    Who plans on attending (POLL)

    Please indicate if you plan on attending.

    I realize so many details are up in the air that there is no way anyone can 100% commit at this time, but I need rough numbers to scout out locations.

    Please indicate YES if there is a 75% chance you would be able to:

    1. Fly somewhere, in August 2010 , for 2-3 nights
    2. Pay your airfare, hotel, and meals
    3. Pay a nominal conference registration fee IN ADVANCE of $100 (estimated)
    4. Participate in the most exciting person to person gathering of speed bag enthusiasts ever
    29
    YES - I will be there with 75% certainty
    48.28%
    14
    NO - I wish I could, but I know for a fact I will not be able to attend
    31.03%
    9
    NO - I do not plan on attending at this time, but I will try !!!!!
    20.69%

    It is tough to say for sure Tim. I would really like to be there. If you guys do Vegas, I could probably con some friends in to going and I could kill two birds with one stone....three if you make it the weekend of a UFC Fight in Vegas.

      UFC - that might be a possibility, the only potential problem is those dates don't seem to firm up until about 2-3 months prior.... we'll likely have to lock in a location and date/time sooner than that.

      That would be reall cool though.

        Yeah i'd probably bring a friend as well, I might worry about the UFC fight tho...although it may be cool, if certain events are happening in any given area that will drive prices up, airfare, hotel and car rentals they can all skyrocket, ...(only good thing is Vegas MIGHT be an exception to this rule, being that theres always stuff goin on)

          Ok, guys - we've got 11 people who are 75% sure they will attend ...

          is this it ???

          If you haven't taken the poll above, please do. If you have offline friends that might attend, please reach out to them. I know we may get a slight bump once the plans become concrete, but that process will be much easier if we have a realistic view of how many are attending ...

            As much as I'd like to , it's just not feasable. Three transcontinental trips involving family matters in the last year have left me in a world of hurt financially speaking.

              Sorry to hear that Dutchman. It would have been great to meet you. Your presence and knowledge of the speed bag will be greatly missed.

                  Completely understand. There will be more opportunities in the future, rest assured.

                    Please provide details of locale ASAP. I will surely attend, and not alone.

                      Still working on that Mike. I haven't talked with Tim in awhile, but hopefully by year's end???

                      Up to 13 who are 75% sure, slowly creeping up.

                          I definitely want to have a location and dates finalized by 1/1/2010. Still targeting August 2010, and Las Vegas or Orlando as possible locations.

                              I'm a maybe. I can fly to Vegas very cheaply. Check out www.allegiantair.com If you live close to an airport that Allegiant flies out of, you can't beat their prices.

                              It all depends on what I've got going on during the weekend you end up nailing down. I'll be watching, but don't think I'll attend more than 2 days. I've got a lot coming up next year that will require a lot of traveling, so I just can't say at this time, but if it's possible, I'll be there.
