Northerners join me in dreaming?

[mortalasabee.livejournal.com]

I am from southern Wisconsin. I know, I know, this is ridiculously far from Florida.

Regardless, I want to go to the meetup. I know this is impractical, but I just couldn't live with myself if I did not ask if anyone else from my general area is going, or would think about going if there was another person (or maybe a few more, if I can rustle them up) to help pay for gas. Also, my car can't make it that far and I'm too young to rent a car so...there are a few more conditions.

But seriously, anyone from near WI thinking about going? Let me know!

gah, agh, I really want to. Why can't she ever come up here? Isn't she supposed to be from Ohio? That's close!

nice little word scramble there...

I think she's moving/has already moved to the midwest this year. Before NORWAY. So you may be in luck.

Ha! I'm not planning on going, but I am also from southern Wisconsin. Who knew that other people from my state had read this book? Which is probably a fairly ridiculous thought to have, considering how many people live here, but it's nice to know all the same.

Where do you live? I'm near Madison. I saw on the map that there were a few others, but besides all the people I've converted I don't know any of them.

Not going though, eh?

[msmcknittington.livejournal.com]

Platteville-ish. I haven't converted anyone, either, so I'm all alone.

Nope. I have other obligations.

I may be in Platteville. And I may know at least one other Platteville fan. Sadly, I'm not going to Florida (although I would really like to--the meetup would be great and so would the entire conference). But know that you are not alone!

(Any one from New Zealand thinking of going? we could kayak!)

Not to harsh on your dream, mortalasabee, but I'm going to be so heavily scheduled on this trip . . . I'd feel really bad to have you drive all that way for thirty minutes in a coffee shop in a hotel lobby!

Peggy says I should sign my comment. Thank you, Peggy.

Well, alright, the master has spoken. But is there any chance you would try to come to my neck of the woods someday? It would pretty much make my life. :D

hey hey *glomps, offers cookies*

You WILL meet her someday! Even if you don't make it to FL...

I might as well be living in WI, I'm NC and almost no one ever comes to NC. Man, and I used to live in Cleveland too, I weep when I see how many peoplego there each year.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Megan really should come to NC!

[wanderingdreamr.livejournal.com]

Yes! There's a lovely little book store in Raleigh called Quail Ridge Books that hosted Scott Westerfeld recently, a bit out of my way but I would find someway to make the strip!

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Quail Ridge ROCKS. And I met Scott Westerfeld!

Were you there too then? Cool, I was one of the people who came in late (stupid state fair traffic) and I was knitting while he was talking. XD
