I'm researching. Just as an in case sort of thing for May.

Edit: See Mike run. See Brian forget. See knowledge of non-hotel stay. See me amazed.

I'm still looking though, jic.

Edit: Good lord boys! The Palmer House is costing around $400 per night when I check it out for May and October right now!


Sweet Jesus man you don't get a room from them directly... Go to Hotwire and then let me know which one you are thinking of. I know the hotels down town well enough to be able to give you a good idea of what hotel is what.

You can stay at our place too you know.
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

I just looked on Hotwire and the best it showed was 89 a night for the Palmer house (May 15th-16th) the price was from Hotels.com. The nice thing about hotwire is that now they show their competitors rates so that you can find the best one.

That date was just a random date that I picked. The only weekend that I know of in may that I can't host is the last weekend in May. Our 5yr anniversary weekend...

I'm looking through Hotwire, Hotels.com, Priceline, and other assorted places Vengy. From what I can tell, it all depends upon the date, as of right now. Some weekends are $119 per night and a week later are upwards of $250.00+ in may. As for October, well it's completely all over the place. It's ridiculously expensive as of now, but that's not all that surprising considering that it's a hell of a lot cheaper to nail the room at the last second. The $400 number was through Priceline in October, btw.

It's all preliminary at this point, of course. But, I would love to hang out with y'all again for a weekend, especially if we could get some newcomers.

I definately want to meet all y'all. If something is planned for September, I will do whatever I have to to make it. :)

I'll come as soon as I can afford it! :)

Shin, if you'll be around in Sept. you should start asking people to plan to get there in Sept. I'd love to hang out with you, but if I'm going to be in Chicago in May or Oct there's no way I can afford to be there when you are.

Well, that's what I was saying all along. My plans are pretty set, September is the only time I can travel. So if Vengeance sees fit to plan a gathering then, I'd be able to attend. Not much flexibility for me unfortunately.

Well the Malazan Meet up has forced me to find and revive this thread.

From the looks of things we are looking at a meet up in September. I assume that we are looking at a weekend. So possible dates are

4/5, 18/19th, 25/26th...

I left the 2nd weekend off as a meet up with out Bent would be a sad sad a fare. Till we all got drunk of course. :p

That is likely to be the last weekend I'm in the States. I will definately NOT be in the US on the 25/26th, so that one's out for me.

Dammy damn damn!

There's a Packers game the weekend of the 18/19 in Green Bay, and I will have a ticket to go.

Can those of you who said 18/19, could you consider the previous weekend, the 11th/12th?

Well that is the weekend that Bent can't come... Methinks that you are willing to do anything to get out of getting drunk with us Shin.. :)

A Packers game of all things. You could have just said that you had to wash your hair. :D

Also would it be to much trouble to have one of the all powerful mods stick this thread up at the top. I know us yanks aren't as important as you old worlders...still I would rather not be bothered to go browsing though all of the threads to find this one. :)

Thanks Vengeance

That's just it, I really want to meet you guys. You mentioned the 4/5th as a possibility. Tapper, does that weekend work?

And Venge, yeah, I see what you mean, but at least it's a professional football game. It still surprises me that a big city like Chicago only has amateur teams.
