You can be logistics coordinator - show Vivi to the smoking room, direct people to where they could hook up to the router, print out people's nametags (with avatars), etc. We'd give you some kind of important looking badge that identifies you.
Hm probly need more than one person for this.
Any volunteers?

Hey - lets do it. Lets get some reality TV producer to pay for the whole thing and provide transportation and accomodations for everyone to some nice neutral place (Canada?) and let them film it. If we make enough money we could have both WP and some physical place where people could meet whenever they wanted to.

Hazard of being an autistic think tank - if I were entrepenurial (spelling???) I would go ahead and do it now while we could capitalize on all the autism controversy going around. BUt alas! I am not, so it will not come to pass.

Nice fantasy, though.

What? No way! Dancing is awesome!

My party would be heaps of music, heaps of tasty drinks (not poison tasting ones), a beach, a swimming pool, a few things do do indoors if people want. NO computers, the whole point is to socialise.

Oh, and heaps of yum food.
Hm. If you want a beach, we can't do Toronto. How about Vancouver? That might be a long flight for Vivi. Maybe Washington DC or Virginia? Nice beaches, and then we could all descend on Alex and say hi.

OH, gotta have computers. Otherwise its not exactly accessible to everyone. I am thinking of a place like they have in Atlanta and maybe other places where there are floors that cater to particular interests. One I heard of had five floors plus semi-private and private rooms. We could take over a hotel and accomplish this...

Even better than that, we'd have nametags AND tags with pictures of our avatars on them. :D


Perfect!

Yes, yes, yes!! I vote with computers. Some people might attend but would feel more comfortable if they could retire to the "quiet room" and have their laptop to communicate or just see what everyone is doing with a webcam. I don't dance but I love watching people dance. I live near Atlanta and there are lots of wifi places here.

I would love a wallpaper type job to help with. Oh, oh! I could help print the nametags with the ava's.

My perspective on this is different. I know there is a reason behind all this, but it is like no one you would expect.

That is a great idea, but I'm not sure if I can go any "extra miles."

since we'll immediately recognize you anyway, you can be exempt.

We could make a shirt for you instead: ViVi on the front, and your avi on the back. :)

Sounds umm... interesting? But would we put our WP usernames on the name tags or our real names? :?

That would be better. Make Wrongplanet T-shirts for everyone with their name and avie on the back. But please, please make sure they're tagless.

Tags don't bother me quite so much, but I do want to preview the fit of the shirt before I'll wear it. I'm terribly picky.

I don't have to have name tags I just have to see names written or I will never remember. I am very visual and totally not auditory.

t-shirt... hmmm... possibly.

but it would have to be made of organic cotton or hemp - i ain't polluting the enivironment for no party, chums. (growing cotton is an environmental nightmare).
