I just now found out, sorry it came so late. Not enough registrants, so BDSS pulled the plug in order not to lose any more money. Which is fair. Please tell any one you know who was planning on coming, send me your snail mail addresses, I DO have them on the registration forms, but just to be sure, maybe you can send them again.. I don't want to overlook anyone.
I lost a lot of money on this, so it will take time to pay it all back to you folks, but I will.
Thanks.
Lucy

        Oh, that sucks!! I'm so sorry!!

        I don't know why, but for me I work so much in summer and yet always seem to have summer be when we get tight on funds that I just couldn't afford them.

          I'm sorry to hear this too! I think it is the time of the year. Everyone is stretched thin on both time and funds. I know I am!

            but here is the thing: we have always gotten the numbers by folks who pay at the door.. there ARE plenty of people who can make it. I still am getting e mails from folks who are planninig to do it.. about 5 more, and who knows how many more there would have been? There WERE numbers, they were just fluctuating.
            So... I'm going to take some time off from the net, and e mails and then will start working on what eacy person is owed.
            lots of love to all,
            Lucy

              Actually, after my 2 day panic attack, I realized that it won't be chaotic paying folks back, it might just be slow. But I'm still humiliated that this happened. I feel like there is something wrong with me; that I/m suddenly not capable of sponsoring workshops anymore. That I'm stupid, a spend thrift..

                You're not, Lucy, you've been busting your butt trying to bring really cool people here! The thing is people really do wait until the last minute to sign up, usually just because they're saving up or need to clear their schedules. The people at BDSS should know this. It can be really nerve-wracking waiting to see how many pre-register and trying to give the performers or their agents an idea how many people are going to be there.

                And I bet the turnout would have been great at this one because a lot of people who missed the first one were probably thinking they had another one coming up, so they were planning on going to that. Don't beat yourself up about it, I'm sure you did everything right.

                It would really be a tragedy if you stopped organizing these events, especially now that Arizona is getting on the map.

                  no way - it's NOT your fault. re-read Ellisa's post... it's all true.

                  YOU ROCK and never forget it. this was BDSS's bad! and believe me, i sent them a pissy note about it!

                    I was actually kinda kidding. I got so absorbed in dissin myself, I wanted to see how many archaic insults I could come up with..... I love words.
                    Thank you for saying how you feel to BDSS.
                    I want to make it clear that I'm in touch with Miles and he didn't know anything about it and now that he's back in LA, says he will look into this. He wasn't hopping for joy about it either. Actually, he was quite surprised to hear it. And upset.
                    Miles has been a great friend to me these past couple of years. Yeah, I know, surprise. I don't mention it too much, because folks either think I've gone to the Dark Side, or am just making it up. I really dont know what folks would think, but I have always had my opinions, and he and I argue quite a bit. I've e yelled at him, and over the phone.. and he's boomed right back.. we are not intimidated by the other. Which is good. There are some things we just don't agree upon, but he hasn't exactly shut me up and has never tried to.
                    I think between you and me, he wants to be more like me, yno, understanding, kind, patient, and lovable. And god knows, I am trying to help him get more Lucy-ness. Has anyone noticed a difference these past couple a years?

                      but I digress... all I can do about the Kami thing is to hope they find a way to bring her out here after all. That's about all they can do. I'm left holding the bag, so to speak. oh yeah, and Ive started sending out the refunds..I'm doing them by order of registration and am starting with Saturday July 28... so if any of you registered for Sunday only, you might wait a while as I work my way through, but please be patient... I will not overlook anyone.

              So sorry the workshop was canceled. If Sam & I had not already had unchangelable plans scheduled 2 months in advance, we would have gone. We are sorry we missed it.

                I just wanted to say "Thanks Lucy". I received my 1/2 refund for the Saturday session of Kami's workshop.

                  that is good news, Donna. let's hope that a Kami workshop will come our way again. Not too sure if I want to sponsor it, but I would like to take one at least.

                    sorry to hear this.... I also read on one of the tribes that Tribal Magazine is no longer going to print,,, because of lack of subscriptions,,, and after the post was made, there were these posts that said stuff like I was just waiting unti... yada yada yada....

                    I know it's hard , but the lack of support can be frustrating.... all those people who "were going to" if they just did, things like this wouldn't happen. Don't take any of the blame Lucy.

                    I know how hard it is to put on an event....

                      Thanks, Chuck. I'm taking some time off from sponsoring workshops for a while.I was going to take a little break anyway, I just ended up doing it earlier than I had anticipated. I never understand why folks like us keep putting on events, because we know it will be difficult, but it's so much fun at the same time! I really love it most of the time.
                      I feel guilty about my own inability to attend the TF's. As much as I have wanted to, it's not worked out for me. So, I understand very well how folks may WANT to do something, but they just don't have the money.
                      What a shame about Tribal Magazine, but this seems to happen a lot.. so many publications have come and gone in our community.
