      no shoes or jerky for me, and I'm conveniently located in the middle!  No, that doesn't mean I will host, just have less travel time!  I am wondering how many of us there are.

   Chapin, I think Charleston would be a great place to meet.  I wish there was a way to filter hubbers by location, but if there is, I don't know it.

       I vote for October. I know that's a while away, but that would give everyone time to make plans. Savannah is beautiful in October! River Street is decked out in pumpkins, scarecrows, and chrysanthemums. At least, it was the last time we went at the end of October. The weather is great then, too.
       
       I also suggest we stay at the Hyatt. It's right on River Street, and the back elevator deposits you slap dab on River Street. That means not having to find a parking place on RS - not an easy task. In fact, you can walk to just about anywhere you might want to go and leave your car at the Hyatt.
       
       When we've stayed at the Hyatt, we also found that their restaurant, Windows, had pretty good food that was a lot cheaper than most of the restaurants on RS. I think Windows is open for breakfast and lunch.
       
       Feedback?

    OMG-cardelean just alerted me about this thread!  I am SO excited and geeked about this!!!!!  Count me in and I will be there.  I just need to know far, far ahead to make my work request in time (has to be in at least 8 weeks before the schedule is out).  Wow!  This is going to be so much fun!   Who wants to room with me????? I really am a fun person to hang out with.
    
    
    Oh...and are we going to get a conference room to have our meetings in?   Patti, are you the 'coordinator' for this?  We'll start calling you the DIYHubpageslocalmeetupplanner.

    Okay, so how about 2 weekends before Halloween? Oct. 13 and 14. How does that work? Wait...that's my grandson's birthday. How about Oct. 6 and 7? If that won't work, I can always leave early Sunday morning on the 14th for Tristan's birthday, but the 6th and 7th would be a lot better for me.

    I realize there hasn't been any more feedback on this lately but I'm two hours from Savannah {love the Pirate House!!} and would love to join this event. My only commitment is Oct 12-14 where I'll be at a women's retreat in Joplin, MO that weekend and my son's birthday is Oct 30th. Other then that I am free if this is still happening and open for 'registration'.
