Hrm. Scratch Millennicon; that's in two weeks.

Though people in the area (it's at King's Island) may be interested in checking it out nonetheless.

I'm a seargent, apparently. Seargeant? SeArgeant?? The misspelling demon strikes again.

Ya know, even if we can't get an Ohio Con put together, it doesn't mean we all can't take a day, meet at a local establishment, drink some Bruskies, (pop for the younger ones) exchange war stories, and maybe even find a place to set up some hot seat games.. ah welll just an idea, maybe the con will still happen, hope so.. Hey, Richard lives in Lancaster, he could put us all up for the night, there must be someplace to go in Lancaster, they don't roll the sidewalks up at night do they

just some ideas mac

Them war story sounds good mac.
We up north always have stories to say, and a war story we have.

It involves many people going down the trenches, up the bunkers, always trying to take control of the high hill while facing off the Bears and the bulls.

The name of that story my friend is:

The canadian dollar

I wasn't trying to put a wet blanket, but adding a level of reality to it.

Planning is all nice and dandy, but there is a whole level of logistics and operations in it. Unless you want a small convention like the first trek one with 3 stars and 17 fans.

Trust me, I'm working on a plan to put a zero behind that 3 and 17....

Hadrian, I've been to a couple of Trekkie conventions with my oldest son, He is an avid Trekkie. There were always several hundred or more people at them. 1 had Spock (Lenoard N) and the other had Q (can't remember name off hand right now) they were all really interesting, in fact Q was really funny. N was not as friendly, more on the cool side

An amature convention would workif it was a few buddies getting together in one place.
The logistics would be tough because of the computer equipment.
Not every one can buy a laptop, (including me).
Like geoschmo said, It is a nice dream.
If a few got together, then maybe it could be organized for a larger group the following February.
Then? who knows?
