I promised you an answer, I have none. Other than we have a core of people looking into options that will best suit what we want to do.
We're thinking about two different locations, and talking with people in those areas to see who is able to give us the most help.
What I want to hear for you guys, is what you want to see happens during our get together, like stuff on stage, food, shows, activities, awards, etc. Anybody that has any experience in running an event, PM me. I AM NOT IN CHARGE OF THIS, but as a group, a serious group, this is going to go together.
