Summer Shindig

[Ryan Eldridge]

Well, after a brief break, it's finally time to start thinking about the next ACC meet-up. The big trouble we've had in the past is working around conventions and holidays so that people could attend. So, after checking here for shows (between now and the end of June) in any state bordering GA and got the following available dates for when there are no cons:

April 25th (Saturday)
May 2nd (Saturday)
May 3rd (sunday)
May 10th (sunday)
May 16th (Saturday)
June 27th (Saturday)
June 28th (Sunday)

So, what do you guys think? Any of those days sound better than the other for anyone?

[Sean Taylor]

May 2 is free comic book day, I believe.

[Ryan Eldridge]

Ah, you're right. Forgot about that one!

[Sarah White]

I think it's a little short notice to have it April 25th. I know some people are going to need to put in a week or two in advance for time off and such. So one of the later May or June dates seems to be the most feasible just based on the current time frame.

[Ryan Eldridge]

Yeah, the April one was mostly included just for total coverage of all the open dates (didn't want to appear prejudiced against april :P)

[Sean Taylor]

If you're gonna be prejudiced against something, April is a good target. Damn pollen-filled month.

[Ryan Eldridge]

Since we're not getting much input, I'll suggest a date. How does June 27th sound?

[Sarah White]

Works for me. And since it does, it is obviously now the official date :D

[Bobby Nash]

June 27th works for me too.

[Ryan Eldridge]

It's looking like that seems to be the general consensus.

Anyone have any objections to that day?

[hart chamberlin]

any idea yet where we'll be meeting up?

[Sarah White]

So the meet-up is supposed to be this weekend, and to the extent of my knowledge, no one's said where we're meeting up yet. While it would be interesting to just let a handful of artists drive around Atlanta for hours until they start bumping into each other, that seems to me a very ineffective way of getting them all in one place.
