Cons, Meetings and Gatherings
I thought I might start up a thread where we on the forums might be able to let the others know if they are planning to head to various cons and such, with the possibility of meeting fellow forumites.
I, for one, should be at DragonCon in Atlanta, GA Labor Day weekend, and would love it if I were able to see other folks there.

I'm heading to Hasicon later this month, where I'll assuredly meet a forumite.

Re: Cons, Meetings and Gatherings
Meeting at a gathering of cons is probably not a good idea...is it?

I wont be meeting any of you, though. I'm not that good a swimmer.

Re: Cons, Meetings and Gatherings
Yeah, Ravenhulls idea seems a bit Americanocentric
I daresay the thread could be expanded a bit to "Hey, guys, I'll be travelling to XYZ, anyone nearby who wants to meet up?"
Also, think of our agoraphobic shut-ins!

Yeah, but wouldn't that be "Travelling forumite" fodder?

You would still need to consider us agoraphobic shut ins

Re: Cons, Meetings and Gatherings
It hasn't really been used for that much lately...
Overall, we have hardly had any forumite meetings. DnE seems best at meeting people, though, he's met at least two of us.
I've so far met only one, and it was not my former girlfriend.
Oh, and yira, we'll just come at night to your trailer and drag our looong fingernails down the glass...

Re: Cons, Meetings and Gatherings
I thought you wanted to become more independent?
To do that, you must off the zombie forum stalkers alone with the .357 magnum you found in the shed.

However to open the shed you'll need to reassemble the key which is hidden in 3 boxes that each need their own crest, each of which is broken into two pieces scattered through the house.
