I wanted to toss an idea out now rather than after we all leave Austin this year. Plus it's been kinda quiet on here lately and I think we could use a little discussion.

Our annual event in Austin is quite popular and the area gives us a lot of scenic driving opportunities. However, every year it is up to the same group to put something together. So I propose that the different local groups take turns "hosting" the event in Austin.

Say next year it's DFW. They take care of the arrangements. Surely they can get a group to go down for the weekend and scout it out for February. Then DFW makes sure that when everyone arrives they are sufficiently welcomed and informed, etc. Then the next year it's Houston. Same deal.

The benefits as I see them is that it takes the burden off the same group to come up with something new and fun each year. And the Austin group has an extra incentive (besides it being their backyard) to come out on Friday night and Saturday night to see what is planned. Seeing your city from an outsiders point of view can be really interesting.

Thoughts, comments, etc???
