Atlantic City New Jersey makes more sense than Princeton Since it is closer to a semi-major airport; one that the FAA is hoping to use for overflow from the other major aiports (Newark and Laguardia). The rates seem to be lower since it is a 'gambling town' and there is much to do there.

I will look into AC NJ for more detailed information.

I found an OS/2-Linux Users group in New Jersey; northeastern NJ. The New Jersey Linux & OS/2 User Group. The only way to contact them is by attending a meeting. I will try to get to one.

"Meetings

We are meeting in Hackensack, NJ.
The James E. Hanson Building
235 Moore Street.
Corner of Salem and Moore between Main and River

Our meetings start at 7:00 PM on the last Wednesday of every month except our November and December holiday schedule, when we move to the first Wednesday of the following month. "



There was mention of combining with other groups to make a larger convention?

That's an interesting group. If they are indeed still active, this Wednesday will be your chance. Think you can make it?

I will consider it. I think it is about an hours drive from where I live. I will check a site like mapquest to see how far it is from where I live. I might have to see if I can get to their May meeting instead.

"GOOD MORNING TOM I HAVE MEETING ROOMS AVALIABLE AND MY LARGE ROOM WE DO HAVE HAD CATERED BANQUETS BEFORE I WOULD NEED MORE INFO AS FAR AS THE SIZE OF THE GROUP TO ANSWER.

Here are two replies from the Ramada in AC NJ.

I posted my 'bid' for the Atlantic City New Jersey location for the 2007 Warpstock. It might not be perfect but at least I got it in.

I am hoping others have put in a bid. I hate to be the only one bidding a location.

The convention room is not available on Sunday the 28th of October. I had called for convention room rates and was told this. Even if I had called earlier (I called on 10-09-2007), it might not have available since I was not actually booking the rooms.

There is only three meeting / convention rooms at this hotel - Ramada. One is booked for the 28th of October. I will check for other hotels in the AC NJ area. It might be too late to have the Warpstock convention in AC NJ.

More bids from hotels in Atlantic City. I will be getting information from Sheraton and Ramada.
