[Elfsea] EVENTS - WHAT DO YOU LIKE

[Mike C. Baker]

	1. How far are you willing to travel to daytrip? (hours,
mileage) 
(generally) 2 hours / 120 miles

	2. What is the deciding factor as to whether you camp or stay at
a hotel? 
(if NOT daytripping) Current employment or lack thereof, followed
closely by current weather conditions (under 40F or over 100F, I try not
to camp anymore -- BTDT, with clusters)

	3. Do you find it more expensive to camp or stay in a hotel? 
Hotel definitely more expensive / generally less attractive IF there are
sufficient facilities to allow camping "safely" (noting that I have not
yet made the jump to non-modern tentage and "full service" camp gear
setup -- YMMV)

	4. If you got a break on the site fee, would you be more willing
to show up early and stay late for set up and tear down?
Maybe -- but is that feasible within the financial & other rules we
abide by?

	5. If you day trip, what time do you generally arrive at the
event and what time do you leave? 
Under review.  PREFER to arrive before opening court, leave after
evening court (and bardic gathering), but recent experience has said
"better part of valor and circumstances"

	6. What kinds of things would make you more likely to stay
later, lets say Saturday of the event? (bardic, parties, special
nighttime fighting)
(IF daytripping) access to "safe" after-dark roadways / site
familiarity, bardic, hafla, special surprises, etc.

	7. Do you have the ability to have one or two people carpool
with you to an event? (space in vehicle, for them and their stuff)
Occasionally / under review (would work better with a "regular", someone
with whom commonalities can be arranged in advance - one larger ice
chest, shared dayshade, armor bag[s] / list-legal weapon cases strapped
on roof, etc.)

	8. What kinds of things do you like in a site? Please rank the
following (1 thru 8 with 1 being most important) 

	__5___   Flush toilets 
	__8___   Showers 
	__1___   Easy access to water 
	__3___   Easy access to electricity 
	__4___   Indoor (A/C or heated) hall of some kind 
	__7___   Formal parking (Blacktop/cement) 
	__8___   Close distance to hotels/food 
	__2___   Shade trees
