MA Get Together

[Monkey Turned Wolf]

There's another thread going on, "Getting together for seminars?" That asked if members on here have gotten together in the past for seminars, and a bunch of people stated they'd be up for a meetup like there used to be.

I wanted to create a more focused thread (not to steal @Kababayan's...just that I don't think this was his purpose of that thread), on when/where we could do that, if people are interested.

So far the 3 ideas that popped out are maui, upstate new York, and down south (in America still)...I was thinking northernTennessee (between Kentucky and north carolina). I also think England could be a possibility since we have quite a few members on here who are from England, although I know nothing about England's geography to say anything more specific.

So my question is, who here is legitimately interested/would attend something like this, where would you want it to be held, and when?

 

[Tony Dismukes]

Tennessee or nearby would work for me.

Geography is against us here. This place pretty much spans the globe.

Personally I'd love to meet and train with all the regulars here for a weekend, if it was doable. But I'm in Canada, nowhere near any of you.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I'm in Colorado. But I like to travel. My attendance would depend primarily on the time, not location.

 

[Kababayan]

I wouldn't mind traveling at some point, but with a one year old at home I'm limited to local travel only. If we have more people in SoCal we can do a regional event.

 

[Tony Dismukes]

Unless we have a lot of advance planning, I'm going to be limited to locations that I can make a day trip for. That would be from Tennessee up to parts of Michigan and Indiana to West Virginia.

im in Massachusetts where about in Canada are you?

In new York. I'd be willing to make a bit of a travel to Canada.

What might work is a couple different meetings for people in the same regions.

BC

I'll be in Massachusetts for a couple weeks in October. Maybe we can hook up.

I'd be willing to go to the west coast for a get together. It's only a two-three movie flight.

That would be great.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I'll be in Indiana and Texas in Mid-June, but I'm honestly not sure if I could make contact with anybody. We're on a fairly tight schedule, to make a wedding and an anniversary.

 

[Buka]

That would be great.

I think I'm going to be staying on Cape Cod, maybe Canton MA. Where in MA are you? I forget, was it central Mass?

Yeah , but it's a small state, 2hr drive to the Cape is no big deal .

?

Essex is a lovely place. I don’t know which place is more suitable, but I couldn’t go far from Essex... But I would love it!

 

[frank raud]

I'm in Ontario, upstate New York would be doable for me.

I (probably including the Hobbit) would attend anything that fits my schedule and budget. That Tennessee/Kentucky thing would be close enough to easily drive. My travel schedule, my trips to help care for my mom, etc. make it hard for me to predict what would fit my schedule.

I'll guess this is the case for most of us - those with jobs and families and such. This is where a map of some sort would be helpful. Even if we just knew which part of each state/country/province interested folks were in, it would be easier to find a few locations that might reach several people.

I've never been one for much travel. I get sleepy on any drive over two hours. But I did once jump in my car after work on friday and head to College Station, TX to see my sister. Only, I ended up ibroken down on a Saturday in New Orleans; durring Saint Patrick's day! It was horrible!

 

[Runs With Fire]

If somthing happens to come up within Michigan, Indianna, Illinois, Ohio ( great lakes region) I might stop by. Depending on travel time, time of year. I work fifty hours a week, plus a part time job at home. Add to that, being a husband and a dad of 2. This is probaly the stage where I back off training for a while.
