Re: Possible FFR Convention/Meet-up

chicago is nice and has a lot of history, i was sad i couldnt stop when i was driving through it before. It would be pretty cool to see the sights and meet a bunch of people lol (especially some people that ive been trying to see forever and lacking the funds >.< )

It's an amazing city, you'd love it.

If I don't go down to Florida for the summer, St. Louis and Chicago will be less that 7 hours both for me, so maybe I can work some things out by then...

Re: Possible FFR Convention/Meet-up

Just cleaned up a lot of posts. Please stay on topic. If you want to coordinate your own meetup, do it in a different thread.

EDIT: thread title edited to allay further confusion.

EDIT again: I'd go wherever if I'm free. I think I'd prefer flying in since I don't know if I trust my car anymore on these long trips. I can rent a car if that's necessary, and I imagine it will be.

EDIT the third: Actually the thought of having an FFR van is really entertaining. Maybe I'll do that so I can drive around a whole bunch of y'all haha.

That'd be pretty fun. xD I know Flipsta was considering driving in and would offer rides if he does. Eurostud said him and Danceguy could make the drive if the convention is in Chicago and if they aren't busy. I'll have to get them to post in this thread to clarify. The FFR van would be nice since we wouldn't have to wait on anybody driving in though. 8)

I'm in IL, but right next to STL. Obviously I'm voting there. Depending on my job/college/and trip to CO to visit my dad, I might not be around to do it. I was reading hoping it wasn't going to say end of June haha. But that's okay. I will try to get more info as to how available I will be when the date rolls around.

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

I've gone to a gigantic 200 plus person meetup in Chicago before, for parkour

We crammed 20 people into a two room apartment and I had to sleep on the kitchen table, plus it was in a shady place. As long as you don't go anywhere alone you should be fine, and like Halogen said, the NICE places are the tourist places, which is most likely where we'll be. I've been there dozens of times as well, since I only live around 3 hours away.

Distance-wise, Chicago is perfect for me as well as Peter (danceguy) and Mick (ickalanda). The only problem for me is that I'm traveling to Japan for 3 weeks in either June or July, but the exact date is still undetermined. So hopefully it will be a different time frame so I can go too

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

Alright so I decided that on January 2nd I'll start taking votes on dates. I'll try to get a mod to change the poll when the time comes. (Or I'll keep track in the first post. I'm fine with either.)

Thanks for all of the votes so far!

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

I would love to go, but unfortunately I wouldn't be able to pay for the trip. Maybe if I win some money by then haha.

lame ;_;

A new poll on dates is up now. There's June 24th and 25th or July 1st and 2nd. Vote for whatever works best for you or both of them if they both work.

At this point I'll also start keeping track of people who will plan on attending and those who may be able to attend. Post if you are able to or may be able to make it depending on the dates mentioned above and I'll add you to the appropriate list. I have a few names on the lists from what I've gathered from my random thought before. If your name is on a list and your stance has changed, please let me know.

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

If it's during June - July I don't see how I couldn't make it.

I won't know which date works best until I get out of school... The 23rd is my birthday and I have yet to plan anything for that.

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

I live in Illinois, like 30 minutes or so from Chicago, so I may go.

Re: Possible Midwest FFR Convention/Meet-up

Aj and I are going to try our hardest to get out there. But we're going to have to see how we are money wise for getting there. I'm also trying to see how travel works with a baby. I know on airlines you don't need to purchase a ticket for them but they have to stay on your lap. It's only a 2 hr flight if we fly though so that's not so bad. Anyways will keep you updated.
