Happy new year! With the new year comes the fact that we are now less
than 6 months away from AvatarMeet 2012. For those of you not signed up
or not sure if you will be attending, you have some time yet to figure
things out. Just be aware of hotel discount deadlines and other
important information about dates. To sign up, simply create a profile
on AvatarMeet.com here.
For those of you that have signed up or are planning on attending,
there are several things to keep in mind such as hotel reservations,
cosplay, camping, carpools...ect. Detailed info on hotel reservations is
here.
Please keep your profile on AvatarMeet.com updated as you change your
plans or make reservations, as it helps to coordinate events and make
sure everyone gets to Seattle and has an awesome time there. This
newsletter contains a lot of pertinant information about getting ready

If you haven't yet, now is a good time to register

information to help us plan the meetup. We are getting close to having
to make some decisions based on numbers, so the more good usable intel
you can provide, the better! Registering also lets you see cool stuff
like the full list of who's attending which parts of the meetup and
who's still looking for roommates...ect. If you are already registered,
now is a good time to stop by the site and check that your profile is up

Camping Transportation
The camping trip, which takes place before the actual meetup, will be in
Olympic National Park. There has been a lot of discussion on
transportation to and from this adventure. Right now, we are trying to
figure out what shuttles we need to help people get to the camp site.
There will be at least one shuttle with capacity of 12, and likely
another with capacity 7, both in the range of 35$. Both shuttles will
take people to the camp on Monday and then return them to the meetup
hotel on Thursday. Exact times will be sent out soon. If you are
interested in a shuttle please let us know by emailing us at
camping@avatarmeet.com or posting here.
Irayo! Keep in mind that this shuttle is for the camping trip only. If
you are planning on going on the backpacking portion, you must arrange
your own transportation.

2012 Cosplay
The number of participants is up to a fantastic 22 people. Weather
permitting, the official cosplay day will most likely take place on
Saturday. Everyone is invited to take part if they are comfortable, even
if it is something as simple as a labcoat or a military uniform.
Discussion on the cosplay is here and here.

Donations
In order to push this event to the next level and make it something to
never forget, we need to have some funds. Our goal is $2000, which comes
down to $40 per person. This is assuming 50 people, so if we have a
larger number of people attend, the overall number may need to be larger
to accommodate everyone. The $40 per person should remain constant
though. These funds go directly into the event, allowing us to rent out
rooms for classes and meeting spaces, as well as to arrange for events,
clan meal...ect. You do not need to donate right away, however the
sooner the better as we are already getting events nailed down and paid
for. Irayo to everyone that has already donated. For more info see here.
