Summit 2008
Okay, the natives are getting restless, (so I have been told through a direct mind link), so I guess now is just as good a time as any to give the low-down on the upcoming summit so people can make early travel arrangements.
The summit will take place on May 30th, 31st, and June 1st.
Our two headliners are Steve Cotter (also the featured blogger for March), and Alan Aragon, notorious dirty culker from the nutrition forum.
I will fill you in on the details as I know them. Web site will be up soon. Don't have a price yet, but it will be similar to past summits.
Only 50 seats will be sold this year.
I already have the hotel next door booked, so transportation will not present the problems it did last year.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Will there be priority to those that are returning but that can't afford a summit payment at the moment?

If you didn't go to the summit this year Russ, I'd have to fly to Canada and slap you.

Ooo, I hope I get one of the at-large (as opposed to automatic) bids
Of course, then the questions pop up: Car or Harley (need Nashville-ish crash space for the latter)? Anyone along the way need/want a ride (no Harley then)? Would I be a subject of newbie hazing and forced to room with Nick?

So the fact that 3 months out he mentioned that he had something planned and I needed to take the weekend off work means something ...

I'm in negotiations with my managers at work. Looking 70/30 against at the mo.
If they'll allow me the time off, or if I leave in the meantime I’ll be there 100%. Money saved and ready to go.

If I can get a cheap flight to the summit I should be in. How much is the summit going to cost/hotel cost?
