Greetings all,

The time has come to begin our search for the location of the first IRL North America. We would like to invite you to make suggestions as to where we should hold the event. We're looking for ease of access for our North American AND European friends, so please keep that in mind.

I will update this thread with new locations as you all suggest them. Once we have a better feel for where, we can start discussing when. So, without further blathering on my part...

WHERE DO YOU WANNA HAVE THIS THING??

Suggested Locations (alphabetically listed):

Atlanta
Austin
Baltimore
Boston
Cincinnati
Charolette

Chicago
Cleveland
Dallas
Denver
Detroit
Grand Rapids
Houston
Jacksonville
Las Vegas
Los Angeles
Miami
Minneapolis
Montrose
New York City
Orlando
Pheonix
Philadelphia
San Francisco
Seattle
Tampa
Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
Washington DC


** If I am missing a suggested location, please PM me and I will add it in. Once we have a good set of suggestions, we will end up adding a poll to vote for the popular spot. ;)

NYC would be cool wit me since its only about a 2 1/2-4 hour drive(depending on traffic) and I could just go on to Connecticut after and visit my mom :D

I think Chicago would be a good central location! Good for west coast players and still pretty close to east coast for those that have to puddle jump to get here :D And of course everyone from the east coast ;)

I'll go with Chicago as well. kinda in the middle of everything.

Theres a lot of Halls on the outskirts that have 2 floors, one with a bar the other for Meeting and eating, so those that don't drink can watch those of us that do, fall "up" the stairs. :D

My preference as well. It's just as much a major hub for travel purposes as NY is. The flight will be longer from Europe, but more balanced for the 2 coasts of the US.

Chicago sounds good to me, NYC would be more expensive Hotel wise. And DC Hotels are Atrocious<--(bad spelling sorry)
