I'm gonna say this again. If you are seriously interested in coming, please send me a PM with

-Your general location
-How far you would be willing to travel.

Please do this even if you have replied in this thread. And yes, this includes Syd. It is a lot easier to sort these things out and find a good location when I don't have to shuffle through 9 pages of stuff.

Keep in mind that there's a chance rides and stuff can be provided if you live near someone else that can travel farther. And also keep in mind that while it would be fucking awesome, if Syd just can't attend, then he can't. His location is getting a bit more weight than others (partially because it's his site, partially because it's close to mine), but there's no chance of pleasing everyone here, and he just may be the one one out.

Okay, everyone who actually replied to me is in the Boston/Southern New England area, or is willing to go there. So that's that. Unless there's serious objections, I'm gonna look in my local area (Fitchburg/Worcester), it'll be easier for me. But everything is still up in the air.

As for what to do...well, I did have an idea, but it may not fly depending on how many people we get (and cost issues). We could rent a hotel room. A suite would probably cost some money, but the cost split up amount a group of people won't be as bad. We can stay up as late as we care, don't have to worry about cleaning up (just about not breaking stuff), and if people need a place to crash, well...it's a freaking hotel room. You can sleep in it. So we could do whatever during the day, head to the hotel at night, and party until whatever. Just a thought.

So, next: What should we do, should we rent a room, etc, etc. I don't think everyone meeting at an intersection, just waving hi, and leaving would be fun.
