    Are any of you guys doing a room share for South? I know this obviously isn't the place but wouldn't mind staying with a fellow pinner.

    Another year of Prime gone by... commence the struggle!

    The only problem is getting to San Antonio now right? I assume that's a good 2 hour drive each way...

    That's going on optimism, but the potential is there. Really just depends on how bad it is getting out of Houston.

    Houston to San Antonio is about three hours. I didn't look at bus routes but thats a great idea. I'm pissed I booked my flight to to Austin a month ago.

    I will also be attending, but will be enforcing and might end up missing out on some things (like what happened at Prime). I hope to make it to a pre-pin meetup. I can also _try_ to pick up some pins for others, just send me a message (I am nearish Seattle).

    Hopefully see you in San Antonio!

    Pinfessionals is looking for a southy for our group. We're semi-hardcore (get the pins we can).

    Applications open now! I just sent Manic a message asking if he's getting people applying to him or what.

    What's considered a good price for us folks in the NW? Most I see are $300 and that's about as good as it gets.

    Flights are the least of my worries though. Not having a cheap hotel is the main thing from keeping me from wanting to go super badly. I'd also be flying solo as none of my friends really care to go to South. All of our efforts are typically geared for Prime each year...

    Well, if you get your cobbler with the ice cream, you'll get both the warm cobbler and the cold ice cream. Best of both worlds!

    "Ice Storm" is kind of a cute way of putting it. It gets a little chilly and about five minutes of precipitation and the populous go as nuts as Japan when godzilla hits.
