East Coast
after Finals
i'll come!
-
"they"? Don't talk about your superiors that way :D.
-
I love it how NEITHER thread has attendees spelled correctly. :p
-
I'll head out eventually, but I'd like to buy a burger van first.
So.... *shrugs*
-
I'd rather die.

i just copied/pasted the thread title (wanted it to look exactly the same), and changed London to USA :)
-
I live in Boston. My son is due May 32st, so, I expect I will be out of pocket a good chunk of the summer. There are a few HLP folk I would like to meet, and some I wouldn't ;)
There is a more or less standing invitation for folks to ping me if they are ever in town. If I can make it work, I am happy to share a pint.

32st

I need not say anymore. :p
-
How does that even inflect? Thirty-secost? Yeah yeah, I get it. A typo. I didn't want to point it out, but they started.
-
Hmm. Well, Goober's near Washington, and I'm near Philly, and we meet every once in a while. I had a rendezvous with Sandwich in New York when he was over here visting family.
I guess the best bet would be for all of us to post our real-world locations, and if any of us are making a trip to someone else's locale, to PM them and look them up.
-
I second this.
-
There's a good chance I'll be all over the Northeast in August.
-
DC has the largest number of people within a 12-hour drive than any other city in the USA. :D
-
Do you mean HLPeople or all people? or both?
-
USA people.
-
DC works for me. I'm not living there anymore but my parents are in the outskirts and I tend to go there every two months or so.
Although there's no way I would go if it was a 12 hour drive. :p
-
I'm pretty close to DC too so that'd be pretty sweet, otherwise something within a days drive might be possible. Sometime in the summer months (June-August) would work well. :)
-

Well its about 6 for me, would be a nice long weekend.
-
DC is manageable. Weekends are really great as far as accomodations go, too--you can get some nice deals on hotels in Arlington. After all, they have all this space, but they're only using it during the week.
August is a good month, too, as most everyone has some time to travel that month, and it's far enough ahead in the future that we can request off from our respective workplaces.
There are five weekends available. Think we should pick one? :D

Your son will be 32 stone when he's born!!!! :eek2:
You won't be out of pocket for very long, advertisers and newspapers will be throwing money at you!

I will be over there at the end of August anyway, for this (http://www.brickfair.com). Some time that weekend would be good for me. Earlier in the month may work, but I can't say for sure. I may be working somewhere in the summer and haven't finalized my plans for that yet.
-
i say we do later... after summer. because i have plans this whole summer. i'll be in NYC July 4th for a week, but have plans, otherwise i'd meet up.
so i guess meeting in DC (or thereabouts) seems to be the concensus? fine with me!
-
ooooooh.... BrickFair. I think it's safe to say that if Goober and I can meet you there we will. Are you registering?
-
Yes, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
-
sorry, no way i'm going to a lego meet....
we're older now guys... we're supposed to go to a bar or something...
-
Oh of course we'll go to a bar and just hang out, but if a few of us want to head over to the public expo for a few hours, why not? :D
-
It's a long time for me (Upstate NY) to DC. I won't be able to stop in to any meet on the way down. I'll be in Miami in September.
-
sooo when's this gonna happen?
-
Last weekend in August (29, 30, 31) looks like.
-
Where though?
-
also depends who's in...
as much as i love ya'll, i don't think i'd be up for spending $700 out of pocket to come and hang out with 2 of you.
-
If it's any further east than Carson City I'm out.
-
yea i liked the idea of the Chicago meet but anything off of alaska airlines routes is out of the question. also you want to do it somewhere with a big airport hub since a good many of us would have to fly in. i dont currently have the funds for anything at the moment.
-
well if you want a big airport hub, houston is the place to meet... it also happens to be the headquarters for continental and another airline (i forget which)
-
Chicago should be fine for a "huge airport hub", but I'd think we need some local HLP'ers to be there, to save money on taxis. I'm actually thinking of going to a meet in New Brunswick, NJ, with a number of overclockers and crunchers from XS.
-
Interesting. New Brunswick is something like a 15 minute drive from where I live.
-
There is a Rush concert in the D.C. area July 19th that I was thinking of going to. Only a 4 hour trip for me and my younger brother lives in Germantown MD.
-
CP, I thought you lived in MD?
-
if all of us fly into the same airport at MORE OR LESS the same time, then i'll just rent a limo or something, so we can all hang out at the airport for a few hours till we all arrive (sit at a restaurant or something - stay in touch via cells), and then when we're all there, get the limo to take us to our hotel (we'll all stay in the same hotel of course)
-
is this gonna be one meet or is it gonna be a bunch of regional ones? i could probably go to a big one, so long as it has a nearby a big name theme park. i don't know if a regional will cut it might be interesting but probably not worth the cash if its alot (unless it coincides with a death/black metal concert/festival). what we can do is merge the two hlp partys together and we can all go to canada and have the party at axems place :D
is absinthe legal there? and what about weed
-
CP, I thought you lived in MD?
I moved last summer.
-
Whats the budget for your entertainment guys?
I may well provide strippers and paintball, or just paintball strippers..........
-
no strippers. morally clean.
-
I'm in Italy :(
-
Try the HLP London thread, assuming that's not too far for you. :)
-
But I'm not English...
-
I fail to see the problem here. People are planning two separate HLP meetings. One in the Yanks and one somewhere around London. Choose or skip.
-
But I am a Yank, not an Englishman...duh...
-
Mobius--fly to the USA so I can smack some sense into you! :lol: And get on MSN for once. I go on most days but you're never on. :doubt:
Anyways--CP--we're looking at a late-August date for the meet with XS members.
-
who's coming up with these dates?
-
But I am a Yank, not an Englishman...duh...[/i][/color]
Well, fly off to Yankeeland, then. Geez. Why is it so hard? Choose: the USA meeting, the London meeting or Home Sweet Home. Or arrange your very own HLP Rome meeting or something. Even the period after this sentence cares.

A prime example of a good debate (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53207.80.html)

lol
-
it would be cool if he showed up at the meet, we could steal all his little colored pegs. :D
-
this has the potential to be a lot of fun, btw...
-
Totally unrelated, I'm aiming to be in the US either in Late September/Early October or Late Jan early Feb of 2009 depending on whether it's at the beginning or the end of my trip. Going to New York, Minnesota and Pennsylvania to visit friends and possibly LA if I can get a free stopover on my way back home. So if anyone will be in that area at those times, let me know.
-
I will!!! :D
srsly, send me an email or something. You're like the first person I ever got to know in the community.
-
let me know too; i'll join ya'll if it's OK :)
-
M-M-M-MONSTER BUMP!!!
So it's August. Are we still up for this? Goobie, CP and myself are all going to be in the Washington DC area Labor Day Weekend, though of course it doesn't all have to revolve around Lego. :)
-
M-M-M-MONSTER BUMP!!!
Don't get P1553d and climb the whitehouse fence.........................unless you really want to :lol:
-
sry, visiting gf in dallas on labor day weekend.
can we do it a little later? mid to late september? :/
-
South Beach (Miami) sound good?
-
I'm thinking the DC area or somewhere in the midsection of the east coast would be closer to more people.
-
Miami would be more fun, though.
