The weekend of July fifth-sixth is also a possibility. Just not the week after, as I will be going on vacation then. :3

The West and East Coasts are the only places in the U.S. that matter.

xDD

Well, I'm located in the Mairtime provinces. Therefore making me exist currently on the east coast. Yay! I'm gonna check to see where Illinois is and then if it's seven hours away, that helps my chances.

ROAD TRIP.

I'd prefer if it was in July so I had more time to plan, but I won't be selfish here.

Plus... Chicago is actually closer to me than Boston.

Asci is hoping to aim towards a Saturday. So if people need to stay there a day, they can crash at his place and play some rock band

I'd like it to be in July also. I'd be able to go instead of worrying about when school ends and such.

This will be so awesome! If only my parents would think it's awesome too...

They keep on saying "Oh yeah, sure, a bunch of people you know from the internet are going to chicago this summer..." Then they make a face like they are saying "RAEP ALERT"

I hate when parents do that... Oh well, they will be wrong when they send me there and I call them saying "Hey, I'm here with Bret Lockerbie, and a bunch of other people, we are going to (so and so place here) see ya!"

And they'll be like ".....lolwut?"

It's a common misconception that rock band is stored at my house. It's actually at my friend Eric's apartment, because that is where about 80% of my friendgatherings occur. Yes sir. But, yes, if an overnight stay is needed, then my house is fine for such things.

Seriously.

Then count me in, Asci. T'was planning on bunking at your place anyway.

Kickass, then! :3

Depending on how many people need to stay the night, my parents might become edgy. Might. I'm old enough to take care of myself, they know that, but I don't know how they feel about 'internet friends' coming to the house. Might have to relocate to the apartment. Again, though, it's all in developmental stages at this point.

Now, let's discuss dates, shall we?

June seems to be the month to do it, though some people prefer July. I'd like to know which you people prefer so that we can decide on the best time. I'm open every weekend in June as far as I can tell, and the first and fourth weekends in July. These Saturdays are June 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th, plus July 5th and 26th.

The 7th is probably out because of school for some of the younger/less ambitious members. Same might apply to the 14th. So, I guess, go down the list, and tell me what dates work for YOU. Because meetups are all about YOU GUYS. :3

I live 5 hours away from Chicago! Too bad I can't drive raise money, nor will my mom let me go to Chicago to meet up with friends.


It would've been nice if I could've gone. Especially to a meet-up in the state where I live.

,

Either June 7th or June 21st will be cool. I don't have work on those weekends. Also, I'll be going their via Amtrak, is the station anywhere near Millennium Park?

lftenjamin says that hes game for a late July.

I get my license at the end of may, by mid to the end of july, I can take my summer road trip, and well I could stop in chicago.

This is all a maybe as of right now though so yea.

Well, I was thinking we'd all meet up near Elmhurst, where I live, instead. That way I'd be able to cover all the parking costs and other stuff. Unless, of course, we end up with more than five people. Then we'd have to think of something else.

Also, I have no idea where the Amtrak station is.
