Mid-Western AH Gathering

[Shadowskill Knight]

Firm dates?

Second weekend in November. Let's see that would be...
Saturday, November 12th, I think.

We can do more than that - add in a Friday night or Sunday thing, but I thought the main activity / party / gathering would be Saturday night.

I might be able to make it and Fairysong also.

So glad to hear that Shadow and Fairy are considering joining us! This is going to be so much fun.

Kassiana brings up a very good point! I've been thinking a lot about where to meet and have a few ideas. If the group is relatively small, I have no issue with hosting at my flat. If we're a little bigger, there's a pub up the street that would happily host us. They have pool, darts and the heaviest handed bartenders in town. There's also a great B&B that has 12 guest rooms, a great pub/restaurant and a private party room. If we had enough interest I would check with them and see what kind of rate we could get (a friend of a friend, etc). But I'm happy to put a few people up over night here and I think SweetVA said she might be willing to do the same so it's all just theory and supposition at this point.

By the way, I would never tell someone just meet me at Navy Pier. That's the silliest thing I've heard all day!

Oooh - a slumber party? Can I sleep in your bed?

It sounds as if I'm going to miss a helluva party, dang it.

Yes, you're more than welcome in my bed Sarahhh. You don't have to miss it, by the way. You could drive in Saturday morning and drive out Sunday. It wouldn't be that bad. Then you can be back for Monday rehearsals! Don't say no just yet!

If I'm really good, that position may already be filled.

It's a long way for me to make it, too Sarah, but I'm going to try.

to both of you.

It's not the distance (8 hours, perhaps?) but it is the date. That's the week before my Fall Musical. Performance Dates are Thurs, Fri, Sat - November 17, 18, 19.

The weekend before a show is filled with a million and a half details. Not fun. (I would love to be out of town that weekend, actually, but that would be bad.)

Boo.

Before bed bump so those of you coming in on Monday morning can find us!

 

[angelicminx]

I wanna cum... I mean come... too! 6 hours 46 minutes from me so I think it can be done. I love to drive, so that's not a problem. Money for hotel, gas and food is the only issue, since it's on a weekend. Ohio I can make too, I think. I'd love to meet y'all.

Well, like I said we can try to work out the details so everyone can afford the trip! It would be great to meat you too!

Having just returned from my first AH meet-n-greet ... I CAN'T WAIT 'til the next one!!!!!

Just reading the little bits and pieces about your visit, I can't wait till I get to go to one!

You'll have a blast!!
And having travelled thousands of miles to meet as many people as I could, and over 20 hours flying.......I can categorically say it was worth every penny of expense, every second of time. There's just never enough time to spend with everyone.

 

[cloudy]

It was absolutely wonderful!

Everyone was as funny, as warm, as loving, as much a friend (if not more so) as they are here in the AH. It renewed my faith in humanity.

Does this mean we'll see you in Milwaukee in November?
How 'bout you, Mat? Can you make the trip again?

 

[logophile]

Pre-weekend Bump for our gathering thread!

[mlady_france]

Looks like you all have got things a lot further since I've been gone.

I'd really like to make it. If logo is having a slumber party then there should be no problem.

Just keep me up to date, I've got a lot more to budget for now.

 

[sophia jane]

Well, I've been pricing plane tickets. If my budget will allow it, I'll be there.

What's the latest ... um, head count?

Much as I'd love to, not a possible I'm afraid. Not only restrictions of the cost, but also time. I only have a limited amount of holiday from my job.

But, I'm sure you'll all have a wonderful time. I've done 3 meets now, two in the UK and this last mammoth one in the States. The euphoric nervousness of the initial meeting is almost overwhelming, but such a buzz.

Just make sure that you take plenty of pics, and someone keep a journal type record to share with us all.

I'll be probably attending the next UK one in October some time, in Edinburgh, a city I've always wanted to visit.

I'm loving the way all these meets are taking off. So great to be able to meet all the people we spend so much time with.

 

[logophile]

What's the latest ... um, head count?

It's still tough to keep track cause people's plans change, etc. I made a public poll so people could give a preliminary RSVP and then we'll have a better idea.

The poll allows you to pick maybe and probably in addition to yes and no, so please let us know what you're thinking!

Thanks!

i won't mention Milwaukee in november and the possibility of getting snowed in

If it's tempting you need, you know I'd let you spank me!
Plus we could go to La Cage (or any where else your heart desires...).

 

[carsonshepherd]

La Cage, omg. I'd need to go incognito

Spanking you is almost enough to get me up there. But seriously I can't... wish i could... damn job and being poor, getting in the way of my fun.
