UPDATE: Hotel information on page 8 for Charlotte Gathering

Re: UPDATE: Dates chosen for Charlotte Gathering

Depending on when, I might could make this. I usually spend a week in June or early July visiting family an hour outside Charlotte, and if everything breaks right, I could do it. It hasn't broken right for me any other time, but this could be a first!

will you be bringing amy?

Not looking good, but I would if I could! She was one of those people who had a subtle disdain of sports, even being a cheerleader herself, so unless she's changed a lot in the last 15 years, I'm guessing she wouldn't want to hang out with a bunch of sportswriters. On the other hand, she DID marry Greek and she did go to an ACC school, so ...

Ms. Bobcat (perhaps) and I might be in for this one. We're pretty close to Charlotte, I'm sure she would love to hang around some folks who can hold their alcohol ... and it's Charlotte. I'm sure there's a J. Crew somewhere she could walk around for a while and try on clothes.

Besides, I still have to drop off a few bottles of wine with my aunt and uncle just over the border in South Carolina. If the off days align, the OHBs might be in town.

Awesome. If you didn't see the dates, it's May 11, 12, and 13. We haven't chosen a hotel, but if the people who want to come could look at hotels and post what their preference is, it will make picking an official SportsJournalists.com hotel easier.

Also, please PM me with RSVP's when available. We're going to try to get a group rate if we can, so we need a few hard numbers.

I can't make it but I command you all to drink to me. May 11th is my birthday. You must also sing "Happy Birthday" very loud and in as many keys simultaneously as possible.

Oh, and speaking of someone who has hosted one of these, even if you live close do yourselves a favour and get a hotel room. Much more fun and nobody has to drive.

HC,

You should give someone your phone number and we can call you and sing happy birthday as loud as possible.

I just brokered that weekend off with my SE. I guess I'm going.

If Charlotte wasn't some 460 miles away and I had the money, I'd be there. But an 8 1/2 hour drive alone is just too much...

What does your SE get in return?
