(x-post) Yeah, I should be able to make it too. This would be my first NASSM.

Elff - although Kappa-less, you could go too!

Bringing this to the top:

Quote from: Druid-2 (on Solsticeforum);1271522

The demographics for Kappa ownership is not evenly split at the Mississippi river.

There are clusters at most major cities

Without starting a firestorm......the larger urban areas are on the west Coast...the Eastern Seaboard
and the Great Lakes. Surprisingly the eastern Gulf states do not appear to have a large contingent.

When I took upon the quest for 2019 I wanted to make sure we included the Canadians too.
I looked at Lake George first, but it is overwhelming crowded and expensive in the summer.

Corning/Binghamton had a lot to offer.

Demographically speaking most KO's (Kappa owners) will drive one long day to get the a National Event.
Based on that we concluded that Eastern Canada (Ont Quebec and the Maritimes ) would be well represented,
as would New England. In spite of MM we also believed we would attract people from the Carolinas, VA, MD, PA, OHIO
Mich. NY NJ KY etc,. Based on that we had to choose a hotel that would support 150 KO's and btw the reason we moved
the date up a week is because a glaziers convention had already booked our week ahead of us in FEB 2018 !!! for June 2019

People who whine that Wisc. or the UP would be great fail to realize 2 things 1) finding hotels and convention centers
able to handle 150 cars is difficult at best...2) summer vacation travel raises costs and huge traffic jams create
KO route headaches. Hotels in vacation spots jack up prices exponentially and we needed to keep the nightly rate BELOW $150.00

I've heard people say ...what about Idaho, Montana Santa Fe or Vermont. Well the big thing is...the roads may be great but
who are the local KO's to organize it.....Right...there aren't any

Before you go criticizing the location ask yourself this.....Have I ever volunteered as an organizer? What support have I personally given to a NASSAM? It takes a HUGE amount of work to make this a success. Fully 75% of our Operating Committee are people
who have already run a NASSAM.....yes ...seasoned veterans who know what it takes and what you have to give. It is hard to recruit new talent. People love to attend, but few will step up.

Be happy there is a 2019 and a 2020....let's see who steps up for 2021 !!!

Little Sal?

We're still working on rebuilding his Solstice GXP! He's got a few medical issues he's working out but he should be good for the National Meet.
Hows your son doing? I hope everything is good with you and your family.

Miss that Canadian Bacon!!!

I know, that dude loves Finger Food
O wait, Lakes..... Ummm Nevermind.

BigSal,
What's up with not so bigSal?
Shoot me an email or give me a call if you need.

I'm thinking a 4C needs to crash this NY party. I'll just disguise everything but the Borg Warner K04 and sneak in that way.

Thread Resurrection.....!!!

S P E C I A L .... A N N O U N C E M E N T **************

of the 130 rooms we have allocated to us....111/130 are already booked

leaving only 19 rooms left before you will have to book at another (farther away) site

DO NOT DELAY....CARPE DIEM !!!

you have been advised/warned 6 months in advance

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE

THE RADISSON IS SOLD OUT 6 MONTHS IN ADVANCE

I have cajoled the hotel to move 7 rooms to "open status"
(OC members were upgraded to make this happen)

Once these 7 are gone you will be referred to another local hotel. We will (hopefully)
have another 40 rooms made avbl within a 5 mile radius at these locations. We do NOT know which hotels
these will be until the C of C advises the Radisson .

Granted some rooms have been reserved "on spec" by people who won't register till Spring...and
some may even cancel. You may wish to be put on a stand-by list, but there is NO GUARANTEE that
Radisson rooms will be come avbl.

this has been a publicc service announcement brought to you by your NASSAM2019 OPERATING COMMITTEE!!
