i talk a lot about this prospect on the most recent podcast episode, haha. i've booked my hotel room at the royal sonesta next to the galleria. i'd be more than happy to do this at your place if it's going to be a small group, and i'll buy the hard liquor (dear god no peach vodka). we should do a potluck!

put a post on our facebook page/twitter to get a better idea of how many people are actually going to come. SO EXCITED.

I'm so excited about this! If we do this at someones place I can definitely bring lots of booze and some theme snacks. I still haven't made anything from Feast of Ice and Fire yet.

I'm definitely willing to help with scouting or anything along those lines. October seems so close yet so far!

Seriously Trader Joe's will be open by then so I'm totally down to buy a few cases of 2 buck chuck and print out arbor gold labels or whatever.

I was thinking we could start late afternoon? Like maybe 4ish? That way we can continue the party if we want, but people can also still have Saturday night free for other stuff.

Are we still thinking potluck style?

I'm free late afternoon/evening. I'll probably bring my husband and maybe one other fan - if she's finished Dance yet.

Potluck is still good with me. Since there are only a few of us me may be able to go out somewhere if anyone prefers - but I'm good with either.

I'm so excited to meet you guys! Real name is Emily btw.

Let's try to get a final-ish head count? I'm in, and inviting a non-listener friend.

Well, I checked and my one friend hasn't finished ADWD, (that was an interesting Daario in a Dr. Seuss hat conversation) and my husband grimaced at the idea of an afternoon of ASOIAF talk. So looks like it's just me! :)

Also, Anita, if you're at UH today, I'll be chilling at the Den waiting on my ride from like 4:30-7:30 if you'd like to meet up early or want help with plans.
