That is, if they manage to find a place to hold it.

They will. They can use my backyard if they have to.

Not sure where to put this, but did anyone else get the email about BBHQ moving to San Antonio, TX? The email subject said "Under New Management", but, um, what does that mean….? Ideas, anyone?
Esther Grace
They're moving to San Antonio?! ^well, that's cool - closer to OR, for one thing^ We didn't get that email. I wonder who will be managing it now.
Everett C.
I think I heard that BB hired some business consultant guy… and he's from Texas.
Febah M.
They'd move over the HQ for that? The email said that none of the staff members would be moving to TX. That's…interesting.
It also said that the decision was made by the Board of Directors, which is basically made up of the Kennedy family and Mike Farris. The only reason I could think of was that the Kennedy's live in SA, but that still doesn't really make sense.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Wow. No, didn't get that email!! Why?
Febah M.
That's what I was wondering! I think it only went to 2015 hosts. Which is kinda funny, because we haven't signed up to host yet this year.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Could you possibly post the email here?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Are you sure it isn't a prank?
Febah M.
Sorry, I don't have access to it right now; it went to my dad's email. I will when I get a chance.
2 Corinthians 5:17
I wonder if Nationals could be in SA…? Just an idea.
Febah M.
Lol, I don't think so. It came from Stephanie Hills, who works at HQ, and it was signed by Mark McMahan.
Febah M.
That's what I was thinking too…
2 Corinthians 5:17
Ah, I see :) Because I know there are some pranksters around here… looks around knowingly you know who you are. :P
2 Corinthians 5:17
That's what I was thinking too...
I think that would be a good place! Although, it is kinda far from me… :P
2 Corinthians 5:17
Have you aged out of BB now? I remember seeing you in the qualifiers list a few years ago, right? =)
Febah M.
It's even farther from me :/ But I would love to go there, so I'm fine with that :)
Febah M.
Have you aged out of BB now? I remember seeing you in the qualifiers list a few years ago, right? =)
Nope, thankfully :) I'm 16. I qualified every year, and went to Nats every year but last.

Ohh, okay!! :) I thought you were 18 or something like that. xD 2014 was my first year to qualify, and I really hope to be back this year. :)
Febah M.
Ah. I think you came to Nats before last year, though? Am I right? Is this your last year?
2 Corinthians 5:17
I came to Nationals in 2012 as an observer. Did we meet? Being a contestant is sooo much better. ;D Sadly, yes, this will be my final year. :(((
Everett C.
I honestly don't know. But if it's "Under New Management", I guess we can expect some changes to be made in the future.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Uh oh. Here we go again. :P ;)
2 Corinthians 5:17
I have to head to bed now, but it was good talking with you, Febah! =) Bye!

^some changes were made under the old management… just saying^

Are you sure it isn't a prank?
There is always that possibility. One could always ask HeadQuarters if it is true, but if it was a prank the prankster(s) would likely get in trouble. I doubt that HeadQuarters appreciates jokes that actually give people misinformation. I would be interested to see if anyone else got this email, as there are several people on here who I am pretty sure would be notified if this was, in fact, the case, though we must take into consideration that perhaps they would also be notified if it was a prank.

SA would be HORRIBLE! We would never be able to go. I would cry my eyes out AGAIN!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Well, if y'all couldn't come, that wouldn't be good, but I think SA would be a good location otherwise. ;)
Mommy's Helper
I think not. I think Cincinnati would be a good place.
2 Corinthians 5:17
That would be a good place too. :) We shall see. :)
Emily H
I know our family got the email, as did another host in the area who isn't connected with MV at all.

THAT! xD
Matthew Minica
Emily! :) I suppose you're just on for a minute, though?
Matthew Minica
Bummer, I guess she was.
Matthew Minica
Somebody's spying, though. ;)
Emily H
Ohhh, sorry! I was off somewhere else in cyberspace. :P Are you still here? How'd playing go?
Matthew Minica
YAY! I was about to delete my comments xP Just wanted to say hi because I probably won't be on this Saturday. :P Playing at the funeral went well! With the Lord's help (not to mention a couple of hours of practice) I managed to get the jazz song more or less done. It was a great experience. :)
Emily H
xD Well hi then!! I'm debating going somewhere Saturday, so I may or may not be here too. :P That's great!!! I'm so glad. I knew you could. :D
Matthew Minica
:) Thanks for praying. :D Where are you thinking about going? We're probably going to a "birthday carnival" that some of our homeschool friends are putting on.
Emily H
My brother has some pig show camp or something. xP And everyone else is going. Oh, that sounds neat!
Matthew Minica
Okay :)
Aaand I need to leave now… see ya Emily! Thanks for coming back to chat for a bit. x)
Emily H
Byeee!! Good to talk to you for a couple minutes. Kicking myself for not looking on here a half hour ago. xP Hope you have a great time if you do end up going Saturday! Good night!

If it was on Crete I would be able to go. but… then i think my family would be the only families going. :p so i have to admit that i hope it's not on Crete. :p :p
I would like it in Delaware, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Florida. :p

Then we could see the Alamo and some other things… not to mention visiting your house!! jk xD

That would be really great, except… it might be a bit hard to work out because we'd probably have two dozen other families wanting to come over as well. xP We'll cross that bridge if we come to it. Because of that, I'm personally hoping for Houston. :)

I thought of that. XD It would be better to visit y'all another time of the year, anyways. XDD

Pennsylvania is really nice in the fall. ;) ^Especially in Pittsburgh. XP^
Matthew Minica
We actually usually have really nice weather in October-November if that was what you were referring to. :)

Not exactly. I mean, it would probably be better to visit you more spaced out, than all at once. ;)
