Well, to hell with flying. I'm driving. It will cost more and will be a long haul, but it will be worth it not to be probed in the dirt box by the TSA, getting crammed into coach next to a squalling brat, and having to hope that the weird burning smell is not a fuel leak but the cushion of the seat two rows up melting under the assault of an obese dude's ass, as the White Castle Crave Case he had the nite before begins to percolate in his colon.
Have I mentioned that I really hate to fly?

So is this a strictly rent- a- hotel room thing?
We aren't on a campground this time, right?

There are campground options in the city. Very very soon there will be a google map that you can access that has several campgrounds listed. You will be able to check out how close they are to the activities. There is also a hostel very very close. So you have inexpensive options.

Poutine anyone?

None of my Canadian friends have ever heard of it.
They say "Oh that must be FRENCH :yucky:

"

I want some.

Portland

Currently working out group bookings with a few hotels all within walking distance of the Saturday night venue, and with luck, the Saturday morning venue as well.

Working on it...right now, the tent camping selections are very scarce...there are RV parks all over it seems and I am trying to ascertain which of these permit tent camping...

Surely you can at least get a country ham biscuit? I'd die if I didn't have access to a good biscuit. Emphasis on good, because the good ones (Cracker barrel, Hardee's, Mrs. Winners, grandma) are hard to come by

You must come to Portland.

Next year, I say Orlando. I know that locally they have hosted national competitions for steel plate, Titusville had something big as well, and they're getting ready to have the IPSC Nationals down here too.

Plus, we have Disney and Universal for the kiddies.

Alright. So it's a little warm. However, we have crazy concealed carry reciprocity laws, tons of places to shoot, we'll let you hunt gator and boar, plus all the other random stuff that makes us alright.

But yeah. August would be pretty damn hot.

You forgot to mention Hurricane season. :unsure:

I will go to Orlando again. In December or something. I have friends there.

My poor spouse. She would have to attend conferences annually to maintain her certifications and such and every year they were held in Orlando or Atlanta...except one. One year it was Chicago and oh how she was looking forward to an opportunity to visit the Chicago Art Institute and museums and all that wonderful stuff.

The morning she was to leave, she was so happy...then she turned on the news just in time to see the second plane hit the World Trade Center.

The next year it was back to Atlanta. She never wants to see either again.

+1,000.
Don't get me wrong, I was born in Clearwater, love the state and still have kin down there, but 20+ years of living in Minnesota has definitely turned me off to visiting during Summer months.
Unless you Southrons promise to hold the 2014 LGC meeting near Duluth.
In January.

I'll help set up a nice biathalon course and after we can all sauna and roll around in the snow naked.

I don't even know. I am some random face in a crowd in the background. It's one where the murder scene is in a small park block downtown. I watch the show every week, and never was able to find myself. For all I know I could be blocked from camera view by something.

The episode of Portlandia, on the other hand, I'm right next to one of the stars. :-D (Season 2, episode 8, the "soccer" skit, right next to Carrie. Also was an extra for the "allergy pride parade" skit, plus another skit that I don't even know which it was, but again, random face in the background, couldn't find myself.)

I enjoy the heck out of both of those shows! My wife wants to travel to Portland when we move to the West Coast in August-- read an article stating there is a pretty active firearm enthusiast community there; can't wait to visit.

Will we be hearing more about the annual meeting soon, as in, time to pony up some dough if you want a hotel room, or whatever?
