Some interesting points have been brought up in THIS thread about the interest in hosting do's and the sheer amount of "big" do's we are trying to fit into our calendars.

As far as I know, SEA has become the most repeated "do" spot. Do people really look forward to coming back year after year? Or is it time to pass the torch on to another city?

There are a few cities that can support a do without any of us out of towners showing up, and can have a get together any time they want to, but for those who want to host a "big" event with a lot of fly in guests...do we need or want to have limit?

At what point do you have to worry that when you set a date that you are potentially "taking" participants away from someone else's event? Or is that something anyone really takes into consideration?

For example..someone suggested SEADo weekend as a date for BoSoxFan's MSP event. Would I be upset if half of the SEA contingent bailed to go to MSP instead? Probably.. but with the population of flyertalkers being what it is, I'm sure we could get equal turnout of people who wouldn't have considered going to the other place anyway, so is there really a conflict?

What are your expectations when you fly into an event. Does size matter? Are you more likely to fly in if you know there is going to be a large group over a small one?

I realize I'm rambling now..so I'll go to bed.

Thoughts anyone??
