I live in Texas and would prefer something within a 4 to 6 hour drive if possible. So a regional thing might be best, but anyone could come if they wanted.
I would like a work day to have the opportunity for some hands on experience. If there were several papercreters around the area a next day tour of their structures would be outstanding.
Seminars and slides would be great as I would like as much exposure to the process if papercrete construction as possible.
A gathering at a reasonably priced motel or camp/cabin site would be fine. A pot luck dinner would be great also.
Vendors would be fine, but not a requirement as I am just in the learing phase.
2 days and a night (Sat and Sunday) would be fine.
