I know a lot of you have been waiting for details about the event in Atlanta. Sorry for the delay, but we wanted to make sure we have a really good event at minimal costs to you.
Here are the deets:
August 1, 2009, we will meet in Atlanta. By popular demand, we’ll have a full day of events and some special guests to hang out with.
We need you to do something though. We need you to commit to come and we’re going to ask you to commit with a $15.00 non-refundable registration fee. Why? Well, we will get a tremendous deal at one heck of a nice hotel in Atlanta if 80 of you agree to come and stay in the hotel.
And let’s be honest. We all know a lot of people will like the idea of coming, but if there is no financial commitment, might not come. We don’t want to be left holding the bag on this event. So, we’re asking you to prove you are coming by locking in with $15.00.
Use the form below, or go here.
In exchange for the $15.00 and assuming we can get 80 people to get rooms at the hotel, here’s what we’re offering:
- 1 day to get to know each other and hear from some politicos. We’ll also have two very awesome groups make some presentations on activism, which is exactly what we need.
- $109.00 room rate at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta. It’s one of the nicest hotels in the city and that is an amazing rate. It is very near MARTA, the public transportation system, on a straight line from Atlanta’s airport.
- Breakfast will be included for free on Saturday and Sunday, as will a lunch on Saturday, and snacks throughout the day.
- Friday night and Saturday night cocktails.
- Everybody will get a RedState welcome package.
- Assuming we get 80 confirmed attendees quickly who need hotel rooms, we’ll get an even lower room rate for early bookers, and then a higher rate for late registrants.
Here, again, is the key. We need 80 people to stay at the Hyatt. My understanding from talking to a lot of you is that we’re going to have more than that. But we need the upfront commitment to lock things in.
So you can use the embedded form, or go here. If you don’t want a hotel room, please fill out the registration form and when asked about the hotel, select “no.”

There is no deadline
Erick Erickson (Diary) Tuesday, May 12th at 2:49PM EST (link)However, if we can get 80 people locked in with us this week, the hotel will then drop room rates to $99.00 a night for people who book with them before June 1, then raise it to $119.00.

Ok...Erick thanks..
Aaron Gardner (Diary) Tuesday, May 12th at 2:54PM EST (link)I will go ahead and reserve my spot for the $15 although I won’t know for sure if I can swing it until after June 1st.

Locals and Redstate widow(er)s
Finrod (Diary) Tuesday, May 12th at 3:27PM EST (link)Two items:
What about those of us in Atlanta that are locals and thus don’t (necessarily) need a hotel room?
Also, what about those of us with spouses that aren’t really interested in politics? Any plans for something for them while the rest of us are talking shop?
Let’s get down to brass tacks here. How much for the ape?
Register

The timing isn't good for me
Finrod (Diary) Wednesday, May 13th at 5:18PM EST (link)Her birthday is August 4, and August 1 is currently the closest thing we have to an anniversary at this moment (long story). So the idea of me spending the whole day off having fun with Internet friends while she’s either at home by herself or hanging out in a hotel room by herself isn’t really a situation I want to put her into.

Will I need to book the room separately?

Thanks Eric
George Neitz (Diary) Tuesday, May 12th at 10:43PM EST (link)This is a lot of work to set up and get coordinated and the rates you have got are very good, anyone that would like to check at Hyatt.com the normal rates are $135 per night and $127.20 if you have AAA. If we can get the $99 rate this is the weekly bargain, my wife is staying this weekend just south of the city and the best rate at a decent hotel is over $100 per night.
For all the work and goodies you have added this is a great deal thanks again.

My Reservation...decoded...
RedInABleuState (Diary) Wednesday, May 13th at 4:34PM EST (link)I’m 90% sure I can attend so…here’s my money.
I have a friend in ATL but she’s unsure if she will be in town, so I may or may not need a hotel room. I said “No room” because I didn’t want to mess up your count to reach the magic “80.” But…may eventually need one.
And, wow…that form was a heckuva lot easier than the one I’m setting up at work. Jealous.

Any chance of putting a ticker graphic on here so we can see how close to 80 we are?
