Kossack Convention Time?

I think its time that we had some sort of face to face convention within the next 6 months. A place to regroup, swap ideas, network  meet each other and proceed for the next 2 years.  It would be nice to put faces to the diaries and will encourage more communicaiton between us outside of Daily Kos. People could hold small seminars on " how to" and  brain storming strategies. Even bring in speakers from other organizations. We need to be a juggernaut by 2006
Things like:
1 The best way to utilize the blue voters in red states.
2. Getting referendums started to ban all electronic voting machines in all states.
3 Get some Kossacks that are Bible savy to give us some insights.
4. Crank up a tax the chuch strategies and campaign to put the right on the defensive.
Just a few ideas... comments?
