raffaellasworldHere is the second draft- this is still a work in progress. Please let me know what you think. I'm waiting to hear back on finalizing the name, so in the mean time I'd love to get some opinions on this before it's sent all over the known world. :)

There will be additional limited space for those who would just like to come for the day. Please get your reservations in early as we have a finite number of sleeping spaces.

This is a girl scout camp, so it's a bone dry site (no alcohol at all, not even for cooking). We are looking into whether brewing and vinting might be allowed as it wouldn't be alcoholic at that point.
For reservations please contact THL Xian at:

Date: 2008-02-14 08:11 pm (UTC)I'm also going to start posting requests to match up locals with people coming in from out of town for rides. By then I will have moved to Tacoma with my sweetie and can possibly pick people up myself from SeaTac.

Date: 2008-02-14 08:13 pm (UTC)I'm half thinking that rather than worry about whether to call it the AnTir Culinary Symposium, or the Known World Culinary Symposium, just to call it the Culinary Symposium and leave it at that. :)

Date: 2008-02-14 09:52 pm (UTC)Still all in all for a weekend full of classes it's way less that you'd pay for one night at a motel, not to shabby. :)
The lecture track will be people presenting their research. I love hands-on, but I'm really excited about this too because most people only get to present their hard work in a very very limited way (often only to people, who are judging them).
