Not sure how many of these have taken place, but would anyone be interested in having a get-together of regional NSers? If we have any Midwesterners here (specifically, Minnesotans), maybe we can plan something.

Sure, Amor is regional to me isn't she?

I am in Illinois. Willing to go to St Louis...or -yuck- Chicago

I second that "yuck." :p

I'm in Kansas. How about Kansas City?

I'm trapped in North Dakota, so I don't get very far at all.

I went to the first NorCal one but not the second. I don't know that there'll be a third but I'd go if there was one. We even had two mods at the first one. Generalites not so much, though. In fact, everyone there did the game/site their own way, so that was kind of cool.

Depending on the location, I might be able to make it to a midwest NS meetup.

What?
I don't get it. o.9

Erm, how about Alaska, where basically only WYTYG, Ruffy, LaDameSansMerci, Verdigroth, Cobbleism, and Tongass are likely to get together and compare unmentionables?

Actually, if we all arranged another voyage on a cruise ship, it'd be that much frickin' cooler. *nods emphatically*

Well, wifey & i just got back from one about two months ago, although there's very little proof other than bugbites and rumours, receipts, and Ruffy's face on a bunch of pictures of people in compromising positions ....

Unless they all live in Juneau, I'd STILL have to take a plane to attend!

I'm sure we can have a bake sale and wash some windows. *some* of us probably are just superbly fetching in Daisy Dukes and tied midriff tops. Go dutch w/me on that?

Why not?

Um, isn't WYTYG in...like...GERMANY?. I can think of places in America that are closer to germany than Alaska.

Like...every other part of america that's not alaska.

No more ferry? :(
I'd heard they were cutting back ... but not stopping, surely?

There's still a ferry, but it's still expensive and it takes forever if you're going anywhere outside the SE.

Was there ever one in SoCal?

One day I'll have enough money to visit some of you people...

Ah, if you guys ever come down to San Diego. I can come. :)

Why not?

That's the spirit!

...btw, might ask Bann-Ed how that would go.

... and as there's plenty of evidence to corroborate, she's been on that list for a long, LONG time. :p
She actually even mentioned coming up here a little more than a year back! *dances weasel dance*

Well, Palin's plane is still available, ain't it? :p

San Fran was as close as it got, iirc.

True.

I thought they sold the jet on ebay. Maybe I'll knock on the door of the governor's mansion on the walk back from work tomorrow and ask if they have anything I can borrow sometime.

Actually, i think they did sell it. For a while there was no takers though.

Ilie tried an East Coast get together a while ago in Baltimore. In the end, I was the only other person to show up. Still managed to have a swell time.

The MidWest is too far west. Come further east.

Yeah...like the UK.

Really is about time us Brits organised another one. Not that I am volunteering or nominating myself to organise it in any way, shape or form whatsoever.

The Midwest is not far enough away. Go further east. :p

Where in MN? I'm in Brooklyn Park!

~30 posts in and still no mention of a European meet-up, let alone a German version?

Tzz. You are all so predictable. USAian meet-ups, so what?

Hey, if I oculd attend a German get together I would. As it is I'm not on the same continent.

:( I wanna go to Deutschland real bad!

I mentioned a UK one...that not good enough?

I live in Spring Lake Park. We're actually pretty close. ;)

Is Spring Lake Blvd. there? If so I know where that road is (I'm pretty sure).

I'm out on West River Road, near where it intersects with 85th.

Do you know where Northtown Mall is? I live just a few blocks away.

Never heard of it.

That or I used to work at that Target (the Greatland) and I jsut went to Northtown yesterday to follow a trend of going there with relative frequency.

I love the Best Buy... not because I like Best Buy specifically, but it is the biggest Electronics store around that I'm aware of.

I live pretty much just across the river (when 610 turns to 252, take a left onto 85th, and then a right onto West River Road).

Thats kinda funny.

Never heard of it.

Just asking...I know a lot of Minnesotans, even locals, who haven't. :confused:

Really? Tahts weird... I'm fairly new, I moved down here (from St Cloud) in August... I can't imagine a lot of people not having heard of it....

I suppose, it's kind of out there as far as the local cities region goes.

Yeah.

But anyway, we need more Minnesotans! Where are all the Minnesotans?

I don't own a car, so unless any such NS meetup is accessible via the MTA, LIRR, or PATH (not sure I trust those Chinatown based intercity buses just yet), you won't find me in attendance. And even if it is, well, I have a strange and difficult to predict schedule.

It's not as though I'd want to meet any of you in real life anyway. :upyours: [/sour grapes] ;)

Yeah.

I'd hazard a guess at Minnesota :p

Apparently the UK isn't European enough for SoWiBi
:p

It would be good enough for SoWiBi were it good enough for the Brits, but given the British reluctance to be associated with "Europe", I thought I'd grant you your, uh, uniqueness ;P

Though by the time anyone manages to stage another European meet-up, I'll hopefully reside in the UK myself, so no escaping from me ;P

Their was a big one being planned on the Myspace Group, but it never got enough support... I would be willing to travel however.

Ah, right.

You're organising the next UK NS meet. :p

I still say Kansas City,

OR

we all meet in Moscow and ride the Trans-Siberian Railroad.

I refuse to travel anywhere on the basis of a few words. Money however is a different matter. Money is evil, that is why i should handle all money because then the evil can be dealt with in an economic fashion.
UK? sure, where?

Not London again...or Birmingham. I'd quite fancy Sheffield. I know a lovely pub there (and some pretty crap ones).

Sheffield? no no Edinburgh, far easier to get to.

You could do Edinburgh...but that would probably end up being just a Scottish meet. How about York? I'm sure there's at least one NSer in York who could show us the sights...and the pubs.

That could work, trouble is i'd need money to get there. I suppose at a stretch i could give it a go for a few days or something.
And who else would want to go?

Tzz. You are all so predictable. USAian meet-ups, so what?You're not entirely blameless on the issue as well. Why don't you organize a German NS meetup?

And who else would want to go?London. Late March. I'm heading to the UK for the Webcomix thing and to meet up with friends around the 22nd.

Ah, right.

You're organising the next UK NS meet. :p

Right. Let the female foreign teetotaler organize a pub meeting with a bunch of native, pub-accustomed males. I'd say yeah, but you'd sorely regret it afterwards, I guess. And I'll make damn sure everyone knows who's to blame for organizing the crappy organizer.. ;P

You're not entirely blameless on the issue as well. Why don't you organize a German NS meetup?
Sure. Next Saturday, Bielefeld?

Sure. Next Saturday, Bielefeld?How about next Saturday, Berlin. I'm going to go watch Cloverfield with a couple of friends round then, so I'll be in town.

Nope. You got yourself into this shit by making me organizer, so I'll wield my mighty organizer tools of dictatorship and say Saturday, Bielefeld. Anyone who shows up will be welcomed with open arms, and the rest may pick one amongst themselves to organize the next German meet. Say, in Berlin. Or Hanover, for that matter.

Failure to do so will earn you the label of failed organizer, a mark of shame that will haunt you for the rest of your life! Forever!

Erm, how about Alaska, where basically only WYTYG, Ruffy, LaDameSansMerci, Verdigroth, Cobbleism, and Tongass are likely to get together and compare unmentionables?

I'm in if somebody's paying for my plane ticket. I'm an evil easterner in Toronto now. Speaking of which...Toronto anybody?

Plane? Mmmmhmmm ... howzabout a moped tour?
I'm up fer that. Other than the cold, of course.

So are we doing a midwest meetup or not?

I can probably make it, once I know the place and time...

...that is, if we can ever actually agree on a place and time. :p

Where are all the Minnesotans?

Well, I was born in Minneapolis...but currently live in cheese-land. Does that still count? :p

I think Yootopia is at uni there.

Though. How about Manchester fr old times sake :) (For me anyway. The first, and so far only NS meet I've been on)

In all seriousness, though, I'm still up for a Midwest meet up. I'd prefer as many people as possible, though.
