Blue Charvel Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Okay, so I'm willing to open my doors to all you knuckleheads if you're into it. Going with Terry's suggestion for starters, how about June 27, 2009 at my house? I figure it's roughly midway between the western US and Western Europe and all points in between where most of us seem to hail from. I'm also open to other suggestions, but since no one said anything I'm throwin' my hat in the ring. I've got 3.5 acres, a deck and a grill which I know how to use. I would propose this to be a family friendly event in most respects, although there will most certainly be beer and possibly a band or two? What are your thoughts? Let's plan this baby and make it happen. If an alternate location/venue is proposed I am more than willing to give that a go as well. Who's up for it?

Evil Rick Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's plenty of notice so I think if I started saving now and at the same time started working on the wife I should have an ok by May '09. We'd probably get a sitter for the kids and have it be just her and I, with it being a nice little trip out to the East Coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullethead Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Would be KILLER! Why 2009 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed demon Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds GREAT to me. I would definitely make the trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsane Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Would be KILLER! Why 2009 though? I suggested that just so I could start recouping some $$$ after a long lay off... Figured by summer of 09 should be in the $ again and ample to time to finalize all the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Holidays being well (I can't book that far in advance at work, but I will sort something) Count me in. Always wanted to come over to the US, so this is as good an excuse as anything. Nothing too much to arrange here bar plane ticket etc. Pete - you may be able to advise me on a few hotels etc, nearer the time, 'cos if I come over, I was thinking of obviously staying over for a few days and take in some of the sights as well . Excellent idea and I hope a few people will be able to make this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Charvel Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Travel info... I don't think I can forward my travel site search results, but you would want to search (I use Orbitz.com or Sidestep.com) for hotels near Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889. Airports I would recommend Newark, NJ (EWR) which is by far the closest, Philadelphia, PA (PHL) isn't bad either and lastly JFK in NY (JFK) which is a crappy airport and a shitty ride, but may be the best choice for the international travelers. I find myself having to fly out of there more often than not when traveling abroad. Time permitting, I will do my best to assist anyone up to and including picking you up at the airport if I can. Basically whatever I can do to make this easier for any of you I will do, this would be totally worth it IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Charvel Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds like it would be a lot of fun! I'll be sure to pick up some good beer if you're coming. I know you're a fellow beer snob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the point of it is to get everyone together as opposed to separate international chapters. Separate meets would defeat that purpose. The next one would be at another location more convenient for those living in Western Europe most likely, at least that's the way we're looking at it so far...

metalmaniac777 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 ...whatever I can do to make this easier for any of you I will do...totally worth it IMHO. Can you drive to upstate New York, convince my wife to let me go, drive me back to your place, pay for all my food/lodging, then drive me back home when the event is over? That'd be swell. Oh yeah, and bring me some free Rockarma & Farcry CDs. Thanks. You're da best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
