Plain and simple, don't be so freaking provincial. Having an event in SoCal makes it just as hard for the NW folks to attend as having an event in Seattle or Portland makes attending hard for you. And don't forget the VERY active BAYLUG/BAYLTC folks, who are put upon by having to travel to BOTH locations. The event doesn't 'need' to stay in SoCal - it is just more convenient for YOU if it is there. That's not in the "Play Well" spirit of things. Having said that, I'm angry with Steve as well, as I was under the impression that this would be a collaboration among folks to set up, not a glorified local LUG meeting run by one group. In particular, I volunteered - and was accepted - to run registration for the event, but haven't heard a thing about it. Over to you Steve.... Donning fireproof suit now...
