* 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.

@Aeleknight: You're from GA?

Hrm. Since my brother's organizing this, I'll probably drive him to wherever So yeah, pretty much all of the above.

Ah, I see

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

For now it looks like Atlanta.

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'll check on those dates. Stone Mountain isn't too far, is it?

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.

Let's shoot for this weekend.
It would be awesome if we could have a Council Member at the convention.

(Yeah, I know I'm getting a little ahead of you Elanhil. Blame it on the optimism. )

*wishes I could go* That's on the other side of the US for me.

Actually, you're not. That's already the tentative date.

Ok, looks like we have a good amount of people for Atlanta, let's nail that down. 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.

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

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

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

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 ) 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?

(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.

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