Interesting...

This could be a lot of fun, or it could get out of hand. :D

only nineteen votes so far?

Yeah, don’t hang around. Thunder’s offered to do all the organisation work (unless I read wrong).

Indeed you did. :D

<commitment extraction mode>

But you will organise it won’t you?

I think we need someone with a lot more experience, someone possessing “convention” type, organizational abilities. Or at least someone with a good understanding of the “travel” business.

Hmm, organisational abilities, you say. Maybe like the kind of abilities that would be need to run a forum?

Understanding of the travel business. Not sure thats really too essential, everyone would be making their own way after all.

Probably would need someone who can drive a large vehicle, unless we all hire cars.

Does anyone spring to mind with those qualifications?

Hey, a convention may be a good idea. Of course, with my small gains, I may get stuck at the kiddie table!! LOL

I may kick off a convention idea be seeing DW in Vegas this December. I hope that trip comes together for me… this could be fun as hell. Hey, you only live once folks… let’s enjoy the ride!!

Hugeness.

Where would this be? No place cold, please.

We have travel-savvy members and mods.

I heard Thunder’s springing for NY strip steaks every night - or was that tube steak? Strip, I think. Anyway, there’ll be plenty of food and, it appears, if this rolls, much national and international press.

Imagine the confusion of luggage: Bib hangers, stretchers, pumps, lubes. I’m not sure that even the most experienced Convention City is ready for this.

My guess is that New Orleans and San Fransisco could handle our group. Vegas probably could, too. Otherwise, it might have to be on another continent. Sidney, Australia would be pretty cool.

Hey Avocet, how about Hawaii?? :clap:

bigjack;

If you all don’t plan on staying at my house, I’m all for it. I’m not anymore into drawing straws for bathroom space.

However, we have a good number of aussie members as well as from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Need to think of everybody’s travel requirements, if we get serious about this.

Avocet8, I got a good laugh over the housing and bathroom issue! LOL. :chuckle:

I see what you mean about the international nature of our membership, though. There are lots of really great places in this old world to have it. We just need to consider a bunch of issues like travel safety and the stability of certain regions.

Perhaps we need a separate thread on suggestions for location? Then we could do a poll to pick the spot. I’m already eyeing a bag I want for packing my PE gear in. As long as it’s a warm climate, we won’t need much else besides swim trunks and sandals, right?! Hehe.

:jumpers:

Everybody come to Vegas baby

I can already hear the 911 call…

“We need police down here quick, there are a bunch of guys exposing themselves to each other, some of them even have weird S&M devices hanging from their members. Think I’m going to be sick!”

“Ma’am, calm down, swat is on the way”

Great idea SHOW & TELL. i’ll bring a stats print out along.
