So last year's Midwest Meetup in Ft Wayne was awesome. We need to do it again. Wildfire has expressed interest also. Last year we only spent one day and it was a little too short. We had a great time at Video Games Live, eating at a random Gyro place, drinking and chilling at the hotel, IHOP the next day, and a trip to Sweetwater Music.

In attendance last year:
Obtuse
Halc
Wildfire
Sam (friend of Wildfire)
Souliarc

Pictures from last year are here ...

Why couldn't these things happen while I was still in the midwest?

Too bad this doesn't say Upper Midwest meetup. Then it'd be right in my neck of the woods!

I'd have to think a little harder to answer any of those questions, but I am most definitely down for another meetup!

Woah, Fort Wayne is actually fairly close to me.

You should obviously go to Cedar Point. What else is there to do in the Midwest?

Not to say it couldn't happen. if booked ahead of time you can get some pretty cheap flights within the midwest. I'm not knocking it out as an option Flik if other people are interested. Especially if there's a big event that should not be missed.

I am also open to more than 1 meetup over the summer.

Chicago or somewhere near is the ideal point for a midwest meetup but strangely there was never enough interest expressed in a meetup there

I'm pretty interested. I've been to meetups in Raleigh and Las Vegas, but not in the zone of my origin, the Midwest.

I do love Chicago. One of my favorite places is the Chicago Art Museum. I have still never been to the Shed Aquarium. Any other big attractions in Chicago Bahamut?
