2000 miles?  That's only 80 hours of driving at 50Miles/Hour.  You wussy.  Break into your dads BMW, steal your grandma's credit cards for gas and get moving.

I'd love to go, but being a broke college student on the east coast makes that rather difficult...

That's good to know, then. Though it'll probably be on a day I have school, sadly. And even if it isn't, I'm not sure I want to roadtrip up to Seattle from Boise, Idaho just for a meetup. I dunno.

Weakling. I'm from near Sacramento, CA. In fact a small handful of us were.

I can't believe there isn't more support for this. There's just a bunch of naysayers. What happened to all those from last year? 'Cept for Sir Finkus. He's here. If I didn't have such a horrible memory, I'd start messaging a bunch of the people who were there last year.

So, should we shoot for late May? It seems like it's getting later each year by about two weeks. "It's not quite annual, it's 12-and-a-half-month-ualtm!"

If it was anywhere remotely close to San Francisco, I'd totally be down. Not sure what I'd do when there, aside from ATTEND PARTY, but I still think it'd be worth it.

It's in Seattle. I live in Lake County. If you aren't a complete creepface, I don't think I would mind carpooling, but I'd have to ask whomever is going with me. If anyone.

This reminds me - are there any other Hali DF players? I've yet to meet/hear of one, but I'd love to have a however-small meetup if I'm not alone out here.

I used to live outside Halifax, although I'm in Ontario for a while yet.

Oy, if anything does get planned and it happens to be in some remote, inaccessible area like the United States and us foreign dwarves can't pathfind to it, any chance of getting a live stream going if anything interesting starts?

I'm for this as well (although I'm sure the Adams Brothers won't be on account of the length of the flight).

Although one in the UK would suit me better, I think it probably makes a bit more sense that if it was 'over the pond' it should be continental Europe, makes it more easier for everyone I suppose.

Do it in Heidelberg. I liked Heidelberg.

Why don't you just go anyway, hide in a corner reading a book, observing from afar with the occasional furtive glance? If anyone comes over and tries to welcome you in to the fray, deny all knowledge of 'Dwarf Fortress' and just walk out.

Mmmm

Based in the tone of most of the posts here, a DF meeting could have the highest sociopath per capita ratio compared with any other congregation. (Except may be the Philatelic Society)

That must be a hell of a party!!

Sadly i live in a country far, far away, I`m sure it would be a lot of very interesting people there.

There have been meet-ups before with no issue. See http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=34366.0

'08 was in April and '09 was in May

You understand this means it HAS to be June, right?

(Especially since I'm facing criminal charges and my trial date is in may, so if it isn't late June, I'm SOL. Of course my financial situation means I'm SOL anyway, so oh well.)
