Unless Ted comes forward I guess I am the Unofficial Official Contact. If I
could get an estimated head count for an October event, I'll look at venues.
Based on Ted's research most hotels maybe prohibitive ($X00.00 per day) but
other venues (VFW, Community Rooms) may not be centrally located for travelers
(as opposed to Travellers:)).

Your input will allow this to happen. Ted pretty much pulled the 1st one out
of his pocket, not sure the rest of us could do that.

Central is going to be tough to achieve, given the amount of area "west"
covers. the Bay area or
northern/central California seems a good comprimise
for those along the I-5 Corridor - as close to halfway
between Seattle and San Diego as you can get. But that leaves out those
western states not actually ON the coast.

The most logical choice geographically is also
probably the least feasible financially - Vegas.  I-15
would pull in folks from So Cal AND the northern mountain states, and there
are fairly straight shots to it from Idaho and northern CA as well. Reno might
be an alternate option, and a lot of the little regional airlines have cheap
tickets to there.

Anyone in the Silver State want to carry the torch? Possibly at one of the
lesser hotels (Reno Ramada, etc.)?

Would you like an ECC golf shirt? Nick getting a bunch ordered with extras
shirts available for sale at the convention and for others who are unable to
attend. We can set one aside for you if you'd like one.

They are nice, but seem like small consolation. "My friends battled the KV to
a glorious death, and all I got was this shirt."

But they already have me thinking about things for a possible WCC. I'm gonna
have to keep up the dialogue about that.
