I just think y'all would dig it.

I've been going for well over a decade, and even when they're off, it's still tons of fun. Plus, a huge group of us, together? Yessssssss.

Please Add me to the list of people definitely Coming to Chicago. I have finalized my taxes for the year and my refund allows me to add the final component to be able to attend the event.

beekeepers in NYC

[INCyr]

I don't think thebruce was asking whether beekeepers were invited to the Argfest, or whether any were going. But Chicago sounds like a major beekeeper meet up, and I think he's trying to go to either chicago OR new york, and wants to know where he'll be able to meet the most beekeepers.

I have yet to decide about NYC. It'll depend on finances and how much PTO I have at that point in time, plus how much I'm going to need for the summer, etc.

I swear this is not trout: Let's have a Condorcet poll to pick activities. We use this thread to nominate any number of activities for that weekend (like the Neofuturists, the Anime convention, and LAN Halo 2), then vote on which ones we like the best. The poll will have multiple winners --an unlimited number, if it's an option. The most popular activities are a definite go, and the rest we take up as opportunity permits. We could end the poll when we're so close to the actual event that we need reservations. If we set it up as a public poll, folks can see the results as each person votes. If we set it up as private, the results are a little more reliable (no ballet box stuffing or votes by nonparticipants), but you can't see the results until it's all over.

ARGFest clarification

[thebruce]

heh rose, apologies if I didn't express the question well enough I thought the 'other' in the question would be enough... INCyr had it right pretty much - which other beekeepers will be ARGfest, ie other than the few already planning to be there, including you how could I forget you? you reported in to me 'ellipse', the NY portion of the final puzzle, and you were pretty much the only beekeeper in active contact at the NY training, IIRC... so it's all good!

I was just curious who else is planning to go ARGfest, as it seems I have a better chance of getting there than Chicago, yet I would so much love to go to Chicago and meet more beekeepers face to face... of course, if I can get to both, well, "that would be perfection" (sorry, just finished watching Friends )

Right now, I'm trying to decide if I should take a week off for vacation and go to NY, which I have a better chance of doing at this point than going just for the weekend... but that vacation would mean I'd have to forego a week kid's camp I volunteer at each year (if it's still on this year, which I'm waiting to hear word)... very tough dilemma at least there's a few months left...

As for chicago, well, unfortunately that's out unless someone around me's going too... doesn't help that Chicago's farther than NYC... ...right?.. yeah
