[Killietalk] One location for the convention

["matt kaufman" <igotadose at hotmail_com>]

Showing off my innate American ignorance of foreign geography, I think that 
you can pretty much travel anywhere in Netherlands by car in a reasonably 
short period of time, so having the convention always in the same location 
works pretty well - everyone that wants to can drive to attend. By my rough 
calculations it looks like the Netherlands is around 200 by 120 miles 
(excluding offshore islands). For comparison, the distance between NYC and 
Washington, DC is 240 miles, which would be longer than a trip from one end 
of the Netherlands to another (distance-wise, dunno about time).

So, the suggestion is of interest, but realize it isn't as convenient to 
have the convention in one location anywhere in the US as it would be in the 
Netherlands. NYC, Chicago, LA, as there's lots of airline service, but of 
course air travel is expensive. Personally, if I had my way, we'd always 
have the convention in Orlando or Tampa as the family could attend.

Matt, in the PNW
