Along with your occasional after-market modification.

recabling does look more pleasing aesthetically when done well.

The cost of these meets is substantial and the vendors primarily foot the bill, but the fact is that vendors will not take a risk on a small turnout and it would be very difficult for US vendors to bring a real demo to the EU.
The time differences make some of this difficult, but JP#s suggested that we just do a coordinated international meet weekend. The US, EU, Canadian, Asian, etc, meets could all take place over one weekend, but that would mean some people would have to choose which one to attend and some vendors might be caught up in that same choice.
unfortunately the reality of factoid #1 might make simultaneous multi-meets financially prohibitive.
here's a concept, since many folks regard nyc as the greatest city i the world (and one can reasonably travel there from virtually anywhere there are head-fiers) why not have all the (inter)nat meets here and different crew can host it each yr!

Only works if you have local people starting off the organizing, there's a lot more ground work leading up to it, and not all of it can be done remotely. It would end up with the same people organizing it each year. You up for it?
And not everyone thinks NYC is the greatest city in the world. :evil:

I'd be happy to work with others on it.

-Ed
that's clear. hey, i'm a new yorker and i'm not sure about it!
Yeah, what about a Cayman Islands International Meet? Huh, Wayne?
-Ed
Why don't we just all pile in Wayne's new huge *** RV and do a cross country national meet.
But seriously, Baltimore is a great city and would be a great place to have a meet. I split my time between NJ and Boston so I could help out in either place. An idea for the next International Meet though. Could we have it at a time that isn't the beginning of May when all the College students have final exams.
