Thread "minnesota webcomics meet up club?" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 7:11PM, Nov. 5, 2006

Are you from Minnesota or near the Twin Cities and interested in meeting fellow webcomic makers/fans in real life?
I want to start a webcomic meet up group if there is enough people interested(http://www.meetup.com/). If it happens the meetings would be in a neutral public location I'm thinking The Source (http://www.sourcecandg.com/). I go there on Saturdays for card league and RP. I can talk with the owner to start up the meetings.

I'm thinking of calling the group the Minnesota Webcomic Guild. Sounds cool and official.
Who?
Don't have to be from Minnesota ,but close enough to drive to the Source in Falcon Heights, MN.

Why?
Webcomics tend to be a internet and (maybe a few anime conventions)only social life. I don't really know any webcomic creators in real life. I want the webcomic hobby to expand a little more outside the internet.

What would we do?
I'm thinking of going to local cons(Anime Detour, Fall Con, etc..). Printing and selling our own webcomics as a group sharing a table. Tutorial meetings. Critique meetings. Hang out meetings. That's kinda what I got so far.

I have experience with club organizations. I started and still am an officer of the Anime Fan Club at Mankato State University since fall 2003.

Please reply or pm me if you are interested. This is just a rough idea of everything! It's going to be changed as everything is planned out.

I live in Lancaster, Pa, but I love the idea man. I wish I could join.

Posted at 4:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

Maybe we should set up a PA webcomic meet up club?

Crazy! One of my friends moved from Lancaster. I'm only a couple of hours from there.

I live in MA, so if there were a PA one I might be able to drive my self there, but we'd need more than five people….

I'm in Texas. XD

:/

:(

:((

TToTT

Oh the torture!

Posted at 7:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

bumMER! All the cool people are so far away! It was a sweet idea though. I'm going to have to spam the internet more when I get time.

Posted at 7:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

Okay so I am sorry to steal the thunder from the Minnesota thing, but honestly….there will now have to be a meet up webcomics club in PA. Any more care to join? Care to drive from Minnesota to PA? This is where it is at.

LOL! Pennsylvanians are everywhere! I never knew there we so many of us here on DD!

Posted at 8:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

I'm from Wisconsin. (Holy awesome for another Midwesterner!) It's close enough to Minnesota there, eh?

Posted at 9:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

I'd love to do something like this, but I don't live anywhere near there. :(

Posted at 11:11PM, Nov. 6, 2006

There's a few in Florida too !!

I could probably throw a rock and hit Kxela!!

ejb (if you know him) is from Miami

I don't live in Mini Soda, PA or Florida. This blows.

Posted at 8:11AM, Nov. 7, 2006

I don't live in PA, Mini soda, florida or in the USA or in America period. How come most of the people on DD have to live in America.

p.s. I'm british

Posted at 4:11AM, Nov. 8, 2006

I live in Texas. ^^;;

This sounds like a neat idea though, I'd love to meet other webcomic artist/authors. Though I'm extremely shy.

Posted at 7:11AM, Nov. 8, 2006

I live in boring Ocala, Florida atm.
Yay for old people and horses! x_x

Why are all the things in america? remind me to emegrate to the US when I have the money years from now. There are no good conventions in England.

Posted at 3:11PM, Nov. 9, 2006

Aww… sorries. Maybe there's some British people out there that would be willing to meet you?

((In other words, you Britains get your butt out here lol))
