Awesome job, Ryan, and on short notice when You stepped up to organize this meet. Well done, sir!
I am really happy to read that folks have funded the venue. Thanks to all.
I am sure everybody who attended the meet appreciates your effort. Nobody expected a change in leadership, but that's what it may be...although I hope and pray that we cross paths with
@Theogenes
again. After all, Burnley organized the first NV meets and he's one of my headphone heros for that work.
Great accounting of the expenses. Seems reasonable, and less expensive, as you wrote, compared to hotels unless we go out a ways from Nashville. As a group, we can not allow the organizer to bear the costs - need to find a better way. Maybe that's why Burnley got out, I don't know. However, we should re-group IMO and decide how we are gonna make these meets happen in the future. Crowd funding only goes so far - we should have a more stable plan.
Maybe we could reach out to the organizers of the Canlanta or other bigger meets related to how they fund their events. I am willing to do that, if you want me to.
I am willing to support the effort and help to try to grow our meets.
