Since not everyone will be interested in or attending the meet to get button mod installs - maybe after dinner in someone's hotel room those interested could gather. At least there will be power and no other nuisances such as wind to deal with. Great care would need to be employed to keep the room ventilated and the smoke detectors from going off - this would be my greatest concern. Maybe a small fan and point it out the window to suck smoke and gas out.

I have a greater dilemma to deal with - I just got a new car. I would like to drive it to the meet, but it is not configured with my Empeg just yet. So, drive the old car (I didn't trade it in, too much stereo junk to worry about ripping out just yet) and have tons of music to listen to on the way (with a better sound sytem) or drive the good new car that has only a 6 disk changer (ungh). For me, this will be about a 6 1/2 to 7 hour drive.
