Next Up --> CalStar

Now that GSSP is done, the next major TAC Star Party is CalStar. This year the
dates will be September 25-27. Once again we will be at Lake San Antonio.

CalStar is a simpler event than is GSSP. Since we hold it in a park, the park
provides the entire infrastructure (which is sometimes a mixed blessing).

The price of meals climbed this year above the $20 mark. I felt that was too
high. I looked in the Paso Robles area for alternatives. Several companies
offered similar services, but were each more expensive than our long-term
caterer. After consulting with my TAC/GSSP co-sponsors and with the board of
SJAA we decided to eliminate meals this year. We are still discussing if it is
possible to have some sort of social event at dinner that does not require a
hiring a caterer.

We still ask that everyone register. That gives us a count of the number of
people to expect. I will try to leverage that to get enough toilets and to get
them pumped more often.

I am going to start registrations in mid August.
