Gun Blogger Rendezvous Update

Today is a big day for this year's Gun Blogger Rendezvous, as today I sent in the $500 deposit for the event. I put off sending in the deposit until shortly before the deadline, usually a week before. The plan is that when all of the registrations are sent in to the Circus Circus, I get my deposit back. That is, assuming that enough folks attend!

Last year we were just barely big enough, but this year it looks like the event will be bigger, with most of the same bloggers there, some bringing their families this time, and some new bloggers, too.

It is really important that you get your room reservations made at the Circus Circus right away, and that you send in your registration for the Rendezvous ASAP, so we can plan for the correct number of attendees.

The room rates for Thursday, October 11th., and Sunday, October 14th. are $49 per night. The rate for Friday October 12th., and Saturday, October 13th. are $89 per night. All room rates also have an additional tax added to the price. Included in the room rate is free wireless Internet (usually an extra $10 per day) and a package of coupons for some freebies and discounts. The room rate also covers the hospitality rooms for us for all four nights, so we have a common meeting location for our group.

To book your accommodations, telephone Circus Circus reservations at 1-800-648-5010 and give them the group code of

You also need to register for the Rendezvous. The registration form is HERE in a PDF file. Download the Registration form, print 'er out, write out a check, and mail it in! Since any profit from the Rendezvous will be going to Project Valour-IT, there is also a place on the registration form where you can make a donation to them, along with your registration.

You don't have to be a gun blogger, or even a blogger to attend. If you read the gun and military blogs, are interested in the content found on those blogs, and you would like to meet some of those bloggers in person, you too are welcome to attend!

Hope you can make it to Reno for all the fun!
