Cool. Looks like I might actually be able to make this one, plus Gordon has been talking about going to visit some friends in that area. It'll be nice to get to meet all the new people and reconnect with some old buddies.

It would be wonderful to see you again. It's been way toooooo long. Bet a lot of other people think so too...

I always TRY, but it's always too damn hot in July. Folks always say it's because school's out that the convention is not in Spring or Fall. That argument don't wash... ya either bring the curtain climbers or leave 'em with a 'sitter, no?

Nope, that's perzackly what it is (too hot) in Austin in July ( and May, June, August, September, and sometimes October). But most ANYwhere is nice in Spring or Fall. Otherwise we'd all live in SandyEggo and be bored with the weather. Y'all are makin' my point... Cool

Western NC is nice almost year round Wink

You do get the occasional dusting of snow (somehow they think the 10" they got on CHristmas Day this year was a huge storm...and every now and then July gets into the upper 80's and lower 90's, but mostly that happens in June - or it has for the 3 June's I've spent here hehe)

Of course, the outside temp. doesn't matter much to me, it's the inside I'm interested in, with all the clusterfamily and the speakers Wink

This is shaping up to be one incredibly AWESOME convention!!

Cat,

I love Asheville NC. Good hotels, great places to eat, and lot of gloriously beautiful places to visit (Biltmore being first to mind, and the Blue Ridge Parkway).

Asheville would be a great place to host our convention. It's not a major hub airport but it does have good connections from just about everywhere.

How about, darling Cat, we start thinking about 2012 or 2013 in Asheville? Would you consider beginning to pull together some ideas for us. I volunteer to help you with it.

As soon as Louise can get this convention squared away, she is going to be contact the CVBs in several cities (I do believe ashville in one) to see what we can come up with.

When we meet in Nashville this coming July, we should have some information to present to the members and get everyone's input. Possibilites are~Chicago, Las Vegas and Ashville. If anyone has any suggestions, we'd love to get your input.

Jerry, Sandy, I'd be happy to look into a few locations to see if there is anything we can pull together.

There are several hotels right by the airport that I'm sure we can get them to look at giving us a very good package. I will get to work with the ladies from the 14th Weather squadron here as well to see what kind of a deal could be put together for a group rate to Biltmore Estates - it can be quite expensive going by ones and twos, but they are usually VERY open to group rates and setting up tours and special programs for groups.

I'll look into it and see what info I can get to you, then you can take it to the board and let me know if you want to have it here, and I will DEFINITELY take you up on the offer to help Sandy hehe. I did the 2003 convention, they are a helluva lot of work, and I will be glad to take any and all offers of help if you decide Asheville is where to go :)

It is breathtaking and beautiful here, the scenery itself is simply gorgeous.

Here's some photos from a few of our outings to see the scenery:

This photo was taken looking out the front window of the van as we were driving on the Elk Mountain / Ox Creek scenic highway, about 5 min. away from my house.

And if you check out the photos, you'll see that my yard is rather large, nearly 2 acres, so I'm sure if the convention ends up in Asheville, I can make arrangements to enjoy a lovely campfire beside the pond :) I'm thinkin a few guitars and several CH voices would be a rather enjoyable time beside the campfire!

Of course, if we land at the Asheville airport we'll be landing in my wife's Grandfather's pasture, but we won't charge extra for it. Asheville is a beautiful area. If you can get a good rate to the Biltmore you are doing something. They don't like to cut prices very much. Worth trying though. Jerry

Yup, been quite a while since I've hung around CH.com. Actually went PF for almost 3 years and had thoughts I might be finally done, but last autumn started in on a cycle. That one lasted a couple of months and then I was good until a couple of weeks ago when another cycle started.

This time O2 barely knocks them down a notch or two Kip so and I decided to poke around to see if anything was new.

Wish I could say I'm glad to be back, but you know how that goes. Good to see some old friends still posting away, though.

Bruce, 02 started failing me last cycle, first time ever for me. On Batch's advice, I started a regimen to alter my arterial PH, pretty simple:

Magnesium, Calcium Citrate with Vitamin D and zinc, washed down with fresh lemonade, up to 4X a day. I never went past 3X a day. In less then 36 hours 02 was kicking butt again.

Cheap, maybe worth a try.
