Then come to meet other webmasters over drinks (and if you don't drink liquor I'm sure they can find you a soda, coffee or tea) Can't hurt networking with others in the industry, making new friends and getting to know one another.

oh, i was referring to your "selling" of the area

like I said previously, we will be driving to new orleans right before then, no way we will be heading back down there again a week later....if it was another time, then definitely

Depends on the exact dates. October is actually pretty booked for me as well. And like Jace, I hate to fly in from one thing and head right back out to another. Need some heal up time.

But a gathering on the gulf coast is definitely something that would normally appeal to me.

Please add Connor Young and myself from YNOT to the "maybe" list.

If this happens in Biloxi the weekend of Oct 26-28, it might just have "road trip" written all over it for us.

I went back and re-read this a couple of times. Is there a "host" hotel where most folks will be staying? It will be difficult to get together with as spread out as things are there without a central location. Now, I haven't been there since January and other than the casinos there wasn't much to do.

I am interested. I have lots of family in that area.

Oh...and Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport is about the size of my apartment building..so no getting lost.

I flew into Gulfport once. They had to scare the farm animals off the runway before we could land.

Also, we had rented a car and I selected "luxury" class. They had to bring one down from somewhere just for us. And all the employees from the other rental counters (both of 'em) came over to see who was getting the cadillac, like we were celebrities or something. True story, no BS.

I get the impression this is in the "formulative" stages. I haven't seen a hotel recommendation. I'd be very partial to Beau Rivage just due to familiarity and the fact it's an MGM property myself. I'd consider others simply because they're all essentially new at this point thanks to Katrina.

I stayed at the Imperial Palace. It wasn't as bad as the one in Vegas, which I will not even walk by!

Beau Rivage would be my suggestion too, but I am open to suggestions.

I'll actually be in the area in August. I am looking forward to see what has been done in the 6 months since I was last there.
