The Syndicate

So this has been a topic of conversation for a long time. Let’s see who might be interested/able to go to a meet up if it could be arranged.

whoa already got a vote! way to go TH!

This would be fun. I don't think I have any dates I need to plan around. Unless there's outrageous travel costs I am definitely down.

I want to say that no matter what, I'm in. But my husband doesn't have a flexible job like me :P

I have a flexible schedule (except for holidays and college football Sat's) but I have an inflexible knee. I don't think I'll be able to do this but I didn't want to check No because it's such a downer.

I can’t travel much, being disabled gets in the way of all the fun! But, if you guys ever have a meet up in Roanoke VA, or Greensboro NC, ( or somewhere near and in between ), I’ll be there!

Why don't I?

Everybody else takes off whenever they want.

I will beam in as a special guest via satellite

Also, long as it isn't in California.

Jesus.

I might use this as an excuse for a vacation

Summer feels so far away, should we try to organize it for before then? also where are we going?

I figured once we know who wants to go we can decide where to go based on the most convenience for the participants. And we will also take into consideration what kind of place everyone might like to hold it.

Highly unlikely that it will bein California.

LETS GO TO JACKSONVILLE TO SEE BLAKE BORTLES

How about Toronto? Canada is nice and friendly.

Jax has tons of breweries and places to eat. Even a place called Jax Beach Brunch Haus that Llama Logan and I like. There's a fancy scratch kitchen place called Moxies that's I'm mildly obsessed with and also we can go do top golf (but I kick ass at it, fair warning). Remember that Amelia Island and St Augustine are only about a half hour away (in opposite directions). I am unfamiliar with any musician named Blane Bortles but I can do some legwork on that.

There are tons of cool air BnBs you can get in Jax, on ot off the beach.

JAX BEACH BRUNCH HAUS SUMMER 2019

I mean, this would be awesome.

The poll results made me laugh.

I'd certainly like to make it happen as long as everything lines up appropriately.

My Facebook feed used to be filled with ads for neat little Toronto restaurants that looked amazing. And legal weed!

This was a joke from The Good Place, if anyone is hip to that show.

I don't actually want to go see Blake Bortles.

Yes! IRL mafia with you guys would be so fun.

Mary Jane is the friendliest plant. Anyways, I'm looking forward to adult activities

I got it and loved it. Great show!

@Mongoose Do you think we could convince Llama to join in the fun?

I think it would be best to just tell me when and where and I'll let you know. Holiday season might be a little rough for me, but I think there shouldn't be too much issue after January 20th if we are planning that far out.

Ping me yo.

I think the idea was to have it in the summer so the teachers among us would be able to attend.

I have spare time I just can't do it without spending the equivallent of a new computer on it (and computers are expensive here).

Maybe some day when I'm financially succesful and stuff.

If I go, he is approximately 3x more likely to go since we see one another max twice a year, but actual results may vary. It also depends on where and when, a snazzy place will help draw him out!

Duly noted!

tbf in sweden, travelling across country in train was sometimes 10x more than flying to another country, no jokes.

edit: oh i thought you said Finland. what's Finald.

Sounds fun but I can’t make any promises. Besides, I’m much less interesting in person.

The Syndicate really does exist now in two eras.

Pre-Vompatti and Post-Vompatti.

Oh, trains. A magical dream that I wish I could have.

Here we do EVERYTHING with busses and trucks.

JAX BEACH BRUNCH HAUS SUMMER 2019

I'd be okay with Jacksonville even though I knew it was a joke. I have driven through it several times but never stopped. Either way, I am thinking somewhere on the east coast would be best for most, I think.

Who is this Llama Logan you are referring to?

As long as you don;t mind doing them around a 7, 9, and 12 yr old.

My mistake then, I didn't realize it was that sort of meetup.

Toronto would be easy for me to get to.

I’ll give this until Friday and then we will move onto the next step.

I would still love to do this.

it's looking like ill be able to take my 30 days off something in january that'd be cool if this was happening, ive got like no real plans right now for what to do

Are we ready for the next step?

In case the poll needs deleted.

Ok, so phase two:

Let us know when you WOULD be able to do it, and if there are specific dates you would NOT be able to do it.

Finally...Suggestions for where? This can be a specific place or a general idea, like the beach or the mountains.

Summer is ideal for us. I don't know that I'd be able to manage otherwise. Middle of June until the beginning of August- any time in there.

I have no preference, since it's really a long shot for me this upcoming year (new country, new house, new job) and I already have plans inside Europe for July/August, so I'll just play it by ear if the stars align and my TBD holiday is in sync with whatever you guys decide on.

unless you guys are considering Europe? then I totally recommend Budapest. So much to do, affordable accommodation, food and alcohol!

Okay a Europe trip sounds amazing. Would it be much harder to plan than a stateside stay?

I mean Iäm serious and all, but believe it would be difficult for people who travel primarily by car or are bringing kids, as would be the case with Epi and Eloh. So don't worry about this Euro girl.

if enough euro people are interested, I wouldn't mind planning something somewhere too in the future

I'm not the most experienced traveler, nor do I have my calendar full and planned next year. I'd like to see what others suggest.

Summer is best for me. I'd be happy to go anywhere within reason, TBH. As long as I can get there with a relatively inexpensive plane ticket. These days, parts of Europe can be lower cost than parts of the US, so I'm open.
