Nope. It was more like we were down 30. If we had 30 or even 20 registered I would have kept registration open longer. But with only 5, it was hard to imagine that another week would have made a difference. I was trying to do this with no sponsorship so 35 was the minimum to pay for the facility and hire the cook in advance. I was trying to pull this thing off just about right at cost. Which I thought would a cool thing to do.
I'm disappointed but what are you gonna do? You try things, some work out, some don't. Not a big deal. We're probably gonna do something fun in STL that weekend anyway, so if you still want to come you're welcome to. It's just not gonna be what we thought it was.
