Help me out here Weirdwolf and Don Smith, but this is what I think we are talking about as far as unity goes. We need to have an event where we put out best foot forward in the eyes of the public and TV. Can we truly show as a hobby what we have to offer without having Reggies figures and stadiums and without Reggie himself there? Can we show our best without having Buzzball figures and bases represented? Can we neglect all of Miggles bases and assessories? What about the best boards out there - Watts and Porche to name a couple! What about dividers, passing sticks, decals (DM included!)? We have to have AB there to demonstrate his multi-stop! We need all the big names and all the products. Don't exclude anyone for the sake of the hobby. And we when all get together, we need to behave like adults and show respect for others.

At that same event, we need to have a designated place for the general public to be educated on the game and to donate merchandise to get people interested. We need to have DVD's running showing actual games to demonstrate that the figures don't always go around in circles. The main objective of the event is to grow the hobby and make it flourish like it should be growing. The hobby will take off if presented in the proper light.
