Meet-up? Thiefcon?

[agh-4.livejournal.com]

So, so, so, are there any Northern Californians lurking around here? Or Sounisians itching to visit Northern California?

I'm asking because the London meet-up and the Utah Thiefcon are inspiring, and I think it would be fun to have one around here sometime. I've been communicating with drashizu and sgwordy, who I met when mwt was giving talks about ACoK two years ago, and it seems like a good time would be later this summer or in early September. And I was wondering if any of you think you'd be able to come to a meet-up in that time window, somewhere in the San Francisco area. Do you have thoughts about when it should be, or any ideas at all? So far, the planning for this is very unsure, but we hope to make it work. At any rate, I have a few friends who've read the books who I could lure into coming...

Oh, and send me a message if you're interested but don't feel like letting everyone know where you live or something, or anything!

So, I am living in Tennessee for until September but trying to see as much of the US as possible... if I had a reason to travel somewhere, it might be possible...

How about a New Zealand thief con? For the Kiwis, or those who want to come see Middle Earth? :D
Haha, I wish I lived in the more populated by awesome people part of the world!

Well, I'm from southern California if anyone's up for meetups down here. I'm not sure if I'm likely to be able to make it up north this summer, but I will keep it in mind! Maybe I can convince my parents it would make a good little vacation. :)

We've had meet ups in So Cal before, which have been fun!

I'm not living in the area anymore, but my family's there, so I visit often. Maybe we could make something work one of the times I'm there. :)

Yes, I met some Sounisians at San Diego Comic Con in 2010, and at the LA Times book festival in 2011. It was great fun! I'm definitely up for it when you're around. :)

Well, if anyone is free May 29-June 2, or on July 5th, I'm in the north Orange County area and free (don't mind driving a bit, either). Otherwise, we'll totally have to make it work some other time when I'm in the area. Sounisians are awesome, and it's been over two years since I last went to a meet up.

(Also, I'm moving to New York. East Coast Sounisians, I want to meet you, too!)

I'll be in the throes of finals at the end of May/beginning of June, but I'd probably be able to make July 5th!

Ooh, awesome. I'll have to double check my schedule (I'm in town for a wedding, and need to check that the bride-to-be doesn't have anything planned that day), but we should totally see if we can plan something for July 5th. I'm friending you now; hope you don't mind. :)

[qwentoozla]

Excellent! I hope this works out. :)

I've been so absent from Sounis lately that I'd love a meet-up. It'll give me an excuse to re-read the series and inspiration to get over here and participate in all the great discussions that have been going on. Yay, Sounis! Even when I can't be around it's always good to know you're here.

I'm up for anywhere in the bay area. Looking forward to it!
