We're talking about a bunch of independent craftspeople whose work generally falls under the same classification as luthiers, weavers or duck carvers, Rob. Comparing our seminars to a G8 summit is ludicrous! At their gatherings I doubt any of the G8 members have problems bringing anything through customs, if indeed they ever even *see* a customs officer. >And speaking of which, doesn't an international >event attract protesters these days? If one of our conventions was held anywhere that ivory is still used on piano keys I'd wager there'd be American protestors there. >attendees? or how about just "The PTG Convention"? It's an annual >event, and other events are distinguished by 'Regional' or 'Seminar'. I'd go for that...
