Who is NOT going to LA Dolpa in November? Why me! My family ALWAYS comes before any hobby, and my parents would be devastated if I missed Thanksgiving. I strongly suspected they were going to make it this particular week end because I believe the 23rd is a holiday in Japan and maybe they were hoping to lure in more Japanese attendees.

I'm sort of wondering how that is going to work with Doll Show in October and Dolpa in December and most sewing circles having day jobs. ^^;;

That and they need to pay their own way.

This will be one freaking expensive /insane dolpa.

I hope to do my West Coast family...Thanksgiving.

I bet many will not be able to either afford the extra cost..and hassle of Thanksgiving travel.

At least they are giving people advance notice.

It is a lot of extra cost and a lot of extra hassle. I suspect that it will mean the majority of attendees are from the West Coast.

For me the advance notice doesn't really help. I'd long suspected because the 23rd is a holiday in Japan this is when it would be. It's just hard to decide to spend 2/3 of the price of airfare to Japan for a week end, when I can go to Japan and attend Doll Show or Dolpa there.
