Me neither friend, but unfortunately there are some who just won't
make the trek to Indy from the west coast.  Just like there are some
who won't make the trek from the east if we end up in Yellowstone or
Moab, either of which I would love.

I'm pretty well central now, but Indy is just so much more an east
coast locale, I think we'll lose pretty much anyone west of the
Rockies.  The reasons you advocate Indy are clear and valid.  I just
think we need something further west, even if we give up some location
appeal.

I think comparing this to the Steamboat festivities is apples and
oranges. You have many of the same people coming each year and yeah,
there's no question... it's a blast and they just do it, regardless.
This UPG is new and possibly a one time deal so I think it must be
handled differently.  We're trying to attract new buyers, not regular
customers, so to speak.  We gotta be Avis, not Hertz.
