HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
Alright, my fellow Americans: it's about time to have some fun just like our fellow Londoners are. :p

Since the US is huge and we can't possibly meet all in one spot, I think it would be best to organize it into different meets, depending on region:
HLP West Coast--somewhere that accommodates anyone from Washington to Long Beach, West Coast to the western edge of the Rockies.
HLP Central--somewhere for our resident Texans, Coloradans, and anyone else living between the Rockies and the Mississippi.
HLP Midwest--this goes north to Minnesota and Wisconsin, south to Florida, but no further east than Ohio.
HLP East Coast--New Yorkers, DC, Carolinas, etc.

Possibly around the Spring Break season, so more people will be free..any takers?

Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
I live and Denver, and have a fairly small travel radius, can't legally drink, but I'd certainly make an effort to go to any such gathering.

EDIT:

And yeah, I suppose having one US gathering would be kinda like having an Euro gathering. It's just a lot of travel for something like that

Yep. The reason why HLP London has done so well is that with the exception of Free Terran we all actually live or work within a 8 mile radius.

Do we even have 2 US HLPers who live in the same city?

Judging from the clustermap, I would doubt it. We do have people that live fairly closely though, mostly in the New England area though.

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
Well I guess the nice thing is when the Strogg start nuking cities, they can only take out 2 hlpers at a time in the US.

Anyway, I'm down for anything I can get to.

I think Stratcomm lives near me, but he is always really busy doing ultra secret IBM stuff.

Nobody else around Raleigh, NC?

Me and KappaWing live within about an hour or so of each other. Metro Detroit, FTW!

I live about halfway between LA and San Fran on the coast (Monterey), so I'm down if the West coasters and Arizona types want to chill somewhere out here.

If one were held in NorCal, I would attend.  Oregon is too far for me to travel, and I refuse to travel to SoCal.

Re: HLP USA - Who wants to give it a shot this time?
I am in Princeton, NJ and places between roughly NYC and Washington DC would work for me, although it could be a long time before I'm free for anything. Galemp works very close to where I live and we met a few times last month.

I live in the general Philly area, although I don't know that I'd be willing to actually attend one of these things.  We introverts tend to like keeping to our own affairs. :p
