There's been some stirrings on the board about Armadillo Gatherings, so I figured I'd make a thread for it, as well as this handy-dandy map: www.zeemaps.com/map?group=258631&add=1I have (oh-so-wittily) titled it "FYEMAP," and it has the capacity to keep track of where we (the Armadillos) reside! Just click Additions along the top menu, then Add Marker - Simple on the dropdown. Fill out the Add a new Marker form (your username for Entry Name, neighborhood for Location), hit Submit, and presto! You'll be on the map. Or you should be. I'm not an expert, so if it doesn't work, don't be shocked. Just let me know, and I'll fiddle the settings or whatever. THEN (and this is the cool part), when you have a hankering to meet with your fellow Armadillos, you can just look at the map, see who lives nearby, and shoot them an invite. OR, if you're traveling, you can check who lives in the area -- for example, a whole bunch of us apparently live in Chicago, so if I ever go there I'll be sending them PMs, bothering them to show up. And then we will party and watch literary-adaptation movies and eat chocolate, and it will be a good time.

Yay! I put my marker on the board, but I doubt anyone lives close enough to me. Everyone I meet on the internet is usually at least two states over, or on the other coast.

If you come to where I go to school, you can totally crash at my apartment. We also have a confectionary here. They make their own chocolate.
Just sayin'.

Yay! I'll have to wait a bit to actually participate in a meet-up. I'm still under 18, and unfortunately, I still have to tell my parents where I'm going. I don't know if they would like the sound of me meeting people from forums (they still think everyone on the internet is a pedophile). HOWEVER, I will be turning 18 in a year and 10 days! Woo! I've tried marking my place, but I don't think it worked for me. D: I'll try again later.

Added myself, but I'm in the same situation as Gina. Boy, I can't wait for college.

Yeah, right. I go to a state school in Illinois. We also have a confectionary here. They make their own chocolate. WHEN IS THE NEXT FLIGHT I AM ON MY WAY. *fluffs couch* Alright, just let me know when you get here.

You people, luring me out there to Chicagoland! I have a few friends at UChicago, too, so I've been planning to go there for a while, but now I feel like I Really Should Go. And what with the unemployment, I have no excuse not to! Ah, couch-surfing, here I come. Sometime during this fall semester, probably.

I am more entertained by this than I should be.

Added myself by the location of my college. But it looks like it doesn't matter -sobs- You guys are all so far away.

Yeah, Chicago's looking the most logical place for any Big Major Meet-Ups. It's approximately in the middle of all of us... and has a little Armadillo Cluster right close by. And by cluster, I mean two. Which is more than we have in any other given place.
