FYI regarding the tuition cost of the weekend. I just registered, and
the registration process shows a tuition cost of $308 rather than $180,
all the way through the registration process, right up until the final
billing page. I talked to someone at the school who said it was a
glitch in their software, but I sent them a message about it after I
registered in hopes that this would be fixed. My suggestion would be to
pay the $100 deposit for now until things get ironed out.
Should be a dynamite weekend!
