On February 16-17, there's going to be U-Con at UConn. It's an anime, video game, etc convention, completely free to get in, held in the Student Union of Storrs campus.

So, anyone who wants to come? -
I can't, but perhaps the book expo in NYC? by

I'm in the same situation as son-of-heaven176, unfortunately. Maybe another time.
(I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend the Book Expo in June, though. Because free books. I think it's in the Javits Center this year?) -

New Yorker here, but alas, I have no way to get to Connecticut. But I have a brother in UConn, so I should hear about it from him (hopefully).

Though I am on the east coast (New Jersey), I am otherwise occupied that weekend, not to mention that I don't really have a way to Connecticut in the first place. Have fun for me, those of you that are going!

As I said below, this might be my last chance for quite a while to meet East Coast PPCers, so I'm definitely interested. I'll have to look at my work schedule to figure out a time, but totally going if at all possible.

Were I not already attending a free Con this coming weekend, I would totally make the trip out from Chicago. I'm afraid I can't skip AlmaCon, though. I'm running a panel in the biggest room, and I wouldn't want to disappoint my fans.

Maybe around Seattle, like. Because we have relatives in the Seattle area, and a surprise visit never killed any of our relatives...

Seattle, actually. by

There have been two in Seattle in the last three years, around Emerald City ComicCon, but I think they were before both of your time. The reason I've been prodding people on the IRC about an (North)East Coast Gathering is actually because in about a month, I'll be leaving the area semi-permanently, so it might be my last chance in this region to meet all you folks 'round here.
But yes, there are definitely Northwest US Gatherings. -

I know quite a few of us are going to most likely be at ECCC, but I have no idea if there are official Gathering plans in the works.
(Yup! To Washington! The state, not the Capitol.) -
Well, darn. by

I'll just have to watch the Board EVEN MORE OBSESSIVELY! :D
Yay, you'll be on the west coast! I'd prepare a welcome to the west party, but it's a long drive and I'm lazy. So I'll just throw virtual confetti at you. -throws virtual confetti at you- -
