White Bridge Rd is cool by me.

[chances R]

yep, sounds good. Video also good idea for you tube. Could also see similar thing being done maybe in different regions of the state.

[midtennchip]

I have had a number of people ask about the video. However, I think there are a couple of problems with it. First, I don't know that I want something that could be considered "legal advice" posted on the internet, particularly without editing and a lot of "off the cuff" answers to questions. If I were going to post this kind of thing on the interest for all to see, I would want to have a more controlled environment with significant editing.

Second, this will be designed to be more of a discussion (with me leading the discussion into various areas), so having an "active" videographer who could pick up all the comments/questions from all of the different participants would be needed.

If there's a way to post it on TGO and keep it to TGO members, then I would not necessarily be against it. If that's possible, someone let me know and I'll be happy to look into it.

With all that said, I MAY be interested in traveling a couple of times to put on similar seminars in other areas of the state. I go to West Tennessee fairly regularly, so that could probably be done. Going toward Knoxville and/or Chattanooga would need more planning.

Location sounds good.

Chip,

Agree with your comments about the issues in regard to doing a video.

Some of us by professional training and experience are sort of camera adverse.

I know, sort of old school in this day and age of Facebook and YouTube. But there are folks out there who will use your image against you or the things you hold dear. Edited November 6, 2012 by DMark

Sounds great. Thank you for your generosity!

White Bridge = Winning!

[LagerHead]

Honestly, I think anyone who carries daily needs to attend something like this. Definitely count me in.

[Guest tswenka]

Depending on dates and times, I would definitely attend.

[E4 No More]

I hope that when the date and time is set that it's not buried in this thread, and that a sticky announcement is made.

I would attend. Crossfire, I can meet up on I-24 near Manchester. You could drive to here and I'll get us to Franklin so we'd split te gas.

That would work for me.
PM me when you get a chance

[KOM2]

Definitely interested! I think even a small donation from everyone that attends would be worthwhile for sure. Maybe $10-20 to cover his time. Law degrees aren't cheap and neither is professional insurance , etc.

White bridge is great. Look foward to the time and date.

[midtennchip]

I am still working on this. However, I will probably have to wait until after Thanksgiving before finalizing the date. Hopefully, we'll be able to do this in December, but it might have to wait until January.

[jwinter]

If the date works out, I would like to attend. Could you consider a later morning or afternoon start time for those of us from east TN? 9:00am or later would be great. That would give us plenty of time to drive out to the Nashville area. Thanks

[Dustbuster]

Im in

[kieefer]

Depending on dates, I would be interested.

[midtennchip]

Here are some POTENTIAL dates. If I get sufficient responses to one of these dates, I will confirm it here. If neither of these dates work out, I will try to do it in January. I will likely do the seminar a second time (probably in January) for those who cannot attend the first one. Here are the proposed dates:

Saturday Dec 15th at 1 or 2pm
Sunday Dec 16th at 2pm

I would expect it to last about 2 hours (maybe less).

Let me know if you are planning on coming. Once I get sufficient responses, I will post the confirmed date and time in this thread AND in a thread in my vendor forum. Edited November 28, 2012 by midtennchip

Chip,

Both Dec dates are A-OK for me.

[TexasAggie]

[b]I can attend either date.[/b]

[monkeylizard]

I'm in for Sunday.
Saturdays are usually fine too, but that particular one is not.

[RobertNashville]

I definitely can't attend on the 15th as I have a Christmas party in Knoxville that evening...Sunday the 16th is possible but to be honest, any date in December is going to be a problem for me (I guess I'm just too much of a social butterfly that I need to make plans 4-6 weeks ahead. )

[Guest Razz]

Unfortunately, I cannot make either day at that time. Early mornings are my only open time.
