Us guys in the Midwest have to drive 15+ hours each year just to attend 1 to 2 shows either in the east coast or the west coast and yet you never see us complain. Us guys here are dedicated. For those that are not willing to drive more than 4 hours for anything are not that dedicated to show up and contribute to the scene. Most of the guys you see that are willing to travel far and beyond are usually diehard guys that love what they do and love to share their experiences with the world.

Bro, I live in the Midwest! I know! I have to drive three hours to get to any small event in Chicago, and I don't have a problem with that.

But we have to look at the statistics front of us. When we look at our member base and their listed locations, the majority are in Cali/Vegas, the next largest is east coast, and then comes the Midwest and the south. Our goal is to pull in as many members as possible and statistically speaking, it has to be in one of the two "86 hubs".

As much as I would love to hold a Chicago event (it would make my life so much easier), it doesn't make sense on paper...
