Hi I have just been reading up on Ed's questions and something I read struck me, no not the keyboard!.
The Hooded One said something about It would be nice to meet / see some of the members she talks too.
Has there ever been a Members of Candlekeep Meet?
I know we are spread all over the world, but alot of people on the boards have struck up friendships and I wondered if any of you have met up or organised a meet?
At least a meet for people in the same country, to save on airfare.
Delz

You probably won't be surprised either that most of my replies were, for reasons that have still not be made clear, "removed" from that particular thread.

One hopes this would come to pass.
Is it worth asking THO to forward our invite to him?

Well met
Alas, I believe authorsdesigners are invited and paid for by WotC to attend GENCON. With WotC stepping out of the running of GENCON UK I doubt they would have anyone else over these days (I don't recall seeing anyone there recently as guests other than artists).
Furthermore, i'm sure Ed will be the #1 guest of honor at GENCON Indy this year, 2007 being a landmark year for the Realms 
Maybe one day though, eh? |

I'll admit I was a little curious about things over there a few days ago, so I decided to visit. What a mistake. Can you believe they're all still arguing about the plane changes made to the Realms. And, as usual, the poor Great Wheel supporters are shouted down . . . .
I'm glad that sort of thing doesn't happen here.
Indeed there is way to much of that over there. And why am I not surprised that that is still being complained about.... mutter. |

Aye What could a little furry space hamster do to get banned??
It's kinda amusing because they have now retracted, or so I heard, the reason why he got banned. You can now talk about novels as long as you don't get insulting/criticize the authors.

I think it would be difficult to get many members together. We have people from all over the world. Even if we choose England (what is a good choise for me) we can't have any change that people from the USA shall come.
If you want a meeting I go to York about a few months with a few rpg friends (2 of them are on Candlekeep)

As I said before, I can provide sleeping space for a couple of people, hell, if anyone living outside Europe needs a place to stay (and provided he helps keeping the fridge filled!) can crash at my place as well. |

Me and Dwarvenranger get together every Friday night for our weekly game... so we have very frequent Candlekeep Meets. heheh
Anyone that cares to join our Meet is free to. There are no Cons in South Texas (maybe up in San Antonio), but we have beaches and lots of Mexican Food! Granted, most of it is Jalisco Style, or plain ole Tex-Mex, but its good!

Central Florida, east coast. The Space Coast area -- I'm about half an hour south of Daytona. If you look at a map, there's a spot half-way down where the state bulges outward, just a bit. That's where I am.
I may be going to Atlanta in a month or two, but it's work-related. 
I happen to be in Port St. Lucie right now, just having helped my parents move up from Boca Raton. I'm going to start making my way back to TX on Tues with a stopover in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Maybe we could do lunch or something |

OK some interest
All we need is more people to say there up for it.
If The cost of GenCon UK is going to add to much to this we are flexible, It would be a shame to miss Sage by a week or two so idea's and other possible venues..
or a good show of hands for the GenCon UK idea.
I know I'm in.
and Alaundo
Prehaps if we make a good show of hands some or even one of the designers can "expense" a trip to the UK ?????
Any takers?

Well met
Certainly not on the scale of US GENCON's. Ed has been in the past and ran a seminar (which was thoroughly enjoyable  ), but designer attendance tends to be quite sparse. We'll have to wait for the announcements though.
I'll certainly be attending GENCON UK. I'd love to be able to attend GENCON Indy this year but it's looking a little more unlikely now  |

One of these years I will just up and tell the wife that I'm going to Atlanta to the ComicCon, and if I really get serious it will be a trip to Indianapolis to GenCon. It may take a few years for that, however, since I have to wait for the Bears to go to Indy and beat the Colts so I can have at least a little revenge for the SuperBowl defeat.  |

Sorry, can't get together enough money to fly overseas since I'm still paying for 06's Gencon. I'd love to go to 07's but it turns out I have a wedding to go to (no, not mine!) in the middle of Gencon 07's weekend. |

I'll be visiting the UK in late July-early August, mostly for work purposes and to catch up with the Lady K's extended family.
It might be a stretch, but I could try and re-schedule for a little later in the month. I make no promises though...

I'm still hoping to be able to scrape together enough to go to GenCon Indy this year, and hopefully will find some of you this year (my ex wife and her lawyer got in the way of last year's visit), but I doubt I'll be visiting the UK this year, much as I'd like to do so. |

As I said, I will play host to anyone who wants to attend the Spiel 2007 in Essen, Germany. I live about 30 minutes by train away from the fair grounds, and when you get a ticket you can drive there for free, if you so choose to.
Plus, I know for us Europeans are a couple century old cities no biggie, but should somebody from another continent wanna stay here, 3 castles (ok, one in ruins but still) and an old city that consists of about 150 buildings being older than the US.
My place ain't big, but I can house as I said before at least 6 people... maybe more. |

(then after we break, we go out hit the pubs, rob old ladies, blame the American etc...)
I planned on coming over there and doing a touristy Castle tour around my home island...Ireland sometime in 07 anyway. fall/winter would be perfect ( i need to save like 3,000 bucks yet. i'd be staying like a week or two.) so yeah count me in if you do it fall/winter 07.
(and Delz, if we all go out to a pub, I will not draw you pics of your battlerager on beer napkins..so don't ask hehe.)
