Conference II Poll #2: Dates

[stormtracker]

The choice weekends of the last two in July are not available. These are the choices. Please state your preference and if you could, state why. This isn't necessary, but if a few of you could, that would be great.

[forkyfork]

whichever date is more likely to have a major heat wave

[Srain]

It makes no difference to me. I plan on attending regardless of when we do it.

[Avdave]

since Ill probably be out of work still either one works for me

[Scotty Lightning]

July's a good time for me because I can burn some vacation time.

[ThreeRedheads]

Any idea if it will be local? By that, I mean DC metro area.

[AmyB]

either works for me.. as long as it's within driving distance, i'll be able to make it

[H2O]

So I guess next year is a go now. No more 2013.

[toad strangler]

I would love to go and could whenever, but, I am in orbit so far from the hive that I need a telescope. 6 inch mirror min and no light pollution

[yhbrooklyn]

If we were to make the drive again, it would have to be August. The July weekend is the death anniversary of my wife's grandmother and there is always a family getogether then.

i'm so glad i flew to the conference...won't be close enough to drive next summer, so flying it will be...if you buy in advance...you can get r/t tix for about 250$...saves putting mileage on your car and stopping for gas and food...and your a.ss going numb

[mappy]

Either will do

[weatherwiz]

Personally, August would be better for me as it allows me time to save more money but I'll be coming no matter the date.

[eekuasepinniW]

The Dude is busy both weekends.

fyi.

[Damage In Tolland]

It's funny that more than half the voters have never attended a conference and have no intentions of attending this one.

[usedtobe]

Either is OK but I voted for the later date.

[#NoPoles]

It's funny that more than half the voters have never attended a conference and have no intentions of attending this one.

i was wondering how many people were voting that had no intentions of going...

[H2O]

It's funny that more than half the voters have never attended a conference and have no intentions of attending this one.

I count 24 out of 37 votes at this moment who have been to at least one conf.

[Fozz]

I prefer July, because that August date falls within Ramadan.

[stormtracker]

I count 24 out of 37 votes at this moment who have been to at least one conf.

I don't know why Kev is so negative when a poll doesn't go his way. I would hope people who have no intentions of coming don't vote. That's sorta why I made it public.

[TheTrials]

As a non attendee to previous conferences, I voted August because I can never go in July. It wasn't to upset the delicate balance or cause trouble. I didn't see anything in the poll question that said you had to attend previously to vote, so I voted. Does that mean I will absolutely attend? No, but at least it opens the door if it is in August.

[toad strangler]

I didn't vote. I will hold out for a Southern Conference until pushing up daisies.

i guess my post did sound sort of cranky...sorry bout that

[BayBreeze]

if it is in fort lauderdale, june. any of the northeast ones, don't care. i am so damn tired of being jobless i can't see straight. my attendance is questionable wherever it is held. randy does not need my help with these things anymore anyway...he is quite capable of throwing together a great conference alone.

Bring them along-I would personally put together a little remembrance brunch for them.

It's Kevin.

He does the same with the models.

15 votes don't count. They will never attend. It's always the ones that say I'm coming this year ..post about it and never come. You know the drill. Those votes should not be counted for either date

I thought you said it was half of those people have never gone and never will?

Change your vacation plans and then you can come to the conference Woody.

It is a heck of a commitment to go to one of these and sometimes unforseen events take away a person's ability to go when they say they will 8 months prior. Sh i t happens.

can't fly, i need a more flexible schedule because of sarah..

i like when my ass goes numb on the ride! it's part of the fun! and i can't sing every song on my iPod on a plane, the other passengers wouldn't appreciate it
