After the recent video escapades of our British cohorts, I got the feeling that a meet is going to be needed this fall.

I'm recommending a late September or mid October showing, what do you guys think?????

Firstly, where would this fantastic meeting taking place? Because if it's close enough so that I can actually attend, I will make suggestions.

I don't want to make a bunch of suggestions and then not even attend, I'd feel like an ass.

edit: also, 500 posts!

Generally we do this up in London, but I do have an apartment this time around if you guys really wanted to hit shit up here.

I'm down for this.  However, as I was saying at the last meet, I'm living at a new house now.  There's less room for parties and it'd probably be a better idea to have this meet somewhere else, but my place is still an option I guess.

I'm interested, but I don't really know anyone that well.

If Izekeal's place is out, we can't be too loud here but we would be able to do it here.

You guys can taste the marvel of how shitty a town Hamilton is for yourselves.

Oh man, I am so up for this.

I'll also open up my house to host. I have lots of space for people to crash and we wouldn't have to worry so much about keeping quiet. Downside being I'm closer to Detroit than I am to Toronto which would make for a hell of a drive for anyone who came from Ontario. Upside being that because I'm close to Detroit we could wind up with more Michiganders at the meet.

The other (perhaps the biggest downside) is that there is literally nothing to do in Kingsville.
Check it out! I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year!

I think this would be a great idea.  It's a little further for some people to drive, but it'll give us a change of scenery as well as an actual house to hang out in.  Also, if we can't find anything to do, there's always Karaoke Revolution

Wheeeeee

Also if you are planning this soon (eg this year) I probably can't go but once I get into college (next year) it shouldn't be a problem. Also only if its near Detroit.

WARNING: Poster is buzzed, please excuse any errors.

Anyway, I'd be more than happy to host a meet. I have the space for everyone to sleep inside the house (unless you really want to sleep outside in which case be my guest). I wouldn't go so far as to call Kingsville 'shitty' but it's not exactly a hot party spot, either. Short of going to the bird museum or the petting zoo there isn't much to do here. We could drive ten minutes into Leamington and go see a movie...I've got really cool neighbours who usually don't get bent out of shape about parties. There are a number of good places to eat so the morning-after breakfast run could happen unabated- we'd just go to the Chuck Wagon or Noster's.

I'm about 40 minutes inside Canada. It's a very nice drive- well worth it, especially if you stay the night.

You're in charge of bringing the PS2 because I don't own one.

OK, if we're cool with having it at my place... The last weekend in September is out because I've got band stuff. The weekend of 13-14 October is also out because of band stuff. 10-11 November, again, is out because of band. That leaves me pretty well wide open. Unless you all are coming down next weekend you're going to miss the pool being open because it gets closed for the season after that. Mid-October would be wonderful- hell, we could even do it during the last weekend of October and do Halloween themed shit.

Let me know what you all think.

I'll probably be working, which sucks.

PS needs 300% more Karaoke Revolution.

I'll be free for any weekend, as far as I know.  Having it close to Halloween would be cool; I'd go as Jesus, of course.

Like I said I wouldn't be able to go until I am in college due to my parents' attitude summarized as "FUCK NO YOU WILL NOT MEET INTERNET PEOPLE THEY WILL RAPE/KILL YOU"

I might be up for this if it's in October .. the drive seems painful but we can carpool if needed and contribute to gas moneys. Since it's on the way, I'd be willing to carpool people from London

Thanks for the offer, that'd be great; I can help out with gas money.  I'd also be willing to pitch in to rent a vehicle if we need to, although I remember that you have access to a van so I guess we won't need to rent anything.
