I hear you, but why make your guests have to search the dates out. The easier you make it on them to spend money the more money they will spend.Cliff#11;30706 wrote: It's not very hard to figure out the dates.. VIR has NESBA dates on their calendar already. I'm sure the rest of the tracks that have the 09' dates up will list them as well.
They also have more changes to their schedules than NESBA has. NESBA waits to make sure their dates are set in stone, so as to avoid the bit@#ing and complaining later of cancelled or changed dates to their schedule. I mean, really... people can't wait that extra couple weeks? I made ALL the dates I wanted to hit last year, and the furthest ahead of time that I actually signed up was maybe 3 weeks... MAYBE.dickiedoo;30705 wrote: Hey NESBA,
Also, get the freaking schedule up around the same time as your competition. They beat you to the punch this year, and I'm sure people have already dropped a ton of coin in their pockets rather than yours. I know I have.
Just a thought...

So, what's NESBA to do??? Put up a tentative schedule EARLY to avoid the now 6 threads on "Whens the 2009 schedule coming out???" or wait the extra couple weeks to put out the most accurate calendar possible?
Good on ya, NESBA... I can be patient.

Be patient ladies & gents for just a little bit longer, as hard as it is for me to say that, I too am getting Carpal Tunnel syndrom in my left hand from playing Guitar Hero World Tour and GH3 Legends of Rock.
I check the "Track Dates" schedule at least 10 times a day. It's worse than in 1996-1997 when I was in Korea checking my mailbox at 3am hoping for some stupid reason that a letter from home arrived after my midnight mail box check.
"Track Dates" is now blank, which means Mr. Blandford is behind his keyboard in PA formatting it up for relaease to us. It's just a matter of moments now.
Keep up the good work. I have been so spoiled by the great people in the NESBA Mid-Central region that I don't consider anyone other than NESBA. If I get desperate in the summer I might consider others, but not for planning.Dutch;30748 wrote: So we chose the one that causes us the least amount of headaches.
