Allan,
You mentioned that "As in past years, we have lots of really great prizes and
door prizes available."
Yes, the prizes for people who actually did something, like winning the
vertical contests, speleolympics, slow race, etc. are great and worth waiting
for,
especially the gear donated by vendors like Bob & Bob, Gonzo Guano Gear, and
other groups. A few less expensive prizes like t-shirts and publications are
also fine. And if the TCMA holds its usual auction with its usual auctioneerer
speleosteele, that is also a fun event. But for the last 10 years or so, it
seems to me like the door prize segment that follows the awards/auction has
grown far too long (one hour? or more?), and has become downright boring and
repetitive.
I highly recommend that the organizers consider limiting the drawings for
door prizes to less than one hour (maybe a lot less). That will allow more
time for everyone to enjoy the rest of the festivities on Saturday night, e.g.
noodle wrestling with the band in the hot tub. If any of the rest of you agree
with this, please let the organizers know.
Whatever is decided won't affect me this year, because unfortunately I'm
going to be at an archaeological conference in El Paso rather than TCR.
Someone please save a door prize for me (not a t-shirt).
Logan
