I talked a little about this right after the con, but Gate's topic reminded to throw this up. Anyway. there was talk about doing this in December of this year, and hosting it somewhere besides Newport news. (I am not volunteering you by gunpoint Ciddy~). Thoughts on locations/times that would work for people, and anyone who'd want to host?

Id be interested, but I can't host until my situation stanilizes.

NOT Newport News again. We did that 2 years in a row, and its a bitch to get to for me.

As long as it's after December 8th or so, I'm good (yay LA trip for a week!).

I'm open for hosting this year, but since no one wanted to come to me last year, I assume that stands this year as well.

I'm in for whatever, though I really am tempted to fly in this year if the distance is > 3-4 hours or so.

I'm in. Dunno how well December will work with my unknown school schedule, but I'm interested and willing. I will also have no financial complaints since I've taken out loans (crossing fingers here. . .). I do not want it to be some place cold, because I will already be some place cold. I heard Soppy was interested in hosting, and I am suggesting Soppy before he says it here.

That was for DLC, Idun.

I have no idea what my living situation will be so hosting is out, but I'll most likely be living in VA by that point so I won't miss the meetup.

So...I guess I kinda have a Condo I own now and therefore could theoretically host. Atlanta's probably a damn long ways for most people, though (seeing as Newport News was a shockingly expensive flight for me last year).

Meeplelard · « **Reply #8 on:** August 02, 2011, 04:52:51 PM »

Oddly, I wouldn't mind flying down to Atlanta or Florida, mostly cause well, I guess in Principle, I don't feel going to the Airport for a genuine flight of 2 hours or so is as big a deal as going to one for a mere short flight like Newport news. yes, I am weird, though in general, I just want something different this year I guess.

Atlanta's fine for me!

superaielman · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2011, 11:13:28 PM »

Atlanta would be hard for me to get to just due to distance (600 mile drive is too much, and airfare's like 350). May be able to drag Pyro into carpooling though.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #11 on:** August 03, 2011, 01:47:18 AM »

Atlanta would work great for me. I might even get a chance to see my sister who lives up there.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #12 on:** August 03, 2011, 02:49:52 AM »

I dunno about December fares, but November Newport News to Atlanta is like 160~

superaielman · « **Reply #13 on:** August 03, 2011, 02:53:04 AM »

Price of flying goes up 140-160~ bucks after mid november.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #14 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:26:08 AM »

Then meet then~?

superaielman · « **Reply #15 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:31:17 AM »

Considering that several of the people who have expressed interest in going are still in college or work at one, that is very unlikely.

jsh357 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:01:57 PM »

Heh, if I only I could get my usual internet buds to meet in Atlanta... great hub.

Glen Veil · « **Reply #17 on:** August 06, 2011, 03:13:34 PM »

Potentially interested in this if the hosting location ends up not too far away. Flying is a no go due to money but I'm decently used to long drives so that's a possibility for me.

Idun · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2011, 05:21:20 PM »

Oh. Well. For a minimeet in Atlanta, I just feel pretty retarded flying back to where I just came from for three-ish days. Granted, I wouldn't have to pay my mom for me to stay . . . eh, we'll see with my schedule, or whatever I have going on around this time. But it will be quite short notice, for either NPN or Atlanta.

superaielman · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2011, 09:37:33 PM »

We going with Atlanta then? Shale/Cid sound like they aren't up for hosting.

Sierra · « **Reply #20 on:** September 05, 2011, 10:59:34 PM »

This is an accurate statement, you can basically count me out just due to lack of time off.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #21 on:** September 06, 2011, 04:50:09 AM »

So we're meeting in Atlanta? Ok, so all we need is dates, right?

Oh, one date that is out for me is the 12th of November (taking the Praxis then.)

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #22 on:** September 06, 2011, 04:54:13 AM »

The weekend of the 3rd and the 10th are bad for me (in December). Other than that, should be able to make anything.

superaielman · « **Reply #23 on:** September 06, 2011, 05:21:28 AM »

10th is out for me, I have a final (what the fuck!?) that weekend. 15th-18th of december then?

Offhand, that sounds fine, but nothing is definite right now, etc.
