I think the idea of a Winter show in some place like California would be neat once.  But I cant see it being a fruitful Winter get together replacement...I know that my family always looks forward to the WGT and also look forward to the fact that it is usually relatively close....or at least within driving distance.  But then again...I do feel sorry for those West Coast Oliver people who dont get to participate at all!  I think it would be fun...but I dont know if I could afford it!:(
