The Bransforumfest Writing Retreat
Posted: December 12th, 2011, 11:22 am
If you've been keeping up with the workshop brainstorming thread (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4104) you know that the 2012 Bransforumfest is quickly approaching. We have a lot of great interest, but we're starting to need some hard numbers and we need to make some decisions in the next couple of weeks.
As of 12/12/11, we are looking at 7 confirmed in attendance with a couple of husbands/boyfriends tagging along for the ride. We've picked city (Las Vegas) and a hotel (Luxor) and the dates (arrive Sunday 3/4, Depart Friday, 3/9).
The hotel, before taxes, will cost $295 for the entire trip, and some people have been discussing pairing up and being roommates to cut that in half.
Getting to Vegas will be up to you. We can attempt to coordinate arrival times so we can carpool or take the shuttle from the airport to the hotel.
The hotel has a ton of great conference rooms we can book and Brenda is organizing informal but hopefully inspiring/helpful workshops. We've discussed coffee shop take-overs and pool side writing sprints as well as running around the strip having fun together.
I personally can't WAIT to get in the same room with some of you and pick your brains and laugh about the craziness we get up to around here and really enjoy working together with some of my favorite people. I can't wait to have middle of the night writing sessions camped out on someone's hotel floor.
So, with all that in mind, if you're not already on the committee putting this together, can I get a show of hands for those who definately want to come to Vegas with us in March for all or part of the week? If you're a definate or a very strong maybe, please raise your hand. We need to know how many rooms to have the hotel block off for us so we can reserve them in the same area in the hotel. I'll also get your contact info you can be a part of the scheduling emails.
So tell me "I Will Definately Be There" or "I Am A Very Strong Maybe."
Also:
Are you bringing a spouse/boyfriend/sister/girlfriend/best friend?
Do you want to be roommates with someone if someone is available?
Thanks everyone! March can't come soon enough!
