Did we pick an official date yet? I have a means of getting there, but it involves Amtraking to D.C. then riding north with a friend (new to you guys, yay, new blood!) getting back to D.C. and getting both of us home before August. She's coming from Jacksonville and will need a day or two after the Kon, I'll need a little longer to get back and get my son ready for school and also there is a thing I do the first week of August.
If the date is chosen, I will work around it, because life isn't about me and I understand that. But if the committee is staring at the calendar wondering "However shall we choose between these two weekends," then I am tossing my schedule into the ring for consideration to lean earlier.
If it's been picked and I didn't see it while skimming the thread, just throw something (hopefully either soft or edible) at me and say "Shhhhhh, Jen, the adults are talking!!!!"
