Really? Where are you getting this information from? Many of us who want to set
up a Mid-February South Western Brick Event would like to know. I, for one,
haven't heard a thing about it.

That's not the point and you know it. Want to split hairs? Fine, let's set it in
Fresno and make everyone 'happy'. Oh, wait...I forgot - there's absolutely
nothing to draw you to Fresno aside from location. Portland has even less unless
you are located in Seattle or Vancouver.

Again, I say FRESNO! <please hold applause>

No, it's more convenient for most of the southwestern US, which is the entire
point of this portion of the thread. How about Phoenix? Las Vegas? These spots
also qualify as being 'convenient' for the sw US, but aren't known as
traditional Lego hubs (no LUGs), so they get left out of the picture. My point
with all this is WHY move the event away from the LUGs and LTCs where you know
you'll have a successful event and into an area that has few AFOLs? That's what
makes absolutely no sense to me.
