To give more detail to Tree's post - a lot of it comes down to money. We need to get through Fall Ball before we can commit the funds for the insurance and deposits. We're playing it cautious because we're still working on moving on (financially and otherwise) from the issues of the previous...
Wow, I know I posted, and it seems the phone ate it.
We are working on finalizing dates, and everyone will know as soon as we do. There will be a grande parade and great hurrahs heard throughout the land. Promise*.

As Atreyu mentioned - it seems you guys google-fu'd yourselves into some old information. When one refers solely to the information provided, i.e., the website provided, those references aren't found. I appreciate your enthusiasm for this event, however! :joy

The site is in the middle of changing hands - discussions have been had between Tree and the site owner regarding who we are, what we do, what can be expected, and our traditions.
The link was provided to give an idea of location and images. I'm sorry this is starting to become a witch hunt...
You're lucky I logged back into the site :P
We've already worked out a deal regarding both, so disregard the website on the drinking/smoking point.
I really doubt anyone will be swimming, but since we'll be booking the whole site - this is likely also a non-issue.
Second point - I stated we...
I am pleased to announce that Tree al’Rotture and Atreyu's bid of
Los Angeles
has been selected as our next Anniversary Party location.
We had 3 bids and a very difficult decision to make. We try very hard to keep events in North America moving (check our our map!) from one region to the next...
