Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 13:09 Wed 9/6/2017 Just to summarize the places that have been thrown around in any sort of fashion from the previous thread: Atlanta, GA Austin, TX Los Angeles/Orange County, CA Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN New Orleans, LA Phoenix, AZ Richmond, VA San Diego, CA San Francisco, CA Tampa, FL Tucson, AZ Some are unlikely due to lack of local presence (e.g., Atlanta), but left them on the list anyway.
Message jtclockwork beers 21132 º places 554 º 17:19 Wed 9/6/2017 Let's go Richmond! That's probably the only one I could make right now. Off chance I could make Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Message BuckeyeBoy P beers 17589 º places 275 º 23:01 Wed 9/6/2017 I am exited to see the proposals. Now that I know how much work goes into a gathering. Good luck folks

Message JStax P beers 10650 º places 821 º 03:47 Thu 9/7/2017 They all sound like they could be great cities for it, but I'm holding out hope for Richmond, or someplace else less than 8 hours driving from me.
Message TheHOFF43 P beers 2045 º places 169 º 07:26 Thu 9/7/2017 Man...one of those things is not like the other.
Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 08:36 Thu 9/7/2017 Iowa City proposal is forthcoming
Message Drake P admin beers 21771 º places 1252 º 15:14 Fri 9/8/2017 Minneapolis or RVA please!

Message dmac beers 6644 º places 35 º 16:43 Fri 9/8/2017 I'd be down for Richmond fo sho.
Message Drake P admin beers 21771 º places 1252 º 12:22 Sat 9/9/2017 Lots of people like the RIchmond idea, but it would have to be planned by out of towners. I'm now 1000 miles away, not 60. Tia, Kinz and Butters are there (all awesome people) but they have busy lives. Good idea, and I'll plan one if I'm ever back there, but it looks like this is not the year. DC on the other hand...
Message Travlr beers 33915 º places 4598 º 19:34 Sat 9/9/2017 ^^^ DC in the winter is bad news. Winter gatherings should be somewhere with warm or at least tolerable winter weather
