HWDC Mid Point Meet Up

[toddjcoley]

End of the day let's sort  out where the most people can get to. To me it looks ny but we need mega there either way as he has done so much for us. :))

[Megatron1505]

Thanks Todd, but it doesn't really need me to be there. If it ends up in NY or Tokyo I will be there, if it ends up in SF I will try my hardest to be there.

[Megatron1505]

Also, just to add, please don't vote if you have no intention of going. I have this horrible image of struggling my ass off for the next year to get to SF because 25 people wanted to meet there, only to find there are actually 6 folks who made it.

I apologize in advance if this is posted somewhere and I am missing it, but what timeframe are we looking at? Like tentative dates, or even the month would help. That's as (if not more) important than the city for me.

[Megatron1505]

End of July/ beginning of August 2014. Almost exactly a year away.

I'm getting it in peoples heads this early as I assume that some of you guys are like me, i.e not rich, have families and real world jobs and responsibilities etc….

NYC. can get real hot in July and August. Too hot to be on the streets of NYC. at this time.

Not that I'm in the competition, but I wanted to interject for y'all's consideration that San Francisco is fairly cool in August. It would be a great choice weather wise for a summer heavyweight denim meetup.

I picked NYC, but I'm slightly biased living here and all.

Thanks for this, Mega. You definitely have the right idea by starting early. I really didn't want to vote for SF because I thought that would be selfish living in California; but twin is right about NYC in late July/August. It's hot. And it's humid. I will still hold off on voting, and leave the verdict to those who are actually competing in the HWDC (I rotate too many pairs to enter; love my MBBs, though!), but my entirely unofficial vote would be SF, as well.

I suggest adding this to the top post in bold perhaps. Will stop people voting first (like me )

[Finn666]

is there a reason for the chosen dates (July/August)?
sry to ask, but just want to know if it's just the case cuz those dates are good for you or if you guys have anything special planed or if there's something special happening in those months?

if not an earlier, not so hot date/month would be cool as well, eh?

[Megatron1505]

People (me included) have kids, this is the summer holidays.

[Finn666]

ahaaaaaaa…now that totally makes sense

[summ3rhays]

NY or SF works about the same for me.  SF is close enough to drive, but my wife has never been to NY.  Win win.  It sucks that it's so spendy coming from the UK.  That is crazy expensive!

[toddjcoley]

When do you think a date will be locked in?

[Megatron1505]

Flights are not announced for another month or two, but it will almost certainly be the 8th and 9th of August 2014.

And by the way, the poll is now closed, the venue is…..

NEW YORK CITY

You're allowed back here, Gav?

[Megatron1505]

I'll be in disguise 

You coming RP, sure I owe you a beer.

[derivative666]

Oh Fuck there goes the city

[Megatron1505]

I apologise in advance for any and all damages
