I actually chose Chicago over Detroit. I want our "People Murdered at Fan Faire" quotient to remain at 0.

Indianapolis is incredibly hard to book and there are no hotels in New Orleans big enough to host Fan Faires.

(Unless we split the meals into shifts...which would be l a m e)

Next.

Werd Saiph, Don't listen to these h8ers, Chicago is close enough to everyone in the midwest anyway so :P hehe. Fan Faires should be in Vegas, San Fransisco or LA, Nuff said ^^

If they do have space ask what the waiting list is for event space.

I bet its years in advance. :(

But a good idea nonetheless. Yep a Ohio Boy. I was born in Zanesville...pity me.

Atlanta. Hmm, no. As a wacky idea, how about one in a place with a lot of subscribers - say, hmm, New York or Los Angeles. I heard a rumor that those two cities are America's first and second most populous. You're going in the right Direction with Chicago. Let's make it a trend.

Hmmm....Indianapolis then?
What is wrong with Chicago?
Oh, nothing is wrong with Chicago, I like that city. I thought you were looking for another city, for down the road. Didnt realize you were looking for a permanant home for FF. Chicago is good then. Well, that is if you dont want the home of rock and roll.

Fan Faire on the RIVER!!

Make the live quest kinda hard, but hell, just make the quest NPCs request beer & boob-flashing and you'd have a start!

Never been to Atlanta. Don't have an opinion of it yet.

Although it is in the south... Richmond kind of soured me on the "South". I can only be sneered at and called a "Yankee" so much before I re-declare war.

Ooga, I'm currently working with the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers Cityfront. On Water street. Downtown. Uber.

It should hopefully be signed soon.

there is nothing about Richmond that should be confused with Atlanta, come on now :p

Richmond is some small city in the middle of nowhere. Atlanta is the largest city in the Southeast.

i coulda been really rambunctious (SP?) and requested the city (and i use the term loosely) that i actually live in..

*EDIT* I should state for the record that i actually hate those cities.. they just happen to be close enough to me that i can drive to a fanfaire which saves mucho on the plane fair.

Fan Faire on the rivers around Austin would be a blast! We could all do the things we did as n00bs on the boats in EQ! Hmm, that COULD result in tube explosions...what kind would all depend on what YOU did on the boats ;)

1. Chicago will have the Next Fan Faire.

2. Vegas will most likely be our permanent west coast spot from now on. Why have one in LA when you can do Vegas?

3. If I have my way we will never have one in Cleveland. Ever. I spent a week there on the EQ Tour. That place is e v i l. Nuff said. I was also born in Ohio so you can't fool me. I escaped and you'll never bring me back, coppers!

4. Atlanta is being considered for next years east coast swing.

5. Who would be down for an Unofficial Fan Faire trip to Wrigley? I've been a cubbies fan since I was 10. I went to Wrigley and saw a day game last summer. It was a sublime experience. AND they happen to be playing the Pirates at home the weekend we're probably going to have FF.

6. I rule.

That is all.

PS The EQ Invasion Tour taught me a lot about cities.

We'll be hosting 3 people to a meal of raw meat and have a live quest involving cow chips. :P

I think we should have one in Malibu, on the beach.

Fuck costume contests, but Brittney and I will happily judge the bikini contest. :D Tell Scotto no uberloots will be necessary unless he wants to trade them for the pics that come out of the contest.

Dude, I was a springboard diver in high school. Given that I spent every day for ~3 years in a Speedo, it's not that much of a stretch.

Edit: If me putting on a bikini is what it will take to get a FF to happen on the Beach in Malibu, just lemme know. ;)
