The problem is...WHERE IS RIKKI?????????????

If Jedi's willing to let people to help, then I know they'll be more than happy to (Myself included). |
I'm all about help. At the same time I'm all about quality help and not quantity. I'm also about people being fair and not letting their head get to big. Sorry, I had a very bad experience on a car forum, so bad that I back out of their planning committee and ended up banned over planning a gathering as they did some very stupid ideas.
I think if too many get involved in planning then it gets nowhere. Yes, more ideas are great, but I think as the decision makers the group should stay small or else you get nothing done. Like say the committee was....you (Dew), me, and Brion....there's nothing to say that Camjen couldn't be in charge of say hotel research for that area and just feed the information to the group. And then maybe Carwy in charge of the comedy acts, lol. And Rikki in charge of say local event research.
The thing is, before we go for sponsorship we need to mainly settle on a location and time. Those are the two keys that I think can make or break an even in attendance. An example, the car website had a gathering in Ohio every year because the main planners lived in Ohio and Michigan. The event was a camping weekend therefore could be anywhere. They didn't think of moving it down south so that Florida members would want to drive, instead, they wanted it close to where the most active members were. THey didn't think maybe the most active members would mind driving 6 instead of 2 hours which could shave 4 hours off of those down south.
I would like it to ultimately be huge and I think it's a huge possibility. I just want to know,
how and who decides what the committee will be?
