Xerol Oplan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Back in May or January or whatever I had an idea to hold a meetup in Ocean City, sometime during the off-season when rentals are cheap. There's one property in particular that looks nice, and with rental property being what it is I'd need to get a reservation in soon. The possible weekends are: October 17-20 October 24-27 These are both Friday to Monday. I would like to arrange carpools around this as well since we'd probably only get one or two parking spots. This place is pretty cheap, $570 for the whole weekend (before taxes/deposit/etc.), and it sleeps 9 (which means we can probably cram 12 in there at around $60 a person). There's a $100 non-refundable deposit I need to make at the time of reservation so if you can definitely make it, and we get at least 8 people interested, I'd like to collect that by paypal so I can make the reservation, and then I'll collect the rest after you confirm/can make it. This doesn't have to be the only place we rent, and I'm sure if there's enough interest we might even have to rent two places. Rental search. So, if you're interested, pick a weekend (or both if it doesn't matter) and state your interest. I would like to know by next weekend (August 3rd) so I can make the reservation in time.

Don't know about dates yet, but my grandmother has a place down there and i may be able to crash where she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulaman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I'm interested in going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Xucked again. Also, I want to make it, but this is wholly dependent on me finding work in the next two weeks and keeping it long enough to have money for such a thing...so put me down as a maybe.

Dyne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm interested in going. I don't care which weekend. As for carpooling, I need to know who, and where. Also, I can carry five people total, however I'd like to keep it to 4, including myself. Not that I'm trying to be a jerk, but the fact is, it's easier to carry luggage if I have extra space in the backseat for carry-on type luggage. But we can get to that once it's all decided.

Xerol Oplan Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Yeah for a weekend like this, especially if the weather's nice, you're going to want to bring a good amount of stuff. Especially since people will probably bring consoles/etc. along. I was basically thinking if zirc/pixie can come that you could pick them up and then go down Rt. 13 to OC. To Ferret and anyone else worried about cost, it'll probably break down like this: Condo share - $90 with $20 refunded at the end (there's a $200 deposit) Transportation - Share of a 4 person car ride = ~$20 Food - Anywhere from $20 to $50, although I plan on bringing some bulk food for grilling if the place has a grill. So that's around $125, I guess $150 would be a good amount to plan on spending. Certainly not the most expensive meetup in the world, it's just about as long as magfest and a bit cheaper.

The Pezman Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Man, everything's so south of me. Hell, I should host a meetup... doubt my parents would be okay with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm interested in going as well.... Xerol actually wanted me to organize, but because I can't commit 100% I thought that'd be a bad idea. If we get some critical mass going, however, this could really rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Do you have a preference for a weekend? If it seems like people don't really care which weekend it is, I'm going to have it on the first one because it'll probably be better weather and we'd have a week less to wait.

Xerol Oplan Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 I swear there was a lot more interest in this before, where is everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'd have to fight to gather up the cash for any deposit right this second, and I kind of don't have Paypal, confusing the issue even more, but I can totally make this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
