Default New England/Northest GitP Meet-n-Greet

Alright, so it's been talked about, but I don't know if this was mentioned by anyone else officially. So here I am, officially pitching the idea.

Who'd be interested in a Northeast meeting? By Northeast, I mean New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey…anything above the Mason/Dixon Line, really.

If there's enough interest, I'll volunteer to be the organizer.

I could go, but I probably won't be able to.

Besides, I think the only person in this area I might know is Iames. :P

That's why it's called a Meet-n-Greet.

Maryland so counts.

I mean, hell...I'll petition for Virginia to count, and it so doesn't.

What? It can be both northeast and southeast...I'm in the middle dangit.

No more than 30 minutes from New Haven. So, should anyone feel compelled to fly here, you can go right into Tweed, and not be far from the action!*

*By action, I, of course, mean, "gaming, talking about gaming, and talking about whatever else strikes our fancy."

Good ole' NH. If this happens, and I somehow get my 'rents to not whine about taking the beater someplace, I might be able to come.

I'd like to say that I'd drive down from Boston.

But I doubt I actually would.

Come to Boston?

Well, if you want it in Boston, I would have to forfeit organizer duties to you. Lower CT is within my reach, thus why I was organizing it down here.

You know, depending on how close, timewise, this ends up being to the SE one, Google tells me that New Haven is closer to me than JC, TN, so it's conceivable, even though I'm from south of the M/D line (barely).

(Side note, I'm starting to see a lot of people from the DC/NoVA metropolis area. Almost as many as are in JC, TN. )

I thought this one was going to be a fair bit later than the SE one....maybe in October? Was that the thought AS? Admittedly, I need to stop feeling the need to organize all of these.

Yeah, Octoberish. This month is way too soon, and my schedule gets really hectic after that. I mean, there's the Southeast meetup at the end of this month, something in July that I can't remember, the Smashing Pumpkins concert at the beginning of August, GenCon in the middle (hopefully), and Dragon*Con at the end, and heading to Lackland AFB to have more work done on my tattoo in September for my birthday. So, October is the earliest this'd happen.

Hmm, October I'm out at RIT, so it'll have to be a weekend affair if I'm going to show up, AND I'll need to figure out other transport.

October, that actually gives me a chance of having a ride there. By then I'll probably have a car, and my license! Connecticut (or wherever it is) see you then!
