Kingkop is coming from the UK, and Galya's coming all the way from Bulgaria!

Plan a longer trip with this as a separate excursion. This is a VERY fun group.

Missed the last one and caught the T-Nation review. Hoping to swipe one of the tickets.

Wife just gave me the "green light", so if there is a spot left and work agrees. I'm in!

I flew from Manchester (via London and Houston) last year, Tom. I certainly recommend it if you can make it

Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there this year. The dates just don't work for me this time. My daughter and her boyfriend will be visiting us for a week during that time. I'll miss you guys!

It was great fun last year and I encourage everyone who can to make it! What a great line-up this year! Steve Cotter and Alan Aragon are both awesome! I hate that I'll miss them!

JP, any chance you'll get the 2007 Summit DVDs ready soon? (I need to relive last year. )

Is there some secret handshake I must learn to register for this event? I am highly likely to show up if allowed in the secret club.

You have been in the club all along, dear lady, and didn't know it.

There is no secret handshake. Membership recognition consists of watching how well you ignore Nick.

Take a peek here for a good review of last year's event.

Here's another good review.

But they really only cover the fitness stuff. Nights are free for social shenanigans.

Is Lou coming again? I'm sure there are a number of NROL4W fans that wouldn't mind picking his brain for a little while.

JP typically sets up a separate web page with registration info, speaker bios, etc.

You might want to post this in the NROL4W sub forum so that everyone sees it.

I understand that's still a few weeks away from happening. This thread is just intended as an initial heads up so people can be committing to the time and making necessary advance travel arrangements.

For those that argue this should take place in a bigger city, consider how much cheaper the weekend is with such a great deal on the hotel plus not needing to rent a car. Any other venue would jack the price up considerably.

I agree, Erika. $59 is an amazing price. And the downtown location is really convenient.

Is that rate for the days the Summit is actually running, or is it for the whole stay? Like if I arrived the Thursday before and left the Wednesday after?

If you reserve your room under the JP Fitness event you should be able to get that rate the entire time.

I was only kidding about LR - I think it will be a great forum for the event.
