Dear Lorelei,
We got our wires crossed. I was referring to camping for accommodation, not
for the full convention. Under no circumstances do I think the IOLI
convention should be held out doors. Too much could go wrong. Fine for
some for accomodation, not fine for any other aspect of IOLI. While I
highly doubt that the very few who would camp would affect the break even
point of the convention, roomwise, it might enable some to actually attend,
because the cost would make the thing more doable. I mention it as an
alternative, not as the main method of accommodation. I am presently
planning on camping near the Maryland Sheep and Wool because I am taking a
class on Friday, the day before the main event, making a 3 hour trip each
way impossible. It's the first weekend in May, putting it in Camping
Season, and so I have reservations in a state park where evidently a number
of other attendees will be. On the other hand, I cannot convince anyone
else I know, with the possible exception of DD to join me. And as far as I
know I do not snore. Go figure. lrb

disaster of major proportions. It is not physical discomfort to the person
at issue. It is destruction to one's equipment caused by wind which is the
worst.
