Hell no.

I wonder what the YN staff thinks about this...

It doesn't rule out Virginia where Lisa is from

YN has had conventions in NY before, I believe, though I don't think they were for NMers, but I do know that NickJ or Kidd or someone was a keynote speaker there. Or atleast that's what I remember hearing.

Well that rules out everywhere but San Fran.

Itd be good if it was a city where someone from YN lived, because they would be able to facilitate (sic) airport transportation, lodging, meeting area, etc...

None taken. God knows I'm not.

I wouldn't be a fan of any place in the South. No offense.

Although now that I have a thought

Theres a lot of events that happen that are focused towards the Youth... for example Skills USA.

It might be better to do something in conjunction with them where you have teens that are dedicated to something so much they come from all over the country to Kansas City every year to compete in their trade.. (I know because I've been Hooah Teamworks 2004)

That would be cool

In fact I have found the perfect spot for one... it has everything you need in one building.

Good point. Austin would indeed be better.

Houston isn't exactly centrally located

Or Houston.

Scratch that... Austin... pretty liberal town, in a conservative state would be more receptive to this kind of thing.

I know that. But I'm saying that New York is too far away for just one meeting. You need multiple meetings in multiple cities. Not just New York.

even better...risk, needs to be a major city, not Lincoln, Nebraska

Maybe like various youth organizations at once.... so we won't only get YN public, butother concerned teens as well.

Because the youth of the nation dont give a rats hinder... the vast majority are all to satisfied to sit on their arse all day, and then get bored then cause trouble. We need to target as many 13-15 year olds as we can and drag them kicking and screaming back into reality before reality hits them.

Why aren't youth in the nation as proactive as us though? I mean, I'd be willing to get out there, it's just that there would be such a small following...

That is indeed a good idea. Having more than one would create the perfect meeting environment.

The perfect solution would be to have more than one... have a NMer guest speaker, invite School leaders, community officials, congressmen, and senators etc... Something to get the youth out and pumped up about their place in a nation that's depending on them.


It would be cool... Now if we can come up with some sponsership and such that would be cool.

God I think I got a new project I love keeping busy.
