I would in an ideal world. I feel a little concerned about potential theft. How has that been handled at watch meet-ups in the past?

Great times several years ago.

Central location based on the geographic of the attendees. Last one, apparently, was in Las Vegas.

Anyone who attended the last one: how many people attended?

Actually, re-reading the thread from the last one, it appears that TRS does not want discussion about organizing a convention on the TRF. Therefore, I’m going to pipe down.

Mods, feel free to lock this thread, I was unaware when I started it of the prior convention issues.

Here’s the deal. I’m holding it this fall in Juarez. All you need to do is Venmo me $549 and your seat is secured. Includes 1 modelo, a firm handshake and we split the bar tabs. Food gon be extra. Credit card must be on file for cost overruns. Thank you to my TRF family for understanding.

I've organized and participated in many TRF GTG's over the years. Met many great members who I consider friends. However, the current environment makes me weary of attending any publicized events and would only meet w/ those I already know and only if it was organized privately.
