    Is the 49.99 price already discounted?

    Yes, $49.99 is the discounted price. Believe me, we're not making any money off of the registration fee. It's all going into the swag bags, location rental, etc. This is 50% off the cost of last year's event, plus we added a 2nd day of content with amazing speakers like @TonyPSchaefer.

    I'm hoping I can attend this, but my business schedule has too many open items that have been suggested right around this time. Until those are locked in, I'll be unable to commit. :(

    At least we have until 9/20 to register.

    You're not going to want to miss my panel discussion in which we cover such topics as "why the new forum software sucks", "why threads disappear with no explanation", and "how come my connection is hit-n-miss?" Guaranteed to be a good time!

    Shared the link to the TGB4 on my FB page. Just thought I'd let you know, the link does attach, but you have no thumbnail show up! This year's site is very close to me and I will be there, getting excited just reading about it all!

    Thanks for the heads-up, I'll take a look into it.

    I was almost done with registration and then I saw this photography waiver that had this sentence: "... and to use my name in connection with any use ifhe/she so chooses." What is this about? It's strange to have it added in the waiver, plus the typo. Can we just take it out?

    Great, just got home from a weeks vacation to Virginia and the Toyota plant in Georgetown, KY, and find the info in my email. I could have planned my vacation around TGB4 like last year.

    I'll be there starting Thursday.

    Sorry, Wayne! I actually did mean to drop you an email a few weeks ago to let you know, but details were kind of shaky until our trip to Boston two weeks ago.

    I am reading about the event here: To Go Before | An event celebrating the first family of hybrids

    I have looked at the 'HOME' page, the "About To Go Before," and "Attend TGB4." No where do I see WHERE the event is being held! All I see is:
    "suburban Boston," (home page) and "working on a location in New England."

    I want to share the link with certain people-- Prius owner / friends, car guys who don't have a Prius - yet! - and my dealer. What good is it if they can't see where the event is being held? Can you please update the Event Page? I think you need the location, street address (for GPS) city, state. Thanks!

    Excellent point, and thank you for bringing that to my attention. I've updated the TGB4 homepage with more info about the location, and added a Location tab to the navigation menu. Here is the location page:

    Perfect! Thank you so much!

    I wonder if you should have the link to the dealership pdf file on the website, as well? Might be a good addition.

    Danny and Russell orchestrated a great meeting last year in southern CA. It looks like the Boston event will surpass that, with two full days of presentations and other activities plus the service event and the countryside drive event. Not to mention the lower registration fee.

    I won't be able to attend but look forward to hearing all about it after Sept. 21. This is a great opportunity for East Coast Prius owners and I encourage you all to take full advantage and enjoy!

    I keep wanting to prepare a flyer, and leave it on every Prius in the parking lot of which ever store I am at, ha ha haaa. I emailed ALL my friends about it, and shared it on my Facebook page, to help spread the word. SO excited to have it close by!
