1) "Let's organize a Focus meet that's central to most of Canada" == cool

2) "Everyone's invited -- from Vancouver to PEI" == cool

3) "Come visit where I live, I like it here and you might too." == cool

4) "Let me know if you're interested." == cool

5) "Why can't it be in Toronto/Windsor/Montreal/New Orleans/Paris, France/Ethiopia?" == not cool.

We have our FocusCanada BBQ here in Burlington (a half hour south of Toronto) (Thanks for your hospitality Puppet and Anthony!) every year, and we get a decent turnout -- but also every year there are people right here in the GTA that can't make it/gotta work/washing my hair/too far/wife won't let me/whatever. You just can't please everyone. If ya can't go, don't bitch. The person that was VOLUNTEERING to organize this is organizing this where he lives. Hell, I wouldn't want to try to organize a meet in Vancouver from my home in Hamilton. So what's the big deal here? Seems logical to me.

So let the OP try. If he gets a great turnout, kudos. If not, at least he's trying. Damn, half the time we can't organize a wing night without a Kancel or two. ;)

Unfortunately it seems that those that try get persecuted for trying. No good deed goes unpunished, it seems. Sheesh.    <_<

Thanks Sparky, indeed. Logistically, its not possible for us to organize an event thats not where we live. We just happen to live in the geographic center of canada, so it kinda works. Maybe for 09 someone out there can take the rings and do most of it in TO. Always a possibility!
