In reply to Markus Schwemmle, Dave Eaton, Jim Sudduth and Pouya who
collectively asked:
"How about another VTR Convention on the west coast?
Geez guys, gimme a break willya? I didn't mean to imply that:
a) anything at all had been decided for future conventions
b) that *I* am the one making those decisions - I'm NOT!
c) that *I* know anything at all about what *is* planned. Heck,
I didn't want to imply that I know anything at all, period. I don't.
(You can verify this with my wife.) :-)
Truth is that a local club applies for the convention in writing and the
VTR board reviews and votes on the application. John Lye has it right. (see
below) If you want one on the west coast, apply for it. Just be prepared for
your club to front about $3k and tie up 50 or so people for three years.
(It must be worth it tho, this is the second time we've done it. Either that
or we're all certifiably bonkers.)

Thanks John, for saying what I probably should have said in the first
place.
