[Coco] Anyone interested in creating a Southeastern Color ComputerConvention somewhere?

[Bill Pierce]

John, I'm 2 hours from you so that's not a problem for me. I'm about 14 miles north of Wilmington. The real problem is that a lot of Coconuts on the east coast are up above West Virginia. We have a few here down south, Kip is in SC I know, I think there's one or two in Georgia, some in Florida etc.
I don't know how many "east of the Mississippi" and west of the Appalatchens would be interested. I couldn't see more that 25-50 people showing up if even that many.
But it would be nice to know how many would come if it were done.

I would be very interested in something roughly in the area of
Burlington, NC (between Greensboro and Raleigh).  Without having done
any research at all, I would at least be open to fronting a chunk of
money to secure a venue if a 'critical mass' of attendees expressed
interest -- maybe even if just Roy Justus would promise to come! :-)

So if you could see yourself driving to the piedmont area of NC for
a weekend CoCo event, then speak up!
