Right... due to popular demand and feedback, we are going to see if we can organise an Oud Fayre for the USA this fall (that’s Autumn for everyone else).
Houston is a great choice, you already have 3 Ouddict members living here, great food, great weather in November. Definitely a good choice. : )
I will be in Houston in May for OTC as usual, but making an event in November will be difficult for me as I have ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi.
I'll be working on this when I get back from Japan in the middle of May. The question is - "where"? NYC is a hassle and very expensive. LA is a likely spot. Any suggestions? I will start reaching out to some venues I have in mind when I get back. Having an idea of how many might be in attendance would be helpful
What about Canada ? Way Cheaper plus when you flip the American dollar to Canadian you get way more , Our currency drops and goes up and drops again like its on Meds , terrible, but Honestly California Sounds amazing and fantastic and LA street Food and some amazing coffee is grown in Cali with incredible flavors , hope I can make it but with Kids and school & day care might have to bring the toddlers ,
Take the toddlers Seriously though, you should seriously try and go. The Fayre will be a two day event at most and you will really benefit like we did in the UK.
@jensz @oudlover are also from California and I think @RisingPhoenix also mentioned that he prefers California so it looks like it will be there.
