I'm all in for a western US gathering! Doesn't matter where, I'll try to be there! Our club is holding a games trial the weekend afterwards, so I hope it doesn't affect attendance... but I'm still in.
Being in the southern-most end of the west coast, practically everywhere is a long drive. 6 hours is nothing for me, but I have managed 12-13 hour driving days... I plan on going to Gillette, even though it is about a 20 hour drive. That seems "close" to me for a major event. But of course, everyone has their travel limits. I'm a bit on the crazy side regarding travel...
