We may not be able to put one on every 4 months but hopefully it will be close enough were you can attend once in 3 or 4 years.
To answer your first question. The mods decide the location and if you take a look at their locations it's pretty wide spread and which brings a lot of discussion to the table. Myself, I've pushed TX and I'm very happy to see a lot of you would have supported a TX fest. I can assure you I worked this from every possible angle along with Pete and others and it simply wasn't doable this time. This goes for a lot of other locations as well. It's very easy for folks to spout off locations, but it only takes one piece of a huge puzzle to toss it out, such as NOLA. We've actually been called stupid for not choosin it. There is no drag strip there yet.
I invite everyone to go back and READ the OP. I'm very confident, in fact excited, that we made the right choice from what we were left to choose from. |
Point 'em out I'd like to punch 'em in the nose!
This will come to NOLA at some point it is inevitabile. I have some lights and a tape measure.
Really I am glad to even have the chance of going. One way to look at this is people must really yearn to be a part of something in this community. Remember when we grow the pie the slices get bigger.
