If this has already been done and I missed it (or tried to be) forgive me.
This Forum should hold a convention...an actual real life event that members will show up to, and get to meet each other face to face. If there is enough interest, I will do some work to try to organize the event, but I WILL WANT HELP!!!
When: my thoughts are next summer, a year from now. It will probably take that long to get this thing organised, and we don't want to conflict with any holidays.
Where: somewhere mid-country, such that both coasts would be equally disadvantaged with traveling distance. Hey, how about Minneapolis?
Actually Chicago would probably be better.
What: we want to try and get a deal with a hotel for a large group event. Also some events, probably based around eating and drinking...maybe a boat ride on Lake Michigan?
It would be really cool if we could get Dave to show up, and address the crowd!
This will cost you money to do. If we can't get at least 40-50 people that want to do this, it won't happen. Right now I'm just floating the idea to see if it has any chance of flying.
Thoughts??
