After todays announcement by Vickers Tactical (which I've only looked at briefly, not yet read the entire thing), is this course going to be conducted by LAV or one of his instructors? Any way of knowing yet?

LAV is listed as the primary instructor in the posting. Also, read the entire VSM announcement and it will clear up any issues about who is teaching what. :)

No sweat. The announcement is rather long, but it should answer any questions you might have.

I wish I could attend this class.

This is hands down one of LAV's best classes - don't miss it!

It's not often that LAV gets up here, and there is something to be said for sleeping in your own bed after a day of training with Larry.

I'm still deciding where to stay. I was looking at the Holiday Inn but would also like anyone more familiar with PBG to throw their choice into the ring.

Mike, I see you're at the Hampton. I may look into there also, which one are you at?
Tom, I just shot you a text.

Hampton and Holiday Inn Express in Monaca are more convienent with mostly highway travel path to BVRPC.

Holiday Inn in Beaver Falls has a big pool and hot tub, bar, restaurant etc.

Larry Vickers told me a 0830 start a couple of hours ago.

;)

Better to be early than late, so it will work out fine.

Dude, I am THRILLED with 0830. In fact I vote for 0900!

I just didn't want their to be confusion between what the e-mail said and what was posted.
