ShoreLeave EAST (?)

[Guest STSF_Hawser]

Ok folks,

 

this is not a formal announcement or anything, just seeing if there is reasonable interest in an East Cast (north east region) gathering in 2008.

This is open to anyone, but is geared towards those of us who could not make it to vegas because we either live too far away or could not make it due to work.

 

 

dates/locations are open for discussion, but I am going to throw a few ideas out there:

 

Possibly around the I-Con convention in April by Stony Brook University on Long Island, NY

 

some gathering in Manhattan

 

or

Atlantic City

 

as I said, I am just seeing who might be interested and when people might be available. I would like to have something early enough so that people can schedule flights, travel, hotel, etc, in a good amount of time (perhaps 5 or 6 months in advance).

Let me know -- I make it to the New York/Baltimore area occasionally to see rl contacts, and I might be able to time that out.

Id definitely be interested in something like that. There was no way I could make it all the way out to Vegas but around the north east I would be able.

That seems like it would be a lot of fun!

NYC is a do-able commute for a bunch of us out here. (I can think of about 4 or 5 offhand). I'd love to stop in if that is what you decide on. I'd recommend doing it in conjunction with the convention

I-CON would be cessible via train (about a 1hr 45 min to 2 hr ride) from manhattan to Stony Brook,

 

unless any of you know about a convention in NYC?

Not off the top of my head. Probably be able to make something along those lines. (Can drive to I-Con)

Well, you know, we'll just have to have Shoreleave Far East while you're waiting for the pinko commie North Koreans to try and waltz across the DMZ again. (No disrespect intended, of course. I don't believe a word coming out of Pyongyang)

[Guest STSF Muon]

I'd be interested. I wouldn't mind visiting ground zero if it would be close enough for a visit.

Agreed. It's the one "big" thing in Manhattan I haven't managed to hit yet.

I could, theoretically, go, but I intend to go on leave for Christmas. So I don't know if I'll be able to leave for Shore Leave. :)

Definite interest here! After living in the desert for 20 years it takes all my resolve to get up enough courage to get to Vegas. Personally I love the Baltimore site - very family-oriented, lots of fun.

I gotta agree with the good commander here. Baltimore is a good spot to use . . .Or it could be the fact I can make the drive to Baltimore in less than an hour! For me I could manage NY but Atlantic City, Baltimore, Heck even Philly would be a whole lot closer for me to get to. Last time I was in NY it wasnt even the city and I was on the road for 14 hours straight. I never slept so good in my life! But anywhere works in the NE at least!

Well i might be able to make it from Australia if i have enough notice. I have plenty of leave up so maybe its time i take some of it. Would love to make it if i can.
