Try not to get discouraged, History_Chick. Even if you don't get to make a pitch (like me), it's a great opportunity to meet & greet with like-minded writers. You've paid your money--might as well come and enjoy the conference.

yeah but I'm pissy right now so I doubt I will have any fun. I'm in a mood and when that happens forget it. It seems like a big damn waste.

Welcome to AW and enjoy. See ya' there too.

I wish I could've gone...it's too far and a little too much money for me to put down to go. I suppose I'll have to wait another few years...

For you conference vets...is there any reason I need to rent a car (I'll be there Friday leaving Sunday)? I'd rather have a town car service so I don't have to worry about directions but if you found that you left the conference frequently then I'll rent a car.

Also, I looked at the 7 day forecast and it looks like it will be nice for most of the weekend

I think a car is unnecessary. One the conference starts, it seems to be a full plate. You should stay in the hotel and network.

The hotel has a shuttle to the huge mall across the road and to the adjacent Streets of Woodfield if you get cabin fever.

Car's completely unnecessary. I never left the hotel during the last conference in Albany. There's really no time for sightseeing unless you stay an extra day.

Thank you!

I'll be there!

So is there a get together planned? I'm in

We're planning to meet in the hotel bar around 5 pm Friday, before the opening reception. See you there!

Is there recognition signal?
