So I know there are a few of us from Chicago or the close by Midwestern area and I know that most things in our RL's slow down come Jan/Feb (and we could get a lower price on a room rental, cause we ain't doing it at my house), so I'm putting out a feeler to see who'd be up for our own little EVE Fest here in Chicago, come early 2009. I really wanted to go to Iceland in Nov., but money is a little tight, as I'm sure is the case for more than a few people currently.
So here's the deal. I'm not taking any money, reservation, or what not right now, I just want to know who would actually think about showing up, and since we'd more than likely need a room (not with beds & candle lights) at some hotel or reception hall/conference center, or maybe just a bar, what would you like to do.
1.Post here if you would be up for a gathering. Email me at [email protected] as well if you want.
2.Tell me what you'd be interesting in doing at the event; a.Meet & greet with a bar b.hook up an internet connection and do some in game competition c.both A & B and why don't you try to get some EVE celebrities like Tony Gonzales, Winterblink, or some one from CCP to show up. d.randomly rove around the city and Goonswarm anybody playing WoW at an internet cafe
3.Feel free to suggest anything I haven't thought of. Defending the Caldari right to the Black Rise Please resize your signature to the maximum allowed file size of 400 x 120 pixels and 24000 bytes. Navigator All Hail the State! |

I'd like to go to a bar that isn't too too loud. Hooking up somewhere is not really interesting. I don't have a laptop and the logistics for someone else to organize renting computer for an unknown amount of guests is too much, plus cost. Celebrities? If they are in the area and want to come then cool, but heh. I rather see people shoot for something small like a pup meet they have in England at times. Renting a room seems too much. This is all assuming there are enough people to go see.
Now if CCP made a US version of fanfest then it might be different. But that would likely be in Atlanta. Still I wouldn't go to be in a tourney or anything. I'd go to meet the people being the avatars.

id be up for it, the meet and greet at a pub would be cool, there used to be a cheapish internet cafe i used to go to in the burbs but its died since then. maybe see about a group discount at a gaming cafe, no worrys about logistics then. But i allways bring my drinking glove with me whenever im downtown :D |

I would love to go something like that. I do agree that it wuld preferable to me that we don't need to have an internet connection to play Eve. Since I don't drink alcohol anywhere is fine for me. I guess I am the Designated Pilot.

Interesting but don't know if I will be able to attend since I'm changing jobs this week and don't have any idea what finances or schedule will be like yet.
One thing you might want to consider is having something for our "other half" to do for those of us that will have to travel from farther out while we are talking eve. The drive from Galesburg is 3 1/2 hours just to get to Plainfield (I was visiting a friend a couple months ago).
Not sure if I would want to drag my gaming system up there for a LAN party but would love to play.
I don't know the area up there that well so I don't have any suggestions right now but will do abit of brainstorming.

Alright between forum posts, in game and real life convo's I've had it looks like so far we have at least a dozen people.
Best thing to do is keep gettig the word out to anybody you know that is within 100 (maybe 150 miles of Chicago), I'm sure by the end of Nov. beginning of Dec. we easily have 2 dozen or more.

Had a few people ask about bringing their girlfriends or wives, and maybe setting up a Sisters of Eve type function for them.
Post up here or email me if you have a lady friend you might be bringing with.

I'm down. We just had a corp meet in Vegas last month. 9 of us went including 2 that came from the UK. It was a blast! I'm in Joliet so it wouldn't be far at all. Harrah's casino here has a hotel.

I have family in Braidwood and am up in the Joliet area just about every month! Sometimes I think the real world is smaller than the EVE world....I mean, you can find people everywhere, but in EVE I can fly for hours without seeing a single ship.

Well if we keep getting under 21's asking about coming, we might have to rent out a Hooters.
Who's up for some wings?

I love the Hooters idea. The only thing is I'd feel bad about guys driving from out of town to go to a suburban location, but it could be an option for sure.

I'm definitely interested! I live around 20 min. from O'hare. A few of my friends will probably be interested too.
maybe someone setup a ingame channel?
BTW: I'm underage so I also have to see what you guys are planning. |
