I just noticed the UK one and I wanted to know who here is from the US?
I'm originally from Boston, but after I got married I took a teaching position here in North Carolina. Lots of Whovians here, not a lot of Cons though...
I lived in Georgia for a year and got to experience DragonCon, and I wish I could go again, but it's the same weekend every year as our church outing to the lake, and that's a blast too (and the teachers at the school are highly encouraged to go.)

Well I'm not from the US but would love to visit. My Grandpa is half American and is still alive aged 91. I am indeed related to this man called Salmon Portland Chase, as my surname is Chase. He is my great, great, great uncle (no joke). My Grandpa told me this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_P._ChaseAnd of course the Chase bank (now Chase Manhattan) was indeed named after him. I would love to visit Ohio as that is where Salmon is buried. my girlfriend has been to Boston and last year went to Florida. She wants to go to New York for her 21st next year and I said I would take her.

You say you went to Dragoncon last year. Well Sylvester McCoy read the speech from The Pandorica Opens, one year. Thought you would be interested to hear it. Its very well done and put to music.

He does indeed. I myself think he reads it better than Matt, but then again I'm biased.

Hi. I'm originally from outside of Chicago (lots of Cons), currently live in Northern Lower Michigan (No Cons), and will hopefully be moving to Vegas next summer (Mix of Cons, LA is only 4 hours away). My goal is to hit as many Cons as I can afford next season before Dragon*Con, so hopefully I'll see some of you folks!

I'm just outside Portland, Oregon, born and bred. We have OryCon coming up in November, and I'm trying to sort out volunteering there. It'll be my first con and first cosplay (if I can get the costume together in time). I only wish I could afford some of the bigger cons!

I live in Philadelphia, so I'd really love to meet people from the NJ/NYC area since it's such a short distance away! I've only been to a handful of cons and no meetups, but I definitely want that to change. I need more cosplay friends!
