haldir Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Why did have to be Labor Day? One of the worst weekends for me when it comes to requesting time off. If 18 follows like 17, we had a inventory the week after that + major holidays are usually a big no when it comes to time requests. Even if the weekend after would have been fine. My enthusiasm for the Con has taken a hit that's for sure. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezler the Polychromatic Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I have very few people be happy that this is being done on the Labour Day weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Bedlam Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Tentatively, I aim to be there. Getting the time off is no big deal, but hotel bookings are likely to be tricky. And plane bookings. Errrrgh... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilvish the Deliverer Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hmmm, labor day is somewhat doable. Assuming that I don't run into contact difficulties. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegazus Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yeaaaah... Labor Day. That's a bit of a traditional family trip. And since I drive, coming back home up I25? That's going to cause me some pause. Going to have to think hard on this, but right now I'm leaning "no". 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylverthorne Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 And I won't know if we can go until the room blocks go up and we know what we need to budget... but Labour Day weekend.. holy pants. I do know we're not likely to have anything scheduled that would interfere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I tend to fall in this category as well. Makes it very unlikely I can make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyHorde Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I may have to choose between RC and another family reunion in North Carolina. 2017 was our first in 25+ years, and everyone talked about a repeat this year. Decisions, decisions... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHorde Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 For me, the change to Labor Day weekend adds new variables to consider. At the moment, they seem to land mostly on the negative side, with increased travel expenses across the board, plus crowded roads, hotels & restaurants, plus a family event schedule conflict. This will require more thought and planning, and family discussion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoneye Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 My birthday weekend, not sure if I'm happy or sad. The kiddos usually start school that week, not happy about missing a first day :( We'll see... New venue looks really nice though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thes Hunter Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 @Dragoneye - There may be a lot of birthdays that need to be celebrated that weekend. Which actually makes it easier for me to come, since I can tell my husband “It’s for my birthday!!!” 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nytflyr Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 was looking at the "normal" rates for the hotel, I'm hoping for a deep convention rate discount. Ive looked at other hotels in the area and they are already booked... may be to expensive for my budget this year :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
