See? There ARE people interested. Just gotta organize more than one event to get 'em to visit, and advertise such in the appropriate forum. It'll happen, if enough of ya want it, and one of you will host it in your dwelling, or will arrange for the club in which to host it. You also CAN use hotel rooms. We've done so for the West Coast Gatherings, as have Albany's SuperBowl Gathering, and the before and after party for NEST. There's likely others, too!
Do you all want such a thing to happen? Reply to someone's post. If not Mustangman's post, then one of the others. Pick one. Reply. Encourage that person that they'd have a reason to arrange for this, to screen the attendees, mail 'em all wit' details, and show to greet you all.
It's a worthwhile deal. Just requires gettin' offa your seat.
