Yes, mixed emotions about that. Dearly missed the camaraderie of my friends and fellow umpires. OTOH, not a fan of moving it to a facility that knowingly could not handle the event. People can say what they want about the Biltmore, but IMO that location was perfect.

I can say that both you and Steve were missed, at least by me. You were there is spirit with the virtual discussion (oh yeah, I see you were civil to my boss, even though he has the exact same opinion about that particular play--haruph!). Of course we took care of the First State's "little" contingent.

As I was talking a hot shower every morning, I really didn't miss the Biltmore.

The facility did work out nicely, accommodating the 470+ in attendance. My only issue was that some of the social/networking activities were diminished due to attendees staying at different hotels.

Of course, he's a baseball-oriented guy :)

Don't want to start on that one

Never had any issue, including hot water all the times I spent at the Biltmore

This is to what I was referring. Too much is lost there for what should be a major part of the weekend.
