I'm from nowhere near Canada, but I wish all of you the best of luck getting together and playing! I know all of us down in Chicago had an absolute blast. Heck, some of us got together a second time to finish up some stuff!
The gathering in Chicago was fun. If you need any help, ask.
My advice is to try to get a feel of how many people you might have and try to get a good location. On the old boards, we also arranged for transportation.
A good rule is not to try to do everything yourself.
Good luck from your fellow EN Boarders in the Windy City!!
I also haven't met anyone in real life that I know (or semi-know) on the internet. I'm not too far, and i'd like to participate as well. (if the wife will let me . . . damn priestesses of lovitar . . . and their whips)
