or is that a banned topic now? 
I'm an optimist.
The yin and yang of TDI Club.I tend to make negative remarks
Those that are thinking (even remotely) of organizing a TDIFest in an area, for 2014, 2015, or even 2016 feel free to start a new thread in this section.....
Are you serious??? have you not read any of this???Pick 2014 location by mathamatical calculation, pick the spot nearest to the most TDIClub users. For once, try to include people.
Aw shucks, thanks!Very nice graphics!!![]()
No direct through link to California so I guess I'm out.Here is another highlighting the interstates that go DIRECTLY to/through St. Louis Missouri:
All this is part of why I think the STL is an excellent candidate and it being here in 2014 would be a timely benefit to growing the event and reaching more and newer members of TDI club. It the 3rd farthest west ever and very very central to all of the US east of the Rockies. Where there are interstates there is population, and many many folks are near equidistant from Denver to DC, and Texas and Florida to St. Paul.![]()
You can choose route 66 or I-40 to I-44No direct through link to California so I guess I'm out.![]()
Well that's your fault for living in California! You know how they like to make your life difficult.Ah, but that is not "direct" as I'd have to change Interstates!![]()
BOR-ING!then I could take 80 to the 55 junction then south to St. Louie.
Unfortunately there is this HUMOUNGOUS pond between CA and HI so I can't take my TDI there! However, TDIFest in Hawaii IS intriguing."Go West, young man!"
At least it doesn't take us 95 years to win one in own stadium!STL makes sense, if you can't have the World Series Title the least we could do is have the 'Fest there![]()
Other than Wrigley Field for the Cubbies (built 1914), no other stadium is even as close to being that old. The third oldest was built in 1962.At least it doesn't take us 95 years to win one in own stadium!![]()
I do like your Spock-like approach of thinking,Is there a map of where the this web site users are? An equation would calculate the center by weighting the distances by user count. California for instance with it's many users would "pull" the center to it because it has weight, say a higher percentage. A math geek would do it before breakfast. This should be considered whenever the site is chosen, not the only factor, but over years it should grossly cover the most users. Other factors would be fun/family factor, facilities, and a few effs more.
