Transfest US?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Transfest US?

Post by sprunkner » Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:02 pm

I'm going to be in Asheville, North Carolina, an absolutely gorgeous place, in April. Anyone from the region feel like taking a drive into the mountains? Somebody's in South Carolina, I know.

The idea is sound.

An american TransFest has the potential for some awesome stuff.

However, the ultimate would be a carefully planned one in NYC, or, in Oregon! :)

We'd have to have the cover give homage to a location in the US that was featured most prominently, I'd say. :o Ideas?

I have a few for this years UK-based Transfest, but those belong in the other thread.

Still need to sort that out though.

Screw all this. We'll just all meet in Hawaii.

US Transfests will be ten times better than England's.

Shreveport, Louisiana. About 4 hours from Shanti. Not sure where LROP is. NE Texas is potentially VERY close to me since Shreveport is 10 miles from Texas.

Freakin huge state next door.
Oh yeah, and anything Im at is the best place to be. Even the proctologist.

NC is a good ways away. Lets see, Arkansas and Tennesee are both in between here and there.

probably a 8-10 hour drive, you can get from easttexas to St. Louis, Missouri in 12 hours. (In reference to how longit would take to get to NC)
