I agree that Toronto or SF for that matter is pretty far from Calgary.
Considering the drive, it's probably best to get a flight.
But as for being just another rtlToronto meeting, I suppose that's true,
it's another event in Toronto, probably run by rtlToronto, if we were going
to host it. What I think would be different, and let us know if you think
this would be attractive or reason enough to come out:
-Scope of event is longer than anything we've done before, probably 2.5 days
-Range of people would be much larger than the usual rtlToronto +
Windsor/Montreal corridor crowd (hopefully)
-More types of activities, if people are interested in running them.

Off topic, that's the way it was here in Toronto about four years ago.
Don't fret, I'm sure soon more Lego enthusiasts will come out. It'll
happen. Maybe not now, but a critical mass just starts building- and while
the response will always vary (not everyone is as interested or devoted)
there's a point where there will always be enough people consistently
attending. rtlToronto only recently hit that point, in my mind.

Driving wise, probably not. But airfare wise, it actually is cheaper IIRC
to fly to Toronto anywhere else due to the majority of flights being into
Pearson YYZ.
