Re: Grandfather Mountain 2015
John, I complained about their posting a 12:00 time, was that AM or PM? They needed to go 12:01 AM to be clearer, but you're right. The servers never worked at those times. Hope this is better. I registered for last year, but bailed out at the last minute. No refund, so I imagine there wasn't much of a waiting list. Is the program anything special this year? Who is planning on attending?

Re: Grandfather Mountain 2015
I will probably go again this year. Last year I did register on 1 April, but sometime later in the day IIRC.

Re: Grandfather Mountain 2015
Like I said, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who suggested they could do better. I'm planning to attend IF I don't forget to register on time (done that before). But I live in Raleigh, NC, so it's not a big journey for me, plus there's always a big contingent from the Carolinas' Nature Photography Association that I belong to. Here's the program: http://www.grandfather.com/events/nature-photography-weekend-2/ The only one I'm familiar with is Vinnie.
