-An alternative to Bore-con.
Lately I've been going through my mid-life crisis a bit, figuring out who I am and what I enjoy. While there's a lot of great things out there, like fresh clean air, and One Piece, what makes me the most happy is spending time with friends and bonding. A chunk of the people I like the most in this world post here on The Bore. Those I've met, either from Japan, local beers, or Bore-con have all been amazing individuals and I've felt a deeper friendship with people like Karakand who I see about once a month now post-Bore-con, and Tasty Meat who I have a better appreciation for as a really nice guy, Chronovore whose like the best role model you can meet, etc...
So since while Bore-con was a lot of fun last year, not a lot of people could make it out, this year I want to go out to your towns and meet you! Like I'm thinking it'd be nice to take a Friday/Monday off once a month and do a 4 day weekend in one of your cities/towns and hang out

Plus even after all these years I still hate flying, so it'd be nice to force myself to fly regularly to get more ok with it.
I'm pretty booked for June, so I'm thinking starting in July would be cool. I'd definitely be up for a Seattle trip in the summer to cooler weather (plus I always like visiting Mr. Gundam and other ex-Bore friends), but really, anywhere in the US is cool. International I'd need more time off, but if Bore-con happens in London I'd be down to go.
So yeah, if you'd like to get to know a fellow Bore guy more, let me know when's a good weekend for you. Like feel free to bump this 3 months later if you're like "hey I got a free weekend coming up, why don't I invite that Bebpo guy over to have a BBQ at my place?" etc...
Anyhow, thanks for being a great group and hope you have a great 2017!
