Okay... very VERY preliminary plans here... as it's only the first day after I made the announcement. As of right now, we're looking at a weekday in the last two weeks of July. I'm open to suggestions on exact days, but it will be some time either July 21-25 or July 28-August 1.
Now, some other things: do we want to try and set this up as an actual group event, or just have everybody show up and meet somewhere at a specific time? If we book it as a group, the tickets are $31 apiece, as opposed to $43.95 for a standard one-day admission. In order to do this, though, I would need firm numbers at least a month in advance. Payment would also be an issue. The question is, how many people would be going, and is it worth the time and aggravation to try and book a group?
One caveat, though: I'll organize this if it just involves setting a date and meeting place. I won't handle money, though. First off, I'm only 17. Second, I've been left holding the bag too many times when people haven't paid me for trivial things like t-shirts. I'm not going to try to collect $31 from people I've never met that live 500+ miles away. It's too much.
An interesting side note, though... walk up groups of 15 or more can get a slightly discounted $36 rate. This may be the way to go. What do you think?
