Ooooh - this is exciting! It's up to us to make it into what we want it to be isn't it. I bet there's lots of interest from uk mudcatters although very few would be able to do any kind of 'world tour'.
What might be possible though, is to have some kind of simultaneous gatherings/concerts or whatever with link ups through the web. This was tried before when the manchester UK gathering co-incided with the other Manchester gathering - US. It didn't work then but I'm sure that was only because we only thought of it at the last minute so there was no time to plan properly.
The possibilities are endless!
Cheers,
