East coast meetings,West coast meetings, south meetings? Isn't there any flashaholics in the midwest? I live in IL and even though I have never met anybody else with this hobby I know they have to be out there. So chime in....maybe a meet for the people in the middle of the country can be made.:)

Mid Missouri here and would love to have a central meet sometime. A get together and show off the stuff we own to people that don't think we're nuts. I guess we could just put it together ourselves. What are some locations and dates you all would like.

I'd say either St. Louis or Chicago. Maybe KC or Nashville depending on where the biggest group would come from. Any ideas.

I'm currently in Indiana, though I'll be back in Kansas after this summer. I'd definitely be interested in a midwest get-together.

I am in the Chicago area and a get together in the midwest would be great. I can't beleive there aren't enough people interested that we couldn't make this happen.

I'm in the Columbus, Ohio area.

Based on the handful of responses to date, it appears that Indiana may be the most centerally located venue. Anybody care to identify a good Indiana park? I know from experience that Turkey Run State Park (55 miles west of Indianapolis) has both campsite and "lodge" accommodations available. Lots of dark after sunset, with an interesting trail along a rushing stream for daylight activity. The park also offers excellent picnic facilities, and has some sports facilities (although the specifics escape my memory). No doubt there are other, equally worthy parks available to play in. (Indiana Dunes comes immediately to mind.)

Thoughts?

I've heard good things about Turkey Run, but I've never been there myself. Depending on the date, I would be up for a weekend at Turkey Run.

I'm in SE WI. I'd maybe drive to northern IL or something for a GTG, but Indiana is pretty far given my nutty schedule.
