midwest racketboy members meet-up?

[Flake]

Well for starters I wrote Kansas City, MO. MO is the code for Missouri. Second if you ever insinuate again that I would suggest anything to do with Kansas I will stab you in the face.

And rightfully so. Not sure what it is but that state line kills the fun as you head west.

Sorry that was the mandatory KCMO reactionary threat. For a Racketboy meet up I would cross the line and go into Kansas maybe as far as Peoria. But outside of Kansas City on either side of the state line there are lots of comic conventions and vintage game stores. I know there is also a Apple II convention every summer. But that is a different crowd.

i am down for a meetup anywhere, i just suggested indianapolis because i know the city and i'm willing to throw it all together.

i think a nice meetup at a con would be cool, too.

What about St. Louis? I'd probably be able to head down there for a meetup, especially since I have family living down there. It's not too far from Indiana and a quick train ride from Chicago can get you there.

[GamerMON]

STL would be cool.

[coastercrazy10]

I personally would be down for either STL or Indianapolis. I'd prefer Indy because its closer but if it's in January or later I can likely make it to STL too.

I might be down for either. I'd for sure be at a St. Louis one seeing as that is where I live.

if st. louis is something that people want to consider, i would definitely be up for the drive. the main reasons i suggested indianapolis are that it's relatively centrally located, i know the city and can help out with people finding lodging, eats, etc, and i can basically organize the whole thing easily. there is also gencon here next summer so that might be something cool as well.

if someone wants to come through and do something like that for STL, then by all means let's do it! i just wanna game with some people from this forum.

also i'm glad someone voted for "You are dumb."

[YoshiEgg25]

I really like the St. Louis option with my having family there, but my concern is that it might be too dangerous a city to hold something like this in.

ST. LOUIS HAS CRIME.

I had three of my uncles get jumped during Mardi Gras a few years ago. Apparently it's the worst crime city in the U.S. now.

No. 1: St. Louis, Mo.

most cities have crime.

so what's the deal? i'm gonna change the poll up above. anybody have any other city recommendations before i do?
