Hi Stephen,

This has been thoroughly discussed on the FMBC forums at  
www.fullmoonbusclub.com.

EveryBus is not an FMBC event. It is certainly well attended by FMBC  
members, (Many in Vanagons) but it belongs to Chris Cybulski, NOT to  
the FMBC.

For many years Chris has herded the "Bus Community" cats through the  
hoops needed to stage a successful event there, and in the process he  
has built a great rapport with the staff and managed to develop an  
amazing cultural phenomenon. But conditions in spring 2009 just are  
not going to be favorable to make it work between Chris and the  
Hagan-Stone staff. Out of respect for Chris I would humbly ask the  
members of the Vanagon list NOT to try to organize a replacement event  
at Hagan Stone this spring.

HAPPILY, THERE ALREADY IS AN ALTERNATIVE/REPLACEMENT FMBC NORTH  
CAROLINA SPRING EVENT!!!!
