here is my tuppence on the subject.  it seems like the ideal event/location     
for a gathering is the 75th pikes peak.  my initial thoughts are:               
- hopefully some sense will prevail among the organizers and VWAG/AOA           
  so audi will be represented properly given it's significant history there.    
- there has already been discussion of ukqoc representation at the event        
- lots of twisty rocky mountain roads nearby                                    
- a coupla tracks that would suffice for the track event                        
- several qlisters live in the area                                             
- it's already a 3 day weekend, so add a coupla V-days...                       
- no further from boston than indy is from la or st loo from portland           
  (he says while noting the eastern bias to the geographical centrists  =8)     

just some food for thought (or my wild ramblings - not sure which)...
