I just got off the phone with Don/HDP.. I just want to clarify that both of us understand each other and no harm has been done. Don's a good guy and he meant no harm and I might of been bit stressed out and took things bit more personally... Don's a good friend and I think it just came out wrong and me understanding it differently. So, just wanted to state that..
Regarding time... Well, I usually take about a month off and after that I start thinking about next year.. Well, that's not quite true.. Usually I spend 4-5 hours back from the event thinking about what we could do to make it better or what we thought was good and bad (usually talk with SPOAutos about this). Than I take about a month than start the process.. Checking to see who will give us the best deals (lodging) for us so i make multiple phone calls and such..... Anyhow, by the time I decide on the date, I probably spent 40-80 hours.. I usually don't keep up with time.. but it all adds up (forums, emails, phone calls, etc).
Its hard to say but I probably spend on average 10-15 hours/week for about 9+ months... Thats just my guess.
