Regional AW groups

Note from Foinah : I merged these two threads. This is also Maryn's Map for regional AWers.
The continuity (chronological order) may look a bit wonky - everything is still here

***************
I have been keeping current with the possibility of an AW retreat and am very excited about the possibility!

Along with being a novice writer, I am also a beginning photographer and love it! I frequent flickr.com and that is where our photo club gallaries our pics. There are people in flickr from all over the world. It's amazing! The reason I bring up flickr is that besides all the great forums that they have, they also have groups of flickrites (?) that meet together. Many are just one flickr junky finding more in their local area and getting together. So, I was wondering....................is there a way that we could start our own little AW get-togethers by using this AW forum?

I live in Mississippi and I've often wondered how many AWers live close by and what would be the possibility of starting a local AW writing group?

Anyone else interested in stuff like that?

Also, if there were a full scale AW retreat somewhere, local groups could work together for transportation and such.

Maryn's post : page 5, post #106

I started a list of the people who'd given their location in the Regional AW Groups thread. Then I started adding the locations of people who have it in their profiles or mention it in a thread I happened to see.

Unfortunately, there are many boards I skip. I don't want to leave anybody out, so if you want to be on the list and are not yet listed, post your location here in this thread.

My intent is to edit, adding new names and locations and correcting my inevitable mistakes, a few times a week. In theory, you'll find a very recent version of the list as this first message, rather than having to wade through replies which haven't yet been added.

This should make it easier to find AWers who live nearby and arrange to meet.

This list includes all AW members who have said where they live on any public message. Afterthought: Although I've added some, how about making a point of not adding anyone but yourself unless you're positive the person you're adding has said where they live in a public message? Some people may have shared their locations with individuals they trusted but not want themselves included on this list, and I'd like to respect everybody's privacy.
