I am currently overseer gm for the very first conventiion special in Boise, ID. :). Everyone is having a fabulous time! It is so cool to be able to see players out here playing in their first special. Just had to share my hapiness and excitement with you all.
I don't know about Sarah but I know at least 2 people in Spokane that would come down there to either play in, GM, or oversee a special given enough lead time.
