That sounds like a lot of fun! I've always wondered what everone is like in person ... I'm guessing O-H probably won't be talking much since we've learned she's so shy.

I've thought of doing something similar, like getting all the people from the Salt Lake area together to watch the finale and then the premiere.

I checked and my corporate jet is being used that weekend for Bono & Brangelina.
Sorry flans.
But I thought Brangelina was with Frangelina??! I'm SO confused!

I thought about trying to do something like this, but I just don't have the resources. Sounds like fun, but I doubt I'll make it. Georgia is a long way from St. Louis.

So since this is the 1st annual reunion - does that mean we're eventually going to have Office Conventions and all dress up like our favorite character and the cast members will come and sit at a table and sign autographs for us???
I think that a convention would be SO much fun!! I'd plan it and we could have it in Scranton (or in Philly and drive up to Scranton in a bus)
Ok - I'm getting WAY ahead of myself - Sara, I won't be able to make it but I know you'll plan a GREAT event....make sure to take LOTS of photos.

I'm OTP - just past Stone Mtn, so the park would probably be our best meeting point (but I do have a SMP parking sticker, so I could fit a few of y'all in the trunk...

I'm wondering if we could kick these off regionally - do the picnics all on the same day. I'm in the Boston area... anybody else?

There should be a fan luncheon in each time zone. Like GA will be for EST folks. Midwest should have one. Then the MST folks should have one (hint...Phoenix, Phoenix!!) and the west coast should have one. It should all be on the same day so we can all post on here about our luncheon and stuff. Just one lunch nationwide is not enough. Too many fans on here!!

Great idea! I so wish I was on the east coast. First, you guys get to see new episodes a whole three hours earlier, and now you guys get all the cool parties. Am I the ONLY fan on the west coast??? I would love to do something like this for LA area flans.

This is such a cool idea!
however, i won't be able to attend, firstly, i live in new jersey, i can't drive, adn my parents already think i'm crazy enough just going on these boards and liking this show, if i told them i was going ot a convention esque thing, they might be concerned

I love the idea of regional conventions. If there was one in the midwest somewhere I would definately be there.

Hmm, maybe we could do one in Kansas City. I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that not many people would want to drive to Manhattan where I'm at. Anyone else in the Midwest?

Hey Sarah,
If you read this: What all is the fee going toward? What's the break down? Just curious.
I'm considering this. I may use it as an excuse to do a road trip this summer with my sis.

It'll give the flavors more time to blend properly.
