2018 Orlando
2019 Salt Lake City

So, yes, there's Orlando, but that's in six years! The closest we'll be to you in the foreseeable future is Vegas in 2014. The good news is that that's when the VM is returning to the International competition, so I should be there if you or any other SGTers want to make the trek to Sin City.
Hey ! That is great news ! do you know which venue it will be held at yet?

in any event, allow me to volunteer as your family's personal tour guides when in town !

Just had a chance to watch this. The Safari is a favortie for my wife and I, and we have been known to do it as many as 5 times a day. Not that we are obsessed, just to be clear.

BW, it really looks like you gave a great Safari. I don't specifically remember you, but you could well have been one of the many great ones we've had over the years. You have a great voice and easy manner, skills I'm sure you're making the best of in whatever you do.

Arggh. I'd love to, and I love Toronto, but I won't be there. We're not competing until 2014 so VM isn't going, and I'm not going individually -- with two kids closing in on college, I've got to save every nickel. Sorry, I'd love to have met you there!

As for the Toronto venues, here's the page for that convention. Looks like the contests will be held in the Air Canada Centre, and the Westin Harbour Castle will be the headquarters hotel.

Ah, I've been to Vegas -- and unlike that day on Hollywood Blvd, I can retreat from the weirdness of the street (into the slightly more respectable weirdness of a barbershop convention!).

We'll definitely talk closer to time.

What a drag! I work at Air CanadaCentre frequently. In fact I did part of the Microsoft WPC there last week, and I'll be there for the Jlo concerts next week.
I understand about the college costs. Having two headed that way would be terrifying!
