I plan on being there. This will be my second year in doing lights the convention last year was a big help with great ideas.

I'll be there for sure! Location looks great, now have to find a host hotel unless you guys already have one scoped out. I'm flying in Thursday and looking forward to shop tours on Friday. And of course I'll be hosting a Red-Cup Social Friday night!

SpringHill Suites Charlotte Lake Norman/Mooresville looks like an interesting place.

[mschell]

There are quite a few good hotels in the Lake Norman/Mooresville area. I'm somewhat partial to Marriott brands, since I have lots of points with them. The SpringHill is a great place, with a large breakfast area that could be used for evening activities. There's a TownPlace Suites nearby as well. Hampton, Hilton, and several other brands are either at exit 33 or exit 36 off I-77. All within 5 or so miles of the convention site.

[TGabriel]

And I will also thank William for a good choice in the location.

Still working on Red Cup Social details. Might be in the lobby or maybe a meeting room, waiting for a call back. Please PM a RSVP for the Social so I have an idea on how much space will be needed.

[Al in Raleigh]

Is this the hotel we stayed in last time? If so Walter is going to need to save up and stay in that hotel instead of that rent for 2 hour hotel, hooker palace he stayed in last year. Deb says that if he stays in Hotel Crackhouse this year, he can walk the 15 miles back to HookerPalooza after the Red Cup Socials, because she ain't going to drive him. But, in defense of Hotel HookerCrackHouse, it did have working AC unlike the hotel we had.

The hookers were great and so was the AC. also free brakefast. sounds like round 2 for this year also!!
