Hello DC/VA/MD peoples!
It is my pleasure to bring you a discussion about a DC/VA/MD Gameday for the late winter/early spring of 2007. I know it's early, but if we're going to do this and do it right, we need to start planning early.
So, I guess, my first question is: who's willing to help out and what sort of help are you willing to offer? Do you want to volunteer to make phone calls to local gaming stores and companies to see if we can get some sponsorship/donations for door prizes/auctions? Do you want to try to help raise some funds (as we'll need a bit of money)? Do you want to donate $10 to go towards the renting if a conference room? Do you want to volunteer to put people from out-of-town up at your place? Do you want to host an independent site for advertising the gameday? There's so many things that will need to be done... and we'll need people to do all of them! And, what is more, we want a group of diverse ENW-ers to think of everything and help cover all our bases.
This is something that I've been dreaming about for about a year, but did not want to dedicate my time to until I could see the proverbial light at the end of the academic tunnel (and with my December graduation 100-days-away-or-so, that light is near!).
So... let's get a dialogue going!
