i was thinking late next spring, if anyone has ideas for places to have it, by all means do mention.

Little Buffalo State Park not very far from my place, as long as school(not college) is still in session its easy to find a big spot to use if need be.

there also is Knobles and HersheyPark, tho Knobles is alot less crowded and more in the country then HersheyPark.

sorrycharlie

You're near Little Buffalo shortynickel? Wow, Perry County represent! I'm like 5 minutes away from there.

Hektore

I live about 10 minutes south of Williamsport and go to college about 30 mins down 26 from State College, so as long as it's within an hour or two driving distance of either of those places you can count me in.

Ktspktsp and I are between State College and Philly, so basically anywhere along 76 or its environs would be great. Who's planning this thing?

I'm in.
If the northern Pocono's are in play, I might be able to get a couple of cabins (small houses) there on an inreadable lake, if I have enough notice.

It doesn't matter where, as much as when.

Keep it going, and I'll look forward to metting all of you somewhere.

Please do, shorty... we'd much 'preciate it. Maybe we can throw a sticky in the Discussion board to get more PA folk's attention?

Shortynickel - did you have any dates in mind? I do not have job/working restrictions at this point, but a ballpark figure might be good to get some feedback. Does Late February or March work for anybody?

I'm in DC (well, College Park Maryland), but would gladly come to a meet if I could get a ride from someone, and assuming that it didn't conflict with school or spring break.

i was thinking late may early june as to not conflict with college schedules. tho feb or march works we will prolly need to find a place that we can do it indoors cause its usually snowy then.

Both Quadro and I would be interested, of course depending on scheduling!

As long as it's a weekend, we can manage.

There definitely seems to be enough interest - it may be time to figure out exactly where everybody would be coming from, and come up with a few places that might be in the middle?

I'm good for eithter the Feb/March or May/June window.

I like Feb/March, since in May/June I usually jet out of town pretty quick... not to mention it would be nice to have a late winter break.

Let's set a date and place and do this thing!!

amonkie

I'm open on the dates, but depending on whether it is west/Central PA or closer to Philly, i'd have to factor in more/less driving time.

What about dates in the weekends of Feb 17-19 or 24-26? Valentine's Day falls midweek, so for those of you who wanted to spend the weekend prior with a SO, this won't conflict.

We could probably do Philly on Feb 17-19 or Central PA on 24-26th.

Anyone else?

I'm in Philly and would love to attend. Lebanon-Lacaster-Harrisberg works
I work in sales, so I'm free when ever I want.

I would like to see you all in the Philly area, for selfish reasons.

Shorty, can you switch my availability dates? We had an event come up that reversed out driving schedules. Thanks!

Oh, and please add ktspktsp to the list, since he would be attending too.

This is shaping up to a great list!

I'm still in the air as I wait to hear about jobs in order to know my exact schedule. The closer to cental PA, the less driving time for me, which cuts it down from about a 7 hour drive to 5

If we're really looking at dates in February, at this point can someone(s) suggest a meeting place in an area that works for them on one of the specific dates that seem to work for everybody? Those who could make it there can yay or nay ...

JustJess

Yes, Quadro should be on the list too, since he goes where I go (assuming he's not rehearsing or something). So... central PA on the 17th-19th, or Philly on the 24th- 26th.

Shortynickel - can you add a poll?

Thanks to analog for adding the poll ...

__________________

abaya

For the poll, either date works for us (as long as the locations don't change from what is specified). So I didn't vote... but basically we can do either one. Let's make this happen!!

Oh, goodie! Maybe I can get in on the Jess/Quadro ride (wink, wink)... I voted for the 24th-26th because I hope to be playing ultimate winter league finals that weekend. Make me strong, strong maybe for that second weekend and I'll probably know for sure in a week or two.

Well if this thing is going to happen in Central PA, we can use my house but hopefully its nice out like it is right now.
