You got it. The other level of this is that it puts it right in the lap of the chapters, but does that mean a whole new meet must be scheduled? The answer is no.

Not unless you want to do that just for this. When the pictures are all posted up, consider this - wherever they came from, they are about activeties that FTE people are into, wherever they are, and whatever they may be, so a broad spectrum of who we are and what we do is presented.

We may end up seeing things we never thought of, or had any idea of. And I personally like that aspect of it quite a lot! Who knows what we will see?

Mark my words here well - it will be a voyage around the known FTE world, by digital imagery and stories about them.

In the end - does a chap leader have the final say, or does the chapter? It's tuff to say sometimes. In your case, I hope I never piss you off badly! I'd expect a "CREW" down here within a day, and we'll see who has the most bullets....

Never installed it, but the concept is there on the boards.

Theory is that the initial burn exhausts all the air, but the returning CLAP into the vacuum is more destructive than the initial burst. it can be built out of parts from any hardware store....

Frankly, I just know too much stuff.

For what it's worth, I'd like to see the different chapters within a region plan the events on different days within the time frame specified. This would allow some of the FTE 'ers who are able to attend numerous events.
A traveling FTE correspondent, bringing the news of previous events to the next and the next. It would tie alot of it together.

Not a challenge at all. This could be done by any number of people, the more the merrier! My main idea regarding this issue is to plan the various events within a specific region so that it will be possible for a person to attend all, or most of them if they so desire.

( if you ARE challenged, you WILL rise to the contest)

yeah I know that, but travel around the world unpaid?

I think not.

Especially within a month, and with a dog coming with them

It would require underwriting by a corporation, and customs understandings. I can't leave Rufuss behind me.

Rufuss IS the ticket! Dogs open lots of doors.
Plus, you don't have to go around the world. You take reports from around the world and compile them. FTE Central.

Hm, the outline map - possibly hosted on another site, and the rallies causing areas of it to turn blue or something like that....

I think it is well worth while to see it kicked over and talked about in the coming months, even though we are a long ways out from the target month.

There was a lot of initial interest, let's keep it at least turning over at idle so that as many as possible are aware of the idea....
