Ok, party people.  I'm in Canton, Ohio, and don't have a car, but give me SARTA (Stark Area Regional Transit Authority) and I can go pretty far! :)

  (Raising hand in the air like Hermione usually does...)

  I'll help organize something too.  I'm in the middle of co-organizing a "Global Gathering" in another fandom - I think we've got 13 cities all over the world all getting together the same weekend.  It's really not as hard as you'd think it would be.  I'm all for meeting other HP fans.  If there's any interest, I'd me more than happy to help!

    It's such a small world that I wonder why people would misrepresent 
    themselves on the Internet.  Several times I've ended up chatting 
    with "strangers" who turned out to be friends of friends... happened 
    a lot when I was in undergrad.  Sending embellished pictures is silly 
    for the same reason.  The online world is just like the real world in 
    many ways.  Be yourself!

    I know there's been talk about a 2001 or 2002 HP4GU trip to England.  
    But I'm thinking it would be really fun to have annual HP regional 
    get-togethers.  This way, those who can't afford the expense of 
    traveling can still meet and greet other fans.  For instance, there's 
    several regular posters who live in SE Michigan... lots in the London 
    area... others in Texas... others in Australia, etc.  

    When the movie comes out in November, why not see it with the 
    families and friends of other fans?  I know although my sisters and 
    sweetheart won't mind seeing it with me (they sat through 12 hours of 
    Anne movies), they will not want to dissect it the way I'm sure 
    another fan would.  So the first of the regional gatherings could be 
    in November 2001.  We could plan a second one when Book 5 is released 
    in 2002.

    I've participated in this sort of thing in other fandoms... the 
    Anne/LMM ones I've participated in are so much fun it's 
    unbelievable.  It's always a blast meeting people in person.  The 
    time flies by... and then there's pictures and memories.

    List moderators, I'd be more than willing to help coordinate this if 
    there's interest.  Should I set up a poll, or wait to see if anyone 
    else would like to participate in this sort of thing?  For all I 
    know, most of the list may cherish anonymity.  ;)
