OK guys, lets be serious here.  In my opinion, having multiple "Audifest 
99's" would be a mistake.  One of the biggest draws for even attending is 
being able to get together with all of the really die hard q-listers and 
meeting everyone from around the country.  If we were to split it up, 
this would disappear and would cause the event to be less interesting to 
me.  (snip)

Mike (and others):  I disagree.  I think multiple audi get togethers are
advantageous; I for one have other committments that make Pike's Peak or
Monterey both difficult or impossible to attend; however, I'll be at Mt.
Washington in New Hampshire again this June.   Actually, I think Mt.
Washington last year had more quattro list people than the Pike Peak
"Audifest" ever has had... So you're certainly not going to get "...all of the
really die hard q-listers and meeting everyone from around the country".

There's plenty of die-hard audi fans/quattro list members who do not go to
Pike's Peak... why exclude them?  We should encourage more events, and spread
them out across the USA [and canada, and as the international contingent
grows, other locations... but it seems England has it pretty well covered
already : ) ].

While it's fun to attend "the biggest event of the year", I'd rather see the
energy spread out a bit into regional meetings.  Perhaps they can be spaced
out to "lead up to" Monterey?
Just my opinion...
