You are correct.
For multiple reasons.
Number one being, the whole purpose of having acreage is to get away from crowds. I’m sure as hell not going to host one.
Number 2, that one guy.

It’s a lot of work.

The best option is to hit Vegas together. Everyone does their own thing during the day and comes together to have dinner and hit some bars in the evening.

Several of us did Vegas together awhile back. A bunch of us drove in from the west/west coast. Olivier (GrandSportC3) flew from Florida and rented a big van (for everyone that flew in) to use. We had a pretty good crowd with everyone that drove and flew in, plus those that met up with us that lived in Vegas. One of the guys that lived in Vegas hosted a BBQ one of the nights.

It was fun. And there was no pressure for someone to plan activities for everyone’s day.

We'd never get Yadkin and Lars or Tiki to come to Vegas. And Doug? Fuggitaboutit.

Excellent idea, though!

I’d host something at my house this summer but they wouldn’t come to California, either. They might get left coast cooties.

True. Beautiful spaces. The cities are such a small part of the state.

But you are there which makes it a definite no-go for all of us with working brains. The rest of the forum will have to decline, except for GTO who loves to troll you.

America is amazing in this sense. It allows a no class ass-hat to lead a first class life. Thank goodness for karma. The balance it provides is always worth the wait.
