It boils down to this...a forward thinking, bold spirited promoter whose glass is half full has "put up" what should be enough incentive to entice the most pessimistic among us to drag our stuff out, make this event a success, and potentially forge the beginning of a sustainable format. Some will tow across the continent to be here and there will be those who choose not to haul down the street - it's all about choice after all, and that is why there is justification for more than one 'HRA and the unique classes that populate each organization.

I just think it's cool that someone dares to envision a sandbox with room for everyone.... come and play or stay home - it's OK.
