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?

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.

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).

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.)

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

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