KC Head-fiers,
Ok, so I've called in a favor and secured a large multi-media room to use at a public middle school North of the river. I've got plenty of space (it used to be their library, lots of sq. ft.) and have access to however many tables, chairs, etc. that we would need. It's quite easy to find (right off I-29) and we would even have our own entrance to bring stuff in and out of right next to the room we'd be using.
So far, this is the best space I've found (that is unless someone else finds a better more suited one), I've known the head custodian there and he's been a friend of the family for many years. He doesn't have ANY problems letting us use this space and whatever else I would need. Now we just need some people to fill it! Hell, I'd even bring food and have the guys at the school set us up with an iced cooler full of pop and water, whatever you dudes want.
If you're interested, please reply here and state the most optimal month and possibly a couple dates that would work best for you. Like Bill stated, this will be a public meet. Anyone reading this that will be in the KC area IS encouraged to come, I'd really like to meet these folks and associate some more names to faces!
Hey, you outta state folks are welcome to join as well, indeed the more the better!
Really though, please tell Bill or myself when would be the best date. I'd like to give the folks at the school at least a month in advance (though it's not really necessary for them). As soon as we get some more people that would for sure come, we can get an attendance roster started and a gear list made up. Plus I'll work on setting up some easy to read maps for your viewing convenience.
Best regards,
Andrew
