Who's *planning* to attend TAM 7?

I'm hoping to get to go to this one, but money and time off and other factors will have to all work out just right.

I really want to go, but I'm, well, frightened by the logistics of going. Should I go by myself, or should I drag hubby & little kid? If I go by myself, could I get away with sleeping on people's hotel room floors and wearing Mitchum deoderant for a few days? When should I book flights (and hotel rooms, if needed)? How much should I be looking to spend/save? Is it safe for a naughtyhippo to be wandering by herself with JREFfers in LA? Is the main stuff off the strip for TAM 7?

ETA: Eeek! Looks like flights alone are going to cost ~ £1000! Maybe I can't go after all...

I need a UK event, or at least the London thigy to not be on monday nights.

Try Expedia.co.uk, i went by myself to TAM 6 and it cost me just over £1000 for the flights and hotel for 9 nights, the £1000 just for flights looks rather expensive, but ive seen those costs quoted if you only look on the airline websites, (although that may have been for two people, if for 1 person thats very ecpensive). I checked Expedia a few weeks ago and was quoted approx. £1000 for the flights and hotel for next year, but obviously the price is dependant on where you want to stay.

PM me if you need any more information and ill fill you in on my arrangements for TAM 6.
 
My plan is to be there. Thing is, my job depends so much on the economy, meaning that people need to think they can spend money and then spend it on my services. I just don't know. If I'm not homeless by then, and jobs happen, I will be there.

Sigh...
 
I just hope that the Aussie dollar is back up to a reasonable level against the greenback, or I'll get there and have 40c to my name.
 
As with all TAMs (since TAM2, where I was infected), I will be there if
1. there is a TAM
2. I'm alive

Infected? I guess that makes you a TAM zombie.

But after a few days of not sleeping much in Vegas, we all are zombies.

Good thing the hotel has that all-you-can-eat Brains Buffet.
 
Having been to one TAM now, I can't imagine not going to them all.
 
I'm going.

Sailor Boy said he would request leave and try to attend. Travis will likely have a summer job, so I may not know if he's attending until after spring semester finishes.
 
I was looking at tickets yesterday. Approx $200 on Southwest. I just need to decide if I want to go earlier or stay later to sight see. If I don't, I'll most likely arrive on Wed and depart on Mon.
 
Count me in. I've missed too many of these things to miss any more.
 
I'm going. And I'm super excited as my brother who attended one TAM before is also going again this year. He's the greatest, and some of you may remember him.

He's the really good looking one... for some reason HE got the blue eyes and he easily passes for up to 20 years younger than he is (yes he's my OLDER brother, no he doesnt' look it, yes HE got the good genes).
