I have been supporting this event for many years, and this is the first time that I have felt unwelcome. Please do not repeat this next year.

I also registered for the event early yesterday AM, but due to getting busy at work didn't get around to booking my room at NVNC until just a few minutes ago.... Managed to get the LAST available lodging on their property - cabin #23. Agree with your comments regarding early VIP reservations, if that practice is going on please don't do it again next year. I can understand Phil & his volunteer staffers getting first crack at NV lodging, since they organize & run the event, but no one else should receive any preferential treatment.

We've never fully booked the entire Nantahala Village in less than 2 weeks, so something is definitely a problem.

I think part of the problem with NV is they have fewer rooms available to begin with because they sold off some of their properties when management changed hands last year?
