I know this is short notice, but for those relevant few, we will be in London from tomorrow until Tuesday should you be there and want to have coffee or a pint or the like! Send me a PM and I'll send you my mobile number if you don't already have it.

I'm jealous of all these meet-ups!

There used to be a map of where pwebbers are located. There should be an app that sends an invite to all pwebbers from any given area. Like set it to a 200 mile radius or something sends the invite to email.

Um, so I guess I should give a head's up that I won't be able to attend the MN shindig. I really wish I could but it's just not realistically possible right now.
You're pretty well out of luck in the meet-up department since I'm pretty sure you're our only Aussie, though we used to have a Kiwi several years ago. Also, most parents aren't too keen on letting their young'uns meet random internet weirdos anyway.Damn, yeah, wish I could go.

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups
I asked some resident Twin City-ites about fun things to do for our Minneapolis meet-up. I have no idea what of these the rest of you will find interesting, but here ya go.
Mill City Farmers Market: Lots of good food and beautiful location.
Washaba Street Caves: Really the funnest thing here would be the swing night, which is only on Thursdays, but they have some fun tours supposedly.
Wienery: Hole-in-the-wall hot dog/sausage/Polish dog/etc. place.
The Science Museum: (According to science nerds) "5 or 6 floors of awesome."
And, of course, lots of other food places, sports, shopping, etc., plus the other stuff we've discussed already.

Not very helpful, I know, but I'm pretty much open to anything that is either free or credit-card friendly.
Though, more importantly, I'm open to anything that is good for picture-taking.

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups
Just in case you start planning anything concretely, I am busy September 15 and 22-23. I can easily come down for the day and would prefer a Saturday to a Sunday (or I'm free any midweek day) but I can work around that if need be.

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups
I'm just going to throw this out there. There's a rumor (that I'm pretty sure will turn out to be true) that Ender's Game will make an appearance at next summer's Comic-Con (makes sense).
Ahem, so if anyone would like a SoCal meet up I think that'd be a pretty reason to make it out this way.
I write this very early so people have a year or so to save up.
Tickets run has high as $175 (4 days, adult ticket) and it's less for kids ...plus a hotel etc. etc.
I know prices are high and tickets are nearly impossible to get, but if anyone wants to try and go I do plan on trying to go.

Either is fine for me, though the chances of good weather are better for 9/8. We could have snow by November!

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups
Are we talking 8/9 of September?? That seems rather soon! That's a good thing though, not a bad thing. The earlier in the semester, the better, for me, but as of now I can probably make any weekend work. Maybe weekdays too, but I haven't gotten my class schedule yet, and it seems like weekends are better for both Elf and Nomi.

Re: PwebCon/Gatherings/Shindigs/Meet-Ups
Oh, it definitely has to be a weekend for me; I don't have a flexible enough schedule to make it during the week. It'd probably be a one day thing as well, given the cost of a hotel would drive up the trip's cost to probably count me out, given I still have to account for food and transit, so a Saturday is the most likely.
I'll have a better idea in a few weeks' time but I won't let it go past 3 weeks prior to that weekend without saying one way or another.

I just went and checked out time zones and it looks like there aren't too many places in America ahead of Australia... most is a couple or more of hours behind and so...
