That’s all the way across the country for me. :/ Still, there’s a CHANCE I might be able to come to Chicago.
I think people from my school are going to DC next year. Still, even if I went along (which is pretty likely) I probably wouldn’t be able to do much with MBers.

I live in WA.S. and my mom will take me to Portland Oregon or Seattle WA.S. She would also probably take me to other smaller closer towns/cities, but if I start naming them it would be easy to tell where I live.
Can anyone here come to the aforesaid cities?

Sign me up for DC any time in the summer except for July 15-Aug.4

Lots of confusion with these Washingtons. Why don’t we use Washington for Washington, and D. C. for what is really D. C.?
June 2 isn’t good. And May 19-21 isn’t good. Most saturdays aren’t good. What about in the summer, when it could be on a weekday? Robert says Science isn’t interesting on the weekend.

I miss one week… I mention it here because I was just in DC, although I saw no MuseBloggers there. I saw a lot of cool monuments, though, and once I was in the same building as Penguini, although I didn’t *see* her.
52- School officially ends for me the Wed. after June 18, and starts again the Wed. after Labor Day.
12- But there can be one in NY. If anyone else lives in the state, tell me now. I haven’t told my parents yet or anything, but we could do something in August. Maybe. You live generally near the city where Dancing Fox was, right?

34: Wow, that’s exciting! The fact that there’s a whole week devoted to speling activities, that is. I had no idea spellers were so… hardcore.
I live in northeast Ohio. GAPAs, if something’s ever eventually planned near me, after one of my parents emails you saying that I’ll be there, is there a problem with me just driving to the place and meeting up with everyone? I’m not sure anyone in my family would be interested in coming to meet random people who get the same magazne I do…

I asked my parents, and the ONLY day that works for me for a D.C. kokonvention is June 2. Any time of the day should work. So who can come? I’m reall sorry to those who can’t come on that date, but it’s really the only one that works (and i guess you could have your own sometime without me if that works)
So, June 2 in D.C. anyone?

75- You couldn’t make it to Spokane Valley would you? That is probably too far away for you, but I will be in that area this summer. I will be in Seattle though- But that wouldn’t be the best time for a KoKonvention. I will be there for about an hour or so (with luck) in the airport. Plus I will be really jet lagged, cause the plane ride over is nine hours, with a 8 hour time difference. Across the alantic. So, I wouldn’t be able to even TALK. I will also be in the Portland area, but I will be with my grandparents and we only get to see them for a few days. Then it might be a year or two until we see them again, so that isn’t too good for a ko konvention. Wait though – It would be possible for me to meet up with you somewhere. Could you make it to that dam (I forget the name) that has the giant fishery and the place where fish can swim up? We might be able to stop there….

Okay, so the largest city near me in Washington is indeed Seattle. Olympia is closer, but it doesn’t really count as a big city. I think Spokane is the second-nearest, but it’s on the other side of the cascades and I doubt my parents would drive me there.
I need a map!
0
0
89- Right. But your parents would take you to Bonneville?
We could try for Seattle, but I don’t think it would work too well. But bonneville… I’ll give it a go. Must look at a map. *Plots and plans some more* I’d really like to meet you Alice! You’re the mber I’d most like to meet.

90- I dreamed about meeting you once. It was cool and really fun (though I can’t remember what we did), until my sister forced us to break off the meeting. Grr. But in that dream you lived on Mt. Saint Helens. At the very top. In a very brightly lit and cozy house. And your name was Sophie.
What was the purpose of all that?
In short, you are one of the MBers that I would most like to meet as well! Yay! And there’s actually a chance of it! I’m so excited!
Anyhow, I STILL haven’t looked at a map. Maybe because our atlas is half a century old? *goes off to look at it anyways*
0

Bonneville isn’t a WHOLE lot further than Portland, so that’s a possibility. I’d have to ask my dad again; he might have work that prevents it. My mom might too.
Tacoma is the closest big city after Portland, or at least it was in the fifties…

My dad says it depends on the day. What day?

Well, I think that it is too soon to try and organise it this summer. I want to have it ASAP, but it seems much more plausible to try for next summer. We’re probably going next summer too. Yes?

94- Yeah, my dad might be less busy next summer too.
0
0
Well, right now things are really all “we’ll see” It looks like that next summer we will either be visiting the area or *gulp* moving there. If we *gulp* move, we will have plenty of time. If not, then I’m sure it will still work out.

Grammar, please: “Between Cinnamoon and me.” That is, it’s between Cinnamoon and you, but you should say “me.” That is, not “me” as in Robert the GAPA, but me as in the pronoun. The object of a preposition takes the objective case. All clear?

Just . . . one . . . more . . . summer. I must hold out! AGHH! I will summon Cat’s meow to this thread at my earliest possible convenience. (Whatever that means.) Then Cinnamoon shall return from vacation and we can plot and plan.
0
0
I am BACK! So, Alice, what would you like to do at the ko konvention?
0
0
108- It depends on where it is. For example, if it’s at or around Bonneville, I’d have to think about what activities we could do in that area; or if it was in Spokane or Seattle (highly unlikely places both), then there would be different things we could do. It seems like we would just talk, but that would be awfully awkward, if you ask me, since we talk about ‘most everything here already.
I still say eat pizza.
0
0
109- Could you get to Seattle?
0
0
Yeah, Seattle would be easiest for me to get to as well, if I was going. If you wanted me to go. It’s where Craig and Eileen live.
0
0
110- Oh, I could easily get to Seattle. I thought it was you who couldn’t. But my parents are both willing to take me there.
0
0
112- Seattle or Portland are both quite likely. I asked my mom, and she said that I’m definatly allowed to go if it is in the right place and the right time. I’m actually in washington now. Impromptu ko konvention! Nah, but next summer we might go to Seattle for a few days, or stop at bonneville, or Portland, or become a slightly more permanent part of the landscape.

24- No no, not that Washington. The other one. The state.
13, 20- I live in Washington.
I could almost definitely get one of my parental units to take me to a kokonvention in western Washington or north-western Oregon. We don’t do a whole lot of driving though.
Oooh! C’we have a Chicagoland meetup at the Harry Potter 7 release party in Oak Park?
Yes! My mother says she would take me to one in Portland, OR or Seattle, WA.
Can anyone do that?
44- Mmm….. When exactly is that? O.o
45- WA? Like, Washington the state? Or D.C?
43- I will add you to the list!
39- Can you come during the summer?

46- No! I am on the other side of the country. Washington State. From now on I will call it WA.S. so people don’t get mixed up. I live in WA.S. and my mom will take me to Portland Oregon or Seattle WA.S. She would also probably take me to other smaller closer towns/cities, but if I start naming them it would be easy to tell where I live.
Can anyone here come to the aforesaid cities?
Sign me up for DC any time in the summer except for July 15-Aug.4
Lots of confusion with these Washingtons. Why don’t we use Washington for Washington, and D. C. for what is really D. C.?
June 2 isn’t good. And May 19-21 isn’t good. Most saturdays aren’t good. What about in the summer, when it could be on a weekday? Robert says Science isn’t interesting on the weekend.
15-I can go to DC this summer because I live in Northern VA
This is going to take a long time, isn’t it? The dates are something like Summer, no Saturdays, not in-between July 15th and August 4. That’s not a huge amount of time. Fridays might not work for me, I have flute lessons then.
When does school officially end for everyone? Mine doesn’t end until June 18 but then it starts on Sept 5.
I can’t do June, so that doesn’t matter for me anyway.
I miss one week… I mention it here because I was just in DC, although I saw no MuseBloggers there. I saw a lot of cool monuments, though, and once I was in the same building as Penguini, although I didn’t *see* her.
52- School officially ends for me the Wed. after June 18, and starts again the Wed. after Labor Day.
12- But there can be one in NY. If anyone else lives in the state, tell me now. I haven’t told my parents yet or anything, but we could do something in August. Maybe. You live generally near the city where Dancing Fox was, right?
34: Wow, that’s exciting! The fact that there’s a whole week devoted to speling activities, that is. I had no idea spellers were so… hardcore.
I live in northeast Ohio. GAPAs, if something’s ever eventually planned near me, after one of my parents emails you saying that I’ll be there, is there a problem with me just driving to the place and meeting up with everyone? I’m not sure anyone in my family would be interested in coming to meet random people who get the same magazne I do…
My school ends June 1. It was supposed to end May 31, but we had a snow day.
44- July 21, d’oh.
I asked my parents, and the ONLY day that works for me for a D.C. kokonvention is June 2. Any time of the day should work. So who can come? I’m reall sorry to those who can’t come on that date, but it’s really the only one that works (and i guess you could have your own sometime without me if that works)
So, June 2 in D.C. anyone?
46-I can do either one…
57-Sorry emma…I’m probably in a soccer tournament that weekend, and I have to work that day.
57- Can’t go. Sorry.
48- What? That’s like… The whole summer…

Do you think we have enough people for to kokonvene in D.C this summer?
Probably, although I’m back to just plain Glassboro. Just so you know. And not June. I’m busy then.
you can’t come? Waaaaaaaaah. can anyone come June 2? Please?
Please add me to the DC list. Since I live so close, I’m not very picky about dates, as long as I’m not away at camp or something.
Ookay!

That’ll definitely do, but that’s not saying that we can’t have more. *winks at everyone not on the list twice, nudges everyone not on the list twice*
64- Yeah, well, I’d come if I could, but I can’t. I live too far away. I’m still waiting to see if anyone can come to Washington State or Oregon. (State.)
Are you coming on June 2 then, Julieb?
I can’t come on June two!!!
Not June 2nd!!!!! >:(
Can anyone come to the Pittsburgh/Muse Pennsylvania area? It’s about 4 hours from DC, and THF and I can probably have a Kokonvention basically any time. Anyone?
Can you and THP come to D.C? It would be more convenient, I think.
I can come to either place or both. Whichever is better for other people.
57-*goes to check calander* But I probably can make it.
69-It’ll be a long drive for me, about 3 hours. I dont like long drives, even if its to visit a fellow muser and MBer.
sorry maite.
72- I have a six hour PLANE RIDE!
*feels isolated in the middle of nowhere*
It’s a 10 hour drive to Chicago.
Anyway. I couldn’t make it this summer. My Bat Mitzvah is in July.
74- Where do you live? *is trying to get enough people in Washington state/Oregon*
75- You couldn’t make it to Spokane Valley would you? That is probably too far away for you, but I will be in that area this summer. I will be in Seattle though- But that wouldn’t be the best time for a KoKonvention. I will be there for about an hour or so (with luck) in the airport. Plus I will be really jet lagged, cause the plane ride over is nine hours, with a 8 hour time difference. Across the alantic. So, I wouldn’t be able to even TALK. I will also be in the Portland area, but I will be with my grandparents and we only get to see them for a few days. Then it might be a year or two until we see them again, so that isn’t too good for a ko konvention. Wait though – It would be possible for me to meet up with you somewhere. Could you make it to that dam (I forget the name) that has the giant fishery and the place where fish can swim up? We might be able to stop there….
76- You mean Bonneville? Maybe. I’d have to ask my parents.
Thats the one. I asked my parents, but they said no anyway.
Oh, well. That’s too bad, though. Sigh.
Alice- What is the nearest big town to you? If I say that I’m in the spokane valley ish area, maybe we can find somewhere that we could meet that would be good for both of us?
ALICE!!!
I was doing that so she would come here to see Cinnamon’s post!
81 (HAWK)- I never even saw that post!
80 (Cinnamoon)- Nearest big town to me? Portland. In Washington? Seattle, maybe? I’m not sure. *goes off to find a map*
Hmm.. Ok. *Plots and plans*
[Spam, begone!]
84- What?
Any Chicago people want to plan another one? We should start planning soon, before nconvienient things like school get in the way. What about August, guys?
83- *also plots and plans*
84 is spam, right?
87 – Probably, but not very good spam. It didn’t convince me to buy anything!
Okay, so the largest city near me in Washington is indeed Seattle. Olympia is closer, but it doesn’t really count as a big city. I think Spokane is the second-nearest, but it’s on the other side of the cascades and I doubt my parents would drive me there.
I need a map!
89- Right. But your parents would take you to Bonneville?
We could try for Seattle, but I don’t think it would work too well. But bonneville… I’ll give it a go. Must look at a map. *Plots and plans some more* I’d really like to meet you Alice! You’re the mber I’d most like to meet.
90- I dreamed about meeting you once. It was cool and really fun (though I can’t remember what we did), until my sister forced us to break off the meeting. Grr. But in that dream you lived on Mt. Saint Helens. At the very top. In a very brightly lit and cozy house. And your name was Sophie.
What was the purpose of all that?
In short, you are one of the MBers that I would most like to meet as well! Yay! And there’s actually a chance of it! I’m so excited!
Anyhow, I STILL haven’t looked at a map. Maybe because our atlas is half a century old? *goes off to look at it anyways*
Bonneville isn’t a WHOLE lot further than Portland, so that’s a possibility. I’d have to ask my dad again; he might have work that prevents it. My mom might too.
Tacoma is the closest big city after Portland, or at least it was in the fifties…
My dad says it depends on the day. What day?
Well, I think that it is too soon to try and organise it this summer. I want to have it ASAP, but it seems much more plausible to try for next summer. We’re probably going next summer too. Yes?
94- Yeah, my dad might be less busy next summer too.
Well, right now things are really all “we’ll see” It looks like that next summer we will either be visiting the area or *gulp* moving there. If we *gulp* move, we will have plenty of time. If not, then I’m sure it will still work out.
ALICE! COME HERE!
Thank you. What do you think – what would we actually do at the ko konvention which will happen sometime in the future?
96- Whoa. Moving?
97- Eat pizza.
That seems random, but it’s not.
It all depends on where we meet.
98- Looks like it.
Eating pizza sounds quite good actually.
Whoa, this thread’s still alive? What’s being discussed?
100- A possible next-year kokon between Cinnamoon and I.
Grammar, please: “Between Cinnamoon and me.” That is, it’s between Cinnamoon and you, but you should say “me.” That is, not “me” as in Robert the GAPA, but me as in the pronoun. The object of a preposition takes the objective case. All clear?
102- Bother! I was actually trying to pay attention to grammar, and of course I got it wrong.
Chicagoooooo.
Next summer.
The Taste.
Yes, we know, JS. I think that I actually might have a chance, too.
102- So, you’re helping with grammar now?
(105) Only sometimes.
104- I would come to Chicago, honest, but I can’t. The problems with being a kid.
Just . . . one . . . more . . . summer. I must hold out! AGHH! I will summon Cat’s meow to this thread at my earliest possible convenience. (Whatever that means.) Then Cinnamoon shall return from vacation and we can plot and plan.
I am BACK! So, Alice, what would you like to do at the ko konvention?
108- It depends on where it is. For example, if it’s at or around Bonneville, I’d have to think about what activities we could do in that area; or if it was in Spokane or Seattle (highly unlikely places both), then there would be different things we could do. It seems like we would just talk, but that would be awfully awkward, if you ask me, since we talk about ‘most everything here already.
I still say eat pizza.
109- Could you get to Seattle?
Yeah, Seattle would be easiest for me to get to as well, if I was going. If you wanted me to go. It’s where Craig and Eileen live.
110- Oh, I could easily get to Seattle. I thought it was you who couldn’t. But my parents are both willing to take me there.
112- Seattle or Portland are both quite likely. I asked my mom, and she said that I’m definatly allowed to go if it is in the right place and the right time. I’m actually in washington now. Impromptu ko konvention! Nah, but next summer we might go to Seattle for a few days, or stop at bonneville, or Portland, or become a slightly more permanent part of the landscape.
113- Really? You’re in Washington right now? But where?
My mother is thrilled with the idea of a kokonvention (after we explained to her what it is), and says that she will definitely support this. Hooray!
Wow, I didn’t know this was still open…
Of course it’s still open.
I’m leaving to spend some time in Oregon tomorrow.
The one thing that will be missing:
GAPAs.
*sniff*
True…
What a dead thread. How sad.
Ooh… That was a looooooooooooooooong time ago. Half a year, almost. 0.o
