I've started a conversation (it's a multi-person PM if you haven't been in one yet) about trying to set up a time and place for halforumites to get together.

It's loosely based around south east michigan, and you're welcome to join the conversation if you have any interest in discussing it, I just didn't want it to be a regular thread that would tend towards chaos with little actually getting decided.

PM me if you want to be invited to the conversation. We're within driving distance of Toronto, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana.

Nothing's been decided yet, this is just the beginning of talking about it to gauge the level of interest and what kind of get together we want.

Well I'll stop by and say hi; my other half and I will be swinging up to Pictured Rocks next month, so you won't be left out!

I haven't been to pictured rocks yet. Looks beautiful, though - I have a friend that makes it up there at least once a year to camp.

Last time I went up there was to visit Tahquamenon Falls. While I was sleeping in the passenger seat my friend ran over a porcupine with my car. The porcupine ran off, and we were picking quills out of the front drivers side tire for some time.

Keep me in the loop. No promises that I can make it up from CoMo, but I'm always looking for excuses to visit my family in Chicago and could probably make a weekend of it.

Sorry to disappoint, but my good balloonish looks are all CGI. The director wanted to use wires and camera tricks, but the contacts needed to give me that empty eye look we're just too irritating.

I seem to recall a certin OM NOM picture I did for you and your Stein-spawn.

Also, I agree about Southern michigan not working. Let's go to the Dells! House on the Rock is AWESOME.

HowDroll The dells is just north of Chicago ;)

Yeah, but it's all back-woods driving. And it's still gonna be about a three hour drive for me to there - IF I was able to get off for it.

It also takes me about two hours to get to the Dells/Lake Delton area.

Yes, I live in BFN Upnortderehey Wisconsin. I'm not fond of it much, either.

EDIT: Hey, I know - why don't we meet somewhere in, like, the MIDDLE of Wisconsin? There's this place called "Stevens Point", located where US 10 and US 51 meet in (roughly) the middle of the state.

Is it in the middle of a corn field? Because I lived there once.

Well, it's been a year and we still haven't gotten it together.

But I've proposed three dates and times in June that should work for those who already expressed an interest, so if you're going to be near Michigan by pure luck on the second, third, or fourth Tuesday of June in the evening, come join the conversation!

We'll probably also meet again later in the summer with more notice on a weekend for those of you that are interested in traveling just to visit people from the forum.
