I have nothing against people chartering a bus for the 2017 event. I think it would be a great way to go up and back. I just don't think SLAS should be put at financial risk for it. I also don't think SLAS should pay for the bus. If Joe feels he can fill up the bus then let him reserve the bus and sell the tickets. Joe can certainly use the SLAS stage to help promote the event. He can collect the money and sell the tickets. If there are unsold tickets, it's his risk. I also would have no problem of having SLAS making the charter if he were to be the guarantor against SLAS taking a loss. It's a long way off right now. Chartering a bus now wouldn't make any sense to me. People will come and go, people will change their minds as health and resources change. 2016 might be the time to start this conversation again.

Shoot. Guess I'll take my popcorn and go watch wrestling on TV instead. ;-)

EVERYBODY PLEASE NOTE: I have had a complaint from a very sensitive
person
about these discussions. I pledged to that person not to get into any further public wrangles along these lines until 2015. I intend to keep my promise. Thanks, Joe
