Moonbird and mygothlaundry say 'ahoy mateys' from lovely West Asheville. So, where y'at?[More:]This thread is a bump of previous Asheville mega-meetup discussion. We picked July 22d as the first choice, and the next 2 weekends as followups. Your thoughts?
My thoughts: HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT!

Any of those weekends is fine with me.

I have posted the following possible dates to the wiki:

Host's choice:
* July 21-23

Alternates:
* July 28-30
* August 4-6

Everyone who wants to go, please update the "dates" column for your name to indicate which of those weekends work for you.

Oooh, sad. Of all possible meetups, this one is the one it will pain me most to miss. Really a lot. But I doubt I can make it happen -- my only real travel flexibility isn't until fall.

Have fun... *sniff*...

Things moonbird didn't mention:
* he posted that from his cel phone
* from the back terrace of the Westville Pub
* where we had a great dinner & several beers
* and then adjourned to a blanket in the back parking lot
* where we watched Time Bandits projected onto a big sheet that, since this is Asheville, looked
* like organic undyed linen
* and it was awesome.

I'm just happy a date is under discussion. I'm pretty any of those date are good with me. After consulting my date book (aka wifey dear) tomorrow, I'll confirm that statement.

You have a way of looking at life, MGL, that always makes it awesome. :)

Those weekends are all cool by me, but as I have said before, the sooner I know the beter my chances of making it.

I'm in beautiful Lake Tahoe, hoping not to get caught on this side of the mountain tomorrow morning.

I can't do the weekend of 7/22, but either of the alternates would be peachy.

For me, the saddest thing about all these wonderful "travelling" meetups is that my summer time off is already booked solid. Totally solid. I maxxed out the vacation days and all that. I won't be able to make Vegas, or this meet-up (and Asheville is gigantically, megatastically, campulously appealling; i.e. has outdoor activities); however July 22-* is my birthday weekend, so if y'all are gonna meet then, raise a glass for me.

The upswing of this summer being booked solid for me already is that I'll be going to Italy and France in July, and going on a small east coast mini-tour with the band in August.

Any one of those three weekends would be okay with me.
