I'm not the biggest cheese around here that I could be, but I still call this place "my board", and I hope everyone else does too. We have a great sense of community here. I want to do something special for anyone that I can.
I work at Disney's California Adventure. One of the perks of my job is I get 13 sign in passes a year, which I can use to bring 3 people into both parks with me (basically I can give a group parkhopper tickets). So, if you're a CBGer and you're going to be going on a vacation to Disneyland, talk to me. I'll do everything I can to get you in for free a couple of days or some sort of discount; at the very least I'd love an opportunity to meet a fellow builder.
Well Xapn, My girl and I will be in Anaheim for Blizzcon in October, I don't know if we are going to be in town much longer than the conference, but at the very least, if you are interested, I'd be up for meeting you somewhere around there for dinner one night :)
Dang it. I wish I had known about that last summer.
Will the invite still be open for spring break? If I can get a discount (and meet one of my favorite CBGers!) I'd make the trip.
Sounds pretty awesome. I'll talk to Raelifin and see if we can stop by.
Xeviat, this is awfully awesome of you. I wish I was going to be in the area, I would definitely take you up on this.
I'd love to take you up on that, but I'm not going to be doing that kind of travel anytime soon.
However, if any of you fine folks are going to be near Greensboro, NC, you should drop me a PM and I'll meet you for coffee.
Same goes if any of you find yourselves in or around Mankato, Minnesota.
ditto for Milwaukee, WI
Actually my girlfriend is moving out to that area this summer with her best friend, so I will probably be in that area more than once this summer. I'd love to stop by.

Now the question is, which of the three people who've offered to meet up is that directed to?

It is directed to Xeviat.
Sweet. Let me know when. My email and AIM are on my profile here; get ahold of me via one of those and I'll give you my cell number when it comes close to anyone coming out.
And cool Seraphine. If you'll be in the area frequently, let me know if you're interested in taking part in a oneshot game; bring your girlfriend along and it can be a double-date game.
Rose, Alexius (hey you still "owe" me map help; rofl), that can easily work. I don't know how much longer I'll be with Disney, but my girlfriend's a "lifer" so I'll always have access to free tickets and discounts and what-not.

I am just north in Sheboygan, WI. Any others in the area?
Awesome offer Xev. I wish I was going to be on that side of the country sometime soon, but alas.
But I'd be happy to meet anyone visiting Pinellas FL.
I'll be in Denver 7/17-7/18 ( assuming this 'birth' thing goes as planned...I have my doubts). I should be hitting Chicago sometime in September, NYC in mid Sept, Irvine, Cal in October, and St. Louis in Sept 3/4.
You're all so.... transatlantic.
Vreeg, Irvine is only a few short miles away from me. Alexius will be in the area in October as well.
Member: "I'd like to hang out with some of you guys. I might be able to offer free tickets to Disney, while I'm at it."
Community: "Sounds great! I'd love to take up that offer!"
Seriously, though, although it would be cool to meet a CBGian, and although it would be cool to have free tickets to Disney, I don't think those two alone would be enough to persuade me to go across the country. I do have a friend who lives about a hundred miles from Disney, but by the time I'd be able to visit her, she'll be living in Canada. Also, she's stated that she would have to be on strong drugs before I could get her to go to Disney, even with free tickets.
Honestly, as far as my own chances of meeting a fellow CBGian go, I think I'd be much more likely meeting somebody that already lives relatively locally, IE in northern New England (as far south as Boston).
Yes, I live outside of Boston, and kill PC's as far north as Porstmouth, NH, sometimes. I also still once in a blue moon take a whoe gaming group up to Lake Sebago, in Maine.
I don't think he was asking anyone to come all the way there just for him. I think it was more if anyone happened to be from around there or was going to be in the area anyway. Same for my offer. In fact, if someone did plan to make the drive just to meet someone from the CBG, it would probably just be awkward.

Hey, cool. Haphazzard lives just down the street from me. We should do lunch or something.

I live in bend, oregon. Would love to get together with someone sometime if you're ever in the area.
Monument CO, or weekends, Breckenridge.
We really, really need to map out where we all live... where is that darn turtle when you need him...
If anybody is up in Canadaland, Calgary specifically, feel free to give me a shout.
By the way, here's a guide (http://www.idratherbewriting.com/2007/02/08/making-a-chapter-member-map-mashup-with-google-maps/) for making one of those funky maps. I'll try to work on it over the next few days, but am likely to forget.
I live 50 meters from the Pacific, 2 hours outside Vancouver BC, Canadaland. Tho i work out of Edmonton at the oil flats. Any other canadalanders? where is ish with a google map when you need one, it should be in the wiki.
