I can see what your are saying if one want and intimate gathering then perhaps a local fur meet is best option over running a fur convention and not like furfright blasting updates all over the net like on Portland Oregon PDX furs site, keeping promotion local.
It is another issue that bugs me about fury and convention I find odd to dumb: spending thousands to travel to an out of area fur con (expect maybe antrhocon)just to socialize or attend the same panels as local furcon. I already thinking dropping Rainfurres if Furlandia become viable option. What is need is to structure fur cons along the line of Science Fiction where we have local cons like Orycon, next step is regional like Westercon and then something like the Worldcon.
