Subject: So... anybody want to meet up?

I've never really seen a thread like this in the public forums. And I'm not all together certain if it should be allowed or not, to be honest.

PAX is in Seattle. PAX East? East Coast. E3? California. Comic-Con? San Diego. ... The mid-west has nothing. Nothing at all. No love- ever. And this has been on my mind for a really long time.

I don't know if I'd do this. I don't know if I want to do this necessarily. But just to gauge if the interest is there...

I was wondering how many Bnet folks would be up for a day in Chicago later this month or the next? I met up with two Bnet people in Chicago two years ago- we didn't even really know each other on Bnet we just did it because we realized we were all going to be at this same conference and figured it'd be fun. We had lunch. It was fun. I still have the picture, hah. But Bungie.net really has nothing big going on that we know of. PAX is at the end of the month so maybe something will happen. And I know a fair number of people that will see this thread will be going so they're already meeting up.

But, like I said. Midwest gets no love. And my cash flow is pretty much dedicated to housing right now.

This isn't a 'meet here on this date' thread. This is a... if someone, maybe myself were to set a date, would anybody actually be interested in doing something like this?

I'm in Wisconsin and Chicago is a few hours drive for me. But I figure... birthplace of Bungie. Big city. Lots to do- even outside of Chicago if we did something like... Six-Flags or something (Childish? Shush you. I love the place). It could be fun.

So yeah. Discuss your thoughts on this.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

If you got the cash for a plane ticket then yeah.

I personally don't see anything wrong with meeting up if its at something like a convention, however being in england means that there are like no conventions.

Also murdererisers might turn up.

Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

Sounds like Serial Killer mischief to me.

OT: I wouldn't be averse to meeting some of you IRL. Some being the key word.

I would probably not say what my online name was.

Always wondered: why is it the midwest? It's more of just the midmid if you ask me.

I'd meet you, but Albany is quite a drive away, and my private jet is still at the dealership so...

  • 08.06.2012 10:51 AM PDT

I who walk alone in this world wrapped in the arms of the past not knowing what lies ahead of me. What am I? A soulless being to be beaten by the rage of those who hate me? Cutting my way past hopes and dreams. Sit in the window sill as I do every day and night resignations on my slate of who I am and what is left behind. Concealed in the words that chases my every thought. I who walk alone in this world…I am broken

That would be pretty chill.


If i have the extra monies then yeah sure.why not?

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend BNC 2012. I was looking forward to the search bar competition and the forum post count race. I heard that Disembodied Soul will be in attendance this year.

I could call this Bungiecon if you want. It had crossed my mind. Then you would be obligated to buy a plane ticket.

It's a shame Bungiecon has a budget of $0. It's just something for fun. The responses so far have been... expected. But hopefully some folks will show up that might have an interest.

Out of interest, would anybody pick me up from the airport if I came over for BungieCon?

I'd be down with doing something like that at some point, fo' sho'. I imagined Bungiecon closers to Bungie, but it'd be cool to hang with some of my B.net bros.

Nah, it can't be BungieCon if there's no budget and you're going to Six Flags. At most it's the "Bungie Midwest Meetup".
