Is this class filling up? I purchased 2 seats, but since there are no replies I was unsure if anyone is going. Just hoping not to have it cancled due to lack of sale. Thanks

Hello Sigfan,

This class has been very popular and is filling up nicely. I suspect this class will be full months before the class start date. For some reason some class announcements get lots of post, while others do not. Luckily for me though, all the classes have been filling up either way.

Another "Dallas-ite" here that just signed up.

I`m planning on leaving work Monday (day before the class) and driving down. I`m looking at staying at a Motel 6 (or equivalent dive) near the area that night.
Any other Dallas people doing the same thing?

[VA_Dinger]

This class is full.

Thanks to everybody who signed up.

Thanks,

Paul
