YES! awesome idea. I would be all for it. The Triangle, the Triad, or the Queen City would all be great central-ish locations for those in NC, the "Upstate" of SC, or for southern VA.

I am in the Triangle, 2 hours from the Triad, and 4 hours from Charlotte. And I can get free lodging near Charlotte; my parents live in Shelby, NC.

We might also want to make it a point to meet up at the Loch Norman Highland Games in April of '06.

Heck, as XMarks grows, I anticipate seeing "XMarks" tents at various HG's.
