[muppetcow]

Howdy, all. Us vegwebbers were planning a get-together in Atlanta this June... http://www.geocities.com/freakshowalex/

Even though we don't really know any of you yet, we'd love if if you could attend.

[spud]

I wish I was in the US, it sounds like fun.

[1vegan]

Yep, sounds fun.

I'm not in America either... :(

[That Alpaca Guy]

Wrong side of the world for be too, but it looks good.

[Erin_S2S]

Good job muppet! Keep the gathering alive and well!

[scareyvegan]

if anyone is seriously 100% interested in going, let us know so that we can bump up the # of hotel rooms we have reserved

ps, looks like we should be able to call and reserve our rooms in about 2 days, but ill post when its all ready

I see that Soul Vegetarian is on the list for dinner. Yummy! We have 2 here in Cleveland and they are absolutely wonderful!

[MyOwnPath]

Hey, you know, for one meal, everyone coulld pitch in, we could get a buch of groceries and cook ourselves! I'd be willing to set up a buffet or something for everyone if someone (Kathym :)) Lets me use their kitchen!

What do ya'll say?

[terrafae]

Cook ourselves? But wouldn't that be cannibalistic? I'd be happy to whip something else up though! :D

[inkie]

Sounds like fun. Are there going to be cinnamon rolls for dessert? :D

[scareyvegan]

i believe we are doing a picnic for one meal...
so that would be everyone pitching in in the food department
im bringing food already cooked though
im bringing vegan jambalaya and an assortment of vegan desserts

sounds like fun, there have been mumbles of a VB gathering for ages. unfortunately i wouldn't be able to make it, it's just a bit too far for me (i'm in Ontario Canada)

[Seadolphin]

sounds like fun, but I doubt I'll have the funds for it unfortunately.

[Michael]

I'm going to move this to the Community Assistance forum and stick it. I know there is a list over at VW on who's going, can someone paste it here? Also, we were starting to talk about getting together in Ohio at an amusement park sometime this summer. So if anyone is interested in that or in the area they're more than welcome to join us.

[with_open_eyes]

wow - sounds great!
hope it all goes well :)
i would come but i'm on the other side of the ocean though.

[scareyvegan]

well all the info is on that website that muppetcow posted when she started this thread (although it does need a bit of updating)

also theres now a yahoo group too
its called VegGathering
so you could subscribe to that if youre interested

just curious... why ohio for the VB thing?

Caroline

[Michael]

Cause that's where Thalia is. :D

I mean cause it's a fairly central location and there's an awesome amusement park there.

[terrafae]

Cedar Point?! It's only the BEST amusement park EVER! I used to go when I lived in MI. If you ever see those rollar coaster shows on Discovery channel, over half the rides are THERE! ...hm. now I want to go "coastering"! :) I'm bummed I didn't get to ride Excaliber before I moved (it broke 10 world records don't you know!)

[scareyvegan]

kids, its time to start registering for rooms in atlanta
if youre interested in going please get on the veggathering yahoo list
or post about your interest
im gonna see if the website can get updated tonight

Caroline

[vegcat]

i wish i could go; i'd love to meet all of you! but i won't have the $$ to attend :( maybe the next one though.

[muppetcow]

Scarey--we have to reserve/pay for our rooms at least a month in advance, right?

I've got a suite reserved all for my lonesome, so if someone is looking for a roomie...I don't bite, I swear.

[scareyvegan]

you dont need a full month...
but the sooner you do it the better...
because we need to have at least 10 rooms reserved a month in advance
also the sooner you do it, the sooner ill have a better idea if i need to book more rooms or not

so book already!!!!
remember you only need to pay a deposit of 1 nights room + tax
so 90 bucks

Caroline

[kathym]

Whoa Whoeee! I just posted in Yvette's thread that I've received flight reservations from vegachick and Happy, so start making them now if you can, they're cheaper the earlier in advance that you make them. Is it June yet?:cry:

[scareyvegan]

theyre gonna be the same price til whenever as long as 10 rooms are reserved by the 31st of this month

im actually in no shape to be posting right now
so thats all ill say
Caroline

[muppetcow]

I will have my plane tix and my room reserved in about a week and I'll post on here when I've done both.

It's getting closer--I'm way excited!
