Is it possible to do it the weekend after that then?
27th 28th?

Gives ample time to make arrangements and if were lucky warmer weather.

Good question.

I guess Jin was waiting for the hard confirms from his PM last night.

I'm still pm'ing. I was out all of yesterday, and had no access to the forums. I'll update whenever I can.

UPDATE:

So far I have two person confirmed, one person declined, and 2 other people replied to. The remaining 4 are unaccounted for. I will take today to wait for responses and answer questions. By tomorrow, if I do not have more than 5 people (myself included), I will cancel it for this weekend and push for the 21st. I have spoken to Kane about it, and he is fine with this proposal.

For those who read this thread: The current situation for the 12th/13th is this:

Cost: $720 total - split amongst those who attend (5 people attending is $144 per person).
Location: Queens, NY. Probably a hotel near La Guardia or J.F.K. so we can get parking space and a conference room.
Time: 7pm on Friday the 12th. This is to allow people to get off work at 5pm to get to the place. We can work on this.

Alright - due to the low interest for this weekend, I will push it to the 21st. I will update more information later today when I figure it all out.

Given the weather, probably not a bad idea.

We shall see.

Thanks for pushing it back. This was pretty much my drop dead date for saying "if no further info, I'm backing out"

Also, only 5 people pushes the price past the webinar from MM, when you count in gas for me. The break-even point is about $120 a person, or 6 people. Possibly less money more people due to southern CT and NY gas prices.


If this happens, I will need a place to crash overnight. It's ~3hrs from Providence. Don't need anything fancy, even just an empty spot on the floor will work. I'd willingly sleep in my 8 if the weather was warmer

Alright - I'm trying to see if I can get in touch with RX927 to see if he is interested and would let us use his place.

If so, we can cut down on the hotel bill and make it even cheaper for all of us.

I am thinking of canceling this.

This is my last weekend free, and the lack of interest is motivating me to pull the plug and have you guys do the MM seminar... I don't want to leave this weekend open if the tuning class get's canceled last minute.

If we don't have enough confirms by Monday then I'm gonna say this is a no go.

Gotcha - I understand. As far as I can tell, most everyone else is still a maybe. Only the two who had confirmed to me seem to be definite regardless. I can't really vouch for much more =\

Werd man - not trying to be a ***** - but I'd rather set up some other stuff IF we can't get the people for this.

Let's see how it goes.

I'm still down. I think 4 guys would make the cost low enough to be worth while.
