I'm tryin to figure out how to make this work....if it's still happening?

[D.o.S.]

We should just party in New England obviously

[$harkToootth]

I can't make this but I will be in Philly the 28th and 29th of October for a Horrorthon is any one wants to meet up.

I think I told you I have always wanted to go to Portland, ME. Never been. But you're not there anymore?

[oldangelmidnight]

I'd like it to happen. If we've got a place and a time, I don't know that we need more coordination than that.

That's what I was saying. If all we need is for someone to show up and put up signs telling people where to be, I can do that. If there's some hardcore organization that needs to happen that I'm just missing somehow, I probably can't do it, but I'm happy to take over mild organizing responsibilities. What still needs to be done?

Brian booked Sunday, 10/8, for us at the PhilaMOCA.
We might want to set something up for Saturday?
We might want to set up some kind of communal AirBnB? Or, Ben, maybe we can all crash at your place?

[Jwar]

I'm still interested if I can make it happen. Not sure if I can though. How many folks are in on this?

[Benn Roe]

My wife and I actually used to rent the third floor of our house out on Airbnb, but we stopped shortly before our daughter was born. I sort of doubt I could convince her that we should let a bunch of people from the internet crash at our house with a one-year-old in the picture, I'm afraid. On the other hand, I do own a huge board game shop, where post-business-hours crashing could maybe happen. Or, actually, my smaller location recently closed, but we still have the lease, and it might be an easier sell with my partner offering that as a sleep option, since he'd be worried about theft and there's nothing left over there to steal. Either way, it would be BYOBedding and not really equipped as a residence, but potentially a free option.

As for a Saturday activity, the only thing that comes to mind is I could ask my friend Steve about renting his recording studio for the day where we could jam and he could record whatever jams we wanted throughout the day. I think his daily rate is $300, and it's a decent-sized space.

In terms of neighbourhoods, PhilaMOCA is in Callowhill (northeast of center city), my stores are in Powelton Village and Cedar Park (west Philly) and the recording studio in question is in Port Richmond (northeast Philly), if any of that means anything to anyone. We'd be kind of all over the place.

[oldangelmidnight]

Could we set up gear in the closed shop?

[Benn Roe]

Nah, it's on the first floor of an apartment complex.

[OddKnowledge]

i need to check the General Discussion section more often. I'm down for this. I'd be coming up from Baltimore, so if anyone wants a ride, let me know.

[Decibill]

Me and jrmy and possibly BC were talking about coming down from Rhide Island.

[imJonWain]

I was on the fence, waiting to see what the plans end up being.
