Woah fizzer will be there! Meet and greet wit the famous game creator sounds awesome :)

New York City is a little biased location Chicago would be much more fair imo.

Nome, Alaska

Maybe Kansas City, MO. since it is like the the middle of the country and people would only have to travel at most half the country. Instead of like the West Coast to NYC

Alright, then, let me adjust the list:

I also made it clear from start of thread that it could be anywhere.

Chicago seems most ideal geographically. And by geographically, I mean suited to me. Austin is fantastic, and there's less chance of seeing Jeff.

I looked into this last year for Chicago venues. And by looked into I mean thought about looking into. But there's probably one there somewhere.

One action item we could add to the agenda is a drinking contest. Everyone vs. me.

Imagine hosting in Austin in the spring/summer

the humidity

Hmm it'll be indoors most likely, no? I've spent a summer in Austin and I don't recall any humidity issues, but I wasn't outside too long during the day. Aura Gourdian's the meteor scientist here, though, so I guess we'll just have to trust him.

But how about NOLA if Austin doesn't work? Plenty of venues, plenty of stuff to do outside the Warzoning (bar-hopping, dining, bar-hopping, riverboats, bar-hopping, fancy buildings, bar-hopping, and did I mention bar-hopping?), and a nice city to boot minus the crack heads.

Now NOLA would actually provide a humidity problem in summer. But yeah, it would be pretty much be inside for the most part. It would be hot, but not excessively hot tbh.

I'll reanimate from the dead real fast to say that if it were in Austin, I'd be attending. It's only an hour from me. Austin has a lot of venues that would be perfectly suitable for an event like this, especially around downtown/6th street. There are also a lot of places in the north of the city that could fit well.

The humidity isn't terrible, unless it's been raining recently. The heat is a total wildcard, however, since it's Texas, and Texas weather likes to go haywire.

sloppy I’ll put you under the table you don’t even drink !!

So, Austin it is? :P

If we can get more expressed interest, then that's what it's looking like. I don't want to plan something only to have like 3 players show up.

I guess the Europeans had quite the advantage in terms of cheap transportation everywhere. Though Austin is fairly central geographically (right in the middle of the Sunbelt), the only cheap option to get there from most places is air, not rail.

Not sure how to work around that. Other than the Northeast (Boswash), it's hard to find connected megalopolises in the US. That said, it seems like cheap travel, lodging, and venues are always a thing in Vegas to get people through the door into the casinos.

So, a hypothetical- if the nearest big city (to where you live) weren't an option, how would you feel about Vegas? I have a hunch Vegas would be the most viable site if everyone had to travel, while any other non-Northeastern city would have a flake problem cause travel and lodging would be hassles.

maybe just have everyone stay at Cowboy's house lol. :)

If I lived on my own that would be an option, but I do not. :P

Tbh, vegas isn't much cheaper than Austin... at least coming from new york... in fact on some days its more expensive.

if you go to Vegas you can hang at some casinos

tbh now's the time if we are to do something. plane tickets are extra cheap, as long as we can somehow verify we're fully healthy before actually meeting up. also, my classes are now entirely online for the remainder of the semester, so i'm no longer restricted by date.

Considering the lack of testing I doubt we could verify if any one of us is healthy. Also, the government needs to just full on quarantine us already. So I would say it's a no go for now. It's not appropriate to do something like this as long as we are at risk.
