[zrfraser]

I came in third in my high schools mens beauty pagent, but it was more of could the most outlandish and funny than looks, but I like to think it was the other way around.

For myself, and maybe a few other out-westerners, I'd like to "see" Nashvile before I drive in. What makes Nashville "Nashville?"?...

Rent the movie...

That will only be fun if all the ladies come.

I'm excited that this event may actually happen. Having a national gathering, imo, is different than Chicago, LA, or New York gathering because everybody is traveling to the city instead of living around it.

If the choice is Nashville, (I voted for AZ) I would be happy to rent a large enough vehicle to take 4-5 people to the Great Smoky Mountains. It's 3 hours away, but since airfare is so expensive I wouldn't be going back there anytime soon.

There is a lot to see there and I would be willing to lead an excursion to the park.

Ah Loren, you have a short memory. To me, the Chicago Gatherings have been really interesting for the very reason that hardly anyone that goes is actually from Chicago.

I fly in from Florida, you've flown in from CA, nat from the northeast, Irakly came in from Detroit, others from Wisconsin, etc. To me they've been as "national" as you can get...

BTW, that's a great offer you make to take folks into the mountains. Hope all of this works out. It's shaping up to be a very memorable event...

Nah, the girls will just have to change clothes, makeup and hair styles 4 or 5 times. Besides, I don't think I could afford that many razor blades. :blush2: (Sorry for that mental image)

So...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say we're meeting in Nashville, TN in October of 2007?

All in favor say "aye!"

[photophorous]

All in favor say "aye!"

Wouldn't "Yee Haw!" be more appropriate?

[walterick]

Extra points if you can do it Dukes of Hazzard style

[natatbeach]

I'd say it's a tight race with Arizona...

So October 2007 it is---Nashville first choice Arizona tight second.....let's do both!
just kidding

This is precisely why I think the idea of a "National Gathering" is a bit flawed: IMO all gatherings are NATIONAL in that everyone from around the country (heck from around the world) is invited, and all gatherings are REGIONAL, in that any chosen location will exclude some members because of travel costs and time constraints.

I have to agree with Steve on this one. Plus were are talking about doing this once a year, so next year it will be a different place. Don't get me wrong I would love to see AZ and next year it can happen. Then the year after that another location and so on.

Just my 2 cents.

[walterick]

What happened?

[Greg McCary]

I am going to have back surgery sometime this year so it would be hard for me to go, but what about a meeting east and west with a live tele cam to each other. Just an idea

[Tel]

Hah, Nashville? I might be able to go there.

Arizona? No way.

I have a sister down in Tennessee, but shes not near Nashville.

Yeah, I might be able to get down for Nashville, if it happens.
