Meet The C.O.W.S.
« on: October 27, 2006, 09:09:23 am »
Truth be told, we're an informal group of members from the Western half of the U.S. who would very much like to see the next AMG come West.

We cover 6 Western states (and growing), and in the event the members vote for someplace in the West (it doesn't matter to us if it's SF, LV, Phoenix, Seattle, Russian River, San Diego, or anywhere else), we stand ready to offer hospitality, suggestions, and any effort we can provide to the coordinators to make AMG 07 a successful event. 

We love our part of the continent and would be honored and excited to play host for the next gathering.  We might talk a little slower, our attitudes may seem a bit unsophisticated, but our cities are beautiful, our geography is spectacular, and our desire to welcome everyone is sincere.

But most importantly:   ;)  We love to MOO!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh8NilyTZm4   (Courtesy of Lwood!   :-*)

You guys are turning into a bunch of rappers.  This whole East Coast, West Coast thing had better simmer down.  I don't want to hear about any drive-bys or assisnations going on during the voting.

But just to let you know....the Third Coast Rules!  I do believe the South (Texas, Florida, Tenn, Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky) contributed the most members by far....perhaps we need to start a third coast/Southern committee.

Cliff,

I believe that is referred to as the "Dirty South."  (god, i've been listening to too much hip-hop recently).

Yeah, we did seem to have the most members present.  Maybe it needs to be held south of the Mason-Dixon line!   ;)

Should there be something like an OLYMPIC committee?  Is there bribery going on?  This HAS to be investigated!!!

Alright Mr. ACKC we've had just about enough of you!

First there was this picture in the Off Topic Forum:



Now you've come in here and suggested there's some sort of MOOfia connection with this question:
