How many people usually come to the gatherings? 30? 50? 100? 300?
Is it a 2 or 3 day event?
What are the planned activities? Where are they usually hosted? Hotel ballroom? Community center? Park? Mulitiple sites?
Do attendees usually rent cars?
Would attendees be interested in a "Walk Where They Walked" type of tour of Seattle area Yes history?

As Kirk and I have both mentioned, there is a major music festival in Seattle called Bumbershoot that happens on Labor Day weekend (1st full weekend in September in the US). That could really put a crimp in our style due to huge crowds, hotel bookings, etc. The Experience Music Project (EMP) is at Seattle Center ( www.seattlecenter.com ), where Bumbershoot is held. I am not certain about this, but I assume several YesFans would want to go to EMP and see the Yes stuff there along with everything else. Also, (for the Yes history buffs among us) the first venue Yes ever played at in the USA back is also at Seattle Center.

Seafair is mainly a festival for locals, although many people do come from out of town. But again, the crowds in an around all the different events over the 2-week period can be difficult. http://www.seafair.com/about/press/release.asp?ID=594
The main one to be concerned about, though, is the air show as they close off portions of freeways for safety. The Blue Angels fly over and around Lake Washington and the city.

In light of all this I would say the the following weekends would be the most difficult:
August 6-8
September 3-5 (Labor Day weekend)

You cannot avoid everything, but I would encourage votes for weekends other than those two.
And weatherwise you are risking more when you get into September.
(Too bad you are not all here today, though. It's gorgeous.)

It's in 3rd place now anyway...

Tourist season is crowded enough.
Adding in the last weekend of summer, plus the
Bumbershoot wouldn't be good.

This is no small local festival, bands like REM headline.

Re: 2010 YF Gathering Date Poll

I think a new poll is in order. And remind people they can vote for multiple dates.

I don't think that's a good way to handle it. If that's their preference, that's their preference.

I'll do a second poll. I did state in the first post of this thread that this current poll is multiple choice and the next one won't be.

Re: 2010 YF Gathering Date Poll

Can you list the weekend after Labor Day and the weekend before Labor Day as choices please. This way those of us looking to have the gathering later will have some good choices other than Labor Day.

Thanks.

Why continue to have multiple dates and choices???

If everyone picks the best date for themselves, that would quickly show what dates are the most popular!

it would give those 12 people another choice..

I still think we should reach out and see what kind of Tour Plans YES HAS..


They should play at our Gathering!

Same here, Rob... two Yes Fans gatherings in one year will be fun, even if one is unofficial!

But the hazards of having the gathering on Labor Day weren't well known when you made that poll.

Can you do another and let people do multiple dates, pretty please??? And please add the weekend after Labor Day.

Re: 2010 YF Gathering Date Poll

I think if we're going to do another poll, folks should get only one vote. It's time we picked a date. The longer we take to get a date selected, the harder it becomes on the planners.


.....just my two cents.
