Rumor has it that Sridhar Ayengar may have mentioned

Ahhh, I spend half my days in the middle of Minnesota though. It looks to be
about 500 miles to your place, which I guess is do-able in a van. I'm not sure
how close my nearest other VCF would be, but I suspect it's a lot more than that!

Sault Ste. Marie... sure. It's a smallish town, which is why I was being
somewhat facetious when I mentioned it... ;-) I'd posited in the past that I'd be happy
to help organize a VCF-C
(Canada) if it were somewhere close to me in Ontario (read: Sault
Ste. Marie, maybe Sudbury) and I'd help work at (but in a more
limited capacity) if those planning it actually wanted to hold it in
a "populous area" ;-) say, Toronto / Ottawa / Oshawa.
But Sault Ste. Marie, ON is much more of a trek for someone from
Britain than Wall, NJ is. and customs might be a lot less sticky for dragging
machines across the pond to Canada vs. the US, especially since 9/11.
Yes, I'm not sure how much fun that'd be. Every time I come over from the UK I
want to bring some toy or other with me, but I can seen the border guys having
a total fit with that :-) I suspect that if it's all in a shipping container
then it's a bit easier, though...
Being facetious again, I could add a 0) If he did come
to the Sault, he
wouldn't have to worry about cab rides or lining up reliable heavy-duty
transportation for his UK machines - Methinks my '04 Avalanche should
handle the task nicely; and still transport 4 adults comfortably...

Someone just down the road from me is selling an ex-school bus for peanuts...
lots of room for vintage systems in that! ;)
