East Coast ShireCon

[Kaiser Los III]

After discussion with the Duchess of Kildare, two things have been determined, to wit:1) That the Duchess of Kildare has never been to New York, a situation which we her countrymen can hardly allow to continue, and2) That if we go to New York, we can pester the United Nations to grant us membership.

[Delphi]

Anticans... mmm... let me know what's going on and when you plan to do this, if I can steal away for a weekend from DC perhaps I can come back up, tell my parents I'm visiting *snickers*. If you had it in DC... well that'd kick-ass for me, but this is a ShireCon, not a LetsSeeDelphiCon.

[Kaiser Los III]

When do you go down to DC? Both Gryphon and I start college early, so if you start it late an extra trip up might not be necessary.

[Delphi]

I move down August 27th. End work here August 19th. So I've got a week to pack/mess around (more the former but I'll have time for the latter).

[Hypatia Agnesi]

I will be moving into my dorm the 17th or 18th of September, so that weekend is out. After that, I will definitely be busy the weekend of October 21st-23rd, as I will be turning 21 on the 20th, and I plan to get drunk with my best friend.Just about any other weekend works for me, as long as I know ahead of time. I can probably miss one day of class, either a Friday or Monday, but absolutely not both.My only other real comment is that I really want to get pictures of us picketing the UN for recgnition. That would be great. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

[Kaiser Los III]

There seems to have been some demand for it. We need a time and a location.Gryphon will be in the East starting August 19; I will be there starting August 27. Renee says she might be willing to fly east in September or early October, so if we can find a date during that time period that works for everyone, so much the better.School is going to be an issue with timing. I can take maybe one or two days off, but any more and they'll sic the dogs on me. It HAS to be over a weekend, but it would be great if I could also make it over a break. Do any of the rest of you have a break October 14-19? If not, what do you think about Thanksgiving...obviously not the day, but the rest of the long weekend?As for place...if we hold it New York City, then not only do we get the advantage of being in New York City but we could go out on a field trip one day and say hi to the Anticans, who live a few minutes outside of there. We could also go off to where Bill lives and find him without his parents being any the wiser. Problem is that I don't think any of us live in New York City; we'd have to go to a hostel. DC might be an option if Shy and Rakesh could host us there. My college is right out, because, although I could fit maybe one other person in my dorm, there's nowhere else for anyone to go - Clinton, New York is not big on hotels.So, what I need to know is:Who might come?Who can host if we come to you?What locations are convenient/impossible for everyone?What times are convenient/impossible for everyone?

[AngelGuardian93]

I... *MIGHT* be able to get off work and go as far as DC... but that's a huge if seeing as how I allready took 10 days off this year allready... so myeh. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[Rakesh86]

DC sounds great, but if I need to take a bus to NYC it won't be bad either. I am free almost pretty much any time, as long as you give me some head's up. In terms of accomodations, with Delphi, Shy and me here - we probably could handle almost all of you I would guess.

[Ryan]

I absolutely loathe DC, so if it's held there, I shall wave complacently from bonny old New England.If it's held in NYC, then I might be able to come. I've driven through it a few times before, but have never visited the city.I would've preferred a more northely locale (I despise the heat) but meh, so it goes. Having a girlfriend now also means I dunno what will be going on whenever this is held. We're planning some weekend trips this fall, but no set times, so who knows. With such a busy schedule, i'll have to play it all by ear. Useless art is simply tolerated vandalism. I am a vandal.

[Shyriath]

Hmmmm. Hmm hmmm hmmmmm.DC would be preferable for me, distance-wise, but I imagine there's no particular reason I couldn't come to NYC if that turns out to be the preference. I do kinda like the UN recognition scheme, although I only hope that in the current security climate it doesn't cause them to try to arrest any of us. The problem with determining when I'll be available is that I'm currently unemployed but vigorously looking, so that at any time within the next few months I might suddenly GET employed and have my freedom of time dried up. As of now, I can do it just about anytime, but that may change on very short notice.As for putting people up for a DC trip, that's a bit uncertain for me. I still live with my family, so I have to talk with them about it, and they'll want to know how many people and how long and all that sort of stuff. I could probably convince them to take two, or maybe three people, but I can't promise anything at this point.

[Zirandorthel]

*logs onto Aer Lingus site in a vain attempt to find flights to Washington*It has Washington listed as a destination, but there's no flights going there.. Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

[Zirandorthel]

I'm interested though. If I can find a flight and somewhere to stay for relatively little money, I might just go.. Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

[Rakesh86]

Well in order to get to Washington, internationally, you have two choices when it comes to airports: 1) Washington Dulles (IAD) - its in Northern Virginia 2) Baltimore-Washington (BWI) - just outside Baltimore I could probably pick you up from either of those places. Of course, from personal experience, the cheapest fares will probably come via some other US airport and then you can connect to Reagan National (DCA), which is right in DC.

[Kaiser Los III]

Just be aware this doesn't get you out of coming to Cali, Eoin.

[Imperial Ras Charles]

I'm interested if y'all will have this old Atteran. I'll be back in Philly on 24 August, and will be free for every weekend in September except possibly Labor Day. New York is closer to me distance wise, but I've been on an early American history kick lately and DC would be fun. Either way, I'll try to come.Imperial Ras Charles. (Am I still a citizen of Shireroth?)

[Kaiser Los III]

Are you still spying on us for Attera? If so, I'm afraid we're not going to give you any information; if not, we'd love to have you.

[AngelGuardian93]

There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[Imperial Ras Charles]

No spying. Today's the first day I've even looked at micronations in...well...months.Sorry about my (utterly failed attempt at) espionage earlier this year, btw.

[Kaiser Los III]

Oh, that's okay. We knew from the beginning, but we thought "Ah, it's Ras Charles, it'll be nice to have him around even if he is a spy, might as well let him in". You'll probably be in Kildare now, as Hyperborea was merged into there during the Duchy reorg, but you're welcome to switch Duchies if you find one you like better.If you're still interested in working foreign affairs, talk to Eoin.

[Sebastien Alexandre]

You can always join Halluci as attempt Baronial status

[Imperial Ras Charles]

Actually, I wasn't spying until I'd been here for a week or so. A little bird put me up to it Could I really be a baron?BTW, I love this... . I told a friend the other day that I was applying to seminary, and one of the first things he said was, "What if you become Pope?" Sorry. Random thought.

[Hypatia Agnesi]

Wow, you mean I have another citizen? Yay! *does a little Ryvenna dance*And no, you would not be a baron. Oz is suggesting you move into his soon-to-be barony. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

[AngelGuardian93]

congrats There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[Kaiser Los III]

A whole week? Noseworthy must be losing his touch!And...if we make you a Baron...will you make us all saints when you're Pope?

[Delphi]

Uh oh, I'm afraid what he'll do with that whole infallibility thing.

[Stjepan Veliki]

The chance of me going to DC are nonexistant.Of course the chances of me going anywhere are pretty slim.I'm scared of you guys,btw, I'm back from month of building civil society and civic activism in southeastern europe and getting drunk a lot. SF-SN

[AngelGuardian93]

Aren't those synonymous? There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

[Imperial Ras Charles]

I don't know about saints, but I can give you each a chance driving the Popemobile. And I'll excommunicate the Babkhans.

[Stjepan Veliki]

Yes.Well, mostly. The former contains the latter. SF-SNEdited by: Stjepan Veliki at: 8/8/05 6:59
