Folks,
OK, so the way it looks like it's falling out, the late summer/early fall phase of the year is going to be a bit crammed. I'm making the following proposal to alleviate that problem, and while I'm at it, outlining the proposed structure for the year.
What I'm picturing is two events for politicking and determining who has control of the council and therefore who has the biggest say in any changes to the metaphysics of the Nexus. Those are the two big conventions. Two Track 42 events - one on either end of the year. Two plotted, higher production value events - Lugosicon and a Spring Gathering Ish event. Then assorted other things sprinkled in there, so you can get your fix in the off months.
~January - weekend of the 22nd (TRACK 42 EVENT!!!!! Start Planning Now!!!)
* February - DREAMATION 2011 February 24 - 27
Skipping March to recover from the Holiday Season to DREAMATION period
^^ April - weekend of the 16th (Spring Gathering Style Event - I've got plans brewing. Start collecting the caps off snapple bottles, people. You're gonna need 'em.)
May - Double Exposure Memorial Day BBQ and Open House at our house in White Plains, NY
Skipping June for DEXCON Prep, though we are planning board gaming days at the house that folks will be welcome at. and which will be free, because hey, house.
*July - DEXCON 14 July 6 - 10
~August - weekend of August 20th - I have decided that July/August/September/October is SUPER ambitious. All things considered, I am considering making this event a One-Shot LARP run at a currently undisclosed location. I've been itching to run some one-shot stuff, and this is a good time to slide something cheap and one-day into the schedule.
^^September - weekend of Sept 17 (TRACK 42 EVENT!!!!! Start Planning Now!!!)
**October - weekend of October 22 Lugosicon! Bring your favorite Ritual Master!
^^ indicates events which will be at the Marriot Hanover.
* indicates events which will be at the Hyatt Morristown
