Bunnystock II

Bunnystock (Asheville, NC in August 2006) was an enormously fun and successful mega-meetup of bunnies. During that weekend, it was decided that mike9322 would organize, plan, and host Bunnystock II: The Deadening. The initial planning stages are complete, and it was decided that the event will be occurring the weekend of October 12, 2007, in Virginia Beach, VA.

Lodging Locations

mike9322: Anyone can stay with me. I have a three bedroom apartment which is 20-25 minutes from the oceanfront. I have a queen bed, a queen air mattress, and a twin in my daughter's room. If any couples are coming, I'll sleep in my daughter's bed and a couple can have my bed. It's really squeaky so everyone will know if you do it. I also have a couch whose most comfortable days are behind it, but is serviceable. Otherwise, if you want to stay with me, plan on bringing sleeping bags and pillows. There'd probably be room for another air mattress or two if you've got 'em. I have two bathrooms and plenty of bath towels (but you should bring your own beach towels).

If you want to stay on the beach either for privacy or convenience to the ocean, let me know and I will begin researching hotels. However, since I've never actually stayed in a hotel in my own town, you could probably find the same information I would. Post your findings here. (My sister likes to stay on the beach and stays at the Barclay when she comes to visit, but I don't know how it compares to others in the area.)

Transportation

We have multiple potential attendees from the NYC area, and possibly several from the DC Metro area. Post here if you want to work out a carpool.

People intending to fly should fly into Norfolk (ORF). Alternatively, Airtran operates out of Newport News (PHF), which is a bit further away (45 minutes compared to 15), but you may be able to get a cheaper flight.

Activities

The beach. Duh.

More activities to follow as I come up with them, but, honestly, if the weather holds out, I imagine we'll probably be at the beach most of the time. There are of course a wide variety of good restaurants in the area. I'll procure a grill so we can eat at home as much as possible if that's what people would prefer.
