I have attended the last 4 GIG conventions (North Carolina, Denver,

Chicago and Portland). I asked Kupper about having a GIG

convention in LA because of Disneyland, as well as Las Vegas and

Hawaii!! She said probably not, but I can't remember why not!! She did

mention that they try to have one in the east, then one in the west,

then one somewhere in the middle so it would be convenient for everyone.

I would go to a GIG convention in a heartbeat if they held one in LA,

Las Vegas or Hawaii!!

Thanks for the wonderful (and detailed) information.

Armed with that, I'm feeling confident that we will

have a good trip, and my daughter is feeling like she

can actually leave the house and go somewhere she

really wants to go! I'll contact Chef below and

let you all know how it goes (not happenning until mid

april.)
