I voted for Chicago, because I have friends in Michigan that I could stay with, but NY would work for me as well. I'm basically halfway between both of them.

Hi I just wanted to say that I think this is a great idea, as long as it's done in a public place and members will feel safe travelling to wherever the meet up will be held. It's a shame because, I live in the UK so it wouldn't be possible for me. Have fun though <3 Thanks for the support!

I have to go for Chicago b/c it would be the closest for me at this point. It all just depends on the date really.

I think Chicago would be a great location because it's in the middle of the country.

I am very interested in this. None of my friends watch Buffy or Angel so i don't really have anyone to talk to about it, which is why I joined slayalive!!! My brother has just recently finished watching Buffy/Angel but he's not really hardcore into the series as most of us here are. He liked the show but still, anyway I'm from Scotland, Edinburgh so obviously I can't go but if I'm ever on holiday near any of these places I suppose I could swing by....OR anyone else from Edinburgh could meet up. I think it would be fantastic, if anyone esle is interested ot think it'd be fun to have a Scotland meet up for Buffy/Angel fans send me a pm and we can get this rolling!!

I voted for California - because I live in British Columbia - due North of California and South-east of Alaska - hi Icee.
Chicago does sound the best bet for the majority of people.

Excuse me, but the person who said everything happens in either CA or NY or dead wrong. Never, and I mean never, is there a convention in the NY area when it comes to things like, VIP's, ComicCon, signings. These major events ALWAYS occur in CA and I say it's time to think of the fans on the ahem, "right" coast.
Chicago is too far to drive from NY or Boston but what about OHIO. That's not a bad drive from NY or CT. If on the other hand what about having two (2) conventions in different locations perhaps six months apart. Is there even a remote possibility two conventions can occur six months apart or something along those lines?

There's always a possibility but we'd need someone already in Ohio to come up with a venue. Also, I'd guess probably at least half of our members will be in school, so a meetup in the winter wouldn't have as much of a crowd as one in the summer (though I know not all schools have Summer VayK).

NYC has a number of con's that I've been to, including the Big Apple ComicCon. Might not be SDCC, but NYC def has some stuff going on.
I'd like it to be in NYC too, but Chicago is probably going to be the best choice since it's more in the middle.

What 'bout Nebraska? That'd be fun!
And easy to get to! Well, for me anyways. Lol.
Plus, it's in the middle.

Well just like Tim, I'm all for hearing other suggestions but everyone needs to realize that if we go somewhere other than Chicago, somebody is going to need to be available to do all of the arranging as far as staking out a spot, putting this together, reservations, etc.
I don't care about hearing other locations but if we're being realistic, once we pick a spot then the next step has to involve somebody being the person in charge of pulling it all together.

Exactly. You explained it more intelligently than I did. LOL, thanks.

I live in Ontario, Canada and would DEFINITELY be willing to make the drive down to either NYC or Chicago. Preferably Chicago because I've never been there. But if you make it any of the two, I can already guarantee you that I will bring a carload of Buffy fans from my area with me. I'll evem buy them their tickets as a birthday or Christmas present if I have to!
