We considered this when planning Furry Weekend Atlanta. The problem is that we simply ran out of dates that were viable and this was the best we could do that would disappoint the least amount of people. A lot of people on the east-coast simply don't have the funds to go to California.
Besides, this isn't exactly the first time two conventions have been held close together. Conifer NW and Mephit Furmeet are seperated by about the same amount of time and both drew large crowds this year. We think there are now enough furs to go around. :)
