Gotta be Maine in June. That's when King is there.
I voted for June but didn't vote for where it should be held. But in Maine would be class if SK would be kind enough to make an appearanceAnd as this is at least a year from now minimum its gives me time so start saving so you can definitely put my name down for it. Would love to go to this years one but got a lot on and not enough spare cash for it. And hopefully this years gathering is a success to spur on next years event.
If it were in June in Maine I'd likely manage to make it. Anywhere else at any time I'd try.
I think my bedroom should be added as an option for a gathering.
I voted N.O. but not a date. I'd really like it to be a southern place. And a beach would be good.
On the date, I don't know yet, because I'm not sure what days I'll be able to get off next year.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I voted Maine in October. But really, I'm pretty open vacation-wise.

Dag was right about the "other" option.

(That made me sound like a slut didn't it?)
I wish I could afford to go but I owe too much money to the IRS because for some reason there weren't enough taxes taken out my checks.

Uugh....that happened to me one year.
I swear the IRS is like the freaking mob....you have no choice BUT to pay them.
Lousy jerks
I went with Maine because we have always wanted to visit there and it would be a great place for a gathering.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I voted Maine too
There are other worlds than these.

I voted for The City because SF is totally fun and easy for me to get to. Maine is sooo far away and expensive to fly into. I would love to do a Stephen King tour but it seems like it would be too much money and time away to make it work, for me.
I'm not ruling anything out.
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

Yeah, but SF is sooooooooooooo far away from others too...while Maine is a 25 minute drive from my home..Also, flying ANYWHERE is expensive.

I voted Boston and August. But I can do Maine, too. It's just a little further away.
June would be right at the end of school, so I don't know about that week. Kids usually get out the week right before that.
But, hey, since I am so close I can't complain too much.
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
well, I am a niners fan, so I don't really care if we decide to do it in SF.

I voted Maine and October as I always wanted to tour Kings' stomping grounds in the Fall when the leaves are falling.
Certainly SF would be easy for me, but I understand it would be far and expensive for many.
Still has to be Maine for me. I have a 14 hour flight across the pond.
ooo, I really want this to happen now. I am talking to a band that does songs about him, seeing if we can get them to play a bar up there around that time, they usually do.
Anything else anyone else want me to arrange?
I know that Stu will open up for us on the weekend, if we are planning on spending money! LOL
The standpipe is wicked cool.
His house is beautiful.
I didn't get to see his office last time I was there, maybe I can call Marsha and get in there!! HE HE
The wheels are spinning....

I voted Maine because it is closer for me. I am being selfish, I am sorry. June would be great for me, That week in October would be out because that is the week that my 3 youngest birthdays fall into. Mandi and Miranda, 10-16 and Carolann is 10-19. 10-16 is also my daughter Mirandas memorial because she was born and died the same day
Nerak, I personally think that would be great. I would really like to go to a gathering and meet everyone.
This post just confused the shit out of me. It's not decided yet, is it?
Who is Stu?? Whose house? Brady Bunch? The wheel in the sky keeps on turning?
