You are right Mother Mo, it is invite only.
I have gone several times and it is usually fun, but it got a bit commercialized. $50.00 for a weekend of primitive camping, plus an hour or more of your time donated to cook, clean or whatever the owners of the property want you to do, to make their property nice; just made it a bit to 'organizedish' for me.
But if you got the invite, have a good time and remember May in the Smokies at night is FREAKING cold.

For these reasons and so many more (bordering on disgust) I will never again attend anything at CE. I wasted far too much time there.
Sure, I'll try to be nicer, if you try to be smarter.

Life is like a box of Chocolates....sometimes you get coconut...and sometimes you get cream.....then there are times when you get shit..

Thank you, Shadow. As I am not much for camping, especially on chilly nights, I think I'll leave it to younger & wilder pagans than myself. Plus 50 bucks is far too expensive for this college student & mom.
I have thought about going up & observing the festivities to see if I could come up with some kind of quasi experimental design study for grad school, though. Maybe one day...
I've been. I got hand fasted to SilverFrost there. I plan on going this year and if things go the way I want eventually I will be able to buy land up near-by someday.
