A big show (ie worth trans atlantic travel for) in New Orleans would kick ass.

Yeah, and we did not even have the Internet back then. Am I the oldest member of the board?

For you Doc...I was a freshmen at Ole Miss on September 30, 1962.

i was entering 1st grade at Mission de Dominica in Santo Domingo DR. without 30,000 troops to escort me to class.

A southern webmasters convention is a great idea. But how do we keep those yankee infiltrators from coming down here and guzzling up all the mint juleps and stealing all our barbeque secrets?

Easy - we'll just tell them its in the French Quarter - let them try to find it LOL

Well, I invaded the first Midwest meeting in Chicago. The Extreme guys and I talked about doing something in New Orleans at that meeting. We should do it. Those small meetings are valuable as far as networking and fellowship.

I have heard from many that the best meeting ever was the New Orleans on several years back.

That was the year that Internext was held in New Orleans - its a shame that it will never happen again - but with the people that plan these things locked into Vegas and Fla and the rates that they get - its got to be too profitable and New Orleans would not be :) Well - except for the webmasters that go to the shows - but of course - who are they? (no wonder so many people are boycotting the Fla show)
