[Coco] Anyone interested in creating a Southeastern Color ComputerConvention somewhere?

[John W. Linville]

I would be very interested in something roughly in the area of
Burlington, NC (between Greensboro and Raleigh).  Without having done
any research at all, I would at least be open to fronting a chunk of
money to secure a venue if a 'critical mass' of attendees expressed
interest -- maybe even if just Roy Justus would promise to come! :-)

So if you could see yourself driving to the piedmont area of NC for
a weekend CoCo event, then speak up!
