Sorry I haven't updated about time and location in a timely manner. My schedule just went crazy this last couple of weeks

but things have calmed down now and it's time to make this gathering official!
Time: I am looking at the 11:30am time slot on Sunday for this gathering. If that doesn't work (if its full etc.) my back up time slot would be 10:30am
Update 05/09/12: Gathering submitted for 11am instead. Reasons: 1) In 11:30am time slot there would be another group at our location immediately after us and we usually run a bit over the half hour time slots 2) I realized I might be unable to get our gathering checked in on time at the 10:30 slot, that extra half hour can make all the difference sometimes!Location: Due to both construction and the alternating freezing and burning temps we've experienced with this gathering the last couple years, my first choice of location is 1FCC RS the 1st Floor Convention Center Lobby Riser Stage. The convention entrance facade blocks the windows enough that this location does not suffer from being back-lit like the lobby doors and my hope is that at close to Mid day there would be even less chance of that. Also, with our ballet theme a stage might be fun. I realize that for those of us in Tutus there is the panty shot worry if we are raised above the crowd slightly, but even if we opt to simply pose in front of the stage it could act as a handy support to lean against for longer poses

Second choice location would be FMS the Front Marriot Side of the Convention Lobby over by the trees.
Please let me know if any of you have any preferences, objections or opinions. I will bewaiting till Monday 05/07/12 to submit this gathering in order to give you all a chance to respond.
Thanks everyone, and I can't wait to see all of your fabulous cosplays!
