Hey Alisha...come back!!
Anyway, the reason she and Wes are organizing it, is because you HAVE to have somebody organize a meet. They don't just happen without a leader. Who do you think set up NOPI for us? Hell, me and Greg (plus many others) put more time than you can imagine into it. If we just said "everyone make this work," it would have never happened.
Anyway, I think we desperatly *need* somebody like Alisha that is willing to head up local meets. This is how to grow a local scene into something huge. Fred did this in Louisville a few years back, and now look how many people we have there. Just check our Frapper map and see. We have TONS of people in the KY/IN area, and it's almost all due to Fred.
It would be great to get the same type of thing going in the SC/NC/GA area, and with the enthusiasm that she brings to NICO, it is an EXCELLENT start.
Now, onto the subject at hand...
I vote Greenville, simply because I live in GA and Greenville is the closest location that anyone has mentioned so far. I will most likely come out to a big Greenville meet, but Myrtle Beach is a bit far. So is Charleston, and even Columbia.
Back in the day, I used to go to the Louisville and Bowling Green meets all the time. I figured a 4-5 hour drive was well worth it to help promote club participation. I'm willing to do the same again in SC, but I most definitly need a local to get it going....So Alisha, I hope you don't leave us permenantly
