WCR - More Bang for the Buck

From Loren:

The final two weeks before a WCR weekend always kick our asses as we pull together all of the details that make the weekend happen. That's even more true this year with the new venues and events to coordinate. But on the other hand we get to spend hours thinking about nothing but rubber stuff. Yay!

A few updates:

1) We're including the Full Rubber Dinner in the price of the weekend package for 2010! (cue radio voice) That's a $30 value! It's our thanks for your support and amazing kinkiness you've brought to WCR over the years.

2) Yes, the rumors are true...there is no contest this year. We solicited nominations from the community and our assembled master minds of notoriety, ie the previous WCR titleholders and co-producer Alex, voted and selected our Mr WCR 2010. His identity will be revealed at the Friday night opening event. Don't miss it!

3) Host hotel - we didn't arrange for a host hotel this year since the feedback we received was that most guys preferred to make their own arrangements. However, the Comfort Inn we used last year at 2717 West Sunset Boulevard (213) 413-8222, is central to the action and offers a good rate.

WCR 2010 is September 3 - 6 in Los Angeles. Weekend packages are just $95 and include:

* Friday night VIP Meet and Greet plus the Gear Show and all night hosted bar
* Demos and classes
* Gear Up Dungeon Party - hosted bar, secure clothes check, fully equipped dungeon
* Rubber Perv Pool Party - BBQ plus beer and soft drinks
* Full Rubber Dinner
* Weekend collectible t-shirt and wrist band

You can also snag individual tix for several of the events. Get is all at wcr2010.eventbrite.com

Sounds like they may be having attendance problems since there will be no contest (disappointing)and they're throwing in the Sunday dinner. I also noticed that the pool party was for pass holders only, now tickets can be purchased directly. Any idea how attendance is stacking up this year? I was thinking about going last minute this year, but probably not now...

From my understanding, the reason the contest was turfed was because people attending cared less about the contest and more about play and social parties. That seems to be the trend for a lot of the smaller events around the continent...
Rubbout for example has never had a contest and for that many people are very appreciative. The contest can be tedious and for a non-long weekend event can consume a lot of valuable play and party time. With MIR and MAR getting to be bigger and the contests being a more focal point of the events, it seemed less necessary to do all the work surrounding a contest and focus on the fun stuff. I think Loren and Alex who basically organize all the WCR events, they were thinking of themselves and a desire to have more fun and deal less with logistics on WCR weekend, and as they should. I like the idea that there is only fun and no contest on the weekend! I have no idea of numbers though. I know a few close friends that are attending and that's all that matters to me, but I don't know what the general numbers look like.

Less formality, more party! I like that format....IMHO

The dinner could now also be included because there is no contest, therefore no fees for booking a venue for Sunday afternoon for the contest....the reasons why things are changing can be answered only by the organizers, but I wouldn't assume it's because they're panicking because the numbers are low.

Thanks for your thoughts, that actually makes a lot of sense. I still may go now, thinking of WCR, Folsom, and MIR and can only do 2 in that timeframe since I already have something else already planned in Sept...
