I think it is a good idea. I also think it depends on what the person is expecting from it. If we go into it with open minds, and remember its NOT Nopi, it s an alternative. It could be something spectacular. It may blossom an opportunity for different enthusiasts to enjoy something different than the NOPI Nats. Don't get me wrong I've absolutely enjoyed NOPI and am disappointed it s not here this year. However, there is power in numbers, it makes everything a little more exciting. I will go just to see something different.

I don't expect it to be as organized as NOPI, but I wouldn't expect a first year event to have the organization down to a science- as NOPI was able to do over several years.

I think its a wonderful idea, just don't go and expect NOPI.

Ive got some great ideas, ill just say-Hands on and user friendly would be awesome. There is TONS of room.

BTW, if anyone is trying to do something with the AMS Event, and need some help. Get in touch.
