[urq] UPG 2008 Planning

[audiqtrocp at aol.com]

Im with you as far as wanting to see it happen on a grand scale, and I 
certainly don't mean to rain on any parade.  Again, Im just being 
realistic within my own abilities which is one day en route, one day of 
social, and one day home.   This isnt MY event  by any means but if 
anything I can be devils advocate within the group because I just can't 
budget 5+ days for a single trip like this.

Say this event ends up somewhere in the heartland, will there be a 
considerable group further west of the Colorado contingent joining?  
When we did Park City in '04 it was hard to get the CA guys to come up 
(although we did have some NorCal folks), nobody from SoCal or anywhere 
besides Co (and myself in LasVegas) joined us.  I consider that UPG to 
have been well planned far enough in advance and offering some great 
amenities as well as activities.  There is no doubt the further east we 
travel we'll end up with a higher population of UrQs, anyone else dream 
of 40 UrQ's owning the Blue Ridge Parkway for a day?

Make no mistake I'm quite excited to see this taking shape, but 
personally I can only maintain my enthusiasm if it stays within my 
reach.  I still think I was being reasonable in saying to plan it 
around the majority of attendees and there will just  be extreem 
distances to be traveled for those away from the core.

... I guess I'm a bit surprised ... and a bit disappointed by this sort 
of
comment ... the audifans somehow managed to get folks from all over the 
country
together 10 years ago ... two years in a row.
