7 workdays lost for summer nationals? That could be a problem for some. I know its warmer in Charlotte than Denver and the NE but its not a warm site by any stretch. Go to the well until the well is dry. When the well is dry find a new well.

Indeed. I just got my time off approved for Miami, and that's only taking 4 days off. Also, note that Summer Nationals will not include Div I, as the Division I Championships will be at the April NAC. I wonder what they'll do with the extra timeslots.

Does this mean that we are short one Div I NAC, as the April event will the championships only, or did I misread the schedule?

Perhaps we will finish before 10pm some nights  Go to the well until the well is dry. When the well is dry find a new well.

It's a thought. Will be interesting to have an event where Junior is the "highest" level.
I don't remember what time we were released at Atlanta the night we went to see Dead Man's Chest, but given it was a 10pm showing, it can't have been too late.  I recall the show time more in connection with the fact we got out at 1am, of course.

I seem to remember that most of the group had been done for long enough to get changed and eat a bite in that food court. And getting there took an hour or so...

sigh. it seems the Northeast is neglected again.

No, it and its cost of venues was probably paid very close attention to.

Wow, 2007-2008 Schedule Is Out! Someone is doing some serious work at USFA. The 2007-2008 schedule is out already! Not all locations are there but the year schedule is already done! I'm impressed! Someone needs a raise over there.

At least one of the events (Richmond, in December) was bid as a two year engagement last year, enabling it to be scheduled in advance. The sooner you can make an offer to a hotel/convention center, the better the price break will often be.

Oh, come now, there must be a venue built on a toxic landfill in New Jersey somewhere that would be reasonably priced.  Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

And what are the odds that the venue hotels are already "sold out" according to THS? Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
