Pretty close, 2 miles from the river but right on the train tracks, down in Protho Junction. It is only 6 miles from where I grew up, but the only thing that I remember about that place is that is where we went to buy cheap bottle rockets. There was no clock or alarm in the room, and I had to get up to run the airport shuttle in the morning, 'cause I knew Nick was going to be running late.

Gotta love those places that don't change the linens after every guest ...

Hey, he's an accountant and just wants to take advantage of the new exchange rate. By April your Canadian dollar will get you a lot more here in the states. :p

I'm working hard to make it to this one this year, and LR would be my first choice so I can see where the magic happens :p

My brother is getting married in March'08 in Mexico, so I do not think I can afford to make both trips...oh well I guess my brother will have to find another best man.... 
I will secretly second Matthew's vote of Toronto....but seriously, I think it should stay in LR, where it all started. |

I am thinking of making it this year if a date can bet set somewhat early. I like the idea of Vegas or LA. For me, it's a family deal. I want to get away for a few days, but I need some family time intersperced if I am going to use vacation days.
I'd love to see Vegas and spend some time there, but Disneyland would be cool too.
I think LR is a cool venue, but I get the idea you want this to grow into a much bigger event than it is. While that hurts the small feel of posters getting together, it also keeps some well-kept information from hitting the mass of people that could really benefit from it.
Then again, we already have an NSCA conference.

OK . .fellow Torontonians . .don't you want the heck outta here by winter's end ?
JP, the flight hubs are a bonus if you can make even Memphis ( although I loved the Vegas idea) . .if flights are cheap, we can cover your costs for the conference that much more . . .
Like I said- count on my push through precisionnutrition.com and goodlifefitness.com to the training teams . . .
A pleasure last time . .I'll keep tuning in . .

BTW- maybe your passion but us Canucks have had it up to here with ski hills by then . .so nix Reno
