I was really hoping this was going to be around the same time mid May as last year.. unfortunately our local home and trade show is the same weekend.

If I can get a refund on my deposit for the show, I will make the trek down to SC again for sure! I'll know later this week what's going on. I actually wouldn't mind a break from the home show anyhow as I have tons of work lined up anyhow for this year.

[barrowj]

I would love to make this trip, it's only 5 hrs away. What hotel will you be using or recommend so I can get my budget put together? Once I get everything I need to make a decision I can put in for Vacation time from my day job....

Joe

[cabnet636]

I will post some hotel info today.
double the number of first day registrations from last year with a pending release this is going to be a big one.
some emails of registrations sent from website addresses go to my junk folder, I do check it. all will get an email confirm for both registration and payment within a day so if you do not contact me

[Ajcoholic]

I cancelled my home show booths Jim. I'll send in my reg tonight or tomorrow after work.

Save me a seat!! :)

[cabnet636]

Register !!

[Ajcoholic]

Register !!

I will :)

I paypal'd my fee tonight, will fax the paper to you tomorrow.

Im going to try and get a room at the springhill suites if anyone cares - it was a really nice place to stay last year.

[cabnet636]

Just got it !!

[Mark Owen]

I am booked, payed and confirmed.
Andrew, I don't suppose you ride a motorcycle? I am planning on riding down on the Wednesday from Toronto. Last year I had to cancel at the last minute but as it happens both of my flights got cancelled going and coming home. I have spent my fair share sitting in airports waiting for a flight. It is less hassle for me to ride down.

Regards
Mark

[Ajcoholic]

I do not - plus its an 8 hr drive to Toronto from here... :)

Springhill is all booked up. Looking elsewhere...

[JimmyD]

Thanks,
Jim

[cabnet636]

Got it, look forward to meeting you, Brady Watson and Mike Mezalik have signed on for a Presentation !

[Brady Watson]

You bet Jim - I'm looking forward to getting together with everyone as well. It'll be great to hang out with the usual suspects + to make new friends and compare notes.

See you all there!!! ;)

[cabnet636]

Is incorrect on bottom of registration form the correct number is

803 933 9938

I have responded to some about registering late, I have another 10-15 who are way to maybe I'll come. if I respond then I get it. but the camp is filling fast and I cannot over fill this year. Registration is required and we are somewhere over 1/2 already.

I will count better tonight

[Ajcoholic]

Jim did you get my faxed registration? You did sent me confirmation that you got my paypal.

[cabnet636]

Yes I did look forward to seeing you again !

[cabnet636]

this camp will fill up !!. at this point anyone who has sent a paypal and registration should have received a confirming Email from me.

anyone who has mailed a check and a registration should see their check clear their bank, if you send a registration without a check and there are some please check to make sure you have included the check.

Thursdays agenda is Shaping up, after lunch Brady Watson, Mike Mezalik and Ryan Patterson will be speakers Friday and Saturday are all scheduled by James Booth and With the New release coming soon I am sure there is plenty for all to absorb !!

If you are still considering registering please do so, we are well over 1/2 booked at this point

I am SO looking forward to this event. I need it not only to learn more about Aspire, and to see some of you guys in person again - but work has not let up one bit and in another two months i'm going to need a few days off or Ill burn out.

I hope it will be T shirt and shorts weather in Columbia.. :) Or at least if I can leave my long underwear at home.. lol

[cabnet636]

We try to plan it so it will not be too hot or cold !
