Where were you three years ago when it was in Dallas?
I think the idea of a "National" meet is that it's in just one location and is officially called the "National Meet" because it's just that - National. I'm all for Regional meets, and some of the most successfull meets (including the biggest meet) was a regional meet. If we (the Legend community) are shooting to have an annual, national meet, which I know I am, then I think we need to really keep with the format so far and move it every year. This year in Vegas we had a chance to talk to some of the NSX guys from NSXPrime and some of the original founders of the online Legend community and the impression I got was the NSXPO (the NSX National Meet) is held in a different location every year so more people could attend. There are die hards that attend every year regardless of location, but there is also a good mix of new people every year. There is a lot of structure that goes into the decision, and an entire week is planned out for the event.
While I think we're a ways off from that level of event, we need to start laying the groundwork for that now.
Now, please don't take this the wrong way, and understand that I'm not trying to be a dick about it, but for people who have never attended one of the National Meets (there have been 3 so far) that want to get involved, I would suggest becoming a part of one of them and
then joining in the fun of deciding where the next one should be.
So far, we've pretty much picked the next years location at the current years event and it seems to grow every year. Why should we deviate from that?
Again - please don't take this as me being a dick, because I am not trying to be one. I want everyone to come to the National Meet and see how much fun it is. I would love to see cities competing to hold the next one and regardless if it is there that next year, they still come anyway wherever it is.
