No.

There is a purpose. We just haven't decided which purpose it is. Read the thread to see the options.

EDIT: and I know of more girls than guys who are going at this point if I count on my fingers.
EDIt2: hmmm... perhaps we could make the fees cheaper for women so more go?

Most of these ATOT meet-ups in the past have been a failure.... but good luck anyway!

Perhaps we're not all as anti-social as we used to be.

Most of mine have been successful. The one I went to in Washington (didn't organize it) was a hit -- at least 10-15 people and it wasn't even that planned.

DC was kinda bad in terms of turnout (lots of fun, but we should have had more people!)

philly meets never work out maybe now that the william penn curse is over, i should try again.

your ideas intrigue me, i wish to subscribe to your newsletter :thumbsup:

I may go... I donno. It's either that or go to Blizzcon 2009....

EDIT:

But I don't know if I can even stand that much Socal anyway, so maybe more if we can get a good idea of what will go down. There'd definitely need to be t-shirts... black for doods and white for chicks (so just order all black)!

 

[sdifox]

not to be a nitpicker or anything, but would a neffer actually travel to Chicago? I am a neffer and I would not go all the way to Chicago. Hell, I am not sure I'll even show up if it is in Toronto.

 

[manlymatt83]

To the top - I'd really like to get more input here. Perhaps choosing a weekend. Also, we need some suggestions on topics. This thing is less than 9 months from now people.

Depends. There are a few options:

1) Everyone stays on their own and we just have a few group events.
2) Everyone stays at the same hotel and we have events all weekend.
3) A mix of both.

Since you and I seem to work well together on the neffing thread, I'd be more than happy to bring you on as co-organizer for this if you're up for it. Let me know.

i'd be glad to help but it looks like the number of "no" votes is getting large, it'd be bad to get everything organized and planned and then no one show up

The first poll I made showed like 90% of voters wanted to come. Now, its less. I think its because people don't want to just come and sit there.

If we pick a date, and pick how we're going to organize it, and actually get some finite planning going, we can always cancel in January or February. But for now, we need to pick a date, pick what hotel we "may" be staying at (or not), pick activities (one of them is definitely a beer pong tournament sponsored by beerpong.com, my buddy's company), etc.
