It's a long ways off, I know. But, there's an old saying about the early bird getting the worm. MuleLars and I are working on getting discount reservations at a motel close to Copia. Walking distance preferred to save parking costs. If there is sufficient interest, we will reserve a block of rooms for Friday and Saturday nights. Depending on what is decided, costs appear to vary from $100-150 per night. We are working to get those costs down.

For those who may attend, there will be a Saturday dinner somewhere. We want to know how many will come for how many nights. Post here or pm me to let us know. Thanks. Cool Cool

I would definitely be there for Friday night. Would like to share a room to cut cost and would be open to Saturday too.

Would not mind if we just ordered out from the motel. Looking forward to seeing what you find.

Thanks Marten. That's helpful input. We are considering doing a catered meal at motel for Saturday dinner. What do others think?

As for sharing a room, that's a great idea. I'm a lousy matchmaker so everyone can do their own pairing... Cool

We are considering booking a meeting room at a nearby venue, to designated as 'QuietJourney Room'. We would plan to have a catered dinner on Saturday night at a cost of approximately $15 per person. This room could also be used by those wishing to gather informally, perhaps for trip planning and socializing.

We need to know interest level to see if this is viable...what do you think?

Not completely sure that we are going next year, but if we do, we'll stay a ways out at the same place we always do.  At the end of the day, we just like to get away a bit.  We would still be interested in knowing the information about your meeting room and your dinner, and any times when you get together informally, however.

I would be interested in both a place to sleep and a place to meet.

I would probably be interested in both.  I appreciate prior efforts at arranging dinners and know it is difficult to please everyone.  But I am not interested in another sit down dinner where it is very difficult to get up and talk to other people.  If we had a critical mass of people staying at one motel, we could get a meeting room and order pizzas.  We probably could even get the room for free.

As an option for either Friday or Saturday night we could consider meeting at the Rathskellar (spelling) at Memorial Union on the UW campus.  It actually would be a perfect place to meet.  As a graduate of UW, I could become a friend of the Union and have the privilege of inviting guests.  Perhaps a member of Quiet Journey is already a member of the Union.  Memorial Union is really a classy place and a main stay of UW.  I think there is a parking ramp within 2 or 3 blocks of the Union.

Tonight I get to watch the Badgers beat Alabama.

I'm planning to attend this year, so I'm up for all QJ related events and potential lodging options.

Interested in both nights lodging & a meeting place & a Saturday night dinner (& I echo Westwood's sentiments re: finding a venue where it is easy to get up & around so we can visit with various people).

I appreciate the initiative, guys!

Jimbo   Cool
