International Convention?

[atonal@telusplanet.net]

John, John & Robert, 

Perhaps the question of hosting was addressed in previous posts, 
but two conventions in Canada 20 years apart and a failed bid for 
the 2001 Convention for Calgary (remember, customs problems, as 
John R. mentioned) doesn't make it in the International class as 
say, a G8 summit. And speaking of which, doesn't an international 
event attract protesters these days? 

Regardless,  the naming of the convention isn't really the issue here
anyway, you can call it the Pan-Galactic Sentient Gathering of
Vibrational Frequency Manipulators and someone will still take
offence. How about a National convention with international 
attendees? or how about just "The PTG Convention"? It's an annual 
event, and other events are distinguished by 'Regional' or 'Seminar'. 

Food for thought on a rainy day,

Regards,
