As far as location is concerned, central is good, but I think that it should be
held in a city where there already is a club represented (Host).  Hmmm, where
is there a club in a central city with an international hub airport??...

I'm joking and serious at the same time.  What would people say to coming to
Mpls next summer for a first annual LTC convention?  We could get LD on board,
and have all the major LTCs bring their layouts for an all LEGO train
convention.

We could get a huge space (perhaps a convention center), charge a nominal fee
for the GP (to help defray travel costs for incoming clubs)... heck, we could
even serve concessions, sell T-shirts, so I'm sure that it could be done with
little or no out of pocket expenses.

I would even love to see the ITLUG, FGLTC, and EJLTC there as well!

How do folks feel about the general concept?  Would anyone attend such an
event?

I would love to do something like that, but for I can commit I would have to
talk my wife into it. For me, 2002 would be MUCH better than 2001. One thought
though, it might be good idea to go to a place where NLSO's would have something
fun to do while we are trainiacing.

Hey, would this be a Lego Trainiac convention? (Sorry, I know it is horrible,
but I could resist.)
