It's funny to see MECA is like, so regional. Almost all their events are in rural eastern states. NONE are west of the Rockies. Get a clue MECA. California, if it was it's own nation, would be #5 in the world for GDP and in addition to being the richest state in the USA, it's the most populous. The Pacific Northwest isn't ghetto by any means either and you're looking at another 10 million people. That makes 45 million people who don't exist according to MECA's events calendar for 2008.

The West also includes Alaska, Hawai'i, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. There's some good-sized cities in those states and their population numbers add up. Does MECA have a problem with Vegas, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Denver, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Boise, Honolulu and other metro areas out here?

I also didn't see anything for the Northeast. The BosWash Corridor is this nation's most populated region. Does MECA think all those people don't buy sound gear and want to show it off?

MECA? Meh. Go national in your presence in terms of events and then you'll be in the Big Leagues. Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and those other states are nice places but they are just a small percentage of this nation in terms of both geographical size and population.

I can't tell you why Meca hasn't expanded very far, but I do know that we're a small organization and a lot like a family. I don't think that profit is the main concern.

Ben hit it on the head with that one. Also, I dont think the interest has been expressed by anyone on the west coast that they were interested in doing MECA events. The furthest events ive ever heard out west are in Montana, and that dwindled to zero this year.

MECA did pick up Best Buy as a show sponsor this year with 10 or so events sprinkled around the mideast and south for their events. Perhaps next year will bring more to the rest of the country.

If someone who owns a shop wants to pay for MECA qualified judges to come to their place and hold an event, im sure it could be arranged.

yea i would love to see meca go national its a great org. IMO, and everyone i know who competes seems to be nice and enjoy themselves. It would be great if we could get it to the mid west and west coast as well.
