[Sephex]

Filled out the survey. Ran the idea by Shelly and she said she'd be willing to come with me, too. The chances of us going vastly increases if there is a US meet up (I am down with the California idea being thrown around because I can also stalk the Game Grumps I have been there before, and I liked it).

I did fill out for me that both the UK and US is fine, but the US for me is far more likely. I have to go to a zillion weddings in the next couple of years, and a couple of those require me to travel out of state, so that's a lot of money already. Top that off with regular bills and major payments like property taxes, and that makes it harder to save some money, but I have a couple tricks up my sleeve.

So there we go. That's my situation in more detail!

I would say it's about a 50% chance I would go to an American one if it was big enough, 30% I would go to a European one (even if it isn't in England), and 20% I wouldn't go to either. Two years from now is far away.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that I'm going. I don't know for sure what money will be like in the coming days, but it will be more likely to work out if I commit to it now.

[Freya]

I'd meet up with Kace face and then she'd hit me and then I'd cry and leave

That's pretty accurate.

[noxious.sunshine]

I'm definitely interested in going.

It'll be tough to save money for the trip cuz Jay and I are going to start saving for a house soon & we have a million other trips we have to plan and finance- flying to Texas to visit my dad, flying to Nashville and stuff.

But I think it's entirely plausible! Especially if I can manage to get my bf into planning a trip to the Philippines when it happens, then maybe Jinx & Denmark & us could fly to UK together, and Jay can go on to the Philippines (I'll meet up with him after the weekend in UK)!

If by some miracle that happens to be the case, Jay could probably get his dad to pay for part- if not most- of our flight ticket costs. xD

As far as flights from Australia go, getting to London is cheaper than Edinburgh, and getting to either of those cities is still cheaper than West Coast US, according to a quick search. So if the Aussies were going to go anywhere based purely on price, it would probably be the UK.

[Jiro]

West Coast US is not easier or cheaper for me to get to; London takes that (why? I don't know). On top of that, as Psychotic has alluded to, London and the UK have specific draw cards for some people that the US does not. I have been there once before, and while I would love to go back one day, I do not intend to visit the same places repeatedly while there are others waiting. Ain't no 221b Baker Street in LA, for instance.

People seem to be genuinely turned off by the cost of travel, which is understandable. So do a UK and one or more US meetups. It's not the world meetup that Shorty envisioned, but at least people are hanging out, and that's cool.

AWESOME

I guess you need to be on the EC or maybe Sarah will actually share my full musings on the subject. However, y'all be thinking of London as a small group or individual in Central London when you complain about the price. As I pointed out, places like Wimbledon, due to the Tennis have crap loads of hotels which aren't as pricey as those in Mayfair, great links to 2 of the major London airports and Central London is 10 mins on a train away.

You've also got options depending on numbers of things like hiring a community hall, just don't waste money on the bar and accompanying staff. Get a literal smurf-ton of grog, some big bins full of ice and chill it that way.

What in the UK would sound interesting to you if they all strike you as boring? O_o

I'm all aboard the visit Sherlock with Jiro train.
