Tiff, Ken and I have talked about pre show activities for years. We were going to do lots of things in Chicago, until the Corvette "take over" of the hotel messed things up. You were involved in the very early planning for the pre show events in Chicago. Ken specifically has stated that he does not have the time to deal with anything before or after the show. And Ken is absolutely right. He is so busy at the shows, he almost does not sleep for 3 days. He also does not need the added burden of trying to coordinate constant additions and updates to his website. Hence, www.DCS09Prelude.com, and the associated blog and the "self" organized get togethers are being kept separate. We could not do a pre show thing for Gettysburg, because we don't live there and don't know the area. However, LV is a favorite spot for us with lots of friends and things to do and we don't gamble. So we are trying to make LV a great show with much more time for socializing. If we really want to build a better relationship with the west coast D owners, this is perfect way to provide more socialization time. We welcome any additions or comments people want to make to the site or volunteers to coordinate a "pre" event. Are you volunteering?
