All I am saying is the same thing happened last year. It was also put together at last minute. Just as same this year. Great, people are complaining about it again, same as last year. The same things are happening if people want to actually correct it and not fall in the cycle step up and correct it.

Otherwise the same thing happens. Don't get pissy with me or direct your anger at me.

Also, at this point some volunteers are organizers and some organizers are voulnteers. No one has an idea on where the line is drawn or not. No one is blaming any one yet but you think you have it in your head.

If people are going to step up and run it they need to be reliable and not flake out last minute or a month before hand.

As usual you are missing my point!

This is not about planning the event - that is another conversation.

This thread is about recognizing the disservice that was committed against the people who paid money to participate in a event and then got **** on. Its about venting off the embarrassment of having angry people walking up to me and asking WTF just happened and not having any answers for them, or even having a person I could point them to to get answers. Its about calling bull**** on being told, "well, got nothin' for 'em so why bother announcing anything?" That's what this is. So yes it is helpful, because it lets me vent and also pulls the dirty laundry out so something can be done about it, or it can be pronounced dead.

No one needs you wading into this with you management hat on or trying to alleviate any residual guilt by association you might be feeling - not right now.
