Midwest / Great Lakes Area Meetup 2010

[Obtuse]

In 2009, Bahamut tried to get a meetup going in the Midwest and nothing made it anywhere. Let's get together in the Midwest OCR! I'm tired of seeing pictures of all the East Coast Meetups on facebook and never see anything from the Midwest members.

I have 2 locations in mind.

I would love to meetup in Chicago, IL at a park, play frisbee, get some food, bring a laptop and do some recording. We could even go to some cool places like Shed Aquarium or the Art Museum. Upside to Chicago : Lots to do, lots of places to go.

Badside to Chicago : Big city, lots of traffic, travel logistics can be a bitch.

The second location I have in mind is Champaign, IL - Bahamut currently resides there. We could do the same things as I mentioned above.

I have a Date in mind of June 26. Anyone down? Let me know of your preferences! If you want a date change then you better be willing to commit to a different date and show up.

Dude. I'd totally be down for it, except the 26th is no good for me. It would have to be a bit farther in the future for me to go.

Though it's about time we had a Midwest meetup again. Last one was in Louisville back in 2007.

[Obtuse]

What date is good for you Sinewav? I figured I'd set a date to at least something gets started.

[Salluz]

I have no excuse to not be there.

[CC Ricers]

FINALLY

I'd be down to meet anywhere in Chicago.

[Obtuse]

CC, do you know any other remixers in Chicago?

[Ashamee]

Have fun, guys, wherever you decide to meet! I remember the 2007 Louisville meetup. That was such fun! If Nekofrog and I weren't living in Mississippi and Arizona, respectively, at the moment, and still lived in Northern Indiana, we'd totally have gone to this. Enjoy yourselves!

If ANYONE has to come through Northern Wisconsin, or would be willing to pick me up, I will help pay for gas with little money I have.

Or arrange a half way point, possibly. the pick me up would work so much better. cause I'd have no one to drive me to meet up.

I'm in as long as I can find a ride.

[KieranCarden]

Not that anyone really knows me here (I'm no remixer either) but I think that would be pretty cool. Midwest never gets enough love for anything

Where in Wisconsin? Perhaps I could get in on that pick me up as well and help pay for gas. I don't have a car though (no way I can afford one right now with all my college finances/debt) so there's no way I can drive.

Too bad it's not a little in future after the 26th; I'm going to be in northern Indiana (literally 5 minutes from Chicago) on/around the 29th until July 10th or so.

Ladysmith wisconsin, kind of on the northwestern side of wisconsin, look it up on google maps.

[Sinewav]

Huh. Thought I posted this already, but I guess I didn't. Sometime at the end of July would work great for me.

[Flik]

If I didn't already have a lot going on this summer and had more vacation days to kill I'd be tempted to make a drive out.

[Bahamut]

If soemthing is to happen around Chicago - is there a home base we could chill at? Or would people be leaving to go back home that same day?

[Sinewav]

Oh, forgot to mention... if this does happen at the end of July as opposed to another time (it's cool, I understand ), The Protomen, Super 8-Bit Brothers, and The Adventures of Duane and Brando are playing in Chicago on July 28. http://www.subt.net/#0728 Just throwin' that out there.

[Obtuse]

I dig that concert on the 28th. Great music that I had never heard before. I'm guessing it would be difficult for everyone to attend on a wednesday night. Plus we'd either need a place to hang or a hotel. I may just go anyway if you're going that night.

I was thinking of just making this a day trip thing. Otherwise we need a hotel or someone's place.

In Chicago, the only remixer who has spoken is CC Rider. Do you have room for any of us to chill in Chicago CC?

If we did it in Champaign, bahamut do you have any room?
