I offer my hospitality as host here in Grand Rapids, if that's what everyone would like to do. I don't know what the availability of my house will be - although it's generally quite easy to keep empty - but even if we're not able to spend time here, I know the town quite well, and I think I can keep us in trouble for some time.
I was in Chicago last weekend, but it was a school trip and I didn't really want to get expelled by "getting lost" and hanging out with you guys at Dave & Busters or something.
Locals might want to keep in mind that it's not impossible that this is the closest thing we'll /get/ to a Gathering this year, short of the madness that will be GenCon.
Moo, Chicago is just too far away. Lansing is a bit of a drive for me, GR even moreso, but seeming that we'd have people coming in from many directions, I think GR would be the best centralized location. What day is best for people? We have that weekend of the 18th-20th as biggest potential for Szech and I to get there.
To the entire world, you may be one single person, but to one person, you may be the entire world.
I don't really know the lay of the land, so I'm just gonna vote for wherever is most central, unless there's entertainment that trumps the inconvenience of driving further.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
It was interesting. Didn't get to pick up any hoes on Division Street, but we drove in circles round GR a lot. Listened to cheesy rap music and ate ice cream. And Paul almost kicked a DJ's ass. And Szech buddied up with the kids. We made an ice cream totem and set it on the porch of this house in GR. And we watched some of Lord of the Rings. All in all, a good time.
