BAAAHHHH!!! 10 1/2 hour drive?? Without accounting for traffic?? From southern California?? This sounds like a really rough adventure challenge.... I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it >.<

Just put all your points in Endurance at char gen, you'll be fine.

Or pick Merchant as a starting scenario, and take a plane. You can also achieve this result by picking up rocks and selling them at your local market, but be careful since this can lead to rapid inflation in your local economy.

Angle, whereabouts?

I've got a court case at the end of June, but if I win I am going to go to the meetup. I live in Colorado Springs, we could probably get together and go if it all works out... Though I imagine the meetup would have to be mid July for that to work.

Depending on my financial situation, the dates, and my willingness to do a 10ish hour drive, I may go. Wouldn't be a bad trip. 

EDIT:
...Wow. It's over twice as much for a round trip ticket than it is to drive. And that's even assuming gas winds up at $4/gallon.

It's about a 4 hours drive...I could actually make that. Only problem is I have to work weekends so I would need to know a date to see if I could request it off work.

We'd also love to have anyone from the gaming or entertainment industry, like Valve or Pixar!  If you work for a company like these, please PM me.

could probably talk the maker of caster to show up if its in the seattle area

Crap. I live in California but the good game conventions are still a butt numbing drive.

For some reason, having a large group of Dorf fortress players in one location seems like the apocalypse waiting to happen, probably involving a giant burning elf, and ending with the world spiraling out of control into a writhing pit of grief stricken government officials and babies with broken brains and missing bodies.

I'd be there if I could.  :D

This seems really interesting. There's only a tiny chance I'll be able to go, but I'll see if I can.

Also.. you forgot about the magma and infinite waterwheels, Azated. Silly you.

I'd be there if anybody would listen to my amazing idea of digging a tunnel through through the caverns to the U.S.

Looks like 10 people can go thus far, according to the poll.

Redding?  The meetup is going to be in Redding, of all places?

^
My two best friends in the navy were both from... Redding.  It was kinda weird.  They never met each other, had no reason to know each other.  Life can be weird. 

I'd be there for sure, if cross-country plane tickets were absolutely free.
