I don't think there even is 200 people visiting these forums (there could be some guests who frequent here but never post or register but probably not enough to make 200.......)
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Thats exacly why I said "improbible". We are nearing 200 though, thats quite a number considering this hobby is not mainstream.

When you think about it, even a few people getting together, say half of those in the midwest, would be awesome. Maybe me, MR.MOD, Ben, and Gannon. Of course, Nin will crash on MR.MOD's couch.

I just had an idea: since we were talking about holding it in Wisconsin, we could hold it around when the Midwest Gaming Expo is going, in Milwaukee.

spring, usually. Who knows, we could maybe have a booth set up, and that would get some attention to the scene

I had an idea. (well I combined some existing ideas to make an uber idea) We could design a t-shirt (JackFrost22's idea), sell them on cafepress (gannon) and use the money to hold a convention.

I'm saying this just if it changes from Wisconsin, that we might consider some place in Illinois. As Chicago is the airport hub of the U.S., so those on the coast can fly in.
