I for one am glad that this event was posted as early as possible. There are many people that have work and travel plans that need time to work out. We have several people from other countries that are planning on attending and this also gives them the opportunity to plan and respond. Also I see that the event page was set up to give an ongoing update to the events and plans as they are being constructed. They are working with travel agencies to try to get reduced rates and, local business, and even out of state business and people involved in the preparations for this. Why all the whining, should we judge you by your actions and deeds or just by what you say.
Wouldn't it be better to offer assistance in getting the word out to your local community or is it better to whimper that I will have to look at this for several months.
As cachers cant we all work together or should we all just throw stones at other communities because we feels ours is better.
If you can't do that then maybe you should just do what was taught may years ago.. If you can't say something nice don't say anything.!!
