Blankments Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'd love to go to a meet-up but I'm not sure if Cedar Point or Toronto are in the cards right now financially. However, if I may selfishly propose a spot, my school, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is considered by NASA and other scientific groups to be one of THE best spots to see the upcoming Solar Eclipse. I don't know how doable an August 21 meet-up would be especially in a middle of nowhere town, but hey, I'd like to get in on it, and also, there's a ton of shit happening here around that time because the eclipse is a rare draw to Carbondale. I mean, Ozzy Osbourne's coming lol. If everyone's against this though, I'll probably go next year (or some other time if it's not in the immediate three next months.)

Also amusing -- though understandable -- is everyone usually mispronouncing my full username. (US people usually go for teh-leh-MAH-tchos, rhyming with "nachos") Hide contents It's actually teh-LEH-mah-kohs most people in the US are dumb; I'm a genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Yeah, sorry, but five minutes of 15% more awe isn't enough to motivate me to drive 570 miles to and from. Edited June 19, 2017 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 any actual dates set, or is all this just preliminary right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll iron out any sort of specific date for a CP meetup until relatively close to when we want to do it. It'd be easier to arrange short-term obligations around that than it would be for a Toronto meetup during the film festival. As for Toronto I said before that I plan on being there from September 10th through the 14th. I imagine specific times and places will depend on what movies we decide to see and where everyone lives/is lodged.

Just trying to se if I can even work things out as neither are the closest places for me but they aren't crazy far either, especially Toronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) I think CP is more something that would be nice if we all have the time and means; not something I'd expect people to set aside dates for months in advance like TIFF would be.

Ezen Baklattan Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 If I do go to Toronto, I might go with my girlfriend (she's super awesome) if you're all cool with that. She loves Toronto. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think we should set a date soon. TIFF will have the schedule out soon and its the same rime frame every year. Sooner the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
