From an Idea Godo tossed out here. I'm all for it. It'll give us a chance to prove that we're not just a bunch of anti-social basement-dwelling pasty-faced geeks with no social skills!* I say "why not?"! Pick a weekend and a place and I'll bring the Missus and my unborn spawn! We could make a day of CT, FC, RT, and MST3k! Consider it, won't you? Thank You! *We can sit in a dim room, not talk to each other, and watch our little-known cult sci-fi show TOGETHER!!

And as I suggested, if it were in or near Philly some of us Marylanders could come too!

I'd be game, even though I am an anti-social basement-dwelling pasty-faced geek with no social skills.

I don't have a basement, but the rest of it applies.

Actually, to pull my own reply out of that thread and include it here (instead of rewriting it):
It would be great to have a chance to meetup. I've met up with other Firefly fans around Philadelphia in the past, actually, and that has been totally worth it. MSTies, I'm sure, would be a really fun bunch - we've all got an excellent sense of humor! :-)

So are these "yeses" to the idea itself and/or to moving ahead with the idea?
If so, anyone want to offer suggestions as to a where? Anyone want to step up to host or should we look at renting a conference room?
I'll drag you guys kicking and screaming into making this happen if you'll let me.

I am HIGHLY in favor of this idea. I just have no idea as to where.
I mean, I have a house, and a large screen TV. But lets face it, I also have a wife and a baby at home, and I don't really know any of you. You understand my hesitation, right?
So any ideas as to where?

I go to college at Rutgers Camden. I may be able to set something up there.

Like I said. Hotel Conferance room may be the best way to go. That way people could rent individual rooms if need be.

How far is everyone from New Castle County, DE? Use Zipcode 19711 to get a rough idea.
Any objections to using this area as our "Middle Point"?
RepSam, is this going to be too far for you from where you are in MD?

What about the Chicago area? Not to be rude, but perhaps you should start your own thread. Chi-town is a bit of a ways away from us here in the Delaware Valley. (South Jersey, Philly, Delaware, ect..)
