I could picture a single event that would rotate to different regional
locations in a cycle that would repeat say every six years, or, several
regional events under the same name and at the same time.
A 'centrally located' event, considering the majority makeup of this list
would be in northern Nebraska somewhere. Long way for me to drive (SoCal);
tho I wouldn't mind making the trip necessarily it just wouldn't be a
possibility for us.
Attaching 'lists events' to other major events (like Burning Man, or music
festivals or the like) might be an interesting avenue.
I like the idea but logistically it's a tough nut I think.

Cya,
Robert
