Thanks for all the excellent feedback. First, the best venue for the event -- given input about what people want from the even -- has a calendar conflict with February, but is available March 12, and I booked it. We will cap the guests for this event at 50 guests to provide a VIP experience. We will do other kinds of events throughout the year in other locales too at different price points and geographic accessibility. Second, there wasn't much interest in piggybacking off the Rekieta event the night of the 26th, and some saw it as more of a conflict. Third, my team putting together the event wanted more time to prep it well, also reflecting the input on what folks want from the event. Fourth, some folks had a conflict with the 26th, and also wanted more advance notice to book. Fifth and finally, the March 12 date does overlap with something of interest that week in Vegas -- March Madness commences later that week. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused, but I think this will give us the best possible event as the first VBL Meetup. A last addendum: as I am always in Vegas for March Madness, I plan to make this an annual tradition -- a VIP Vegas VBL Meetup every Sunday the week of March Madness, and this makes it easy to make this an annual tradition.
