where is this intended to take place? nyc, or ny state? is the cost of $500 plus expenses per person, or flat rate for as many students as there are to sign up for this?

$500 plus expenses total, divide how you guys want to.

I am not sure where it would be held at, I am open to suggestions.

ok that sounds much more reasonable than my assumption of per head cost. whoever is taking the initiative to set this up, determine a location since i think that will have greatest influence than a few bucks here and there.

I'm interested depending on the location, or we can work something out for a personal session less most of the basic classwork

Location would be somewhere in NY.

If you can't do it then let me know and we can work something else out since I remember something about you being in TX.

how many days will this take I wonder. we can probably get Kane a nice hotel to stay that has a small conference room, cuz I'm sure some hotel will let you use it for free.

Good idea.

Thinking 2 days would be perfect. 3 would be good if you wanted to get more than 1-2 car's on the dyno.

if we're doing this and get a hotel, someone should get the money and order the hotel. NYC hotel is not cheap (anywhere), especially the one that has a conference room that doesn't look like ****.

and the sooner we book, the better price we get. I rather the money goes to Kane than giving it to the hotel, correct ?

Me too.... LOL

Also a hotel with a business section where they have the ability to project a screen would be nice. If not I'll have to get a projector and bring it with me.

I have a list here, most of them are in the city --- couple are in queens (I assume that's probably closer to where most people lives EXCEPT team ... lol)

well, I guess I will start calling hotels next week and see which one has a projector.

Not yet but does aug 23 to 26 sounds good for every one? It's Monday thru Thursday. Reason? Cheaper hotels!

If not, how about the weekend before that? Which is 18- 22.

Reason? Cuz I am afraid some ppl here is in college right now and School probably starts around that time.

If no one is in college, then we can push the date a bit later, end of aug or early sept will have lower hotel prices.
