Errrr... ahem... I think you VASTLY underestimate the amount of Permaculture
people in the Southeast.  No matter where the event is held, it would be
inconvenient for a lot of people - the U.S. is a big country.  But please
don't dismiss the number of Southerners who are doing important permaculture
work.  I am NOT trying to make this into an east-vs.-west or north vs. south
flame war - I'm a native of California.   I have also travelled to
permaculture events at places that are not convenient to me.  But if Bill is
going to be at a particular site for the purpose of doing real design work,
I think that's an excellent opportunity and there WILL be a lot of
reasonably local participants.
