Subject: SARATOGA 2000 Question/Opinion
> A little wrinkle has developed regarding the scheduled events for SARATOGA
> 2000 and we're seeking an opinion of those fans who are likely to attend.
> As everyone is aware, the concerts at Montalvo are scheduled for WE-FR,
not
> the usual FR-SU. While this presented an interesting dilemma, no problem,
> we worked around this.
>
> Our original thinking was to hold the Fan Club Social on Thursday evening,
> August 24 and the Doobie Brothers Fan Club Convention on Friday, August 25
> from 2-6pm. No events would be scheduled for Wednesday, August 24 as many
> people would likely be traveling. The Fan Club Convention would take
place
> as it did last year, at the Los Gatos Lodge in the El Gato Room and on the
> patio by the pool. That worked so smoothly...something just had to come
up,
> didn't it...
>
> Yesterday I called to reserve the patio and the El Gato Room. We can have
> the El Gato Room, however, the patio has already been reserved for Friday,
> August 25. So, here's where the opinion is oh-so-very important. Should
> we:
>
> 1) Just hold the event in the El Gato Room and forget the patio (we
> don't really need the tables that were in the middle of the room, that
will
> give us room)
> 2) Move the Fan Club Social to Wednesday and the Convention to Thursday
> so that we can get both, or,
> 3) Look for another location for the events (not very likely).
>
> Honestly, I'm leaning toward option number 1. All day on Wednesday and
> early Thursday are likely to be heavy travel days for fans. The grounds
of
> the Los Gatos Lodge are pretty spread out and the bar is right across the
> hall, so we have room to spread out if necessary (Imagine a guitar clinic
in
> under one of those shady trees...
>
> We'll do whatever everyone thinks is best. Also, please consider that the
> rates for the room and patio have increased from last year. The El Gato
> Room is now $400, up from $350 and the patio is $325 up from $275.

> Please let me know what you think.
