Ontario/Michigan gathering?

[Tsyr]

I'm game, I'll be living in the are, and crossing the border shouldn't be a problem.

More info would be nice.

Will be?

Let me see if I can set anything up for say the 15-17th of August. I will see if I can get any $$ from the Ministry of Tourism or sponsorship form local business.

There are many places we could play in. There are so many union halls and ethnic clubs here in Windsor. When I have Details as to when and where I will post them.

Who would use a Hotel? If there is enough demand we may get a group rate. I will check with local hotels to see what they would need in order to offer a group rate.

Has anyone done this before? Any advice?

I'm tentatively (tenatively? me no spell good) interested... Windsor's a nice city, been meaning to visit there again anyways.

I would not be staying in a hotel. Any good game stores in Windsor, or do we need to charter some kind of community center or conference room? Lots of apartment complexes have community center type of rooms that residents can reserve too...

No game stores here in Windsor. There is a Games Workshop but that is it.

If one of our local Detroit residents can get us a place cheap we could do it there. Windsor may as well be part of Detroit.

We have a tourist office here in town I'm going to see what help they can give me.

And whoever says Windsor is a nice town has never been here. It is nothing but hookers, gambling and factories. Well I gues 2/3 ain't bad

I can't wait to move from here. THe biggest benefit is being so close to Detroit.

I Love Detroit. Seriously!!!

I would be interested as well! I would think people would come down from Toronto and the surrounding areas.

 

[Holy Bovine]

Would people be as interested (mainly our good friends living in Michigan) if the location was moved to London? This would make it easier for our good friends in Toronto to make it down as London is halfway between Toronto and Windsor (about 2 hours drive either way). Also London does have 3 (count 'em 3) games stores two of which could probably be convinced to donate prizes (the last in most definately an Unfriendly local games shop).

Just trying to get a feel for who's willing to travel where (I'm fine with either city honestly).

 

[Desdichado]

I would do London, but that means folks in Michigan much farther west than Detroit and the suburbs would have to drive really far.

Windsor is an easy drive for me, and I might be interested -- it would depend heavily on my sometimes (often) erratic schedule. Depending on the setup, I might be able to coax some/all of the group I game with in Ann Arbor to come out as well.

I would be much more likely to drive back and forth between Windsor and Ypsi than stay in a hotel.

Good luck with this one - being an Ontarian myself, I certainly hope it flies!

To encourage attendance, I encourage the organizer to email me (blackhammer@dreadgazebo.com) to arrange for some prize PDFs from Ambient Inc. to attendees.
