for us midwesterners/southern folk that missed the smf gathering. i got summersville,wv locked in for october. but, i was thinking maybe for spring before we all get started on comps or festivals or just a winter breaker. a gathering around here somewhere. we have barren river state park & a great lake but we're (not just cause it's close to my house) 2.5 hrs fron indiana, 1.5 hrs from nashville,and about 4-8 hrs from wv,knoxville, or n.c. any thoughts on a regional spring gathering ? maybe even up in louisville ?

I didn't know that Kentucky folk considered themselves Midwestern. I guess that if you can't be from Kansas, you can at least pretend!

Just kidding by the way! KY is about 6 to 8 hours (via I-70 to Evansville Indiana then southward) from me so it would be a pretty heft drive for me as well. But there are enough folks near you that it might work out.

I think the main thing holding people back from attending these events would be distance. If it were closer I would be there in a heart beat.
