Maryland Moot June 2016?

[lavendertook]

So is anyone up for a Maryland Moot next year? Our last was in Dec of 2012 for the first Hobbit film.

The end of April, beginning of May is often beautiful here, but not so good for those of the hobbit posse on academic calendars.

So I was thinking, how about the first weekend in June (6/3-6/6)? Is everyone's semester done then?

The weather is often still temperate here the beginning of June and roses are out, and it's usually quite lovely--though sometimes it can be stinky hot. This would be the week after the Memorial Day weekend. I figured air fares and airport congestion would be worse on Memorial Day weekend, but would be just as happy to have it then, if it were better for people, but I suspect that would be cutting it close for those finishing out semesters.

Or would you not be available until autumn?

What say you? Who is up for it?

Season would not be an issue for me but I can't travel the first three/four work days of each month. But if everything else works out, I'll be up for it.

OK--first weekend of any month is out then. Between you and Claudia, maybe Memorial Day weekend would be better. It certainly is better for me since I'd already have that Monday off.

And the mountain laurels should still be blooming. (-:

My 2 cents is that you should offer a variety of options date-wise and have people vote.

I did that last time and it didn't work so well--this is actually working better so far. Better to get discussion going to suss out what people want and so everyone can see what other people need, rather than just coming by and ticking off boxes.

Sounds good, you're in charge!
