[BrokenHawk]

I can be marked down as tentative for Saturday or Sunday. With Worlds right before, I can really only make a day trip out of it. If DH staff had a preference to Saturday or Sunday, that would also help me decide.

 

[Jocko03]

Boots on the ground for me and my minis

 

[KaeSpoon]

Please mark me as tentative!

I am late putting in a time-off request, so it may or may not go through. I would also need to sort out sharing a hotel with folks I feel comfortable rooming with, but I do have an aunt who lives an hour away if that isn't possible.

 

[Brother Drim]

Mark me as tentative for Saturday/Sunday. I'll be driving back from FL on Friday but I want to try and make it the other 2 days!

 

[SpicyMcTuna]

Put me down as tentative, depends on work and school but I’d love to join if I can swing it

 

[Hostium]

I plan to be boots on the ground. I can either armor up or act as a handler depending on when it is during the weekend. I am planning to be up there Thursday night til Monday if set up and take down help for the booth is needed. I actually also applied to do a halo meet up but am waiting on whether I get approved or not. I was just thinking about making a post on facebook this morning about trying to set up a group dinner for anyone that was attending.

 

[Hostium]

for hotels closest to the venue by distance to walk the Signia by Hilton lobby is attached to building C where the event is being held. Omni is just the other side of building A. Embassy Suites is across the street from the college football hall of fame a block from the Omni. Embassy and Omni can expect about a half mile or so walk through the GWCC. Reverb is a couple blocks away on the backside of the arena and football stadium.

Tentative in armor for Sat/Sun, though I will definitely be attending in my Repair Kit if not.

I work less than 5 minutes away, live 20 minutes away, and have local resources for assist in moving things around or temporary storage. Let me know if setup/load in assistance is required.

Notes:
- Dreamhack has had C2E2 style security the last few years. Be mindful of your pockets.
- Red Deck and Yellow Deck parking are recommended, but there are about a dozen decks in the area. Red is slightly further away, but is covered all the way into the convention center. https://gwcc.parkingguide.com/
- I can bring some power banks/station for AC power and a repair kit for the booth in addition to my own.
- Whomever RSVPs will receive a 3D printed namebadge with their regiment/display name on it.

 

[Brother Drim]

So um, do we have any idea on what kind of skit we are going to do?

Right now skit is tentative based on attendance and ultimately, if you guys want to actually do one. I'm leaning right now with a lower attendance it may be in our best interest to pass on it. Your thoughts, Jocko03 ?

 

[NobleofDeath16]

Would love to see the attendance sheet have some more members. Even if you are tentative, it helps gauge things for the event runner and its a easy adjustment if things change.

Additionally, I am making the call the cut the intermission skit as we simply aren't putting up the numbers required and their deadline to lock in is rapidly approaching. With also knowing some folks going may be a little timid with the size of crowd it draws in addition to it being streamed.

Is the prop tab accurate on the sheet? I think it has some info from another event on it still.

Requesting to be removed as tentative for Dreamhack Atlanta. Sorry everyone, life has gotten in the way

 

[KaeSpoon]

I am also asking to be removed from "tentative" as my time off request was denied.

There is nothing I would love more than to attend more official Southern Regiment conventions, but I need advanced notice to be able to juggle how I'll make my attendance happen during the semester and working weekends.

Love you guys, please have fun for me.

 

[NobleofDeath16]

Prop sheet has been updated; Sorry about that.
