Subject: RCR-X Current Lodging Status -- beds to fill From: Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2001 10:26:24 -0400 Enjoy the convenience of a cabin tent! Leave your tent and bedding at home, but experience the outdoorsy feeling of sleeping in a tent! Here's the current situation: there are eight cabin tents still available. All of them have been paid for by me. This was because based on the Call for Interest, it looked like we'd need all the space, and to secure it with ACE I had to commit to it. Never having done an event like this before, I've been relatively surprised about the difference between the number of respondents to the Call for Interest versus the Call for Checks. Perhaps this is typical. I, however, sincerely expected the registrations to go up as word got out more. Instead, I've actually had fewer people confirm than who told me that they were coming. Even two postings to rec.motorcycles and rec.motorcycles.harley were met with defeaning silence -- I don't seem to have a single respondent from those postings. With the event less than two weeks away, right now it sure looks like I am going to end up eating the cost of a few cabin tents. Ah well, that was my hazard for being so insanely busy this past year and getting the call for checks out a lot later than it should have been. I can accept that. It sure would be nice if some of you campers wanted to move into a cabin tent, though, and if some of you folks who responded to the Call for Interest and have neither confirmed your attendence nor told me you won't be able to make it could let me know what your status is. (I think I'll move in to a cabin tent myself now.)
