CKC-Hartford CLASSES ARE UP master list post 1

[lovingthemouse]

Lisa- I'm not doing the crop either since we are getting together - just wondered if anyone else was. Considering picking up a second Sat class - too many good choices- any recommendations?
As for dinner, anything not spicy works for me - since you know that area far better than I, I feel very comfortable letting you all decide.
I will be staying at the Marriott on Fri also - so no need to drive home only to return the next morning.
Raining cats and dogs here- thanks Tropical Storm Hanna - and we discovered a leak in the family room ceiling where the room joins the main part of the house. How lucky can we get?????

There are some really cute restaurants in East Hartford. It has a cute downtown area also. I went to a restaurant there for a business dinner. The company who's software I managed at the hospital is based in Farmington.

I'm surprised the Marriott doesn't have a restaurant - or does it? Don't care what I eat - we can picnic in the room for all I care, it's the company that's the thing. The only thing the old lady requires is a chair she can get up off of, and the plush white couches don't quite sound like It. lol

I've been keeping up with all the plans here by everyone but haven't been posting. I would still like to join everyone for dinner and I fine with eating in or going out.

I've never been to a scrapbook convention before and I have a couple of questions that maybe someone else knows the answers to.

I've gotten an email about registering to receive a free gift, isn't that what I did when I signed up for classes and paid? Is this just an add since now they have my email?

I've signed up for scheming around and I see I need 2 1/2 in photos, anyone know if I can get photos printed that size somewhere or do I just crop them to size?

I'll be driving up and back on Fri., is there a parking garage nearby?

I've never met anyone from the Dis before, how will we meet up for dinner? Just a place and time?

TIA

there are 2 at the Marriott, Vivo and Crush.

Heck, I'm game for pizza if that's what we want to do.

Driving around Hartford, East Hartford, Glastonbury doesn't bother me, I do it all the time too. We have a good pizza place in Glastonbury I could go to or how about I pick up a big several foot grinder (whatever size to accomodate the group) with an assortment of luncheon meats at Highland market, along with chips and dip and soda, and have big fiesta in our room, um er, BAMBs room? LOL

I have gotten that email too. I don't think we need to do anything, we are already registered. We would get a little gift at the door when we check in. That is how most conventions are handled.

There is a garage right next to the convention center where we can park. Not sure of the cost. Yes, you can just crop your pictures down to that size. Honestly I was thinking of just cutting white paper to be my "pictures".

I believe I have your phone number so I can call you and give you my cell phone. Actually you can get my cell phone off of my web site. Give me a call when you get to the convention center Friday. I have a 3:00 pm class, we'll track you down.

I'm game for whatever the majority decides. I will be staying at the Marriot Friday night with NEE and will be driving down from Boston Friday afternoon in time for my Friday afternoon class.

Hey BAMB: could you update the class listing? Anyone else change their classes around by the deadline?

Jennifer I can't drive into Hartford, that underpass before you go to West Farms, I darn near cry there every time! I get flashbacks of Lady Diana's accident. I have to close my eyes, and that would not be good while driving!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Updated! Please check to see how accurate everything is.

What are we wearing to ID ourselves. I think I might wear my lanyard with my DIS LGMH

Honey, you won't have to drive thru any tunnels or underpasses to go to the convention hall.

There is only seven of us for dinner? We could easily go out. I'll have my van.
