Yep, we were there. He's been going to 'Con since 1997 and I've been going since 1999. Won't be going to the UnofficialCon this year, though. Maybe we'll be able to catch next year's, depending on how things go with his graduation and all next summer.
Are you in Memphis? Or Nashville?

Well I'm up for anything just need to figure out a time/date/place. Oh and for those of you in town. If you're ever the the area of hackscross/winchester costco, come visit me (if you drink and are over 21 years old) in the wine store attached to it (southwind wine and spirits) yes I am the keeper (and seller) of the booze!

Ok everyone in the memphis area that wants to get together, state what time/place is best for your give a couple dates and such and what you'd like for us all to do.
I can pretty much get off any day that I need to so I'm fairly flexible in this, and I say we invade a resturant/bar or a pool hall and just hang out.

I'd be up for coming to Memphis but not until after May 16th. Gotta get my finals out of the way. Any date after that as long as I have at least a weeks notice to let work know is good.

Well, well, well. Didn't realize so many DR-ers lived in the Memphis area!
My finals are over next week (Thank God!)
The last weekend of May I'll be on vacation, so if we want to set something up for during the week, I'm free then. Otherwise, let me know when and I'll see what I can do to be free!

I live in Baton Rouge and Memphis is only 6 hours away. My schedule is flexible and I would love to go maybe in June. Is there a person organizing the get together?

Well, seeing as how I was trying to get something together before, I'd have to say I'm all for Memphis. Not but about 4 hours from there myself. I know a few others that might join me if we can get something set in stone with about a months notice. Jackson, MS has several folks that I know of in the general area.

Hmm not sure its going to be this type of get-to-gether ;) but anyone else have any ideas as what they would like to do as a group? and how long they are interested in this gathering to last? a day, a weekend, a long weekend, a week?

Re: Memphis, TN on 04/30/2006 05:58 PM CDT
A day or two is good. I'm here in memphis so pretty much any time is good, just need a few days notice to free up the time. As for what to do...well we can go to dinner, pool hall, movie, whatever.
I'm probably going to the unofficial con in st. louis so that week in june (23rdish) won't work. I'm also going to my cousin's wedding in st. francisco on the 10th and 11th of june and will probably be going a week early to have fun in cali with my cousins, so that week won't work either. But all of may is pretty much open.

How many of us are legal? Mebbe we can all hit the casinos. Or what if we all planned to meet in Nashville for the Renaissance Festival that's held every weekend in May? I'm not exactly fond of Memphis (can't wait to get out of here) so I'm not exactly sure what types of fun activities are even out there. Isn't there a big BBQ fest in May?
Eric (Kraelyst) will have finals sometime near the end of May and then we're both leaving for medical mission work in Peru until June 7. Any weekend other than that should be ok with us for some type of get together. We're game for just about anything.

Re: Memphis, TN on 05/03/2006 08:34 AM CDT
The Casinos sounds like a good idea to me, now here's the real question, if we are all legal(21 years old), and we all go down to tunica how much are we willing to spend on this little gathering. (gambling money aside) because, I had this idea. if the price is right (if we get enough people) I think it'd be pretty durn slick to be able to head down there in the morning (leaving memphis around 10am-11am) via limo or something that way the entire group (should it not be too large) could ride together and we plan on returning sometime around 10-11pm but thats just my thoughts. They've a ton of things to do at the casinos as far as games, but also bars if you don't feel like gambling persay you can just hang out and drink and such.

If you are new to the area, then let me welcome you to the Weirdness of Memphis Weather. On the days that are 60's in the middle of December, I still carry a coat with me. It's prone to change at any time and you can be quite taken unaware - unless you are an avid Weather Channel watcher - which I am not.
I went to the zoo yesterday with a light jacket to go on a tour (about low 60's then) - by the end of the tour, I was wishing I had brought a thick coat and a pair of mittens.
Of course - the up side is Summer pretty much a guarantee of hot and humid. LOL

I am loving the weather right now. It is finally hot and green again. I live in Oak Ridge Tennessee. I am originally from Hammond Indiana just outside of Chicago. I have been here a little over 8 years now and don't plan on going back. I love the mountains and I do not miss the northern winters.

I'll reawaken this dead topic ;) I'm from the Midsouth more to the eastern part of it though. I live in Corinth, MS which is about 1.5 hrs from Memphis, 1 hr from Florance, 1 hr from Tupelo, and 1 hr from Jackson, TN. I consider my little humble town a almost perfect because it offers all that you need an if it isn't here you don't gotta drive hourS to get to what you need. Unless what you need is a theme park :(
