Meeting in Chicago, USA in June
« on: April 26, 2023, 18:23 »
Hello there! I received my visa (ESTA) to the USA a week ago, I want to visit my family living in Chicago (Illinois state) in June. Just as Flenser had the opportunity to meet some people from our Miasma community, I would like to organize a similar meeting in USA. It probably wouldn't be anything serious - going out for a beer, a walk, whatever. Talk about life, about the game, about burritos. I had a chance to talk to SaintHappening (on Discord - highly recommended!) who lives in Chicago about it. I'm sure I'll be able to see him, but ... with who else? The USA is a huge country, I am aware that traveling takes a lot of time, money and energy. Still, would any of you be willing to meet in June?

Edit: I'm also planning to take the Amtrak train to San Antonio, and then somehow to Brownsville (I'm a huge SpaceX fan), so it would be a very long journey, passing a lot of cities. I haven't checked what cities these are yet, but maybe someone lives near the station on the Chicago-San Antonio route? We could at least talk for a while at the station, high five or something.

Regards,

Don't know your route to space x in Texas, but if you are coming close to Nashville Tennessee let me know.

Wow, that’s like going from Warsaw to Marseilles, France! Flying might be a better use of your time, 5 hours vs 30+.

I hope you’re not too disappointed in our train system, it’s not as good as any European system I’ve been on.

Still, I hope you have a wonderful visit!
