Hey all, I am in agreement about the $ thing, but at some point the verbal bashing does become a little over zealous so I'd appreciate seeing it less. We all know that that's just the way things are around here and we've just got to live with it.
In any case, I'm looking forward to coming out! Big thanks to everyone who is helping put this thing on!!!

I agree CEGers are notorious for being "all-for" something until it comes time to pay for it.
What I don't agree with is thinking it is so inexpensive to attend. It may be if you live in the Detroit area, but if you're coming from, say, Nebraska, it may end up costing $200 in gas to get there. 200 + 80 + 50 (hotel) + 50 (food) + $50 (misc.) = $430. That is if you have absolutely no problems (i.e. flat tire, etc.). 430/10 = 43 weeks you have to save $10 a week for. Most people don't save like that, so some may not be able to swing it. And I think Stazi (or whoever said it) is right in saying the demographics of CEG have shifted to the younger crowd. The high schoolers will have a hell of a time coming up with over $400 for a trip.
I should be coming to SZ. It will in no way be cheap. I'm hoping it's worth the time and money.

Mark, I think you've done an excellent job at coordinating this event. Don't let anyone's complaining get to you...Just look at the event that's going to take place as a result of all your hard work! I'm not even going to be able to make it to SZ. I know i've been wanting to go back ever since I left SZ02...but the combination of alot of things is going to stop me it seems. I have a "mystery" cel, bad wheel bearing, and still too many things to redo from my accident to make the car presentable to the rest of the CEG. That and the lack of communication in the northeast branch. I have noone to split a room with, and frankly, I can't afford to get my own room. Especially if I were to have to pay a mechanic to fix whatevers wrong with my car.  Hopefully this won't be my last chance to see some of the great people and friends I met 2 years ago... Everybody have fun, be safe, and take pictures!!! Lots!!! Oh yeah...and pH34r the JUG!!!

Thanks a lot Mark!  As far as not attending.....there is no excuse....$80 is nothing....and as far as the hotel....people crashed with other people ever since the 1st one. Jeez, I have driven to Michigan for just 1 day regular meets. So driving for a 4 day event in nothing.....and the memories will stay with you, that is why I wouldn't miss this one for the world!
