Carl is going to plan some "manly" outtings... lol for the husbands. I'm sure the brewery tour will be in there - though it'll be under "new management". I'm sure the schlafly's tap room will be in there somewhere as well. He likes guns -- so maybe a shooting range as well... lol

Holy Crap!!! Are you kidding me? This sounds fantastic, Libby. I'm so glad I stumbled across this thread... it's the first I've heard about it. (that's what I get for not THINKING in a while)

Gotta go register.

Don't know if I can handle you guys twice a year, though.

Fantastic.

Now I gotta figure out where to crash.

February is going to come up quickly, I have a feeling. This is fantastic.

Yes, this was the first I had heard about this... not alot of LE time these days. A MoBeRe group PM would be a good idea, I would think.

I just booked a room at the Hampton we stayed at in January for Stacy and I that weekend - We'll be down late Thursday night. Figured being Val weekend - we needed to book early so I'm not trying to squeeze the 5th wheel in Becky and Carl's driveway.

You read my mind... about staying in a hotel... didn't even think about the Valentine weekend thing. Wonder if rooms will be more expensive that weekend? Darn.

Anyway...I just sent this off to Libby & thought I would post it here, too...

I was talking to Miss Kate about staying @ her place during "the experience" & then started thinking... this is what I wrote to her:

I was just thinking about my experience w/ the Gathering last year & driving home each night, missing out on late night fun... wishing I was staying @ the hotel where most people were booked & how exhausting it was, getting up each morning early to drive into Minneapolis.

& w/ Glass Stock... my whole family WAS going to come, we were going to make it a several week road trip, but w/ gas prices, we decided not to do it, so I'm flying out... but even if they were going to be there, camping down the highway, I was going to stay @ the hotel where most of the Glass Stock peeps were staying so I wouldn't miss out on any of the late night fun.

So, this makes me think about this (the Glass Experience)... will there be lots of out of towners & will they be staying @ a centralized hotel near Third Degree? (too early to know at this point, I'm sure) ... would even local people want to shack up w/ a group of people so they could stay nearby & not miss out on "whatever". Guess it depends on how early & how late it goes... they're serving breakfast & it'll probably go really late w/ open torch or something like that in the evening... just might make sense to stay nearby. Putting 4 to a room would be fairly inexpensive...


So.... wondering if it would make sense to have a suggested list of local hotels for out of towners... give people an opportunity to hook up w/ others for roommates (on LE?), etc... Would be cool for local peeps to stay down there, too... like I said about my Gathering experience. It could be a blast, to all be in one place, like the retreat.

Whatcha think?

yes we have 3 hotels we are negotiating with for group rates.

one is closer to the venue but a tad more pricey but still very reasonable and the other two are with in a 15 minute drive and would be cheaper - one has a shuttle service even.

We should have a final prices and hotel code for you to use within a few weeks.
Breakfast will be at 3rd degree every morning and yes there will be open torch sessions every night as well...

Hey Becky

I was looking forward to meeting you at GS and was bummed when you couldn't come

Throwing an event like GS in your own back yard has got to be so much easier than traveling halfway across the US !! Looks fun

I don't think I"ve ever been to St. Louis....

The Hampton we're staying at is only 5 minutes from Becky and Carl's and 20 from the third degree. Thursday's room was pricey but then dropped 50 bucks for the weekend. If Nori and Jerry from Retro Glass Tools make it down, then we'll more in likely split it again like we did in January. I'd be looking at rooms now to reserve (you can always cancel) and get summer rates before Labor Day

Just my 2 cents worth.... can I have my change now.... lol

I love the hotel idea. I think an important factor would be which one had a bar.
