Just a little random thought, appropriate to nothing:

I've always thought that if I ever organized a major otherkin gather of my own, I'd like to have it at a campground with cabins. My reasoning has always been that I love the chance to be out in nature, walking the trails and the meadows and through the trees, but tents just aren't that comfortable and they leak easily when it rains and they're not conducive to storing things safely or having large numbers of people camped out in them for workshops and stuff (Though i will say that the use of the pavilions for that at Thresholds in the last few years have been a great improvement during inclement weather.) Now, I'm not so sure. There are other settings that might equally suit me. A gathering at a large home in a rural area would be one example, where we could make use of both the indoor and outdoor settings as needed. Certain suburban areas might also suit my needs, depending on how they interacted with the surrounding wilderness. I'm not sure this is going to become an issue anytime soon, though I do eventually expect that I will try my hand at gather organization somewhere down the road, many years in the future, but if and when it does I'm going to take a good look at exactly what I would have hoped to get from the cabin scenario at its core and see if cabins really are the best way to achieve that, or if other options would make more sense.
