Subject: [Leica] LUG convention?

Off in some thread entirely unrelated to the topic, several people started 
discussing the idea of a LUG convention.

The LUG will be 16 years old in a month (it was founded on 7 April 1992) and 
I think the largest gathering of us that has ever happened is maybe a dozen 
of us claiming a section of the bar at an LHSA meeting.

There are as of this moment 1038 members of the LUG. I recognize a dozen 
names from the 1992 roster of people who were subscribed then and are still 
here. Another 3000 have passed through, quitting as their patience waned or 
their interests changed.

I think that if there was a LUG convention and 40 people attended, it would 
be a roaring success. If 80 people attended we'd definitely have to make it 
a regular event (perhaps every second year).

Thoughts?
