[18:01] <wxl> bkerensa: sgclark: where you guys staying at for lfnw?
[18:02] <sgclark> wxl: valorie made a reservation somewhere, let me dig that up
[18:02] <wxl> sgclark: probably the hampton since it's the "official hotel"
[18:02] <wxl> rate is decent too
[18:02] <sgclark> ugh and I still need to get funding
[18:02] <wxl> includes "hacker room"
[18:02] <wxl> me too!
[18:02] <sgclark> oh cool
[18:03] <wxl> free 10mbps inet for lfnw attendees
[18:03] <wxl> ok that's official then :)
[18:03] <sgclark> wow I hope she made it there..
[18:03] <wxl> heheheh
[18:03] <wxl> so i'm looking at amtrak and it's kind of sucky
[18:03] <wxl> i guess i have to take friday/monday off too boo
[18:03] <wxl> maybe i should look at *shudder* greyhound
[18:04] <sgclark> oh I still need to figure that out too
[18:04] <sgclark> maybe we can ride up together?
[18:04] <wxl> on the train or whatever? totally!
[18:05] <sgclark> yeah
[18:05] <wxl> jeez
[18:05] <wxl> greyhound is like $12 less
[18:05] <wxl> not worth it at all
[18:05] <wxl> free wifi all the way up on amtrak
[18:05] <wxl> though it tends to be overloaded
[18:06] <sgclark> amtrak then lol
[18:06] <sgclark> pretty ride tho
[18:06] <wxl> perhaps being on weekdays it won't be so bad
[18:06] <sgclark> yeah
[18:06] <wxl> totally
[18:06] <wxl> way better than shitty greyhound :)
[18:06] <wxl> i've been across the country several times on an amtrak
[18:06] <wxl> i'm discinclined towards anything else
[18:08] <sgclark> wow nice
[18:08] <sgclark> ok Hampton Inn, that the place?
[18:08] <wxl> yeah
[18:08] <sgclark> woot
[18:10] <wxl> part of me wants to check for carpooling on the list because i'd rather not take monday off too
[18:10] <sgclark> yeah that would be better for me too
[18:10] <sgclark> so much to do so little time :(
[18:10] <sgclark> Friday ok though
[18:11] <wxl> having to stay another day, though
[18:11] <sgclark> think she already reserved Friday
[18:12] <wxl> well i kind of meant monday i guess
[18:12] <sgclark> oh right yeah
[18:12] <wxl> on the other hand, i hate long drives
[18:12] <sgclark> if we can get back Sunday, that would be great, if not, what can yah do
[18:12] <wxl> i hate cars really XD
[18:12]  * bkero should get lfnw hotel
[18:12] <sgclark> so do i lol
[18:13] <bkero> I'm confirmed speaking, so I guess I'm obligated to go.
[18:13] <wxl> neat bkerensa
[18:13] <wxl> oops

[18:13] <wxl> bkerensa:

[18:13] <sgclark> looks like she reserved through till Monday, so i am good for whatever
[18:13]  * bkero is not bkerensa

[18:13] <bkero> Press tab twice.
[18:13] <wxl> yeah but that's no fun

[18:14] <wxl> well, you win
[18:14] <wxl> bkerensa: we've decided you need a new nick so i don't have to hit tab so many times for bkero :)

[18:35] <sgclark> guess I have been pretty lucky, have not encountered any of that bully behaviour
[18:35]  * sgclark knocks on wood
[18:36] <wxl> i'm glad to hear that
[18:36] <wxl> all i know is men are stupid, so it's a worthwhile thing to have out there
[18:36] <sgclark> yeah
[18:37] <sgclark> I have heard horror stories
[18:37] <sgclark> so awareness is certainly good
[18:38] <wxl> it's also nice to have a guide written by a woman who is highly visible online
[18:38] <sgclark> yeah
[18:38] <wxl> and i bet as a sex writer has had her fair share of horror stories
[18:38] <sgclark> oh I bet
[18:56] <wxl> bkerensa: bkero: if you haven't reserved a room, want to split the cost of a room with 2 queens?
[18:58] <bkero> Nah, I have a SO I'm rooming with, sorry.
[22:28] <bkerensa> bkero: fyi we do have a booth but because of some last minute family stuff that came up I was not able to get my budget in time
[22:28] <bkerensa> bkero: for LFNW
[22:30] <bkero> bkerensa: ah ouch okay
[22:30] <bkero> bkerensa: unfortunately I can't do booth duty again this year.
[22:30] <bkerensa> bkero: yeah the window unfortunately is very tight for budgets
[22:30] <bkerensa> bkero: no worries I will let them know we cant booth
