I'm getting jealous of all these awesome meetups that are too far away for me to attend. East Coast Meetup? I'm a little too far south to host most likely but I'd be willing to drive somewhere between 8 and 12 hours to fuzz it up with y'all.

Any ideas? Any interest?

They tried to do one last year and none of the East Coast folks would solidify shit. I was even thinking about going.

Yeah, I tried. Then more people were pro west coast. And then nothing happened. If love to do it if someone else organizes

I'll organize! I did secret santa a couple years ago so I can probably handle this if people actually wanna do it.

Where are you thinking of centralizing? I mean, I could possibly come depending on where.

Probably further north than where I am, although if we did Asheville we could hit up the Moog factory...

But I imagined somewhere north of DC. I don't have any real solid ideas haha

I can potentially make it as well. I think NYC was a pretty solid idea when DRod posited it earlier.

I'm in Philly and I'm into it. Could easily get to DC, Baltimore or NYC

There is an event space above my practice space that is easy to rent. Only tricky thing is sleeping arrangements in nyc

Going to NYC would be cool, not sure how'd I travel with my gear though because fuck paying that toll for the tunnel. A Megabus ticket is cheaper than that toll. I've only ever stayed at the Q4 Hostel in Queens which was cheap and pretty tight honestly.

I'm in Boston, getting myself to NYC is not hard. So I'm good for a meet up. :!!!:

Yeah there's a bus from Portland to NYC, too, so if I'm on the continent I can totally make it.

I've never been to NYC before. This would be a damn good excuse to go.

What's the time frame here? This is actually crucial to me making this work in any fashion. Also, I do doubt Jeff will let me stay with him because he's afraid I'll rape him or whatever (I don't see the problem). Maybe some of us can split a hotel room??

Does anyone know the policies for bringing pedals on a flight with you??? Like carry on I mean. I'd have to fly and I definitely don't trust them with my bass.
