Duggeh. A long and thoughtful post you had there, with lots of good points.
Its certainly a catch-22 in there. Especially when it comes to those of us who want a minimum amount of attenders before we travel long distances to attend a meeting. Both when it comes to us Head-Fi'ers and vendors.

Like you I have a geographical location which eliminates me from taking any (or at least not much) part in arranging such a meeting.
UK is fine for me, as long as its close to an airport with direct flights from/to Oslo Airport.

Actually, it's YONGE. We have a Quay (key), too.

Most likely St. Mike's, which is right downtown. The College/Bathurst area has the most fun. Not quite as schwanky as the downtown core, but more character and better bars with better crowds.

LA would be fine, as would DC/baltimore. I would love to have a meet in the midwest, but I there are not enough members.

There are those who treat music as a convenience.
And then there are those who recognize it as an art.

How about a meet with 50+ people? 30 people for a meet in LA, San Jose, New York, Boston is a pretty easy number to get.

I don't know if I am the only one who knows this, but shipping via USPS to hawaii is the same as shipping to anywhere in the US. Alaska is also the same price.
