[urq] UPG 2008 Planning

[Brandon Rogers]

If something happens in say Kansas City - We could make Colorado a
rallying point, certainly provide some accomodations - and than all
caravan to Kansas City.  Less than one full day drive from here.  That
could be super cool.

I agree Ed, when we got this ball started the goal was to try to make
something work that will allow the maximum number of owners and fans
attend ... hearing some east coast participants not being able to do
Jackson Hole makes it a non-starter in my book.  It really sounds like
Colorado doesn't meet the criteria either.  

Kansas City ... every time I hear that town I think of the quote from
one of my favorite movies ... "I left my Jag in Kansas City." ...
Richard Prior from Silver Streak.  Funny, there's a clip in that movie
where Richard and Gene are driving the XKE across the plains ... reminds
me of my own jaunts in the urq ... Gawd I love the open road!  Hey if KC
is a place that the folks from the right coast can have a better chance
of making, I say let's talk.  I have a friend who moved out there years
ago ... not an Audi fan, but he's definitely a car nut ... he might have
some suggestions about locations that would be scenic and offer driving
opportunities.  Seems to me we could look farther north too ... Fargo
perhaps?  :-)  There are a whole bunch of urqs north of the US border
... we should be able to accommodate them too, eh?  {Mum's a Newfie so I
can make those kind of jokes :}

Funny, I was thinking summer time for the meeting, mostly for school for
the daughter, but they do have a couple weeks off in the springtime, I
might be able to swing one of those times to do a UPG ...

I guess I'm not sure about locale though.  The original goal is/was to
have one gathering.  This would be a huge event if we could get the more
distant people to bite the bullet and come.  That's why being centrally
located is so important.  More important I think than it being a cool
destination in/of itself.

Jackson Hole doesn't really fit the bill then in my opinion.  Denver is
fine with me but more of a haul for those east than say, Omaha, which is
very much more centrally located geographically.  And there's a track
there we could play on, which is something that Denver can't currently
offer.  Off-track driving opportunites would probably be far superior in
Denver, but fraught with big-city commute problems.
