Jack M Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Uhhh.... since I suspect a fair number of people simply skip past those "sticky" threads at the top of the forum..... Did you know that at the ECES we will be raffling off boards from <b>DONEK, COILER,</B> and for the first time, <b>VIRUS</b>?!? And <b>TWO</b> pairs of <b>Bomber TD2s</b> and <b>TWO</b> pairs of <b>Catek OS2s</b>?!? And Tex is buying everyone a round on him?!? (well, he offered, but we'll see how far that goes!) <i>BUT...</i> we are still short by a big number on the minimum we need to hold the banquet. Please, don't make us eat the deposit. If you are going to be there and you want in, please please please sign up and pay your fee by credit card or paypal by clicking the paypal button here: www.eces.us/info.htm The deadline for signing up for the banquet is <b>February 8</b>. We cannot accept payment at the door. THANKS!!! www.eces.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The beer is real...a round or two for everyone who shows up at a bar to be determined on a night to be agreed upon... Does this give me better standing in the raffle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 You sure got my attention! Unfortunately I can't attend the session. If I were, I would for sure take you up on your offer, Tex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The accommodations Geoff has arranged at a group discount are <b>first come, first served</b>. We do NOT have a block of rooms set aside - they simply wouldn't do that. We (read: you) are competing with the general public for available rooms. Once the Village Green and Golden Eagle are sold out, the group rates are gone and you'll have to figure something else out. cha-ching. Don't delay! www.eces.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Jack - I/we are going to try to make it up. I unexpectedly had to take a long trip home to PA in October because my mom wasn't doing so well, and I burned through all of my saved up vacation time. I'm trying to swing at least a day or two up there, and if we come - we'll definitely be there for the banquet. We just need to look into lodging options for 2 or 3 nights, if we decide we can make it. I'll decide before the sign up deadline, so we can be part of the headcount! I added us to the voucher list on the eces forum board just in case, and with high hopes! Plus, I want to make Tex buy a few more beers than he planned on :D Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well, if I can go I'll totally be signing up before Feb. 8th. Throw another reminder out closer to that date if you would. Not that I'll forget it, but you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 oh we will remind you. I know how it is, I never do anything before the cutoff date, due date, whatever. But this is rather unnerving for us. If we don't make our minimum by 2/8, there will be an unpleasant decision to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to get the other half to join me, who knows what he'll want to do. I'll coordinate with you over email. Thanks!!

Jack M Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yup, come on folks, step up! We've got another banquet deposit due next week. I really didn't want to say this, but....... if it comes down to it we will have to resort to <b>ASSIGNED SEATING!!!</b> Imagine the humiliation of being forced against your will to sit with such nerds as Fin Doyle.... Dave Morgan.... Shred Gruumer.... Ben Schurman..... I could go on. Oh the humanity! They'll bore you to tears with minutia of numerically controlled machining, Information Technology, digital photography, aeronautical fuel pumps, and whatever the hell Dave really does. So let's go folks, ante up. Oh, and there's an outside chance a Warren Miller film crew might show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyzcanuck Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 ... Oh the humanity! ... Or is it "Oh the INhumanity!"? Or is it "Oh the humiliation!"?

Erik J Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I won't be joining this year. My wife and I are expecing our first child in early March. I had a really great time with everyone at the last ECES. I hope eveyone has a great time and I hope it's the best session yet. I'll try to be at the next one.
