RE: [GSAS-Member] West Coast Weekend

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

WCW is relatively new for the Pacific Northwest, but mostly I learn of 
these things from folks on these mailing lists and friends in the clubs.

The only other "big show" in the area is GPAS's show down in Portland. 
They haven't had great attendence the last few years, so I'm not sure they 
are continuing to hold them.

Most of the big shows are associated with national clubs, like AKA, ACA, 
ALA, AGA... so you can hear about them via those clubs, advertising in 
magazines, and the usual channels.
