Carlisle post show thoughts

I guess I'm a short timer been going since I moved to the east coast - so the last 4 years. Thursday and Friday the weather was great, Saturday was a #%^%@!. So moving it later or earlier (cooler) in the year would be nice. The only other thing that gets me are the hotels charging CRAZY prices for the stay. I wouldn't mind so much but for example the Days Inn Carlisle North, I paid 800 bux for 3 days (with all the fees and taxes 260+ a nite-??) and the only good thing about it was the shower had good water pressure. What are you guys doing that I am not? One friend / vendor says he did the AirBnB thing this year and rented a whole house for the week! Help a brother out!
