Brad....Why did FMIC drop that great on-site program which was in existence for the first two years? Those who participated appeared to have spent a valuable week there. Any chance they might consider offering it again?

This is probably in the realm of "if you really want this, start a rallying cry that it needs to exist and show us that there'd be enough realistic demand to warrant the extensive planning, expense, etc. required on this end." Armed with such info I'm more than happy to take said info and establish awareness on this end. We're all about empowerment of the people, kind sir.

Although I would love to attend a Fender University, I am not in the position to be able to attend for monetary reasons. This would definitely eat into my GAS fund. Perhaps when the country gets more stable and fears ease with a possibility of a significant cost of living increase I would feel more comfortable spending that kind of money for a great experience/vacation.

I just started to look into Fender University and I am bummed that it is no longer.
I may be coming into some money next year and thought this is exactly what I need, so thats too bad it doesn't exist anymore.

Methinks we're going to need to know how many need to commit to attending in order for them to do it. Anyone remember the size of the previous groups?
