But I hope we can get another scheduled sometime in the next 12 months.
By getting more people involved, though, you can get more money to pay for things. I'm sure, for instance, you could get quite a few people in the NYC area to put in money to go to something (certainly more than Toledo). The Minneapolis area seems to have a disproportionately large number of players, and I'm sure LA would be good. You could do a feasibility test to see who would be willing to pay and where most of those willing to pay would want to have it, and then see what the costs involved would be.

If I were to put one together for NYC (which I may one day), it would be "unofficial", not an OOTP-sponsored sort of event, and would probably be more of a "get to see other people in person" kind of thing than anything. An official convention has all sorts of fun and games, from what I gather.
