Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 10, 2005 Author Posted February 10, 2005 OK...how about we tentatively set the date for Friday, June 24th through Sunday, June 26th then in Kalispell, Mt? I think this is going to be a small gathering, which is OK by me, and I realize that travelling can be expensive..which is unfortunate. Making reservations as early as possible saves you the most, and once you're here, the costs will be minimal. Shared food expenses, Park and entertainment costs...not much really. Consider it a mini-vacation to somewhere different than most would go! If you like beautiful scenery and the outdoors, you'd like this area. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Shorin Ryuu Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 So we're talking what, get there the 23rd/early the 24th and leave the 26th/27th? Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
isshinryu5toforever Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 That's fairly soon before 4th of July. A lot of people make plans around that time or year. They have to travel for family reasons, etc. What if we went sometime in mid July or Early August? It's between 4th of July and Labor Day. Instead of going right before a major grill out, camp out, shoot of dangerous exploding stuff holiday. He who knows others is wise.

Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 10, 2005 Author Posted February 10, 2005 This is going to be a problem I think...schedules. The only firm commitment I really have for anybody planning on coming is from Shorin Ryuu. I have several "maybes" from a couple of others. Any date we set for this is not going to meet approval from everybody that wants to come. Late June isn't the best time if you want to see Glacier Park while you're here, as it all depends on when they get the Going to the Sun road open. Just to give you some idea, the road is typically covered by 30-40 FEET of snow during the winter, and as you can imagine, it takes time to plow that out and make the road safe for visitors to travel on. *making your nervous yet Shorin Ryuu?* last year, a rock the size of a volkswagon landed on a roof of a SUV. No injuries as it landed on the back part and the driver and passenger were in the front of course. Personally, I woudl prefer we have the gathering later on during the summer also..like in July or August, but it's all going to depend on who can come, and when works out best for them. Make sense? Any date is fine for me. You Southern, warm climate boys might enjoy Montana in January , but then again, outside practices aren't a good idea then. OK...let's do it this way...out of all of you out there that are seriously considering coming up here for this...send me some dates that work best for you. Some flexability is good if possible, but some people...like Shorin Ryuu..are limited as to what dates they can attend. The sooner we can set a definite date, the sooner people can start making plans and getting reservations on planes, trains or driving. For those of you that would like to come, but can't for whatever reason...maybe you might want to start another thread for the UK...East coast..whereever and start making your own plans.

isshinryu5toforever Posted February 10, 2005 Posted February 10, 2005 If it's after the 4th of July and before the second week of August (cousin's wedding, then school), then I can almost guarantee my going. If it's before then, work and other commitments are piled up. He who knows others is wise.

Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 11, 2005 Author Posted February 11, 2005 If it's after the 4th of July and before the second week of August (cousin's wedding, then school), then I can almost guarantee my going. If it's before then, work and other commitments are piled up. OK..gotcha down. So..1 for late June, another for mid-July-early August. Shorin Ryuu...any chance of mid-July-August?

Shorin Ryuu Posted February 12, 2005 Posted February 12, 2005 Probably not, because I have a trip at the end of August I have to make room for. If it comes down to it, go with a date that makes others happy, since I'm not even sure if I can make this one yet... Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
Shorinryu Sensei Posted February 12, 2005 Author Posted February 12, 2005 OK...how about we tentatively set the date for Friday, June 24th through Sunday, June 26th then in Kalispell, Mt? I just got off the phone with Shorin Ryuu, and have decide that we need to set a definite date for this gathering of friends. 6/24-6/26 are the dates that work out the best for him, so I am setting those dates in stone (maybe sandstone..but stone for sure!). So, all those that are interested in "the gathering"...this is when I'll be hosting it up here in Montana. If there's any information that you need to help in your journey to get here, let me know. You can come up a day or two earlier, and leave a day or two later if you'd like to, as my schedule is flexible. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
