Now this topic I have to put my words in... Everyone knows I am all about meeting people.
So, instead of just having a few "get together" at different regionals, I suggest we have one in all the regionals. Obliviously none of us can show up at EVERY regional... So, how about, we have a least one person for each regional who's interested in this take lead in getting people for a "get together"?
It should've been too much work, because later, there will always be threads like, "Who is going to ******** regional?", or some sort "******* regional check in!!!". And by then, people who are interested in getting together can just start a post at the end asking, "who is interested in getting together~?".
And as Andrew Rudolph said, there is already web hug at Epcot during the championship event, so let's leave Chief Delphi to that.
I will leave Ken Lyod for Seattle and LA... because he volunteered the fastest.
However, there can always be more than one person help get people together, like e-mailing some of the forum members you know who will be attending certain regionals.
Mean while, I volunteer for San Jose!
