As for timeline, I think there are a few peeps with kids (myself included) who would prefer this be during summer vacation.

Holiday weekends are notoriously difficult to get cheap airfares.

Earlier in the summer may be "nicer weather" than later. But it's still always a gamble. And it should be up to the host(s) of the event to pick the weekend that works best for them. It's hard to realize that everything can't work out for everyone. And if you can't make this one, there is always next year (Las Vegas 2007?).

Memorial Day/June - kids still in school

end of June - kids just got out of school

early July - holiday weekend that people often have other plans for in the US

early to mid August - often when the big family vacation/get together has been planned

late August - school starts when?!

Labor Day - school starts WHEN?!!

which leaves mid to late July as a realtively safe time frame

Although Columbus Day weekend in Chicago might be nice (even though that's not a holiday for me)

I'm in the banking business, so Columbus day IS a holiday for me Smile

But whatever... July works and so does Columbus Day (which would probably be much better in terms of weather)...

But yeah, I'll lend my planning skills and will help people look up travel options when we've decided upon a date.

(Can we assume we're going with Chicago yet? I think it's pretty good for most people, being centrally located et al... AND I WANT TO SEE YOU PEOPLE SO IT'S GOING TO BE IN CHICAGO, OK?!? Laughing

Oh, god, July. Fine. I mean, this *does* mean I shall need a constant (and I mean CONSTANT) supply of chilled somethings to be served to me.

We need an ARG cabana boy.

Since Jamesi apparently already owes one Bagsbee one beer, then I suppose it would only make sense to nominate Jamesi as the official Cabana Boy of ARG Fest-O-Con v6.1, right?

Yeah, it will be hot. But IMHO, this is all the more reason to do cool indoors things. Museum of S&I, Bars, Field Museum, Bars, Swank Restaurants, Bars, Neo-Futurists, etc... you know... good quality time.

(Teh Dorkmastah is very excited. Do not feed Teh Dorkmastah.)

EDIT: I'm working on an official (free of charge for Jamesi) ARG Fest '06 Cabana Boy shirt design Smile

(oh yes, it will be terribly drawn in MS Paint. YAY!)

Heheheheheheheheh!

yeah, the Neofuturists were a HUGE hit with the Beekeepers who attended Hivemeet.

There was even a red balloon!

Chicago would be grand, but if we could avoid the weekend of June 10th (when Clownie and I are getting married), that would be great.

Now. The question. White Sox game or Cubs game?
