if i can get a ride or a car pool I'll contribute to the fund just let me know

ok i will let yo all know when it is and where

Springfield here. Grew up down by Murphysboro.

oh,I live close to murphy :D

Yes, Anna is in beautiful country down in the Shawnee, not far at all from Murphysboro.

When I was a baby, we lived for a short time in Jonesboro. I have very few, rather dreamy/shadowy memories of living there, because I was so young. I have gone back at various times, though. I still have a cousin in rural Union County, and I like visiting the park in Jonesboro where one of the Lincoln Douglas debates was held.

If you follow through with a meet up, please let me know.
I am a rather private fellow, but I would consider attending.

wow so many so close and here i thought that there would be more from the Chicago area

yeah,there are a lot of ppl everywhere :D

If you have a meet up in southern illinoise let me I was born in MT Vernon and still have family there that i go to visit from time to time.

There are quite a few people from Chicago on here, just haven't signed on in a long time...

Speaking of Chicago, anyone going to go see HIM who is coming in April *happy dance*

if him was coming alittle closer to me than chicago or st louis i would go.

north side of chicago

wow there is ppl from my state,i didnt thiing there were too many from here :D

tell me about it... this state might not suck as much as i thought... *thinks about it* hmmmm. Then again, I am probably wrong

lol,other than no jobs around here,its alright i guess

no this state does suck because there is nothing below Chicago for the state to worry about

I hear ya there,no jobs or nothing

I agree...I moved from MT Vernon to ST Louis when i was in the 7th grade.. I have been every year sence then going back over to visit family and the town has not done much growing. When I was in the 7th grade that was back in the mid 80's....

yeah,it sucks

I grew up around carbondale area. I live on the other side of the river now in missouri but still get there to visit when I can so let me know when you have something a little more concrete. I'm always looking for an excuse to ride :)

My fiancee, RavenDrakul, and I are from Cary, McHenry County area. We're about and hour max from Chicago.

yeah,I hope soon I will be moving to Indiana

I am going to Exit and Neo on Sunday....

I used to live in chicago, where i grew up. But I moved to Skokie, Illinois.

I used to hang in Skokie

I haven't been to Neo... I always said I wanted to go, then I turned 21 and now I am almost 30 and still haven't gone.. LOL

I was kinda glad when I left Chicago though... Now a population of 20k is about 19k too much... I would like a nice house in Eureka California ( 70 in the summer and 40 in the winter, and they have palm trees mountains on 1 side and an ocean on the other :) ) that is my version of heaven

after all these years 20+ I have gone to Neo. Always have a good time, especially if my fave DJ is there! It is a late club, meaning it is pretty dead til 12-1 am...I will dance by myself on the floor though...

Man, u guys freakin rock. Im from Missouri and my state hasent even heard of VR apparently. Ive spent so much time in Illinois over the last six years from Carbondale, and murphysboro, to pickerington, to collinsville, to normal, to effingham, to springfield, to chi town, to rockford, to decature, to peoria, to evansville, to champaigne, to rosemont. to ofallon. not a bad state, and obviously u guys are more active here on VR.

I was wondering if maybe i could be considered an honerary Illinois member, lol. id like to go to some type of meetup but MO just doesnt have wat it takes to make it happen, u guys seem alot more apt to pulling one off. so would it be ok if i was notified if anything comes of this?

hey i would first make sure there is no other people from Missouri on here... I am from missouri work in st louis and live in Arnold.

oh ive checked, im not dumb. if u look around the forums ull see.

look its not that big of a deal, lol. i talk to alot of ppl and im familiar with arnold as well. anyway, look. it was just a question. lol.

besides, if ur from arnold, y r u answerin the question.

i was not answering the question i was just saying there is people on here from missouri.

i know im friends with a few of them, and missouri tries again and agian to get-to-gether and it never happens, thats y im in this thread. meet ups are wat this thread is about, not whos from where.

just let me know i will be there

well i would like to say am from chicago IL and am not happy with it the prices are to high here even the bus is 225 with no transfer .

wow i took a greyhound from NYCNY to Columbia, Missouri for less than that! i should look around again.

wow i took a greyhound from NYCNY to Columbia, Missouri for less than that! i should look around again.

im from Quincy, IL

my last roommate was from quincy. i love that guy!

I have never heard of that town,I don't look at the map too much any more,but you have been all over Il raby :D I have an aunt that lives in Springfield,she is a RN there.

you know someone from Quincy Raby? who is it maybe i know them!?

all i want to know about is the meet up

me too

I don't know anyone from there,I know people from Springfiels though :D

so.....a meetup?

Chicago Here!!!

we are more diverse than i though but that is a good thing

I think Raby should be dubbed an illinioian or however you wanna spell it. He been here enough. Anyway any details on the when and the where?

hahaha, thanks quennofdarkness. id love to try to make it to this meet if it happens.

i agreen w/queen as well. plus raby its kinda like you live here already

yeah really. HEY ZOMBIE guy you made any plans about it yet?

if finding a place to meet is a problem since its starting to get warm out you could always plan it in the summer and pick some start park to go to or a huge park somewhere.

I'm in Mt. Vernon, when I'm not at Purdue Univ. in West Lafayette IN.

it would be good to hear some plans of this coming together :)

yeah it would. and i was supposed to put state park up there hahahaha oops

first of all what is the mid point of where people are? Illinois is a very long state... Would we meet in the middle of the state?

its to decide where we would go to meet up and determine which place would be more convienent for everyone.

i think we should have it in the park somewhere and everyone could each bring a could bring a covered dish and drinks. so basically we could have a carry-in.

that sounds cool what about the Shawnee national forest some were round there but that may be more closer to the southern part of the state

ive never been there before

I am all for a meet up. I think a state park would be a great place. There are big and open.

Spitler Woods
Fox Ridge
Kickapoo State Park

Just throwing out a few parks that are kinda in the middle of the state.

ive been to kickapoo

haunted decatur illinois!

i love haunted places!

can we plz get a metting place i can go anyehere

and ill be coming for columbia.............MO

sorry, i meant FROM como not for. my bad.

have we decided where we are having the get together

i amazed there are so many peoples from ill-annoy here... oh and there are people here from MO... my friend and avid HIM listener is around st. louis i think.. but definitely from MO... Where about in chicago are you "chicagoans" from? I was around Diversey and Narragannsett (yes the actual city and wow i was never able to spell that) er, I went to the HS that was there Steinmetz... They made a movie called Cheaters.. based on the cheating of the academic decathlon.. woohoo.... lol :)
To the person who said they have hung in Effingham and Decatur.... why???? is all i have to say... lol been there and it was like a whole different planet!!!! i was in culture shock actually the first time i went there from Chicago hah

how many people from this thread are actually really into the vamp life? I myself have chosen correctly for myself i do believe.

sorry, the question above was me trying to get an idea on if we had a good amount of vamp activity or if its jus a bunch of ppl wantin to meet up. but either way its cool for me, its a win win situation for all.

but it would be cool to stumble upon a good amount activity. that could turn out to be a very good thing. if you know where im goin with this.

i understand what your saying raby

so when and where is this vampire meet up?

nobody knows yet
