@Young:

Whatever, as long as it’s before Christmas.

Can you make the first FMGC meeting of the Marshals on Monday at 6 PM in Oshawa?

@Gargantua:

Yes he will!  -or else- …

Well I don’t expect you to fly in for the meeting.

Info sent.  TOP SECRET location.

Great Meeting last night.  BIG THINGS in the works for FMGC.

We are just finalizing and announcement will be made soon.

Hoping for even more participants this year for sure, I will send you some promotion materials when I get them, so you can spread the word states side.

New website being created for the Event.

Should have news after this long weekend.

FMGC’s very own website… Excellent!

Looking forward to it. I need to book my flight soon or else the prices go up.

Why is it double to fly to YYZ compared to IND?  It’s roughly the same distance. :-P

What would be sweet is if we could have pages dedicated to specific games and perhaps talks of times/dates and who will be playing/sign up sheets etc.  I have an old game called civilization (but of course my true love is A and A) and would LOVE to play, it’s best played with 5-6 people.  The day of the event is probably too late but if we could have various pages dedicated to each game/version it should allow for people to get a feel for new games and know in advance who else will be playing and when.

I’m pretty sure we could set up something for that on the FMGCon website pretty easily.

Great idea, I assume that individuals making a long trip and paying for a weekend pass, might think twice about coming if they invision themselves walking around aimlessly. I know that as a first timmer last year, having our game and its participants planned out ahead of time made me feel comfortable about what to expect. Can’t wait to see the website!

Is YYZ Toronto? I told you last year you should fly in to Buffalo. You’ll pay half even when you factor in the rental car which is also double in Canada.

Yes, YYZ is Toronto.

The problem with flying to (anywhere in) Canada is that there are insane Airport charges and taxes added on.  One of the many reasons a lot of Canadians fly out of Buffalo!

The opportunity cost here is time, which equates to money in the sense of vacation time. I would have to take an extra 1.5 - 2 days off of work. With that in mind, Buffalo would be more expensive than Toronto. Damn that math stuff! Plus, direcct flights are nice and last year I was upgraded to first class for free. Woohoo!

@Gargantua:

It would be cheaper for me to fly out of seattle to Buffalo too.  (HALF)

If another party wants to work out a deal, I’m willing to plan flights-meet in buffalo-  and share car/transportation?

Wow, the difference for SFO to BUF isn’t that much. It’s only about 67% - 75%.
