WHERE ARE YOU FROM? A POSSIBLE RMN MEET

A few certain staff members (and myself) have recently been contemplating a possible (and currently unofficial) RMN Fest for early next year. For those of you unaware of what this is; Fest(s) are literally real-life meet-ups of members within certain online communities-- a celebration of friendships that transcend mere Website and AIM text, to phrase it quite possibly in the corniest way possible! Hehe.

We haven't actually planned anything out yet, so keep in mind that it's purely discussion at this point. Likewise, as happy as we've been to deliberate; there are unfortunately problems inherent to these kinds of events. Although we all congregate here because of our (seemingly) common interests, our members are both distinctive and regionally separate. I'm making this topic in an effort to alleviate as much of the meticulous planning as I can; in an open, straight-forward message to the member-base.

So I suppose the thread is essentially three-fold:
1.) Where do you you live? Is it in or around the United States, where our staff plans to organize the event?
2.) Would you actually be WILLING to participate in the meet-up? Open to traveling anywhere outside of your own state, even?
3.) Are you older than eighteen years of age? This is an unfortunate cutoff our staff plans on enforcing, for certain practical purposes!

Be as concise of detailed as you'd like. We appreciate pretty much any and all feedback! =]
