Yes, tomorrow, 10/1/19, and we will be 3 weeks out from the 2019 Edition of the DSSG.
As per a previous post we have now received 17 registrations. The trend with many star parties is a downward trend in registrations as our hobby is changing with fewer younger people joining our ranks. I think the weather the past few years has something to do with this but we are due for some good weather and the fall timing for the DSSG does give us hope. We also hope for cooler weather and we can feel a change in the air. I was just outside giving some of my plants some needed water and even though it was 3 pm in the afternoon, I was not sweating. It is beginning to feel a bit more "Fall Like". How much more deeply will we be into fall in 3 weeks? Hopefully a lot. Many of us enjoy hanging out in the morning and the afternoon wherever the DSSG is held enjoying the blue skies and the moderate weather.
Just a reminder - early registration ends on October 11th, not this Friday but the following Friday. Registrations received/postmarked after that date go from $25.00 per individual to $45.00 and family registration goes from $35.00 to $60.00. So look over your options on the registration form and get your registrations in now. Additionally while I do not think we will run out of bunkhouse space, when I fill up bunkhouses (I only assign people to bottom bunks in each bunkhouse) I then start filling up other bunkhouses. Note - we will not be spread out with low numbers in each bunkhouse. So if anyone is later than last year in getting your registration in they may be in a different bunkhouse. As of now the west side of the main bunkhouse is full and the next group of registrants will be assigned to the east side of the main bunkhouse.
So word for the wise - if you are planning on attending, please get your registrations in now!
