Is there any kind of interest in having an expo in New England?

my wife and I are heading to Maine (Bar Harbor, Camden) and Boston
(Residence Inn downtown) on vacation in the next week or so...any good
places to play in any of those areas?

Thanks,

John

Yes (read PLEASE)!

I think it would be a MONSTER hit!!!!

Boston is a great convention city.

Hartford Connecticut would be a great place to have it. There is an Expo
Center, cheap rooms, plenty of restaurants and easy access from Boston, NY
or any place in New England.

The general Manchester area isn't bad, either, particularly when you consider
that's the airport that most folks coming into the area would want to use
(Boston's Logan Airport is a nightmare these days). Couple that with no state
sales tax and there's a pretty good incentive for New Hampshire.

I'd certainly be willing to help organize something in this neck of the woods.

When I lived there I wanted to go to something like this... Wished
there was something...

Closest thing was the Cherry Hill auction, a hike from NH.

Bleh!

Hoep it works out!!!

I was interested back in 1990, and along with some friends, we had New
England PinFest(TM) from 1991-1995, then we got kinda burned out.
Primary lesson: you cannot hold down the size and scope of these events,
because people are always asking for more/bigger/longer.

Hartford lacks so much character as a city.
My vote would be for Portsmouth, NH or Portland, ME.

That's the place.

Didn't you think that was about as perfect a location as you could get,
or what?!

A lot of people showed, but what a bunch of junk! I haven't seen them
come back, I'd go again if just to heckle them!
