That's what I thought about the notice. I'm like you. If I try to plan too far ahead there's more chance of something interfering. A survey is a good idea. Also perhaps making it more of an open house type of thing where people could come for whatever days they could make it. Here again, I am rather informal about such things. Having sort of homesteaded (well lived out in the boonies and always working on houses that never got done) with 6 children and a wacko husband, I have learned to be very adaptive and flexible.

Subject: Re: [papercreters] Re: The Upcoming Gathering
More than one has mentioned the short notice. This was announced in mid July, over sixty days before the gathering. How much time do you think would be needed to plan? Since it has been hinted that #2 might happen at my place in west Texas, I would definitely want to give people enough time to think and plan ahead.
For myself, I don't have any plans for tomorrow (other than slinging slurry), much less for November, so sixty days was plenty of time for me! I am in the fortunate position of being able to set my own schedule for the most part. Early week would not be a problem here, but I think most folks have a lot more freedom on weekends. A survey might be in order : )

Unfortunately, I'm another one of those who can't make it. For a couple of reasons. First cuz of what he said, not enough advance notice. But second, because the business I'm in, 80% of my profits are made on Thursday-Saturday (I'm a taxi driver in a college=party town).
So. Two things. More notice PLEASE! I'd love to attend one of these. And can one be planned for early-week?
On the upside, I just looked at the map. Your location looks like it's VERY close to where my brother lives (& I've wanted to visit him for a while). He works & lives in Los Alamos.
