Were you waiting for me to chime in?
The 2007 tour was the
7th BRT. What folks don't consider is that besides these things becoming tiring and dare I say ho-hum, they're a lot of work.
First you have to pick a date (that fits into your schedule); then, hope that something doesn't come up that will interfere with the arranged date.
Then, with so many repeat riders
, I have to worry about
adjusting the trip highlights. Lord knows that repeaters shouldn't be bored.
After last years diasterious tour, (I made a few changes, or should I say that I
messed with success), I decided to call it quits after 7 tours.
After a conversation with 3 people (one who posted above), I decided to not be dramatic, and go for #8 in the Spring of 2008 (May or June).
Next year I will go back to the 'tour as usual'. I won't try to change the tour for the repeaters (some 3, 4 and 5 timers
). The 2008 BRT will operate just like the previous ones.
Jenbel, these DOs are in our blood. All of the DO organizers are the type that want to make Flyertalk a better place.
FYI, the first Brooklyn Tour (the name changed to Brooklyn Reality Tour when
magic111 had an idea to name it after the Kramer Reality Tour of Seinfeld fame), was an offshoot of
CatmanDo 3. It was just a way for 7 people to kill the day before the CMD3. So you see Catman, this
alleycat still acknowledges its early beginnings.
Sorry for rambling. But if you want more rambling... feel free to join me and 24 others in 2008.
