Is the TX place like that too or is it just single rooms and such? Just curious in case it pans out. Quote
JohnStacy Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 OH GOD YES DO IT IN TEXAS. Actually Fayetteville is a nice area. I would warn that during the summer it can get pretty miserable down there due to high temperatures and high humidity, but it's generally somewhat nice. If we're opening up to this state I can look around as well and see what I can find. Quote
Sixto Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 You can probably count me in at that point. Geoffrey Taucer and JohnStacy 2 Quote
Mazedude Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Semi-interested. I miss hanging out with you guys, and at MAGFest (every three years or so when I get to go) I feel like my hangout time with OCR folks is divided up amongst hanging out with other groups of peeps, so it's never as in-depth as it should be. My availability is quite limited, but keep me in the loop regardless, maybe it'll work out where I can get away for a few days. Geoffrey Taucer 1 Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 If we do Texas, This is the one I have in mind Quote
Garpocalypse Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Having relocated from new york to texas one year ago i would definitely be down for this. Fayetteville is about 4 hours from where I am. Geoffrey Taucer 1 Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 So with Texas being Texas, I'm thinking either spring or fall would be a better time to do this. This spring is too soon, this fall conflicts with MAGLabs, so I'm thinking spring of 2019 in Fayetteville, Texas. That work for everybody? Also, if all goes according to plan, I'll be spending the next six months or so building a house, which means I will have neither the money for the initial deposit nor the time to get this put together. If somebody else can take the lead, that would be awesome. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Andrew and I are potentially interested for sure. Love the hang out idea in general. Just would have to match up with stuff we have going on, and all Quote
Flexstyle Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Texas would be SO MUCH MORE DOABLE for me than the MD/DC area currently is. Could potentially even just be a long road trip for me, forget flying, haha. Color me interested for sure. Geoffrey Taucer 1 Quote
DarkeSword Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I'll be real: I go to the DC/MD/VA area all the time to see OCR folks. I think it would be a nice change of pace to do something elsewhere. Geoffrey Taucer 1 Quote
JohnStacy Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I can probably help with the organizing thing. Deposit would be out of reach for me right now, but as far as handling organizing how this thing will go, I can at least contribute. (Plus I'll see if I can get some good BBQ catered for a meal while we're there if I do contribute) Geoffrey Taucer 1 Quote
Wiesty Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Haha Mag and texas are both so far for us Canadians Quote
Ramaniscence Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Pretty good idea. Conditionally interested based on final dates. Quote
