Wow,waht a blast to meet everyone that I've only seen as names on the boards! Kudos to the organizers for such a killer weekend! I know that was a lot of work. Wassa-you absolutely crack me up! You're great. Shilo-you are the sweetest,it was a pleasure...

I'll second that emotion- this was an outrageous event, from the boxes to the people to the organizers. 3 days was SUCH a tease- I can think of about 50 people without even trying that I'd like to hit the trails with some more- unfortunately most of t...

Sounds like there should be an event similiar in nature on the eastern side of the country... hmmm food for thought. mud

Sounds like there should be an event similiar in nature on the eastern side of the country... hmmm food for thought. Do you really want to go there??? Do we need to get a committee together??? Swap off on each coast each year??? Happydaze

Do you really want to go there??? My business card does say event planner.... : )

But next year is the LB Con...... What do you think??? Ray

I'm not planning an event for next year - you are ; )

so does mine =) hehe, and i love this idea... (when do we start! haha)

If you plan it they/we will come! Grumpy Grinch

Thinking, thinking... First step to planning.... mud

Thinking, thinking... First step to planning.... Location, location, location. *S

Adirondacks...of course!! In September, it will be beautiful there.... there is a Scout camp right outside Tupper Lake.... Maple Leaf Red ...who really likes the scenery up there in the fall

I am not a party planner mud...but if you go that way, I would help if I could! :D

who really likes the scenery up there in the fall Fall being the key word here. Anything in July or early August might very well force people to choose between an East Coast event and LBCon.

Fall never being my word . . . it leaves out all the teachers and most of the kid boxers who have to be in school. LBCON is in July . . . why not late August? Other vacations vary nationally, even regionally . . . We already had to lose out on Live...

there are a ton of eastern schools that start in early august, so that wouldn't solve the problem of teachers and kids in school, unfortunately.

Late August still could leave out lots of boxers. School starts around here (Asheville, NC) by Aug. 15th. The Adirondacks would be great for a location. I've only been there once in my life and loved it.

Part of the reason that Live and Breathe was in the fall was because all of the camps that are viable for something of this nature all full all summer long. AND if you plan it the same year as LBCon, you're going to be making people choose between them...

excellent excellent points, especially with the rising prices of air travel

all of the camps that are viable for something of this nature all full all summer long. Indeed...unfortunately...that is true LBCon for some reason I thought it would NOT be next year precisely for this reason!! An event of this magnitude takes lots o...

Not my idea, just my response to someone else's idea. If you want an East Coast event, St. Louis is not East Coast. It was picked to be a central area. If people want only one major event, then LB Con is it for 2009. I know I'd have liked to go wes...

Speaking as a West-Coaster who would LOVE to come to L&B East. Please do not have it the same year as LBCon! I would have to choose between the two and how could I possibly live with my self then? ;-) Ki Spiralseekers *Who is trying to figure out how...

Ki, it's called road trip honey! I'm going, join me :)

Ki, it's called road trip honey! I'm going, join me :) Got any extra room in the Van???? I'll bring the pencils! -wassamatta_u

An event of this magnitude takes lots of time to plan...I understand they worked on Live & Breathe for almost 2 years I believe that Chadams planning for LBCon will also be two years in the making. Please do not have it the same year as LBCon! I would...

Got any extra room in the Van???? I'll bring the pencils! If Wassa's bringing the pencils then I'll bring the bandaids. (how many times did I hear you say OUCH?!)

Okay - everyone - step away from the edge. Maybe we should let Live and Breathe settle before we start rooting around to try and plan the next big event. mud

Wassa, you're welcome in my van anytime. I'll save you a seat :)

Think of all the boxes you could find on that road trip - sounds like fun!
