[seanlinsley]

I'll be there

[clone1018]

Me and my fiancée are planning on heading in from the airport on Jan 3rd.

[chadwhitacre]

Our plan at this point is for Jess and the kids to stay with my folks, though they'll be there for most of the opening party on Friday evening.

[rummik]

If there's space available, I'd like to come

[chadwhitacre]

How about a total as well, @clone1018?

[patcon]

Circulating an inquiry at @myplanetdigital. Will update.

[duckinator]

I'm planning to go but will almost definitively need a ride (I'm down in Pittsburgh -- Friendship, specifically; I have neither a car nor a driver's license).

[chadwhitacre]

@duckinator You planning to stay out here? If you can't find a ride the PAT 14 leaves from the North Shore and comes out as far as Ambridge.

[chadwhitacre]

@patcon Awesome! :-)

[balupton]

Is this just people interested, or is this people going? What is the date?

[patcon]

Yeah, can we copy the "finalized" deets from https://github.com/gittip/www.gittip.com/issues/1415?

[clone1018]

Not sure how we want to organize the final details, you can find them in the milestone description right now.

This is the RSVP list, the people who are for sure going, I'll put some of the details up top.

[chadwhitacre]

This is people definitely going. Interested (maybes) was #1415.

The dates are:

• Starts: Friday, January 3, 2014, at 5:00 PM
• Ends: Monday, January 6, 2014, at 10:00 AM

Local time is UTC-5 (US/Eastern).

Here's a countdown timer:

[duckinator]

@whit537 yea. No way am I riding back and forth for 3-4 days. :P

[patcon]

@whit537 Happy birthday :cake:

EDIT: Damn you, performant github caching.

[chadwhitacre]

@duckinator Sweet! :-)

Damn you, performant github caching.

Tee-hee. :-)

[clone1018]

@duckinator Come spend the night then!

[kennethreitz]

I would love to join. Can this be a 75% RSVP? :P

[chadwhitacre]

@kennethreitz :dancer:

[clone1018]

Do we want to add .75 people to the RSVP list? :D

[chadwhitacre]

@clone1018 Maybe we should keep a list of maybes after all? In which case we should bring over the folks from #1415, as @patcon suggested above.

[clone1018]

Should we keep it in this ticket or expand it to another?

[kennethreitz]

How about a wiki page or gist?

[chadwhitacre]

/me edits description.

How about like that?

[joeyespo]

I'm in. No need to spend the night if there's not enough room.

[chadwhitacre]

@joeyespo Sweet! :dancer:

[patcon]

Screw it, I'm in. 5h drive from Toronto after work on Friday, so whenever that gets me there, I'm set.

EDIT: Anyone else wanna hitch a ride? I'm on the fence in favour of the bus, but splitting gas might sway me.

[chadwhitacre]

@patcon :D

[ceboudreaux]

Mucho gracias to @clone1018 for the tip on #1415!

Put me on the Maybe list. I'd love to make the trip and meet everyone, but I also want to be assured that there will be some high-level strategic discussion, and not just a weekend full of hacker technicalities.

[rummik]

@duckinator I think @clone1018 isn't sure if that was a yes or a no (it reads like a 'yes', but I'm not really sure either ;P )

[heidigardner]

In.

[clone1018]

Yes!

!m @heidigardner

[heidigardner]

lol. @clone1018 I guess I will be providing estrogen for the weekend. ;)

[clone1018]

We actually have 3 females so far, I'm just super excited that we're filling the retreat up!

[clone1018]

(including you)

[chadwhitacre]

Put me on the Maybe list.

@clone1018 ahem

[clone1018]

Oh, sorry, completely missed ceboudreaux. Added now.

[duckinator]

@clone1018 @rummik whoops, sorry! Didn't notice your @mentions. That's a definitive yes from me, and I'll be staying out there the whole time. I just need to sort out how I'm getting there the first day and back afterwards (and it looks like I'll be able to take the bus, if I can't catch a ride with anybody). :D

EDIT EDIT: I can't brain today.

[chrisdev]

I must be nuts to leave the tropics in the dead of winter for Ambridge, PA, but put me on the list!!

[bruceadams]

I plan to attend. Since I live fairly nearby, I can commute back and forth (and even host a few people, if needed). I'd rather go all in and stay in Ambridge for the duration.

[chadwhitacre]

@chrisdev :palm_tree: :airplane: :snowflake: :D

@bruceadams :house_with_garden: :car: <- That's you parked at my house for the week. :-)

[kennethreitz]

@kennethreitz is a yes, as is @babymoondrop

[seanlinsley]

Awesome! Just added you two :cat:

[nbouscal]

Looks like I'm not going to be able to make it.

[chadwhitacre]

@nbouscal We'll miss you! :-(

[ceboudreaux]

I was really looking forward to meeting everyone, but plans didn't work out as hoped and I won't be able to fly out. Keep me posted if y'all do a live broadcast or some type of remote participation.

[chadwhitacre]

@ceboudreaux :-(

Will do!

[clone1018]

Do we have a cut off date for RSVPs?

[chadwhitacre]

@clone1018 Eh, not really. You think we need one?

[clone1018]

Nope, we can make anything work.
