Are **YOU** going to CPAC?

Check in here!

Above is the latest schedule from the ACU. In addition to those events, we will be meeting Wednesday, January 21 at 3pm to put up the booth in the exhibit hall. If you will be in town at that time, please come and join us! After we put the booth up, we will be meeting downstairs at the Sports Bar of the Marriott to have our annual pre-CPAC dinner. If you won't make it in time to put up the booth, we will be in the Sports Bar at 7pm to make our dinner plans.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you are attending, PLEASE check in and register with the conference Wednesday evening. On Thursday, they will be open to check-in, but the entire hotel will be cleared out for VP Cheney's visit, and EVERYONE will be required to re-enter the hotel through the metal detectors.

We are negotiating with CPAC to broadcast the ENTIRE convention. (cross-fingers) Stay tuned for more details!

Unfortunately no .. I'm not going to CPAC .. but I am hoping to make it to Bush's Ignaugral. Not positive at the moment .. but I'm going to work toward it.

[Libertina]

Whoo Hoo!
The CPAC thread is up!
I'm going to CPAC!
(Be forewarned, Tery McCauliff!)
Want to go to CPAC and need a hotel roomie? FReepmail Libertina and I will help coordinate good conservative roommates. Days Inn (at Crystal City, Arlington Virginia) is a nice place, inexpensive, and within walking distance to conference hotel.)

Pings Please Cyber Cowboy! :)

[Libertina]

BTTT CPAC ROCKS!

[Rabid Dog]

Me and my East Coast sister are going to be there! Yipee!!

[DoughtyOne]

If CPAC were being held about six months later, I'd be there. You guys are going to have a great time.

[Dan from Michigan]

90% sure I'll be there.

WHAT? This doesn't make sense. Do they mean the ROOM will be cleared and searched and then everyone will re-enter thru metal detectors?

I will be at CPAC but will avoid the room so that the SS doesn't get nervous.

Is the address for the Day's Inn 2020 Jefferson Davis Highway? Also, are they having special "freeper" rates?

[Libertina]

The address I have copied down is 2000 Jefferson Davis Highway. I was able to get a discount price of $69.00 per night.

Days Inn 1-800-268-2195 Check at this number.
