Not sure how that makes any one person responsible for the actions of the group or one particular individual. Maybe I'm missing something but anyway that's why I'm trying to get a more detailed understanding of how you think we should proceed with this.

Get togethers happen at the burger joint around the corner. Having the idea to cross the country for a Yarisworld Nationals says to someone that it is bigger than just a get together. I think we all agree on safety....sixteen yrs ago, I would have had a different point of view and so did my 454 lol. There is no arguement that we all want what the OP wants, a huge gathering? What will drive this community to come is my question and who will drive it? I've had two years of exp gathering members from two forums as well as Facebook, sponsers including NST, Sparks, MI and a few others to gather in one place. It's harder than it looks. My suggestions are just that. Getting the word out there is not enough to get a huge gathering together. It requires a lot of legwork. Believe me, I want to be there, but the location is the least of the worries. I drive 10 plus hours a year to Nashville to do the same thing. ImportAlliance is a great example of what people will drive thousands of miles for. It all revolves around getting the commitment and then having members show up. The rest is easy. So all in all, I'm hoping the OP (or someone else, as a few people have pointed out) takes the time to do their homework and really makes a go at this. Like I said, the place is the least of anyones worries. It's making sure they show up and making sure they are heard. The rest is gravy.
