We had a local meetup here in Atlanta last night and it was a blast! Completely convinced that I'm going to Fincon12 if I wasn't already.
Check out the site to see if there are some local fincon meetups going on in your area. http://www.financialbloggercon…..er-meetup/
We're going to make it a monthly thing if you are in Atlanta and maybe even do a regional stop in Tennesee for the one or two bloggers out that way.

Sorry you couldn't make it but we should be doing the next one soon. We chatted about our sites, why we started, had some great appetizers and dinner, I got some good tips on backlinks and we also talked about affiliates. It was really good to make some good connections.
A few of us stayed till the placed closed just talking about everything.

I didn't know about these groups until Suba told me that while I am visiting her in LA, we'll be going to that meetup on Saturday, 1/21. Woot!!! Can't wait for a mini-FINCON – chatting without classes, lol. http://www.meetup.com/FinCon-L…../45787722/

Just sent a message to PT. It looks like I'm all alone in Oklahoma though :(
I may have to meet up with some of you in the Dallas area.

We are having a Denver meetup on 1/22, which is appropriate because (if I didn't gloat already) FinCon is here!

Hey LaTisha, I emailed one of the hosts mentioned at the FINCON site, but never heard back. I can get to Atlanta on a weekend as I have family there, but even though I live in Georgia, I can't be in Atlanta on a weeknight as it's almost 4 hours one way! For you non-southerners, Georgia is a long state, (yea I know not as big as Texas…)
Keep me in the loop if you are making a list of possible attendees.

They mentioned you live out here. I will make sure to contact you for the next one. I believe Andrea @SmartMoneyChick will be hosting them.

I was really bummed that I couldn't go last year, so I'm making it a priority this year. Still trying to decide if I'll go solo or bring my honey and come/go a bit later and have a little vacation. I'm not too excited about getting on a plane, but everybody keeps telling me that it's only like 2 hours to Denver from Portland, OR. Only 2 hours? 2 minutes on a plane will be quite enough for me.

Looks like I might make it. Mrs. SPF won't be able to given the close proximity to her return to work. But she sees the value in attending this conference.
Losing my wing-woman .. nerves!

As of right now it looks like life is playing a cruel trick on me. I will actually be in Denver the weekend prior to the conference for my brother-in-law's wedding, but I can't extend the trip because that is taking up a ton of holiday time for that period, and my wife has to get back for school commitments. I'm definitely up for meeting down there at some point the weekend before if there are any "early bird" Yakezieians (Yakeziers? Yakezites?) that want to talk to an isolated member from up in rural Manitoba, Canada!

Registration is open. :)
Hotel is $99/night. Looks like the room rate is good for a few days before and after. I'm going to fly in on the 5th and fly back out on the 9th.
Tickets with the "I filled out the fincon11 survey" coupon are $111.

I've got my ticket and my hotel.
Now my choice is whether to fly in at 8AM or noon the day before.
