So it's easier for more people to attend. Why do many so-called "national"
conventions cater to the east coast? More people. Personally, I don't know
why there has to be a "national" Lego convention, and I don't have a problem
with there being a NW Lego convention and a SW convention.

No, I haven't forgotten, and yes, there are people who are going to not go
if it isn't conveniently close no matter where it is held. More will not go
to Seattle than not go to California. Perhaps it would be healthy to move
it around - I always love to see different cities myself: Portland, SanFran,
Denver, Vancouver, I'm sure I'd enjoy myself in all! But as I said, I don't
have a problem with a more restricted regional view.
And you are forgetting Mexico....

Note I didn't respond to the original message which despite it's subject
line, is about a "Brickfest" NW, not west, but rather than one that
approached it as a "Brickfest" West in reality. I rather imagine that it
will end up wherever a group gets off it's duff and organizes a meeting
place to it's own convenience.
