That way I can annoy you all in person

But, no, really, is there another one planned?

Nothing planned yet. The economic downturn has wreaked havoc with a lot of folks. I live paycheck to paycheck myself now and income for travel and leisure just doesn't exist.

I know that February 2010 will be a big event with the GU returning to Chicago where Paul will be a featured guest at the Love is Murder convention. I think I can stash away money for that trip and have enough to party like a rock star.

Before then we will work on a convenient venue for mid 2009. It has been a couple of years since I have seen my friends and to be honest, I don't want it to be much longer.

I will look around for some nice cities/towns that would be fun to hang out and raise some hell and start planning. I would love to go to Dallas and party it up...that seems like a great city. Las Vegas in the off-season has been thrown around. A lot of cheap resorts there if the even is held during the week not to mention shows, dining, shopping and gambling. New Jersey itself has also been discussed because it is home of F. Paul Wilson and we can find of lot of hotel/casino deals there as well.

The hotels are never expensive, we don't do 5 star resorts. Our usual requirement is that it has a bar.

As the time draws near for a gathering I will solicit the help of some of the board members to do research and other tasks. If you want to be in on it just shoot me a PM or reply here and when the time is right you'll be called upon.
