Hmmmmm

Y'know, it's just crazy enough to work.

Any travel agents among the rabble?

I get it!

Still, time for a southwest Kilt Kamp, eh?

My problem with a cruise is that it's way too expensive for a single. With a single hotel room, you can still budget your meals to save money, but that everything-included-except-gratuities cruise price would likely be a deal-breaker for me. <longs, only for a moment, for the old days as an airline employee>

Albuquerque you say??? Lovely place, used to live there many moons ago... I think I would sign up if it were there.

Barb,

With respect, a suggestion from you is much more than a suggestion!

I think that instead of trying to hold it in the center of populations we should find the place with the least population. Then everyone who attends is on equal footing.
I vote for Nunivit.

Seriously guys. Nothing has been set, nothing even discussed.
There can't always be an annual Kilt Kamp unless we get more teachers and more students. The two Kamps we have held have had only Barb and I teaching. (And I was there only to round out the bill because most students were interested in Barb's 5 day course, not my two day one.)

If we want to make this a truly attractive annual convention thing we need to start thinking of getting Matt teaching a 2 or 3 day course on Box Pleats and Older styles, Me with about 10 sewing machines teaching Contemporary Style and Barb with 10-15 students teaching Hand-Sewns.
Then perhaps get Rocky involved, bring Way2Fractious back, get AlanH involved, and even bring down Robert Pel to talk about leather kilts.

This would mean at least 30-35 students signed up, paid for, and ready to travel.

As great as I think that would be I don't actually see it happening soon.

So, let's not get too excited or worked up over a location for a Kilt Kamp that hasn't even been talked about yet.

Well if that's the case, how about Bozeman, Montana?
