Well only because I believe you really need to attend one of these seminars. I would be willing to drive from Kalamazoo and pick you up to go to the Flint seminar on 1-31. I work Fridays but I will take the day off to help you. The seminar starts at 7PM let me know time and place to pick you up.
Or you could go to the Novi seminar on 2-21. I see on Google maps it says Royal Oak to Novi is 19.3 miles so that is not far unless you do not have a car and once again my offer is there.
Edited to add: Or simply ask on the board if you need a ride.
That's a gracious offer TT. As you pointed out, the Novi seminar is roughly 20 miles from his location. I expect that he will neither accept your offer, nor drive the mere 20 miles.
It amazes me how those in the rural areas will drive quite a long distance, often an hour or so, to attend MOC events. But those in the urban SE Region won't drive more than 10 miles. I often get comments, especially after a seminar or eat & greet, of "when are you going to have one in my area?" This coming from someone in Sterling Hts right after a Utica event. Or from someone in Fraser right after a Roseville event. SMH
