When FG 2024?

Post by greenonion »

I understand that it might be premature to reveal the date of this year’s Fall Gathering, but if I promise not to share would anyone in-the-know PM me and let on the dates. I think I know but I’m possibly combining that trip with another and need to be solid. Thanks!

I am hoping that it is the weekend on September 28 and 29th, because if it is the weekend after that I will not be able to make it. I think last year it was announced about a month before the event.

I've been banking on that too. Pretty sure it will be; it's almost always that last weekend in September. Otherwise, can always have our own SG that weekend!

Last weekend of September would work best for me too!

Who generally makes this choice?

Echoing what everyone else has said. If this is in late September, Regina and I will definitely be there. :)

I think Taylor organized this previously but according to his profile he hasn't logged on for a couple weeks...

Anyone have any clue if we need to send out a search party to see if he's hanging off the side of a cliff somewhere or did he just *gasp* find something other than mountains to do with his life? (The horror!)

But other than making the standard post and setting up the 14ers banner, is there really much 'organizing' that goes on for these? Maybe there's more behind the scenes than I realize but seems mostly just post dates and bring a banner...
[to be clear, this comment is not meant to be disparaging, merely pointing out that the natives are getting restless and there are whispers of a pending insurrection to have *gasp* someone else post "the thread" if our fearless leader fails to arise soon... and the drama builds... queue dramatic soundtrack...]

Eagerly awaiting the dates as well. I think I will finally be able to make it this year, weather dependent.

Taylor is on a backpacking trip, but should be back in a few days and will certainly get the thread going.

Looking forward to it as always!
