Ltstanfo and I were talking the other day about the good times we used to have at Amiga shows around the country (and Canada).
The simple fact is that these days, there simply isn't enough "business" to put on an American Amiga show. You'd have a lot of trouble getting enough dealers and even enough people to show up (what with gas prices and all) to pay for the rented venue, setup, and all the assorted expenses.
That's when a strange idea hit me that rather than a full show, we could forego the dealers (unless some just wanted to come along) and have a "picnic" or better said, a two-day "gettogether" like Amiga Atlanta used to do about 10 years ago.
To that end, due to my job, I couldn't organize such an event anywhere but here in Huntsville, but wanted to gauge the possible interest from you guys to see how many of you would be interested/able to make it in for such an event if given enough time to plan (say having it in August / September, or even October)
If you're interested, pop out your ideas for what we might do and things we might consider. Hey.. I've never put together such a thing before, so I need all the pointers / ideas I can get.
Maybe if we can get 200+ of you to come along and drop in a few bucks, we could rent out the local theater for an hour and watch the deathbed vigil..
Of course, I don't know how much that'd really cost, but it's an idea... What's yours?
