Ok, I have more thoughts. Basically, in Maryland, I could fit probably 10 max, and that would be pushing it (included me and Rolken). And it seems that we may have more people than that interested in coming, so I am thinking that that may not be the best idea.

As for timing, I am thinking sometime after Christmas in December 2009/beginning of January 2010. People who are in school and have school to get back to (and who are potentially coming), let me know the last day of your break (I'll account for travel time in figuring out dates for the convention), so we could see how far into January we might be able to do this.

I should edit this back into the top post, and maybe I will later, but here it is for now. Here is a list of people who are confirmed to come:

mike89 (though I am still waiting for a response to this topic >:O! - should remove this since he repied...I'll leave it )
Rolken
flyby
douglas
Zeph
F-man
SJ

And people who potentially can come:

SonicAD
Upth
magnum
DsS
Spinny
Kitsune
Iceman
genus

People who less than potentially, but would like to come:

Alondite
Aitamen
Donna

Actually, I think I will make a seperate topic to discuss what activities should be done at the convention. This is more to organize logistical stuff, and figure out how to make it available for coming to. I think that's all for now, though. I am leaning towards Utah as a final location. I just don't think the location in Maryland would be as suitable for hosting such a large gathering :(.

Also still open for other possible locations for hosting. I'm just going forward with these locations as I know they are available and can be used. So that's all for now. Further posts to come. Keep updating me with plans!

If it's in january, I 100% can't unless I flunk out of my program at college (sorry guys, no). I might be able to do late december, but I have no idea what my money will look like then.

Eis Makai · « **Reply #32 on:** January 29, 2009, 11:23:49 am »

I'd really love to go! I could indeed do so! But unless I have enouf greens and metal I'll have my mom or dad drive me to an airport, fly to Utah, maybe we then could participate in American Idol (LOL! I'd love to see anyone on TSC going to American Idol and trying to sing. That's a good idea! Hey guys! Why don't we make a new topic called Post your Singing Talent! And I don't mean Rock Band, mean singing solo with no instrumental help (you can clap, snap fingers, tap feet). And post it up on the forums and we see how good you can sing (Maybe one of us would pull a Simon Cowell or Randy Jackson or Paula Abdul, or Kara) is that a good idea or what? there in Utah when they go again (which won't be until the week before the super bowl unless they go earlier.) this might be fun.

So I can conclude now that I may be able to come, but I'll confirm later in the year.

fastnaturedude · « **Reply #33 on:** January 29, 2009, 05:18:24 pm »

Every year, I go back to school the second week of January, starting Monday.

edit: I could skive off a day or two lol

General Throatstomper · « **Reply #34 on:** January 29, 2009, 06:35:00 pm »

I might come, depending on which college I decide to attend.

flyby · « **Reply #35 on:** January 30, 2009, 01:13:42 am »

Ok...for everyone who has some semi-chance of coming to this convention (whether previously stated or not), I would like the following information:

1 - how soon after Christmas you would be available for the convention
2 - how late into January you would be available for the convention
3 - what gaming systems you may be able to bring with you +games
4 - do you have a laptop you would be bringing with you
5 - do you have any dietary restrictions

I may add more to this list, but that is all for now

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #36 on:** January 30, 2009, 02:47:26 am »

1. Hell if I know. Depends on family shenanigans, which are never confirmed until less than a week before they happen.

2. Hell if I know. Depends on my job situation.

3. The Genesis and GameCube are my only easy-access ones, as the PS2's shared. May or may not be able to bring.

4. I have a craptop that I won't bring because it's utter shit.

5. I'm on a see-food diet.

5. I'm on a see-food diet.

i.e., you see food, you eat it?

ditto for me, if that's the case...

If I'm able to come, I'll be bringing PS2S, GC, XBLOCK, GEN, SNES, N64, and perhaps my PC >_>

no, not kidding... but I'd need some place to set up my PC if we're going to lan party...

I would kill for some sweet Hexen-based shenanigans...

As far as everything else, I won't know a thing until my job gets finalized...

January 3rd (I always spend Hogmanay - that's New Year's Eve for you non-Scots - in Scotland).

Whenever.

Uh, my DS? Can't really bring the PS3 on a transatlantic flight :)

Probably.

5 - do you have any dietary restrictions

I have a fibre intolerance, which should be fine but means stupid things like I have to eat white bread instead of brown. Also eating fish is morally wrong >_>

yse · « **Reply #39 on:** January 30, 2009, 04:44:54 am »

1-2. Probably depends on the timing of MAGfest next year (since I want to go to that too), but I don't think time will be much of a concern.

3. Same as douglas - DS only.

4. Yes - I actually bought an adapter to fit my power cord into a US powerpoint about six months ago in preparation for going over there -this year-... which of course never happened.

5. I don't eat food that tastes crap.

F-Man · « **Reply #40 on:** January 30, 2009, 04:54:08 am »

1&2 - Who knows if I decide to go back to college by then. We'll have to see.
3 - PS3: Resident Evil Director's Cut, Klonoa 1 and 2, Sonic Riders ZG (eeermh not sure), STH, Ratchet & Clank 1 and F:ToD, Mega Man Anniversary. Dreamcast: all the Sonics, some illegal Resident Evil copies, Ecco DotF
4 - Sure, I can also bring HDMI and S-Video+RCA audio cables along. Also I have GameTap.
5 - No but I don't like a shitload of food. I guess I'll try eating anything that's available just this once in my lifetime but don't feel offended if I don't hide my grimaces too well. >_>

Eis Makai · « **Reply #41 on:** January 30, 2009, 12:00:36 pm »

1 and 2: I really do not know
3: My DS
4: No I don't have a laptop
5: None really, I don't like certain foods (sauerkraut, mashed potato without good gravy or pepper, i am slowly disliking hotdogs for some reason)

General Throatstomper · « **Reply #42 on:** January 30, 2009, 01:43:58 pm »

1/2: I'll know more about this in a few months.
3: My Wii and DS, along with games for those systems.
4: Yeah, sure, I'll probably bring my lappy.
5: I have good taste, so food's an issue here. I don't eat any meat other than chicken, and I don't like dairy. Mind, I can always eat things elsewhere without feeling excluded in the normal.

Aitamen · « **Reply #43 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:33:06 pm »

I am quite a good cook and can probably work to a variety of tastes, if we're not eating take-out, and if whoever's hosting has a kitchen I could use...

hell, I could probably bring along my own spice-rack and the like...

Hmm... I wonder if I could create a dish for each group coming?

Firstkirbyever · « **Reply #44 on:** January 31, 2009, 01:31:55 am »

i'll try to come :\

1 - not sure.
2 - i should be available and school does not matter since i'm homeschooled and i can finish before then
3 - my Ds (which is mostly broken heh) Xbox 360 (maybe) and Sonic unleashed
4 - we have a laptop but it's my sisters so maybe.
5 - not really. mostly i don't eat Tomatoes, and i have an Addiction to Shrimp >_____>

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #45 on:** January 31, 2009, 04:00:33 am »

Why didn't I think of my DS? Oh yeah. Because it goes everywhere.

I misread that as time travel.

Also I demand a western convention sometime!

Utah is pretty west! It's only 10 hours! Come on, take a bus! :D

Eis Makai · « **Reply #49 on:** February 06, 2009, 11:55:04 am »

With a bus it would take maybe 5-7 nights to get there non-stop. But Buses do stop (on account of gas, food, r and r) so 10 nights it would take on bus. about 8 hours on plane. You can't reach there by boat so don't try being a Chris Columbus to get there. 4 hours with a jet car or less hours.

*Bump*

Also, for those who haven't responded to the second questionaire, respond!

For those of you who responded and have no dates...if you have newly arrived dates, please post them! I will bump this every month or so and ask about dates to see if we can get updates as to where people are, so hopefully mid-year we will be able to nail down some solid dates.

This is gonna be exciting!

flyby · « **Reply #53 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:02:27 pm »

Time for a bump. Any updated abilities to come/dates would be appreciated. :D

1 - how soon after Christmas you would be available for the convention
I can leave no earlier than 12/26, but screw anyone who thinks they can hold me up on my birthday

2 - how late into January you would be available for the convention
I MUST be home by January 3. See why I'm fairly sure I can't come?

3 - what gaming systems you may be able to bring with you +games
Well, I have two gamecubes, but only enough cords for one and only two controllers. I have a GCN-GBA connector somewhere around here and a GBA to match. I also have a DS Lite. For games, I own a crapton of Sonic games for the GCN, I think everything except Riders. Also Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon Box. Box FTW. For my GBA all I have of note are some pokemon titles, and for my Lite I have Pokemon Pearl, Sonic Chronicles, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Darkness, and Brain Age.

4 - do you have a laptop you would be bringing with you
By then? I might just.

5 - do you have any dietary restrictions
I'm mildly lactose intolerant. I can have any dairy in a small enough quantity, but my total consumption can't have more lactose than half a glass of milk--and the more I approach that, the less comfortable everyone around me is. Since cheese has very little lactose, I can have a decent amount of pizza without a problem (but I HATE cheese), but I can't have milk-based deserts for most part, can't drink milk except for a tiny bit, can't have really milky mashed potatoes, can't have yogurt or frozen yogurt. Due to the way ice cream is made I seem to be okay with a decent amount as long as it's not cheap ice cream. Also, whey protein for the win.

I generally don't like anything though, and don't really eat vegetables (except for carrots!<3). Also I won't eat seafood. I have some kind of primal gut instinct capital NOOO reaction whenever I do. I also refuse to eat anything made from the digestive system or brains of an animal (tongue, ripe, head cheese, etc).

I understand that my dietary restrictions are effing crazy, and would like to point out that I have no qualms with subsisting on fast food for this convention on the tiny off chance I can afford to go. Please do not plan around me unless for some reason you really want my opinion on a dish or something.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #55 on:** April 29, 2009, 12:10:18 am »

Sadly flyby I'm still up in the air as my job situation is currently unchanged. :(

Aitamen · « **Reply #56 on:** April 29, 2009, 04:43:51 am »

So THAT'S why cheese doesn't bother me, but icecream melts my tongue... I'd no idea!

Anyway, I'm becoming a fine cook, and you guys would make excellent guinea p... er.... test su... I mean... >_>

I don't have money or transport, unless I magically land a job (and soon, it seems, I'll really need to)... but if I'm able to go, I'm totally willing!

Also, since I'm in Denver, if anyone happens to be driving through with a 64, I hereby challenge any and all passerbys to a duel to the GAME SET in SSB, if I'm unable to go >_>

Lactose intolerance has nothing to do with taste or anything; it's purely digestive. If something causes other symptoms it's not lactose intolerance, and may be an allergy. Also, if you react to things that have traces of milk in them regardless of their sugaryness (say, having similar reactions to cheese and milk), it's probably an allergy.

Further, most sweet milk products (yogurt, frozen yogurt, soft serve, but it seems not so much regular ice cream) are sweetened with milk solids, which are almost all lactose instead of other sugars. So they cause me more problems than milk itself does. I've actually become violently ill from drinking a quantity of yogurt that, had it been milk, would have done little more than make me gassy.

Also, I second this job business. I has no moneyz.
