So if, say, in Summer of 2011, there's an RI conference,

[RocketMan]

I love the West Coast, but I'd be coming in from Europe... So eastern seaboard would be more practical that way. Never been to Canada, so this would be a chance to right that wrong AND have a helluva summer vacation on the side.

I think that'd be about an 8 hour drive for me, so, in.

[elfismiles]

would you be up for it? And what would you like to see?

It's early days, but I have some ideas, and I'm looking at venues. Toronto, most likely. And not prohibitively expensive.

Awesome!

Suggestions:

- Team up with your publisher for speakers...

* Jeff Wells (I think you have the inside scoop on getting him to commit)
* Hank Albarelli (Needs more exposure for this definitive MKultra history)
* Nick Bryant (VERY RI)
* Jeremy Begin (G.O.D.)
* Peter Levenda (VERILY RI)

- Get some other speakers...

* Peter Dale Scott (Parapolitical science)
* Eric Wilson and/or Tim Lindsey (Government of the Shadows: Parapolitics and Criminal Sovereignty)
* Dean Radin (Parapsychology science)

... and be sure to have some of those jellyfish chandeliers at the venue...

Good idea. I haven't approached any potential speakers yet, but there are several Trine Dayers on my wishlist.

Outside speakers plus workshops led by RI'ers- that would be dope! Not just a party, but also a party...

Oh, blimey, here come all the cooks. Chef Wells may chase us out of his kitchen at some point.

I say we do it in Patagonia with Sepka hosting live coverage on FOX.

Stephen Merchant? Hahaha. The guy's half my size, but not in height (I realize that's wha the joke is all about).

I would love to see workshops, discussion panels, etc. taken from the top 10 topics discussed here. I'm sure it would be a lively learning experience for all.

This could turn into something BIG: RigIntCon 2011 Toronto.

[norton ash]

Stephen Merchant's height is 6 ft 7 in

Okay, SDBG, now I'm totally looking forward to meeting you.

[SanDiegoBuffGuy]

Norton, I edited my last post. I realized that I should have clarified that. Oops. I do weigh more than he does, I'm pretty sure of it.
