Well, I just had to say it...It would be fun to have an east coast party too... I would be happy to host it at my house (the party, not the sleeping arrangements except for 2 people tops)...I am in Maryland...Would love to do it if there are any others interested! :)

I'm game. I've found a bunch of members who are in the northeast, so we have to take that account as well. Granted Ive also seen a bunch of members from FL, but hey, they have all those bigass hotels, so... :)

yes, I just wanted to get a discussion going...I just figured I am lucky enough to be in the middle! :)

True... I'm just curious to see if there are enough people on this side of the Mississippi to make it worthwhile...

Is Kentucky on the East?
Still finding my way around here :)

Kentucky is practixcally dead middle of the east coast... Welcome to the States. :)

Oh...I would love it. I am in Florida. However, I would have to drive, because...well...I don't leave the bird. He's my bud. You guys'll like him. He's real friendly. ;)

I was born on the East coast .Little fishing village called Whitby

So far, having a meeting place in Massachusetts may be beneficial.... anyone from ANYWHERE in the northeast?

Well, I'm as East Coast as you get baby... NYC Mitch

i'm a new yawker(no it's not yorker...not in brooklyn ;)) through and through and would love to hear more on this if we could get it up and going ..

Hot $#!+, this could actually work... yeah just spread the word and the address to this post. This would be really cool to have. I'll certainly put my fair share in to see it happen.

I'm stuck in Granola Purgatory...er I mean Sodom....er that's Ithaca NY.

???Is germany still eastcoast or too far east??We could meet in the middle.

Orlando here, anyone fromn not so sunny Florida want to meet.

OK lets pitch this into the melting pot.- Lawrenceburg KY 40342 (12 ml south of Frankfort)

• Labour Day Weekend
• We have a 100ft x 100ft side plot for camping.
  

I'm in the northeast, you wont find me unless you have a magnifying glass. We seem to have a NY crowd forming.... so i dunno whatwe can do about that. KY is a long drive from certain parts of NY, especially Ithaca... I'm not in NY, but its prolly just a long of a drive for me. Its probably (actually it is) a shorter drive if you are coming from FL. The setup that you have though Phil is quite tempting though. We are probably going to have to do a repost to try and get more East Coast people into this loop. I cant believe we would be the only ones on this side of the States.

Pervers I think this is a private message for people who don't realise there is any land beyond the shores of the USA

I know where Germany is, ya stewnad. But I dont think we want to rent a cruise ship to meet in the middle of the Atlantic.... or (s)he can take a plane to here in the States.

Hey Phil, that's only about 3 hours from Nashville. Very tempting. ;) Might could even drag Liz (Mehndi) up there too. Russell

If you folks can agree on a time, date and a location, let us know, we may want to cross the Mississippi and join in the festivities. Steve Cooper Curious Labs

btw, I'd vote for Massachusetts- home turf... Steve Cooper Curious Labs

I put my vote in for Massachusetts as well... logically speaking, its probably the best for most northeast states... and not too bad from people in the middle of the east coast.

New York, New York... its a hell of a town the Br... Gotta go, boss coming Mitch

Count me in........hum, that is if I could get thte boss to let me off work :) Nashville, TN Just FYI--Southwest has just opened a flight in Norfolk, VA which is pretty much in the middle of the East coast--not to mention there's a famous beach (and family of mine) nearby.

 

Howsabout the New Yorkers migrate together? There's enough to fill a van I think :) And speaking of which I'm thinking of having an Art Party sometime in Sept - and I'm in Queens, so .... :) Lyrra

Ever been in a van with NYers? It can get quite ugly. Especially when you bring up baseball. ;)

I am smack in the middle of Pennsylvania here. Lived in Maryland for awhile, lived in NY City for a bit, and now I am right back smack in the middle of nowhere with a stinking dial-up. But I am game for a meeting if I can fit it in my schedule. Angela

'nother new yorker here... metting anywhere within three or so hours sounds cool by me... I can't handle more road rage than that... Mass. seems as good a place as any = )

hey no new yorker jokes ..or we'll you'll see what we can do wit baseball bats!! .. j/k .. I like the van idea ..but in heatwave we're trapped in up here ..we'd melt be4 hittin city limits I'd love to go to art party also ...if that was a invite ...

Heh heh, I was kidding... but you can only have so many people (from any state) traveling together in a van during heat waves, etc. will drive them to, well, Hell. :) But yes, we have to set this get-together up, and yes, carpooling is good, but insanity shouldnt be too much of a factor in all of this. But since I'm already insane, I get off on the technicality. :)

That will be an invite - will post NY art party announcement later. Probably not until Sept - so my airconditioner doesn't expire of overwork. This weather is absolutely disgusting. :P My coworker was smugly explaining that it was cooler in Miami. And that's just wrong. Since most New Yorkers (including me) are at the whims of mass transit - arranging a carpool seems like a good idea IMHO. At the very least us new yorkers should try for a museum trip at some point. Gods know we have plenty to choose from. Which all have magnificent air conditioning. A totally OT question - amp3 Why/how is your text blue? :)

Lyrra, its a trade secret, but an extremely simple one. muhahahaha. ;) Anyway, I dont think a museum is the best way to go. The west coast (specifically Cali) is/was sorta planning the same type of thing, and a BBQ was the main theme that they were going for. Which is prolly the best way to go. It lets you get to know your fellow ROers better IMHO. Sure its all about art here, so an art museum would be fitting, but we see that here all the time. What we dont get to see are the individuals behind the screen names that make that artwork. Just my two cents.

I vote for either NY or Maryland...Mass is too far for me

I think he uses html to do the blue ..and i'm down for a field trip !!! ...now which lunch box ..scooby doo .. or rainbow bright ...maybe thundercats ...

I'm seeing a recurring vote for Massachusetts.. were having enough ppl from NY that it wouldnt be too nice to have them travel 5 states for this shindig. I'd do NY (so long as it isnt too upstate), but Maryland wouldnt exactly hit the top of the list for location in my book (or the NYers).

okay, well, I hope it works out! NYC is my limit for travel North. Whatever the case, I am certain it will be fun for whoever goes. If any mid atlantic and southeasterners want to meet here in Maryland, I am happy to host. And any excuse to go to Florida or South Carolina would get me to travel (hint hint)! Anyone near the beach??????

Hey! i know of at least 3 other Marylanders here!

Yeah and there are a lot of NYers here too.... hey im in neither state, but we have to come up with something. This is why i reposted. I wanted this to be a sizable group and in a agreeable spot.

Way to far south but still on the east coast ... Oh well

I might be game. I'm in Pennsylvania... only a few hours from NYC or MD...

go north!!! :)

ah well I'm on the east coast, but I'm like dead center in the carolina area...you guys could all head this way and maybe we could all do Carowinds or something hehe

Why do i get the impression we are gonna need a show of hands on whos from where and what their travel radius is?

I'll go anywhere someone will drive me:) (but no vacation time left so Fri night/sat/sun only) And I'm from NYC, Queens actually. :) So I'm in the middle of the Boswash Corridor.

well I don't drive(have a lead foot), and I don't fly(have a fear of heights)...so my travel radius is tiny...plus lugging a 100lb rottie puppy around is much fun, but I can't bear to leave him...I managed to talk my sweety into driving me as far south as southern georgia once, and as far north as virginia...but with two kids and a dog I don't manage to go far from home.

I live in upstate NY....meeting everyone behind the screen names...that would be interesting. Sharen:)

NY PA MA RI They all get my vote. When yooou live this far south in Florida whats a few more hours of flyin or drivin. Glas

Were neighbors PhilC. Sounds like fun, but I doubt Id actually make it to one.

Well my range is CT, MA, RI, NY, NH, VT, PA... though I'd like to keep it within the first 4.

Dementia... you sound EXACTLY like me. I thought I was talking! I have too many animals and they ARE my children. I hate leaving them. I developed an irrational fear of flying about 10 years ago and, after flying all around the world, I am scared to death now. I hate driving more than 4 hours! So, like TJ it sounds like fun to me, but I doubt I would actually make one unless it was within the drive time, or maybe in Florida. That would depend where in Florida...I can get tranquilizers and fly if I really want to get somewhere. :)

Is this for Labor Day weekend? (i missed something somewhere, i know.) Heck, i'll be in Philadelphia at the World Science Fiction Convention. If anyone else is at WorldCon, i'll be happy to go to dinner with you. How's about it? --Nan

We still havent come up with a location or date. We're organized like that.

I've never flown :)...er well if you count the time I dove off a moving horse head first into the rocky field I guess I have...never in an airplane though...I blame my preacher from when I was an impressionable youngster and he pointed out that the lord said "Low I am with you always"...not a thing about high...so I decided it was safer to stay as close to the ground as possible!...hehe So if you guys are gonna do this up north or too far south then I'm sure I'll miss out...Carowinds is awfully fun guys! come to South Carolina! hehe

sounds like it mite be a good time. I'm in New Hampshire, and I'd be willing to do somthing when plans get finalised. -Gabe-

dementia, I have friends who live in South Carolina. They keep telling me to visit. if I ever get down there I will let you know! They live near Columbia (I think thats the name of the town, anyway)

Actually, I vote NOT for the holiday weekend. I already have plans. Heading down to Maryland to visit some long-lost friends. I am one of the PA'ers. I am voting on not to far north for a location. As long as I don't have to drive more than half a day, I should be able to make it. Angela

Angela, I live in Maryland!
