Kevin's Watch

One of my concerns is the fact that Albequerque is the desert and we are talking about going in the summer so that means HOT and DUSTY and that spells allergies for me. I was there this past June and it was miserable weatherwise and I lived on claritin. I am not so opposed to Albequerque, I just would prefer if we have it there during a different time of year.

Where is SoonerCon?

I am fine with either city.

I guess it would be Oklahoma's Sci Fi/Fantasy Con...

You'd be right.

I live not so far from Oklahoma City. . . maybe 3 hours. Hmm. . .

How 'bout we say screw Albuquerque (even though I love that city), California, and Oklahoma - and all go to the Chicago Blues Festival next June instead.

It would seem to me that we would want to meet where it would be easy to have SRD join us ... doesn't that suggest NM at a time when SRD can come?

SRD may be in San Francisco at the same time that we would be there, if we're able to coordinate everything.

Dear gods. I voted and now it's tied.

Honestly, I don't care whether we pick Albuquerque or San Francisco. I voted for ABQ because I have wanted, for years, to see the Georgia O'Keeffe museum in Santa Fe, and the last time I was in Santa Fe was on a Monday and the museum was closed. Arrgh. OTOH, I've *never* been to San Francisco.

It looks like the first weekend of June is now out, for me -- my daughter's GS troop is going to Cedar Point Amusement Park that weekend, and I have to go along because I'm the troop leader. (Reminds me of a poster I once saw: "There they go, and I must hurry to catch up, for I am their leader!") Any other date in June, however, remains peachy. But since SRD will be in Soonerville during the second weekend of June, maybe we're shooting for mid-June or later?

Duchess, if I could swing the Chicago Blues Festival, I would be there in a heartbeat! However, I would have to make sure to *not* tell any of my relatives I'm in town, or I'd never get away to hear the music....

Neither local is do-able for me at this time,perhaps we could schedule a southeast regional meeting at some point?Gatlinburg anyone?

Nottingham? London?

For our UK and Aus friends I've added TWO additional options! [Don't want anyone to feel left out ]

I've also "stickied" the thread.

Umm. . . we could always get together in small groups locally, though SRD won't be able to come. Sunbane, you're in Tennessee, correct? Hmm. . . maybe this ought to be a separate thread. What say, Creator? Regional meetings deserve a separate thread?

Sure! Set up one and I'll "sticky" it!

Thankee, kind sir! 'Tis done!
