Looks interesting, thank you for sharing! How many people usually attend? Do the hotel rooms sell out quickly?

[JocelynJames]

I wish I could say, but I?ve never been. The friend that sent this to me has gone as has AprilRose from this forum. I know there are quite a lot there , and I?ve never heard of rooms selling out. My friend said the rooms are reasonable.
Price for the actual event is $130 for Saturday only , $160 for both. I haven?t been to any larger events like the Comfort one or Keystone so I don?t know how those prices are. Hopefully some that have attended this one will chime in.

Thanks for sharing that.
I might just have to plan a get away for then.
4 hour drive from my house. But 2 of my kids life very close. I will get to see them too.

My spouse and I are planning to attend again this year. We went there as friends two years ago and came home a couple.

The price is consistent with other events.

April could you share more about what it's like to attend?

[April Rose]

It is held in the hotel that used to host First Event before it was moved to downtown Boston, so the staff is used to us. Friday night was a trivia contest and a Deejay with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. It was well attended.

Saturday Night was the main party night The theme was grease and there were a lot of cute 50s costumes. The Deejay was good.

There weren't a lot of organized activities during the day, but there were some. An organized trip to a nearby mall was one.

K and I had a good time and we made some contacts with other local trans folk. We felt it was worth the price and will attend again this year.
