Baltimore actually is a nice city, though like all cities, it does have it's bad parts. And Hunt Valley isn't actually in Baltimore, but is north of it in the suburbs. Of course, I don't know when you were in Baltimore, but a lot has changed over the past few years in terms of development and cleaning up crime.

Hunt valley? I was talking about the watrefront right next to downtown. I was there 3 years ago.

I guess I should start compiling a list of local bars and liquer stores then, eh?

And tell them to have plenty of supplies on hand

Do we have a tentative date yet? Or at least narrowed down to the month?

I'll prolly make it as far as the hotel lounge. My range from there will be one beer (not very far in miles).

Yes, we are working on the dates of July 14-16, 2006 (I don't know how you say that in Europeanese ) and, unless anything arises, will propose that date to Firaxis/BHG later this month.

Which essentially means it's quite subject to change!

For those who are interested, attached are links to some documents I uploaded, documents that I'm using to help in my planning. I've never run a convention before, but it's like anything else - you learn all you can about doing it and you do it.

Following are a series of PDF's and MS Word docs available from Marriott.com - they have a convention planning guide that is pretty thorough. Some of you might recognize parts of it in the Planning Guide (linked to below):

The first four are PDF's, the last is a MS Word document.

Budget Checklist

Food/Beverage Checklist

Hotel Negotiation Checklist. Thanks, Marriott!

Timeline Checklist

Part 1 of the
Convention Planning Guide, covering the pre-planning work. This document is a work in progress so this isn't the finished form.

Volunteers and committee members should register to www.writely.com, a web-based document sharing service. It is currently in beta form so it's not perfect, but it will prove much simpler to collaborate on documents than an email chain.

But if Krazy shows up... perhaps we could use a liquor store.

I dont know if Id drive or fly. I may see if some of the Chicago Poly mafia is going and if they want to car pool. if I car pooled, Id probably bring a cooler

And somebody else can chip in by filling it up, right?

I love it when a plan comes together.

I did some quick shots on the logo. It's just a simple and filter-less modification on the forum logo image. Nothing fancy.

#1


#2


#3

[conmcb25]

#3 for me please

[DarkCloud]

#3 is crowded, but it's more interesting. It's the best design so far!

Good work!

Here's my attempt:

(I'll clean up the rough edges and smooth out a few problems with it if people think it's better than Atahualpa's fine creations.)

(and maybe even change the "C" in "con" to a blue color ??)

Its pronounced "Bastille weekend"

"Apolycon" sounds like the media headline that would be given to the indictment for massive investment fraud should it ever be perpetrated by Mark and Dan.
