Being stateside and still relatively young, it's awesome to hear to there's definitely some interest in a US Live (possibly multiple). I know this site has a strong European membership, but I'm actually a little surprised US Lives haven't occurred more often than like, once every two years or so.
As I've mentioned previously, I'm hoping to drive out to the Midwest and back next year, which sounds like the place to be (obviously will depend on work schedule and if I could get time off). I haven't exactly taken the time to sit down and organize/research everything (will need to very soon), but it'd likely to be a solo trip for me. And I'll be honest, driving to Chicago and back to Boston for my first major solo trip does sound a little intimidating. I've done plenty of long distance driving, but certainly not at a scale like this. I'm prepared to do it though.
So that being said, the idea of a big goon bus does sound great. It encourages everyone to travel together and could make the journey far less exhausting and boring for some people. I already kinda accepted that I might just end up driving but this caught my attention. So definitely worth looking into.
It's great to see all these thoughts poured together on how to make improvements. For me though, as someone who's never been to a Live and, within the past year or so, really gained an interest in making an effort to meet some of you folks, I'm now really looking forward to hopefully attending one of these. Even just chilling and dicking around sounds like a good time (
@Snoo, you mentioned some "21+" stuff... I'm down lol).
