OK, folks. I was thinking (supposedly about my WIP, but we won't go there) and I thought:

How cool would it be to have a get-together with all my brothers and sisters from Absolute Write.

So I figured I'd bring it up to

1- See if anybody else was partial to the idea. (Some of the personalities displayed here might be too much for some in the flesh.)

2- Try to figure out when. What time of year would be best etc. (Some of us need to know a timeframe beforehand so we can inform our parole officers.)

3- Try to figure out where. What would be a good location for a bunch like this to physically meet at (I mean, can they handle it? What type of disaster plan do they have? And should FEMA be notified beforehand or should we just let them take their chances and respond as best they can)

4- If there are any Writer's Conventions or Book Expos we can coincide this possible meet with. This way we all have something to do during the day and something to talk about at night. Plus it would make the trip even more valuable and cost-effective. Hell, some might even be able to write the whole thing off on their taxes. (Plus, I need to have something to tell the judge when I ask to have my ankle home detention bracelet removed. I sure can't tell him I'm going to go to a massive Partay!)

So, would anybody be interested? Any ideas, if so?

Maybe we should ask Jenna. She's our fearless leader.

I would certainly consider attending. I mean, would that be cool or what?

I think it would be a wonderful get-together. I've previously attended get-togethers put together by a chat network I used to chat/work on, and they were always fun and interesting.

Oh, this is depressing!

Could you all come down to Australia?

Now that would be cool, an AW get-together in the land down under!

I've always thought an AW writer's retreat would be awesome.

I'm game. Like CC said, we could have our own retreat. Jenna, Uncle Jim, and various other accomplished folks around here could teach seminars, with an fee to cover the costs. Hey! It could work!

I wonder if Ray would teach a class on how to be a ladies man???

Anyway, retreat or no, I'd be up for a trip to hang out with my AW pals.

He'd be teaching it in the hot tub in his room. Everyone who's been to Ray's HOL thread, in his hotel room at the same time.... the mini bar would last about an eighth of a second.

That's be in the Atlantic off the coast of Africa, wouldn't it?


If it's on dry land, count me in. I'd love to meet you people.

Lol, why don't you find a place midway between Australia and Mexico?

Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific...?

No doubt, I'd be there. How fun.

And if someone's doing tattoos or piercings, I'm even MORE there.

Not me. I don't have a square inch of uninked flesh left to spare for AW. Oh. Perhaps I should have left that detail as a surprise for the meet and greet.

I think it'd be cool to actually meet the people from here. (Well, most of you at least :))

I wonder if it would be really feasible though. I wonder what the Big J thinks about it? She's the organizational whiz, isn't she? As well as the de facto chief of this world.
