Willace, If you want to have a spring Fling of your own that's "official" as you put it; then find a bunch of clown forum members from you area and then have one! Please try to understand, This happened because so many of us live in this area. And more than likely Most of us who were at this event wouldn't be able to come for similar reasons as yours. Scheduling, distance, travel expenses and the like. For instance, I know that If you had one I wouldn't be able to attend. I live 1330 miles from Naples, Fl. Which is a 20 hour drive according to mapquest. I don't have money for airfare to get there, or for the expenses of food, gas, a motel, or a little pocket money to pick up a prop or something. It is just out of reach for me.
If it did happen in Florida then I'd check at the computer frequently, check out the pictures that were posted and post everything on it I could for questions and try to get answers from the people who attended. I might even try to get together with someone else who didn't go or for me , the most likely thing would be to go out and do a clowning thing of my own. like go to the nursing home where I work and visit people.
I realize that you very badly wanted to come and I am sorry that you couldn't. I very badly wanted to go to the Circus Sarasota event that came to your town and you didn't go to. But I couldn't go to it for reasons similar to the ones that kept you in Florida while a few of us got together in Indiana.

Try to keep your chin up. If this forum keeps growing like it has then maybe you can host the Southeast convention when the time is right!
