Who would be interested if this were actually to be held?

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 9:49 pm

awe man, i can barely stand any of you online let alone in person!

Buggerwugger · Postby **Buggerwugger** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 9:55 pm

what could we do in person that we cant do here?

aside from meet and greet.

though if there were actualy one held I suppose I would still try to come...

but these people here live all over the world.

but I guess i'd have to say yes.

Bevis · Postby **Bevis** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 10:06 pm

I vote yes but in truth I could only make it if it were held somewhere in the midwest.

There are lot of things we could do in person that we can't do here! Most of them are not suitable for children, and some people do them anyway, but that is besides the point! I didn't get to go to EnderCon, I want PwebCon!

Give real hugs to those who need.

Give real punches to the face to those who need.

Actually force John to put some goddamn pants on. (Well, probably. BYOP)

Know for sure that Jebus is actually a leprachaun.

The list goes on and on...

Three's something to be said for meeting folks in person so you can tell when someone's being sarcastic and when they're being an ass.

After you meet someone in person, you can see the expressions on their faces as they type. Take this from someone who met online friends and had it improve my relationships with them.

May I reccomend sunny Sacramento? Or not-sunny-at-all San Francisco?

Petra · Postby **Petra** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:29 pm

I vote midwest because it's in the middle. I don't want to go all the way to California.

The smart thing would be to have it in Greensboro since Card actually lives there. Maybe we could finagle him into hanging out with us. :-p

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:31 pm

can figure out a location after we figure out who wants to come.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:38 pm

Well, who can come and who can't depends greatly on where it is, and when. Those two questions really need settling first.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:43 pm

Here is the way things are turning in my head:

1. Figure out who would be interested
2. find an approximate middle ground (the state or province)
3. get everyone to decide on the activity
4. finalize location

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Wed Nov 22, 2006 11:57 pm

so you can tell when someone's being sarcastic and when they're being an ass.

unfortunately meeting in person wouldn't help you with this in my case. when i'm sarcastic i still seem like an ass.

That is because you are a sarcastic ass. I would know, since I am one.

I think it's safe to assume most people are interested.

Pick a location, and a time, and then people will be able to say with much greater certainty. I have a feeling this won't be so much a con as a regional meet-up. I like meet-ups, so I'm fine with this. But the general Pweb demographic is too young and too subject to the whims of school to make a big event.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:11 am

eriador is the only one i can think of under 18. And LilBee.

a suppose a frappr map should be made now, so i can see everyone who is interested and their locations

zeroguy · Postby **zeroguy** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 3:40 am

I'm pretty sure there are far more than that. (And I'm sure some have just not shared their age; with good reason, in my opinion.)

I actually may be interested in such an event, as antisocial as I am, but probably only if it's somewhere in the midwest US.

hive_king · Postby **hive_king** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 4:14 am

Isn't there already a frappr map?

Here is the way things are turning in my head:

1. Figure out who would be interested
2. find an approximate middle ground (the state or province)
3. get everyone to decide on the activity
4. finalize location

Except that a middle ground doesn't make as much sense. Because, well--it'd be a lot easier for 7 out of 14 people to go to a coast than it would be for 11 out of 14 people to meet in the middle.

At any rate, I could only come if it was in NYC or, possibly, Toronto.

Postby **Luet** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 9:18 am

I agree that a big city on either coast (or in the middle, like Chicago) would make the most sense because flights are always cheaper to big cities with hub airports.

Jebus · Postby **Jebus** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:07 am

Bah humbug.

Me, Yebra, Jota and Falka will have a EuroPWebCon. We'll have it in the place between Ireland, England, Spain and Luxembourg: France.

...

Ah, screw it.

not a a middle ground like that.

a middleground so that most people travel about the same distance.

Jebus · Postby **Jebus** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:30 am

I think what she's saying is say you have three people on the west and eight people on the east. You have the con in the east and eight people would go, you have it in the middle and maybe five people will go from either side. So anon is saying the place needs to be chosen in order to get the highest number of people, not to even out the travel distance.

Claire · Postby **Claire** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:47 am

I'm so there, if I CAN be.
If we're going to do it on the east coast, I vote that its over the summer or during a break. If its not on the east coast, I can only do it if its within a busride from St Louis- meaning no west coast for me- or Canada, probably.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:50 am

St Louis is a nice place.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:51 am

I don't know who has the link, and when I searched I couldnt find it.

Postby **Jayelle** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:52 am

It's here in this thread.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:59 am

ok so.

eastern kentucky looks likely.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:33 pm

No, because not a lot of people live there. That means hotels for everyone. Plus, there's not much to DO in Kentucky. It's as depressing as Ohio.

It has to be a big city with (preferably) a lot of members. It's cheaper to fly to, and cheaper to stay at. Also, there are events we can go to.

I'm interested, but i'm all the way over here on the west coast.

Postby **Hegemon** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:53 pm

Seems that it makes more sense to go to a place where a fair number of members live. That saves on hotel fees for them as well as for people who are able to stay with them.

That means that NYC or TO would probably be a good choice.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:55 pm

NYC terrifies me.

So does Canada.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:58 pm

I smell a road trip!

I would prefer the west coast, but anywhere could work for me.
