Morning Colin
Do you sleep??
The Idea of alternate gatherings is good. However just to be clear, I would
in on way subvert or change the gathering that now takes place. It should
remain central so that it is accessable from most parts of the country. The
organization and effort put in for these events has been excellent. I
personally have had poor attendance and a lot of it had nothing to do with
weather. Though one morning I did take off heading for a gathering at O
dark thirty and got hypothermia so bad I coudn't stop shaking and turned
around and went home.
My main disagreement was and is the time of year only. As pointed out in
"Advertising" not meny KR's show up for some of the events. To get Einstine
to give a speech wouldn't you first see when the best time is for him to
come?.
Oshkosh is always in the direct middle of summer. The fear is that if you
plan the gathering too close to that, no one will attend. If you discuss
vacation and holiday plans with most family people, you would come up with
issues that start with "My family plans, We plan to, etc. When it comes to
flying, the We in any statment I make is referring to My KR and I.
