2016 is to soon , some time in 2017 or 2018 would be a better date .
I have been on the committee and staff for a couple of small conventions of 1000 to 5000 attendees .
You all ready have your committee leader , but he needs a staff of 5 to 10 committed people to donate their time to make it work with one of them a lawyer .
A location were there is enough of a fan base , close to a major airport hub with a wiling hotel that want guests during a slack time , with the necessary facilities .
Provide Grumpy with a willing Staff and get 50 to 100 preregistered attendees for seed money by the end of 2016 and you will have your AK fest .
