I know this isn't gonna be good come later on if any of us have important things to post about the convetion (if we get it approved) and we can't post anything. But I guess either here or E-mailing each other would be the back up plan. :/

I guess we're still doing Greenville? I like the idea, but I think New York will be more practical. I just google mapped it. Greenville is a day away by driving.
Which is not so bad...if I had a car. I don't know who is driving me to Mississippi and getting to New York is usually much easier. Since a lot of people live in that area and it's definatley easier to get to than Greenville. I always have freinds and family going to New York constantly, and will be easy to find a lift there.

Also, anywhere we do it, it should be held in the summer. We should decide a date soon. Becuase I already have to plan out for next summer. I think July will have a good turnout.

I want to keep it at Greenville becuase i think it's most appropriate to do it there, but maybe we should think of sending a letter to other places too. If Greenville rejects, then we should go for New York.

See now, while your points are indeed very valid, I actually think Atlanta is a good plan B. The Puppetry school is there and it'd be a heck of a lot cheaper too.
Something you have to consider, though, is no matter where we hold this....it's going to be hard for someone to get there. There is no magic portal or perfectly central and relevant location for us all to converge on. Sadly, that's just the breaks. That's not even taking into account anyone overseas who would be interested.....NOT that anyone would do that just yet on this small scale project but eventually.
I understand what you're saying but I think that no matter where we go, someone's gonna have to try twice if not three times as hard to get there.

And yeah. There seems to be a glitch somewhere over there right now. Like I said to Pinky, maybe Danny's working on something and that's why. No telling but I'm sure it's easily fixed....err... I hope?

I actually wanted to mention the bit about various arts for the site. Outside of later promotional materials we can use it for, I wanted to point something else out too...

Some sites I've been on before have a rotating header. (Don't kill me if this isn't the exact technical term!) Basically, everytime you refresh the page, the header image changes. You have several and it just keeps cycling between them. That is something we can do if we want....and can figure out the technology behind it. Can't be that hard, right?
That or when we get more sections put up, each section could have its own header. How cool would that be?!

True... I understand.
I would like to do it in Greenville, but New York would be closer for me. Just wanted to suggest it. If you would all agree, then that would be great. But if I really want to go, I'll have to fly to Greenville. (I have no idea how much that costs).
Anyhoo, if the city of Greenville DOES say yes, what date are you planning to do it. Like I said above, I think early July is a good time, I think we'll get a good show-up then.
