Any Boarders on the East Coast? by firemagic on 2013-02-03 23:31:00 UTC Reply

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 Rats on 2013-02-08 03:49:00 UTC Reply

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).

It sounds awesome, but sadly, I have no way to come. Tell us all about it, kay?

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!
For sure! by VixenMage on 2013-02-04 19:51:00 UTC Reply

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.

-Phobos, no ego here...honest.

WHY ARE THERE NEVER ANY CONS IN NOR CAL?!

(No, I'm not mad about this, you're crazy.)

Or at least in Oregon. by KittyNoodles on 2013-02-04 00:13:00 UTC Reply

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 VixenMage on 2013-02-04 19:46:00 UTC Reply

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.

Ah. Hmm. by KittyNoodles on 2013-02-04 20:40:00 UTC Reply

I wonder of sommat like that's happening again sometime soon?

Also, you're moving? Where to?

Not totally sure. by VixenMage on 2013-02-05 08:25:00 UTC Reply

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 KittyNoodles on 2013-02-06 05:06:00 UTC Reply

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-

Really? by Ivan the Not-so-Terrible on 2013-02-04 15:42:00 UTC Reply

I've heard of a few in Portland. Never went. Too busy.

NC here, but I can't make it. Sorry :/ (nm) by Riese on 2013-02-03 23:40:00 UTC Reply
