Anyways, I finally thought of an amazing idea. This is mainly for anybody in the eastern half of america, so most others need not continue reading.
I thought of an idea for us to actually visit each other without our parents going berzerk. cause let's face it, this doesnt exactly sound normal. "where are you going honey?" "oh, just out to meet some people from the internet who'm ive never met before."
but then it came to me. where do 90% of weird people like us meet each other? conventions! now personally, im not 16 yet, and won't get my liscence until july. so i know we'd have to try and go to a convention after that. im going to start looking around right now. anybody else who might be interested, please say so. also, if you are going to be getting your liscence after mid-july, please say so. that would help narrow my search. id like to get at least 4 people. any less and it might not be worth the trouble. anywho, im off to search the internet. feel free to submit convention's you know about.
People willing to go so far:

thats an interesting idea. but the idea of meeting any of you creeps the hell out of me. eventhough you most likely have more to fear than I do  |

Too bad I live here...I would do it...but I really don't think it would be believeable by my mother that I'm going to a convention even if it was here. Especially for games and what not.

SS, if you come during non-tourist season, you can get tickets damn cheap.  |

plus, it's not likely that a college kid could afford a round-trip ticket to the states.
so, any of those con's looking ok, or should i keep searching? im trying to find one in somewhere that's sort of in the middle of where everybody's coming from. like for now, im trying to find one between vermont and north carolina.

well, it depends on what airline you're taking, as well as where you're flying to.

Out: October 15th
Return: October 17th
Airline: Air Canada
From: London Heathrow
To: Charlotte, NC
Price: £423.
That's the cheapest one, and covers air travel & hotel.
It's very unlikely that I could afford that much, but I guess it all depends on what sort of job I get.
