Karen,
I guess you don't watch and see how George's groups usually go. While
it would be very nice to do the Sleazy from NO, I doubt that any that
are booked will change that if it has to be relocated. I know it won't
change my plans except for drive time and route...
George is highly successful doing groups and it is because of the way he
does them, his unique personality and a whole slew of other reasons. |
