Mittens USA

[Matt Brown]

Ive seen most of the states east of me, (ohio), and if its camping and traveling ease, I recomend upstate new york, although carolina might not be such a bad idea. Things are cheaper there, but its would be hot, and I dont think thats closer for anybody except those FAGS (florida AGSers )


I doubt I'll be going if its out of state, which it will be, since my parents arent too keen on my going camping with a bunch of dudes that I oinly know from teh internet.

[juncmodule]

I know myself and a few others were wondering if it could be tied in to fit around E3 in someway

East coast if you want people from this side of the world to show up, West Coast if you Americans are being all private and fiendish.

??

Isn't E3 in LA? Or does it change? I'm confused. I think that is a good idea but, if it would prevent some overseas AGSers from coming...not good idea.

As far as Americans going back and forth about East/West coast...Come on guys!! AGSers are coming from across the ocean and you can't cross a few states!? Show some dedication here.

Bspeers: Yeah, I'm East coast. And you forgot Unilin! He's in Ottawa.

I'm definetly if favour of an East coast Mittens- New York State I might be able to make it to.

Oooo.. a girl coming to Mittens. Scary.

[Archangel (aka SoupDragon)]

Girl? Whassat then? Sounds like a UNIX-spinoff.

[Pumaman]

I heard they have cooties.

[m0ds]

And I heard you were having an affair with James Slaughter

A NY Mittens would sooooo rock.

Yeah, E3 is held in california and there is a few problems with that. A. Money and B. you have to be a member of the asscociated press or apart of the gaming industry to even think about getting a pass..Unless you have good friends in good places.

The reason why East coast is ideal is because as of the first discussion about a Us mittens most of the Us AGSers lived on the east coast...at that time about 30-40 were center/east coast and about 5 were center/west coast. I have no idea what the numbers are now but I am pretty sure east coast is still winning.

[MillsJROSS]

I think, at the moment, the general consensus is eats coast, NY. But I'd like to hear numbers from either side. Still, the point in the east coast is to get a majority of the AGSers who don't live in the U.S.

Does that mean you've nominated yourself for hosting Mittens 2004, Mills?

Not really...I just wanted to get some planning going, before someone else perhaps stole it away from the U.S. (Like the aussie's, because they have a strong claim too).  I do want to play a part in it's comming together, though. As I've not been able to go to the Mittens last year or the upcomming one.

Like Seattle, Portland,

Everybody loves Portland!
But since the east coast would be more convienient for about 99% of AGSers, I guess that a west-coast mittens will have to wait for another year.
Some day...

[TerranRich]

I too nominate upstate New York, which is where Lake George is (where I recommended earlier on). i live only like 5-6 hours away.

[cpa'ge]

How about Las Vegas, we could all become millionaires

lies
I dont know if you know this but....... you lose more often then win

but seriously if it was in vegas I would definatly be there
its an okay town, hot.. and expensive but still cool

[Pesty]

I want to go, I do, but I have a lot of things barring my way. Besides having a paranoid father who thinks everyone is out to get me (which is only true 90% of the time), I'm not sure how I would PAY for the trip. I don't know where I'll be or what I'll be doing a year from now, job and school wise, so I really can't promise anything. I'm looking at some schools on the east coast and by that time I would probably be over there already, which would be just dandy indeed. Unfortunately everything is unsure. Phooey patooey.

I mainly want to go so that Dragonrose won't be the only girl. And I want Dragonrose to go so I wont be the only girl.

...'Cause I don't know if you guys are out to get me.

* Pesty  eyes everyone suspiciously.

Edit: If it were in Vegas, the chances of me being able to go would be greater, because it's much closer to me.

Mills, it was already decided that 2004 would be in the USA

2005 on the other hand has to be somewhere paradisic, like, hawaii or spain or something. ANYWAY. Lets not jump ahead of ourselves. 2003 hasn't passed yet.

[bspeers1000]

East Coast is good, regardless of whether I can go or not.  Upstate New York sounds workable.

Though to be clear, it's probably farther from the West Coast of Canada to the East Coast of USA than from England to New York.  And possibly more expensive, considering dollar values.

Whatever.  As long as I have a chance to finally get that pesky Pesty.

[Sluggo]

Just to throw another suggestion in, didn't someone mention New Hampshire a while ago? I can't remember who.

I wasn't aware of it. Last year I thought we were going to plan for a Mittens USA 2003, but it ended up in Sweden. I was just taking the initiative. But Hawai is USA, too, m0ds. Anyway we wouldn't want to go there, I hear it's too crowded with tourists. But we'll get to planning that next year, I'm sure.

Pesty - There's still plenty of time before people even need to know who is absolutely comming and who isn't. So no rush...you have a year to save money, and convince your dad. If you don't succeed, put that money into next year, or some other equaly enjoyable trip.

Though to be clear, it's probably farther from the West Coast of Canada to the East Coast of USA than from England to New York. And possibly more expensive, considering dollar values.

Yes, that's probably true, but England isn't the only people we're trying to attract here. And I'm not sure of the rates over sea flights from Europe versus the flights from Canada.

We also have to put into consideration, that there are more Europeans than Canadians.

Yes, well, as m0ds says, let's not get ahead of ourselves - Mittens 2003 might turn into an orgy of hate and destruction, starting a chain of events which leads to the eventual implosion of these forums.

Which would kinda mean Mittens 2004 got cancelled.

[MillsJROSS]

Mittens 2003 might turn into an orgy of hate and destruction

So it'll be like Mittens 2002 all over again...

Allright, who's been leaking information?

[evenwolf]

I don't think there should be much debate of where in the U.S. Mittens should be because I think the greatest factor is:

Does an AGSer live anywhere closeby AND is he/she willing to organize the event?

So Northern Florida or upstate New York are both ideal locations, provided airport travel and all that, but is eric, dave gilbert, mills, grund, whoever willing to take some responsibility on the ground?

I'm just saying- it's probably not a good idea to hold mittens somewhere none have us have ever been before- like Chunky, Mississippi...
well actually.. Chunky is kind of nice that time of year.

I vote for where the balls is.

And if there are no balls I vote Austin TX, because it's the live music capital of the country, hotter than a homeless dragqueen's armpit, and I'll blow tons of shit up for you guys.  Oh yeah, and the girls..

But hopefully there will be some eat coast balls
