easy there..... read your PM

[Suzy]

Who has dropped out? I'm so sad to hear this-I was really looking forward to meeting everyone!

I Really Hope More Sign Up.. I will be so sad if everyone backs out

We need more YTERS to sign up... and Come..

Jakub and I were supposed to share a room with Missy... but since she may be having puppies around that time she won't be going...

My room is reserved.. and it'll be Jakub, Myself, Kayah and Evie..

If you like, we can share a room.... as long as you don't mind being with "youngons"

PM me if interested

I would really like a lot of people to come that I know can't...

But maybe we can extend the invit to other yorkie lovers??
Maybe then we can persuade them to join YT???

I think we could also be posting more threads about it, or mentioning it to newer members. A lot of people have joined since we had the signup, and there are so many YT members, I'm sure there are many that have no idea about the meetup!

that's a great idea! but how should we post a new thread without sounding demaing or pushy??

I PMed quite a few people.. they responded once or twice.. but no response since (maybe it's just me)

I've tried to post other threads & even a poll - so many people just come on & say they aren't going. I'm tired of hearing the negative comments about it being in KC - some people really seem to be negative about that. But I know (from reading really old threads) that yrs ago, when a meetup was first being discussed, a midwest location won out because it was more central for those who had to travel.

I don't know if it's just the price of gas & everything else, including airline tix prices or that people don't like to drive long distances. I know I heard the other day that the price of a gallon of gas has gone up by $1.50 in the last 18 mths

I'm so excited to meet everyone! But I had envisioned a bigger turnout.

Hope you all don't mind, but I did start a new thread about the meetup - I think so many people skip over the stickies

Here's the thread I started http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...line-near.html

I know, they are expecting gas to be $4/gallon or higher by the summer. But myself, Michele (MyFairLacy) and Gayla (Layla's Mom) are driving there. We may spend half our money on gas, but we will be there.

It just dropped by 10-cents here over the weekend. Maybe the gov't will do the tax free holiday that is being batted around for the summer mths or a particular week.

I just drove to & from Nashville (20 hrs total in the car) - seems gas was more expensive the farther south I got - $3.59 in Nashville, but it's $3.33 here - we have one of the lowest prices in the country for some reason. Hopefully, you all can find decent prices - plus splitting it 3 ways should help for you all.

Can't you talk Vicki into coming?? I would love to meet her!

I'm glad you made a new thread. Now if we all just keep bumping it up, more people will notice. I think sometimes people won't read the threads that have seventy-some pages. I guess you can tell we have all been very excited for a long time with that many posts!

It'll definitely help splitting the cost between three people

I wish She and her family will be in Cancun the week before though and with all she's gone through with Bleu Boy, she just can't do it.

yes, I think the long threads can be intimidating -- I even feel that way if i've been off YT for a few days -- but I hate to admit the hrs I've spent reading some other really long ones

Hope someone bumps the thread up tonight, because I know it has gotten buried past page 1 in the general section today.

Maybe some of us should be telling newbies about it when we welcome them to YT -- I know I have told a couple people who live in the Midwest
