The North American Meetup

Why is it taking you so long to decide where to meet?
Because you can't plop our countries into Lake Ontario and still sail around them?
This will never happen because not enough people will ever agree to go outside of their region. A "region" in an American/Canadian/Mexican sense can take 12 hours to drive across, more or less. That's 12 hours nonstop driving. Some have mentioned Boston- that's a 13 hour drive for me. So is New Orleans. Orlando is 12 hours. Memphis is only 10. St. Louis is 10. Cleveland is a hop, skip and a jump at 5 hours, but who on earth would willingly drive to Cleveland? I could also pay several hundred dollars to fly, but I doubt anyone would do that, either.
We should probably just wait a year and all go to Gen Con.

This would be simpler if you all lived in New England.
-
It would be simpler if we all lived in New Mexico… and sort of strange.
-
when is also a big question here. If its in the next few months, count me out! work is -crazy-…
i wouldnt mind driving to New York or Boston if I got a few partners to help pay for the gas liiike Snowy! (although I'll probably scared dead driving -in- New York)
if you guys actually want to narrow down on some location, makes a list and have folks vote on it.

United Kingdom's size
Total 243,610 km2 (94,060 sq mi)North America's size
Area 24,709,000 km2 (9,540,000 sq mi)I hope that answers Lamancha's question. And I don't think the next few months is likely. Maureen suggested Spring Break. If we go for New Orleans I'm inclined to think Mardi Gras. >_>
-
so uh… when's spring break? >_>
-
For me: April 18-22, 2011
Mardi Gras is March 8, so the weekend before up until Midnight on the 8th, New Orleans will be hopping! -

I was just there. It was a great time. For next year, we can start talking about it in January. I'm already committed to going.

PAX is waaaaaaaay better. PAX East anyone? >.>

I am not saying I am going, but I have wanted to go to Gencon since their 10th year. It is not a bad idea to meet there, giving us more reason to travel and spend a boat load of money then just saying hi to a bunch of people we say hi to every day. It would be nice to meet you all, but I talk to a lot of you more than I talk to my family. {not the one in my house, the extended family}

Boobtastic. I've been and it's a blast. Even if 12 people showed up, that's a crowd. You'd all have to find the same place to stay in because out on the street, it's CRRAZY!
-
I can't believe there's people choosing a half rate video-game convention against Mardi Gras…
I mean DAMN.
-
We're not going to New Orleans.
-
I might go to New Orleans but I might not make it out alive. East Pax? Never heard of it.
Gencon is in Indianapolis. http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2881372 ... on-Center/
-
Top choices appear to be New Orleans, Memphis, Orlando, GenCon?
My vote'd be NO. I'd probably go up wherever GenCon is, but I'm not interested in the convention.

You've never heard of PAX? Like seriously, its way better than GenCon.
-
I'd never heard of PAX until you posted some video of you cleaning your car out, getting ready to go.

Who in the hell voted Memphis? If I wanted to go to the hood, I'd just stay at home.
New Orleans (Mardi) and Orlando/Miami (anytime of the year) should be the only reasonable choices.
