Midwest FEST!!!!!
 

Spring is around the corner... and summer fun will follow soon after. There are sooo many fun things to do once the weather permits and the best things include spending time with wonderful friends... so I was thinkin... (aren't ya all scared what comes next?)....

There are many people here at pixies that I would absolutely love to meet... altho those of us who love pixies are spread around the world.. there is a large number of us that reside within the midwest US (or within driving distance to it).

Would anyone be interested in getting together for a Fest? What is a Fest you ask? Simple.. a gathering where those who desire to.. can come meet and get to know fellow pixies. Odds are since once we gather together we aren't gonna want to seperate for a bit.. it would probably be best to get together on a weekend :) Dinner.. dancing.. picnics at the park... all depending on the location that everyone decides on.

Personally, I would be more than willing to go to St. Louis, Kansas City, or even here in the Branson Area... anywhere that there is lots of accomidations... lots of things to do...

so what do you guys & gals think? Anyone interested?

Hmmmm interesting thought.

Count me in sounds like exciting fun!

Waaaaaaaaaaaa!

I wanna come but it's rather far!

But remember, Lixy, by coming through Illinois ... Scarecrow and I were going to wave! :D

Not sure my wife and I can make it either although I would really love meeting all ... okay most ... well ... many ...

Aw, heck, all of ya' :D :D

Very interesting thought. I'd certainly try to make it.

White sands, string bikinis, pina coladas, sun, surf, palm trees... Omaha???

Sorry, I'm just geographically challenged. Okay, make the Heartland the HardLand for a weekend :)

I hope this comes off, I look foreward to meeting my Pixies Friends from the midwest, and even further!

he he...
 

Did I mention the several white sandy beaches loaded with college babes? Or the jet-ski rentals? Or the Ozrks #1 nightclub:
Planet Branson ?

And to sweeten the pot: Mid-week Karoke at many bars, including Austrailian Outback!

Woohoo! :D

Re: he he...
 

O.K. are we misrepresenting? I'm from the Midwest and I don't remember this? O.K . I want the sandy beaches and the college babes. And the jet skis.

Mid week karaoke?;)

Midweek, weekend, whatever...I'll take karaoke anytime! :D

Re: Re: he he...
 

Well......ok, "Planet Branson" is only 2 or 3 years old... used to be "Gutiars and Cadillacs", but in my neck of the world it's #1 for the college crowd. Old fogies like me prefer the local C/W and Oldies bars and such...

I want to come. Maybe I will have to strap Lilith in my beetle and take a road trip.
Hmmmmm
How can I pull this off????
I shall keep trying to figure this one out. :) ;)

Need tons more details..........

TIME?
DATE?

etc...............

but I am DYING to meet you all!

Sounds like one very groovy party! But chances are, something with school or having to get a real job will get in the way for me :p A roadtrip to a party sure seems like it'd be fun...we'll just have to see... count me in as a "maybe!" :)

Well, it looks like there's alot of interest... I'm going to start a poll to try and see what dates are the best for everyone....If we start planning this early..who knows, it might just work!

Count me in. I'm in the Branson/Table Rock Lake area 5 or 9 times each spring/summer. Let me know when and I'll send my uncle to Vegas then we can take over his lake front cabin...

Well to him it's "the cabin" to me it's one hell of a place.

Wayyy Cool... There has been some concern that the more strapped members might not be able to afford to come....but If they have a place to stay....

Woohoo! Even more enticing now. :)

Hey that sounds like fun....Let the partying begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's see if we can firm it up and hopefully I can make it.. How long of a drive is it SS?

score! it's like, yes the idea is fantastic, and yes i would love to meet everyone...

of course problems arise. currently i'm suffering from transportation woes. However i'm like, connected in the hotel scene so i can get some decent, like... 25 bucks a night rooms for people at hotels along i-44 (between springfield and st louis.)

thats only in this great state of misery, however.

i don't know who the offical planning organizers are and who would like to be in attendence. i recommend a survay jobby, each person who wants to attend fills out how many miles they would be willing to drive, if they would be willing to car pool, how long they would stay, if they would need a hotel, how much they were willing to spend, what times would be good for them.. then we can start thinking of location location location.

I love the idea!

peace 2 yall

Vampeyes, It took SS about 16 hrs to get here from Detroit... Not counting the Hotel Stop in Illinois...

NOOOO, only about 13 hours!!!!!!! When I came out by myself with the cats it was only about 13 - 13 1/2 hrs!!!!

ummmm
 

So will someone there have pictures if I cant make it??

I think it should be in Minneapolis (or is that assuming WAY too much??) I could host it here!!! LOL

Damn this sounds like fun!!!

I'm sure there will be plenty of picture taking....;)

only took me 11 hours from KY there...and since I live with SS I'm sure I'll be counted in the number of people gettin together *hint hint and goes to try and talk Silky inta haulin his ass out here for it*

gonna take a whole lotta convincin, woman. better get started.

*offers lotsa Osmond watchin* can be damn persuasive when I wanna be

pfft. up the ante or go gimpless.

okay...I'll need those demands in triplicate, dated, signed, and notarized

i'll call the lawyer first thing monday morn-- uh... afternoon... ish.

Listen to you two, spatin like married folk, mayhaps I'll have a Justice o' th' Peace standin by...

shhhhhh... Murphy.... now Horseman won't want to come. LOL

depending on when it is, I might be able to make it, maybe I can bring my gf up too. Hopefully some of our bi-sexual pixies will make the trip :D

then instead of going to Branson I'd be runnin to D-I-V-O-R-C-E. No thanks Murphy....will pass on the Peace
