Well I know for a fact that I can't afford to fly to the states.
Now throwing out the idea of a UK meetup for those who live here/are crazy enough to fly 3000 miles to meet the FSTDT britons.

Odds are I could set something up for NYer and Canadians in the general vacinity of rochester NY, but other than that I was considering pestering LR in chicago, but I need to get some details hammered out here at work first.

Honestly, New York is closer to me and I have family there I could stay with, so.... yeah, if you arrange a NY meetup, Distind, I'd probably go to that one before Chicago. Sorry, guys!

I think NY would work equally well for me.
But I also agree that it depends on the dates completely.
I like the idea of a UK and probably an Aussie meetup as well? For those who won't be in the states.

I might be able to pan out a New York meetup in August. Just have to get my finances in order. Dates?

Maybe in 2010. I don't think it's possible for me this year.

Small area meeting might be nice this year, but I think we should start thinking of something bigger for next year.
I think if we pool our resources that is no reason we could not plan a FSTDT weekend sometime next year. I'm thinking a block of rooms at a decent hotel were ever people what to meet. If we can get a good idea of how many people would be interested we could come up with a total cost and then try to get enough money to cover most of everyone's expenses.

St. Cloud, MN -- this way there will be myself, Aqualung, SaveTheBales, boxershorts, Oriet, MagniZeal, Redhunter.
Redhunter can pack Carico in his trunk!

You know, maybe we ought to start thinking about what's closer for the most people. That would make more sense.

I'd be interested in a UK one, but only if it was in Belfast (obviously)/London/Edinburgh. Plane fares skyrocket anywhere else.

If I save money this year, I might be able to go on a trip before I go off to university in 2010 (assuming I make it in to one). Of course, it would all depend on where it was being held. I like this idea!

Okay, I'll just put it out there that Minnesota and New York are the best locations for me because I'm a bum and don't want to pay for a hotel I have family in or near both places that I can sofa-surf with.
I agree with DV that we should definitely start thinking about pooling money and arranging having a proper get-together sometime next year--though I have no objections to small meetups before then! I especially want to meet Armand before he disappears from this continent.
