    Wasn't trying to dictate the policy, Amelia... but trying to get the ball rolling.

    Nowhere is going to be somewhere EVERYONE wants to go.

    It's like finding a movie in a video store - everyone wants to see something else.

    I'm not trying to dictate either. I just want out of the south. I think I hate it here.

    Well I'm game for either Atlanta or Portland equally, though I'm only 7 hours from Atlanta, I think I'd rather check out Portland as I've heard such good things about it. ooooh Camping does sound like fun.... of course a nice AC'd hotel where I can properly apply makeup sounds pretty good too :-p.

    i'm open to anywhere at this point, as long as some one can offer crash space. I'll cook in return.

    I'm working on getting the month of August off, and I would rather do a room then camping. Amenities baby!
    If we could find a nice place/house to rent for a weekend, that would kick ass!

    Rent a house with a sprawling expanse around it

    That way you can camp and fuck outside

    OR

    You can go into the house to crap, sleep indoors, shower, have sex INSIDE

    Sounds like San Francisco is the consensus here

    I could make it to Seattle. I'd be "preoccupied" a bit if it was in LA.

    Let me know when you decide the exact date and place.... I might just visit us and a for the first time Then I would need to make a round trip and visit some places worth seeing. I always wanted to see Chicago for example.

    So...... still all up in the air it seems..... though ATL does have the lead by nearly 10%. How about a time have we managed a month atleast that this would happen in? I see August being repeated in the thread, but just wanting to clarify if possible.

    Maybe we'll split it/ East Coast/West Coast? ATL for the East peeps and Portland for the Left Coasters?

    I don't see ANYONE travelling across the country this year.

    Soooo then... I suppose the big question is, is Amelia able (not insanely busy) to set up something at a hotelconvention room, or we could do the whole camping thing and just rent out like 20 spaces at a campground.... though, august camping in Florida is gonna suck.... and not too sure about camping in ATL. Though Florida does have niccccccce cold springs that we could camp at.

    On east coast how many people are we talking about?

    Whoa...missed out on commenting right away on this one!

    Well, I moved here from LA about 5 years ago, and I can't say it's been all that good a move for me, everything went to shit: my workload has been thru the fkn roof, I got stabbed in the back by my closest friends (knew some for over 15 years!) and to be honest the revenge was not so sweet, I got seriously fucked up sick (can you say shake and bake), was buried under a mountain of debt, went homeless, realized I long ago lost the love of my life, stabbed in the back again (but couldn't stomach more revenge) and to top it off the most responsible member of my family picked this last year to mooch off of me... I fucking hate this city!


    oops... sorry for the rant...

    eh, Welcome to Seattle

    Ok, a nice big bash to welcome Keiko here to Seattle could be some serious fucking fun! I'm still taking most of August off, so if there's a BB event anywhere during that time, you will have my ugly ass there!

    ps: I the FUK do I edit an entry?! I really hate people knowing me; besides, my problems are my problem. So how do I edit my post(s)? I know I saw an edit button before, but it's gone now.

    I agree. A "welcome her to Seattle" would be teh awesome.

    And maybe a PDX/Seattle mashup sometime

    It does, Forrest, though I voted for Vegas, as it's where I live(though I recommend any such gathering done here happen in either the April-May or mid-September-early November periods, as those are when there's neither the stifling heat of summer nor the nasty blasts of wind we get in the winter here).

    I also thought that Keiko's idea of having several smaller gatherings possibly connected by web cams for those in other parts who couldn't physically be present at them is a wonderful idea.
    Perhaps the BB techies, and tech-savvy posters here, might be able to figure out how to do it.

    Dunno, and it's just a suggestion.

    Well, heck, why not just have a series of individual BB get togethers strung together by webcams, all individual homes in the group?
