Good idea but IMO, it would be a mistake to limit that convention just to PUA stuff. A big part of what makes this forum a good place to hang out is the info on the travel side and that guys who are location independent hang around here. If this forum was only on PUA, I can bet you anything that half of the most interesting people would not be posting here, yours truly included.
This goes without saying, though I'm glad you made this distinction. Very few cats on this board consider themselves "PUAs," in the traditional sense--myself included--which is a big part of what makes this community special, and different from 99.9 percent of any other game boards. The true asset of this board is its density of quality members.
Any (fantasy) meeting or convention would
have to be like that, which is why most guys, in the end I think, would insist on what I've suggested: a limited, invitation-based attendance list. For guys that didn't make the list on the first pass, there could be a straight-up application process--but that'd be limited too. This would prevent random clowns, haters, and noobs from crashing the party.
There's no question that we'd talk about way more than game. This would be part bro-fest, part lifestyle huddle, part travel. It would be good to press the flesh (no homo) of some of the guys that we've been "talking to" for months or years.
Even the game we would discuss would be anti-game, in a way. For instance, we wouldn't talk about "peacocking," we'd talk about dressing crispy and just plain looking good.
If it ever happens, count me in. If I'm invited, that is.
