Yes! Not for a while, but yes!

It's been both in Arizona and Nevada in my memory. It has also
been in Colorado. I'm sure others know of western venues. Three
years ago it was in Texas. Does that count as 'West?' Michigan
is west of me, but other than Ted Nugent, isn't exactly 'out west.'

How about Iowa? That's the slated locale of the 2004 confab. Just fly
till it gets flat, keep going a ways, and hang a left at the nuthin' Puts
you right on downwind. One nice thing about the whole of the heartland
once you pass Denver is that it seems like one big emergency landing
strip. The other nice thing is that the section lines tell you the
cardinal
directions with near perfection.

Finally, the deal with these conventions is that anyone who wants to
(or some would say, particularly their wives 'is dumb enough to')
volunteer to organize it can have it.
