TONMOCON III

[WhiteKiboko]

I'll put on the kid gloves....

I do think the northern corners are the best bet...

 

[esquid]

I'm still voting for the northeast. That's the only way I'd be able to go.

 

[Lime]

I would very much like Miami because it's close to me and there is tons of stuff to do in the area.

 

[Steve O'Shea]

.... I rather like the idea of Monterey Bay, but I'm a tad biased (I want to do some research there [MBARI]). A wonderful place!

Regardless, I'll be wherever it is, as long as it isn't in NZ (bad weather)! Can we have it tomorrow somewhere, please ....

 

[esquid]

The weather is beautiful here right now and lobster is about $7/lb.

 

[gholland]

Ah... planning travels around lobster prices instead of gas prices! I like it!

 

[chrono_war01]

If I would choose, I'd say a little closer, like Asia. But that would be mean to the rest of you lot.

So you guys decide...I'll be here checking my airline prices.

 

[tonmo]

This is gonna be a tough call! Probably a good idea to start the planning process now; for the others we started about a year in advance... gotta get Erich back online!

Summer '09 seems to be the way to go. June, July or August?

 

[sorseress]

The Southeast is definitely out, since the last one was in Sarasota. I'm staying neutral on the rest, I love Seattle, love San Francisco. love Monterrey, don't love Washington D.C, or Baltimore, (too hot and humid) haven't been in Galveston in years, but it's pretty miserable in the summer too,... Having someone in Seattle able to help put things together would be a huge plus, and of course, we have several members in the Bay area, so that would be a selling point. How about it Roy? Any tours of your lab possible? Thales, would you be able to work something out at the Steinhart?

Yeah I agree with June, 2009. Wherever it is.

 

[erich orser]

Well, I've finally soldiered through the (latest) revision on the novel, so I guess the time is right to get back into things here. Sorry to be absent so long!

You know, Rebecca and I are looking at moving to Seattle in the future, so I could conceivably get things rolling in the Pacific Northwest... lotta GPOs up that way... in fact just about everything beneath the waves grows a bit bigger up that way...

 

[Thales]

I am sure it possible. I'll be able to find out more in October after the opening!
Paradox and Mucktopus also lives here, at least sometimes!

 

[OB]

I'm with the Mid Cal people... June is nice, July is achievable, as long as it isn't too near to the 22nd, as I'll be in a boat somewhere south east of Japan watching this century's longest eclipse at that time, and August would be fun if it would include the 2nd, being my b'day

 

[gjbarord]

I know a few people at the Seattle Aquarium. I could begin contacting them if need be. Additionally, the public transportation system in Seattle is wonderful. I was there this past May and June and the temperatures were in the 70s. Not too shabby.

I cannot wait to go again, wherever it is.

The Pacific coast would work well for us, also.
