I booked the hotel and convention right after the new year. I signed up for layout tours, dinner and breakfast. First time I've been to the dinner. I'm driving up Wednesday morning and head for home Sunday afternoon.
I visited friends in Denver the middle of January and they we're saying the remaining rooms were in the single digits. Might be some folks looking for alternate accomodations, unless the room block size is increased.
Now for a real dumb question: Is Louisville in the Central or Eastern time zone?

I have now made my hotel reservations.  Now I'm almost broke again.

I just cancelled mine ..

Don't cancel!!! When else are you going to have a chance to actually meet Iain and give him some noogies at the same time?

For god's sake man, we could have a Iain Noogie Contest, The Iain Wedgie Marathon and The Iain Pink Belly Festival all in less than a week.

Don't miss out on this.

That would make the trip worthwhile. ;D

I tried reserving a room last night and got " no rooms available".
Fortunately, I was just checking and already have one reserved. Looks like they will need another block of rooms.

Was a mite surprised to find that N Scale Collector had already billed my CC for all the convention fees last month, over 4 months in advance.  It's a two day drive from here, will probably overnight in Birmingham up and back.

I am signed up. Got my plane tickets and hotel room. This is going to be great. Looks like I'll be able to meet a lot of Railwire members.

We should have a special Railwire Meet and Greet. I'll offer my hotel room so we can all be in one place at the same time and say hello to one another. How cool would that be?

I will be arriving on Thursday.

Who's in?

Chuck that would be a neat thing to do,  Unfortunately this year is a busy one for me as I will be getting ready for a number of horse shows.  Too bad.  :'(
