So, as mentioned previously, I am working on arranging for a little get-together here in the Twin Cities for as many of us local MMO enthusiasts I can round up.
I have reserved a small event room (Longford boardroom, max occup. 14) at the Minneapolis Marriott West in St. Louis Park (169 and 394, essentially) for June 2nd, 2pm-6pm, which includes the convenient ability to wander back and forth between Kip’s Authentic Irish Pub and Restaurant as each of us sees fit. Should be a decent venue, I would think. (It’s not finalized just yet, so if there is a huge outcry about schedules, etc., no problem making changes over the next day or so.)
I would like to make this a semi-regular event if possible. No agenda per se, just get together and discuss games in general, and presumably MMOs in particular. Any and all interested are welcome… I’ll spring for a round or two, as well.
So… anyone interested?
Update: Per Brent’s suggestion from the comments, I have created a group for MMMOGIG at meetup.com for the gathering. Feel free to stop in and RSVP, take the little test poll I’ve set up, etc.

Sounds good, my thanks to both of you… I’ve been spread pretty thin myself the past few weeks.
Also, spread the word… if you know anyone you think might be interested, please let them know as well. Thanks!

BTW, I highly recommend you set something up at: meetup.com
That seems to help this sort of thing.

I hope you can make it to the next one. Your project looks intriguing, and would make for good discussions, I should think.

There have been a few additional RSVPs (3 as of this morning, plus Cuppycake and myself) over at the meetup site… now I’m starting to get worried that the room might be too _small_. LOL.

That’s even more worrisome. “Lessee, the most expensive drink is… times number of people… (faints dead away)”

Excellent, it will be nice to meet you.
The room reservation was finally confirmed yesterday, btw, so we do have a definite place to meet… where it goes from there? Who knows… see you there!
