Energy and money will be spent on this trip...is there no way to combine them?
I remember suggesting that a major FREEP be planned for our meeting. This is ready-made.
While it would be great to have a Freep as part of our convention, I really don't see how the timing could be worked out doing it all in one weekend. Hopefully, since the two events will be a month apart people will be able to plan for both.

I agree!
***NOTICE***
The following is a "SUGGESTION". In no way is it my intention to undermine the efforts of those who have graciously stepped up to the challenge to coordinate such an event(s).
(IMO, FWIW, spending a day listening to speakers strategerize(sp) future plans and then going our own separate ways is a bit anti-climatic. And as 3D-Joy mentioned, Energy and money spent X's 2 will be pushing it for participants.)
Everyone could gather at a Friday night meeting place and work out details for the Tea Party. (I'll be getting the bullhorn tuned up and ready to go!).
At the gathering perhaps someone could speak as planned for the FR convention.
On the day of the party we meet for a brunch (breakfast/pre-party lunch) and have a speaker give their presentation. Once we've had chow and a FR pep talk we then motor (or walk!) to Lake Eola!
Following the Tea Party a Post FReep briefing with adult beverages would be a bunch of fun! We could have our last guest speaker reflect on the events of the day and what to plan for next!
There's my $.02 worth. Either way, I plan to be there!
Please feel FRee to FReep mail me and flame me there and not waste the bandwidth on this thread.
FRegards!
