Yeah, the idea has been thrown around a few times.

But it always cme down to where? I still say Montreal.
Everybody seems to be cool about it if it's in there town. See, there is that money issue again. :/

You mean like everybody hops a bus to Brazil and crashes at Treetog's place, and we sway from side to side, holding up BIC lighters as he starts up Photoshop?

Chris....sounds like a plan...

@ Chris

Honolulu, Hawaii!! That would be awesome, to see all you guys in person... Each wearing a nametag with their Screen name.

Or something like that... I dunno.

I vote for Vegas.Great for conventions.

That really would be cool

I second the the trip to Las Vegas

I'd like it somewhere in the outback of Australia between the camels and spinifex.

I could go to Montreal its not so far from Ottawa. The money thing you just ask the members to pich in just to rent the place. I dont know how much that would cost but im sure its not that much. Vegas if I could afford it I would go but not in my student years lol.

It would be best held somewhere neutral where no skinners live.
Anyone here from the South pole?

lmao at a few people by now...

a wincusto convention would be really cool, except for the fact that people live all over on this crazy site.

...

UI want it to be online and we all have our 3D avatars representing us in a 3D world.

There will be music, refreshments (for the avatars) and places to go.

real time IM, guess speakers and free give aways.

MadIce remembers organizing the European version 2 years ago. KweeKwee from France (actually from Texas but she lived in France for 9 years) and her husband Pierre (very nice guy, but he wasn't a skinner) helped us to organize a weekend convention.

Location: The center of Brussels (Belgium). Classical surroundings. The works. It was fantastic. There were a lot of people interested. And about 20 finally decided to go.

We arrived on saterday at 2 in the afternoon and left on sunday evening about 8-ish.

We had a lot of fun. It turned out all of us were Belgian beer lovers. That was surprising because more than half was from France! The advantage of being in Belgium is that there is a lot of that substance in the neighbourhoud. The only time we didn't drink beer was before breakfast. Which was a blurry time boundary, because we went to bed very late.

The location was classic. We had luxury appartments (first class) with a wonderfull view. In front of us was a very large park with a beautifull Cathedral in the distance (one of the largest in the world). It looked like a fairytail. We spared no expenses.

The restaurants were fabulaous. In fact the first day we saw at least 3 of those. From fresh fish to roasted meat. We did it all.

The subjects and presentations were carefully planned between all the above festivities. The favourtite subjects were ICQ (prepared by KweeKwee) and the new features of WindowBlinds and SkinStudio (researched by me) to name just a few of our well balanced schedule. Pierre was the man of the speaches. There was no way of stopping that guy. When he tried the fourth we gave him another Kwak beer.

It was Pierre (we think) who wondered whether the other 17 skinners came a weekend later or so. We never saw them, but we had a great time!
