Let's see Memphis,

Plenty of places to meet at.
Main convention center is downtown.
Short pop across the River is possibly cheaper rooms with plenty of places to eat at and a dog racing track.
Short pop down to Mississippi are the casinos.
Beal Street.
Bar-B-Q contest in October.
And there are probably some Elvis fans on here too.

Actually the casinos hold alot of conventions down there, ADMIN just curious where are you located?

Hell with the convention I'm just coming to hang out with Barren. And as far as that whole "copy write" on the 007 my good Barren...I'll take 001, just because..there has to be a first. Or we can have a "who can polish off the most out of the traveling cooler" contest...

Sirscrapalot - Bartender 001 :P

I say go for it and pick a spot. There is no location that will will please everyone. If it works out to your liking maybe next year do it in a different location. There are other conventions that pick different parts of the country every year. This seems to help with people located at one coast or another.

I would totally go!! Sorry - finally getting a second to catch up around here - Hopefully it ends up being located close to me though... either way I'll be there physically if I can and in spirit if all else fails!

"I survived the SMF convention of 2014, and all I got to scrap was this shirt"

Sirscrapalot - I'll take 2 please.

If you drive across, you can use an enhanced driver's license. I think the cost was around $40.00 when I got mine. A passport is at least double that.

would try to go

Great idea, am in. Regardless of the time of the year, holding it during the week would save money and highlight the freedom scrappers enjoy. Las Vegas would allow a tour to Pawn Stars. Bringing in American Pickers as a guest speaker would allow a discussion about the difference between scrap, antiques, and trash among us newbies.

It is known that the winter is a slow time for our profession so money is limited. The other side is if we could save time and money by saving for it during more profitable times and take a vacation during the slow times, we are ahead. Guess is that this is tax deductible. For those working full time and scrapping during free time, when would it be easier to take a vacation. Just an idea.
