poll

[krystyn]

Not necessarily. You gotta have people who are willing to put in the time, and generally speaking, people who tend to vote are not necessarily (by and large) the same people to even make it to the con/meet/weekend o' debauchery.

I should update the Guest list on the Hivemeet website to reflect the actual attendees.

One of the actual committee members didn't even let us know he wasn't coming. I mean, you know, a poll is one thing, but there's people who came to the hivemeet who hardly read this forum, so.

Not exactly equitable, no.

Ah, november? I have school, so sad, I might have made it to that one otherwise.

I'll have to agree with INCyr, especially if the 'Meet is on the west coast. I've already had to scrub a trip to New York as I won't be able to get time off for it, and between Hivemeet, a short summer trip, and Christmas with out-of-town relatives I'm out of vacation days.

And the discretionary budget's a little low at the moment, thanks to Chicago and a TV replacement simultaneous with last Christmas... maybe next spring will give me time to replenish the money-hopper, but November will certainly be too soon.

-- Steve'd love to go, but alas 3 weeks' vacation plus up to 5 days' Earned Time Off doesn't stretch as far as you might think in the service industry.

I feel like we're selecting the next site for the olympics or something.

So who wants to put together a multi million dollar stadium setup for us?

Did I hear Walt Disney World?

They wouldn't know what hit em, lol.

The poor Disney Princesses wouldn't be able to evade our sleeping jokes.

(Note, I dont have any intention to travel too far from IL for something, unless I suddenly find myself with lots of time and money)

But how about creating a beekeeper insurrection at a large event, such as PAX, E3, Taste of Chicago, Whiskey Fest, Mardi Gras, what have you?

We are aware that many of the people who came to Hivemeet '05 wouldn't be able to make it to an event on the West Coast in November.

But we're working on it anyway because it would be nice to get to see some of the people from that area of the country who couldn't make it to Chicago, and because some of the PMs have indicated that they might be more likely to be able to make it to something there than here in the Midwest.

Again, this should not be considered a substitute for ARGfest or Hivemeet '06, and it is only in the early planning stages at the moment.

So, if you are sure at this point that you wouldn't be able to make it, we'll miss you (if the planning doesn't fall through ) but don't worry about it too much, because it's not likely to be as much of a Big Deal, and we will see you in 2006.

Everybody's a freaking critic. Man.

So far, I've had nothing to do with it, except interest in going.

I was calling you a freaking critic.
