    I am interested in all ideas, and anyone who wants to help make this a reality, have tons of ideas on how to make this work and what to do with it, but looking for all kinds of opinions.

    I am all for Texas... but do me and my Canadian countrymen a favor? Can we please have it in the middle of winter? I want to go somewhere warm in December, January or February...

    It could boost the attendance from Canada and the northern states! I know a few North Dakotans and Minnesotans that would be game!

    A 5K & 10 K in the morning would be great too.

    Of course, I am originally from Michigan, and I know the winters stink, and trust me, unless you wanna spend time in 100 degree weather, summers maybe a lil hot, I was thinking next spring

    Thats a great idea, and actually Austin has those like biweekly to monthly, something we could totally do

    If you seen the opening of this, Austin has over 200 bars on one street, think that would be plenty of booze, just saying :drinker: :drinker:

    Yeah, I was thinking of revolving places, again, the first year, I suggested Austin, TX, cause well, it is my idea, LOL, but I just know of so many places and things that could go on here, and hopefully with some help, get it all organized so it can truely take place.

    We are gonna need sponsors (booths) for this. Try and get a hold of some of these ads from the site - probably will have to get Mike involved for that.

    Yeah, I am still waiting to hear back from Mike. But I also have a new friend, bless her heart, anniebnannie, that is an event and convention planner whom I am going to work with, once I get the consent, gonna be a lot of letter writing to companies and the such to get booths, but have a ton of ideas, and gonna get them all done on paper and go from there. But when this comes to fruition, I think it will be awesome.
