We took advantage of the discount right now and ordered our Fun Field pass for 2016. Hotel room all set up (different hotel this year). Not looking to wish summer away already, but it's hard to wait.
Ever think of doing this twice a year?

Too far for us to travel. It's just that we enjoy CAC too much. So we'll do GM as usual to tide us over. You guys do too good of a job!!

Lance, can you give us some more details of the "new 4 day format"? Specifically, what is Thursday going to look like? Previously we've come on Friday and Saturday, since Sunday didn't have much. Will Thursday be like another Friday and Saturday in terms of seminars and presentations, etc., or will it be more like an early version of Sunday?

It's been a few year's since I've been to CAC; hopefully I'll be able to make it in 2016! I think the last time was back in 2009 or 2010!

Locked in my early bird special rate at the last minute! Looking forward to August 2016. Hotel recommendations wanted! Been to a couple mediocre places last two years. Anything that's decent with a nearby restaurant?
