I can't emphasize this enough as it's my only true concern. I know SELEM isn't necessarily a big drinking event but, I (We) don't want to do anything to jeopardize our ability to come back and use the facility in the future. As far as the bar, there are 8 beers on draught as well as several bottled varieties, 9 or more types of wine, and a full line of spirits. Prices are reasonable at $4 for beer, $5 for wine and $6 for mixed with pure alcohol drinks like martinis being $8. ~Brad

Sending payment now, short drive for me is a nice bonus
Stoked for a live show too!
Looking forward to another great event!
Thanks to Buffo and Bradfo for putting this together.
Might there be a hospitality room available at the HIE like we had in Conover? And if one decides to take advantage of the cash bar, is there adequate Uber/Lyft in the area to/from the hotel? I personally really like the idea of the cash bar, and the drink prices are very reasonable. I never really drank at SELEM because I was always driving back to the hotel. Thanks.
There is a conference room at the Holiday Inn and I have discussed it's use with the management and what it would be for. They were ok with it but, we will revisit it again once we're closer and some rooms get booked. I also advised them to try and keep all the laser people together and ideally the closest rooms to the conference room. This is a smaller hotel than Conover so I honestly expect we'll have a good bit of the entire place anyway.
As far as Uber/Lyft yes, there are plenty in the area but, the hotel is also 90 seconds from my house so, there should always be some way for you to catch a ride if you want to partake.

SO -
Room to fly drones in the immediate vicinity?
I should have several HD-equipped FPV rigs ready to go by then, with a 2nd set of goggles for ride-alongs

DONE AND DONE!!! I can't freaking wait!
I fly them often in and around the building itself. There is a county park across the street and, a RC plane flying field under maybe 8 minutes from the hall. In addition, if people are up for it, I’m not opposed to an early start at a couple of my favorite spots all within 10 to 20 minute drives on the upper Chesapeake bay including a lighthouse. I’ve spent a great number of sunrises there.
