Status: offline 		If I can get the go-ahead from David Heath, and we can get a Matrix fan gathering together in Charleston, West Virginia, say in spring 2002, how many of you guys can come? Wild Bill said earlier that he would definitely appear, so how about it? [ August 20, 2001: Message edited by: KG Erwin ]

Yeager Airport is only about 4 miles from downtown. Kilroy, I don't golf, my some of my buddies do, and I do know there are some nice courses within a 20 mile radius of Charleston.

Considering the idea, you have complete support from Eclipse Graphics for web based graphics and 3-D animations (If you decide to get a website up about the event). Of course, our services would be of no charge as this is in intrest to us over here at Eclipse Graphics :) If you drop me an email, I will do my best to help and support a convention meetin!

Status: offline 		If you don't mind having a person who loves to play the game but is not too computer literate there, you will see me. (That means if your water ever goes down from your recent floods). I'd like to meet the people who put this together and fellow gamers also. Also, it may give me a chance to make sarcastic remarks to all of my pbem friends that keep beating me up in the battles I play them. All I can say is that on this forum is one of the best world communities I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. Just furnish the date and times. Check WB's luggage for 2 pd's.

Status: offline 		My response:"Well, it seems that there HAS been some interest in holding a fan convention in Charleston WV. I've gotten a commitment from Wild Bill, and it seems to me that having a gathering in an easily accessible eastern location without the urban sprawl that exists on the East Coast would be a service to the fans, and would decrease the costs of such a venture. Yeager Airport is within 4 miles of downtown, and we have the choice of venues for the gathering (I'm currently favoring Embassy Suites). What's your objection to Charleston, MacCready? It seems to me to be a perfect location. I see this as only a one or two-day event, and it doesn't have to be overly elaborate. If you have a better idea, please let us know."

So, what a nice excuse :D Like flying to San Diego to see the Pac Navy there... well, I mean, I had to go to California and I picked a random airport... well, you know what I mean :D Salut,

I like your idea of a chat session for sharing ideas. This is why I wanted to start planning at least six-seven months in advance. I'm still waiting on some word from David Heath to see if he will give it his blessing (and support). Wild Bill, God love him, is in. As far as a website to promote this, I hope we can get a page on this site. I'm open to any suggestions from those who expressed an interest in attending.

Status: offline 		How about visiting the chat room at 8 pm EST Friday Aug 3? I can only register in as guest, since my forum name apparently keeps getting rejected as "invalid user name". I'll try to set up the room as "Convention", and go from there. I'll test that right now. If anyone cares to, help me out to see if it works.
