WAAIT!!!! Don't get your hopes up too high yet... This is still in the idea process... we don't even have a host yet, although eruheran and I are pretty good candidates.

Anyways, right now this will not realistically happen...but hey, we can try! First off we'd need to find out who and how many people could attend based on location...so I'll start spurting out some places that may be in range for a HW convention for us, and if you can realistically come to one of them say so.

Better yet, I'll make a poll...

If you'd like to request another city in the South East please say so...

* points to miniscule dot in Florida * Here. My home town. . .

Probably won't be happening. ;)

Anyway. . . how about Jacksonville? Or Gainesville? If not, Atlanta might work.

Hmm...interesting bump there on the graph. :D Jacksonville is too far south for us, so Gainsville is too, likely. Atlanta is on the poll, so vote on that one. :D

The only ones I could make are the ones in NC... I might be able to beg and plea for the ones in TN and MAYBE the ones in GA...buuuut...it's highly unlikely. :P

I could probably go to Anderson, Toccoa, Colombia, Charlotte, or Atlanta. The others are slim possibilities except for Augusta. I might be able to co-host with someone but I couldn't take the responsibility myself.

I could probably make Atlanta and the surrounding area (and Jonathan, too, obviously)...

No, I'm from Florida like Miss Elly. I was just saying that I doubt I would be able to go to a convention beyond GA.

Ah, I see :)

@Namor: I don't think Toccoa is necessarily a good place to meet :P There aren't many major roads near it :P

Yeah... Atlanta might not be the best in terms of traffic. As far as I've seen they're pretty busy in there.

We could pick someplace on the outskirts of Atlanta... It is the place that most people can come... (currently)

Ok, I'm curious. Five votes for Toccoa? That was mostly a joke. o.0 I know three of those are Eru, Sui and I, but the other two? o.0

For now it looks like Atlanta. :D

Ooh... We'll see.... The school year is tricky for me in general, but I know I'm busy near the end of Oct.

I could probably make it to Toccoa, but I'd love for it to be in Atlanta... Or Lilburn. ;)

I will almost definitely be in Atlanta the weekend before Thanksgiving for the National Missionary Convention, if any Georgians want to try and congregate then. We're usually there three days.

Toccoa is in 2nd. o.0

Let's hypothetically say the weekend before Thanksgiving in Atlanta. Who can come then? We would need someone who can host, and figure out an exact location. There are two state parks near Atlanta, Sweetwater Creek state park, and Panola Mountain state park. If you live near Atlanta and have been to one of those, please let us know if the experience is pleasurable. ;)

Who can attend that hypothetical convention?

I haven't looked too much in detail, so it may be. :D I need to check, but that will be when we are more definite.

How about Victoria (British Columbia, Canada)? Or maybe Oregon (In the States) 'cause that way some of the people on HW that live in the states would have higher chances to get there...

Ok, looks like we have a good amount of people for Atlanta, let's nail that down. :D Also, let's shoot for weekend before thanksgiving.
We need a host, I'm looking at Shawn.... ;) Maybe Crush and Jonathan? Do you live in Atlanta? I can't do it, a 2 hour drive+hosting won't go over well with parents. :D

Of the places you gave, Atlanta is the only one I might be able to make. Jacksonville would amazing... ;) Or even Savannah.

I have no idea on dates, though. I'd have to talk to my parents about it before giving dates.

If we do have one, we could probably work out some carpooling. I know there are a ton of people in Florida; would anyone be willing to carpool and split gas costs?

Ok, looks like we have a good amount of people for Atlanta, let's nail that down. :D Also, let's shoot for weekend before thanksgiving.
We need a host, I'm looking at Shawn.... ;) Maybe Crush and Jonathan? Do you live in Atlanta? I can't do it, a 2 hour drive+hosting won't go over well with parents. :D


:D *is nudged* I'll discuss it, but I'm not even sure I can attend yet... :P The August dates won't work for me, I'm confidant... I start school then.

**has just learned Crush and Jon do not live in ATL...** I guess you can't host then. :D

Dates: Weekend of August 18-20th. Who can make it to ATL then?

Err...not I. :P The other dates would work much better...
EDIT: Oh, November. OK. Yeah, we should be able to make that. :P
God bless,

Nope. Those dates don't work for me.
I'm pretty sure he meant November 18-20...but I could be wrong.

August 18th isn't a weekend and the HW'ers in Toccoa are really busy for a few of the upcoming days. I know he meant November 18-20. :P

Let's not peg Atlanta just yet, Elanhil. I was talking with Mom about the convention and she had some great ideas. :D

Since this is a two-day thing, a lot of people would have problems finding lodging or would have to get a hotel room. (hotel room = not cheap)
Instead of having the convention in Atlanta we could have it in a combination of three places- Atlanta, Mt. Airy, and Toccoa.
(To the people that don't know where these places are: Don't worry, Mt. Airy and Toccoa are very close to Atlanta)

First the HW'ers that come from Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina meet the Toccoa HW'ers in Toccoa (since it's closer to them).
From there we can carpool to Atlanta and meet the HW'ers from Florida, Alabama, and Seer. We could have the convention there till supper time upon which we would get back in the cars and drive to Toccoa or my (and the E-brother's) church in Mt. Airy. We would eat either at the E brother's house, my house, or the church. And have the convention there till bed time at which we would drive to the church in Mt. Airy to sleep there (if we weren't already there).

The second day of the convention would probably be in some place in Toccoa (there are a few awesome places :D ) til people have to leave for there respective homes.

Food would be covered by Elanhil's family/my family or at a restaurant and we would be the hosts.

Would that work for everyone? :D

(Note: The E brother's and I will have to ask for permission to use the church but it is very likely that permission would be granted.)

Sounds good to me. :) Now I just have to get well...Eh, I'll be well long before then, that's a long time.
God bless,
Crushmaster.

P.S.
If this happens, after supper would probably be the best time to Skype/Google Video Chat with people. :D

True. But the sooner we get the big things ironed out the better. :D

Well, be warned: Toccoa isn't SUPER close to Atlanta...a couple hours north, but that sounds like a good plan, Sui. Your parents and my parents could sort of Chaperone, for lack of a better word. Some people may have issues with being in the same building with members of the opposite gender at night... but if that's so, the guys could head out to the Rock and be in a separate building...if we do decide to bed down at all... ;)

There's plenty to do in Atlanta; we could find some sort of meet-up place and then just sort of follow our noses from there...maybe go skating or something. XD Dad should be back from tour by then, so we should have the van. And if we need any extra space, we can borrow Mr. Adams truck and fit two more people anyway.

I'm thinking for dinner we could all chip in and get Little Ceasar's. Pretty much a 'pay for what you eat' deal.

The only catch is what days....if we started on Friday and went to Saturday, there'd be no problem. But if going down to Atlanta would only be do-able on Saturday, we'd need to change the schedule so we're not all at the church Sunday morning. :)

I might be able to get there. I like the idea. :D

Friday/Saturday is probably best for me.

Please ask questions about the convention.

We can't make any further plans about the convention (on our end) til Wednesday night, but we want to make sure we don't miss anything. XD
