Hi Bob,
Did I get the impression only about 30 people are going to be able to make it to the convention?
I understand work schedules, distance, and finances are all problems for many.
But, guess I'm a bit sad that we can't fill the whole place for an all out "Headbangers Ball"!
I was thinking, maybe for those who'd like to make it, but are short on funds or time, could look into "Turn arounds".
At least all over the western US most local travel agencies have these quick inexspensive trips. When living in California, I often would take a "10 hr turn around". A charter bus would drive you up there, drop you off for 10 hours, then take ya right back. They also do this for 2 night stays. Of course, it would be a different hotel, and usually downtown, but there are many shuttles to the strip and back too.
Just thought I might throw this info in for those who are looking for anyway to possibly make it.
Love all you guys and would like to meet as many of ya as possible : )
( The Excaliber is just a short taxi ride down the strip and you can usually get room there for about $35 a night!) just some alternatives that may help more make it.
PFDAN,
Dave
