You use the different tourneys as a way to visit new cities..much like I do. I have been all over the country following EF,BB,MF. But at some point kids, significant other, bills and life in general does not allow us to do it, either not as much or not at all. I don't think you have a wife or kids? So you always have to be willing to step in the other guys shoes.
Miggle has to cut back on over head, they no longer use Silverman marketing, last year I think we unloaded the trucks for them, so I don't think they hire moving companies anymore?
The fact that Miggle is having it, is exciting to most because that's where it started for most guys. I would say most of the EF community met or found out about the game being alive thru Miggle. (Including myself) For me if they announced they were having it on the moon I would try to go. It's the biggest gathering of any and all the tourneys...plus it's FREE!!!!!!!! No fees, no membership no nothing. You go to Miggle to pay homage, to show respect to the Landsmans for doing what they have done. If they had it in their warehouse guys would go.
I hope Miggle announces during the dinner that they will be in Ohio next year and end all the waiting!
The MFCA Convo is trying to be the Miggle of the summer time. For it, the draw is totally different. You have so much NFL activities going on that you could forget there is MF going on. But the biggest draw is that the MFCA is done by all of us....the members. It is for us, by us! We donate our things, we donate our time (we need more support to make it even better)

If money was no problem, heck yeah we would move these things all across the country and maybe even overseas, and everyone would come to everything. But this isn't Harry Potter, or Disney World, so until somebody hits the big one, and throws every cent of it into this sport/hobby we are going to have to pick and choose where & what we go to, and the people throwing the events are going to have to go where they feel is best for them and their tourney. Period!

The F.O.T.H will be at both events as long as I am in good health.
