Default Roll Call: Add your name to the CanJam '08 attendee list!

Here is a tentative list of people that have indicated in the initial thread they were in. I probably included some that may have changed their minds and left out others that are coming. If you are in either group, feel free to let me know in this thread and I will edit the list. Sign ups should be here soon. Don't forget to reserve a room.

Calm down, big guy ... I am so there, it's a lock. Room reserved (Thurs - Sun), and plans made. My place on the list is secure.

ok, I know I will regret this ... but Ed, you must come to CanJam '08. Accordingly, you have a room with me and Al (Voltron .... we are inseparable at Head-Fi functions, in case you hadn't noticed).

It's done, then, you're coming, right? ummmmmh, I think NightWoundsTime is in the room, too. No worries, only Al and I make noise ... Matthew, the Younger, only spews poetry and Greek mythology at odd moments.

Oh, yeah, this will be fun ...

That's a very short list! It should be at least 5 times that long by now, and well over 10 times that long by May! C'mon, headphone nuts! Let's hear from you.

You're going to have to be pretty darn agile to get around our room because we already have philodox, young Matt and Mr. and Mrs. Ed. I think that these suites have two bedrooms and then a couch bed thing, but I am not sure. I guess we'll just be cozy.

Hey, Gene. You guys taking off on Sunday, or Monday morning?

Affordable flights with a Sunday night departure are impossible to find.

We'll be around till Monday I'm sure. The party will still be in full effect.

BTW your two posts above the best examples of slurred typing I've ever seen.

"Howmany mpeople attended HEadgfest last year/?"

That's how Gene was talking last Sunday .

EDIT: Ooh nevermind, actually that post in the logo forum was the best example I've ever seen.

ok people it's time to get your butts off the couch and start planning to attend. DO NOT be put off by the room price they easily accomodate 3 so after the cost share they are actually a bargain when you include the free breakfast that could choke a Viking, the happy hour (could be interesting), free WiFi and fellas look it's Florida in the spring and there is a great pool outside as well as being just a quick cab ride to the beach.

Book early Book often!! This is going to be a party/meet that people will be kicking themselves all year for missing. IF you want just a taste of how great this meet will be go visit the epic Mayberry on Acid meet and add a boatload more peeps, at least two live bands, multiple guest speakers...

Just the DIY workshops make this a great deal, heck you could get started sticking it to the man and making your own gear after Stephan and Nate are through with you.

That was me telling you to stay away from Spirit Air. Jet Blue is one of the most organized courteous airlines in the business.

That is my recommendtations if I carrre too reemmembe r correctly.
