<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Yu Xue XianXian said: " Single day
events probably won't pull in anyone else but the locals right now anyways.
Few people<BR> can afford to day trip from afar, seeing it as not
worth the effort and cost."<BR><BR>What would be so wrong if we had just a
"locals only" event? I think one of our major problems is that our barony is
too splintered. When I posted on the list about whether Elfsea was camping
together at Steppes Warlord, I got ONE response. ONE. I know many people
day-tripped or hoteled (like we did...sorry!), but there was no real interest
in having a Bardic or camping together.<BR><BR>We need to work on getting back
that family feel that Elfsea had many years ago. We are all too focused on
ourselves and not enough on the health of our barony and our relationship to
each other. We should be a family. It was like this before. Why can't it be
that way again? That being said, I fully support one-day events as a way to
reconnect with each other as a barony and a family.<BR><BR>Tossing in another
