We wish that we could do these everywhere!  smile  We're trying out this smaller event as an experiment for Boston-area Scratchers. We hope that what we learn from this event will help us help others organise their own events. Hopefully there will be an event closer to you soon!

Thanks,

Too bad I live in Canada  lol


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Maybe you can start another thread on the forums asking for other Scratchers )and their parents) in England interested in meeting somewhere?

Re: Scratcher Meetup @ MIT

Could you do one in PA? it isn't that far from boston. im sure u could do 1. PLEASE?!?!?!?!?


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Well, I doubt I can go (I live in Colorado), but there is like a 0.5 % chance i can go, because my dad is also a scratch user. I hope I can go!  big_smile

LUCKY!!!! Boston is in MA, and isn't that right by Maryland. (They are also small states lol so no trouble going through.) THE CAMP IDEA IS AWESOME! BUT- I couldn't go. BUT- it would still be awesome.


You guys could also have on in each region of America, becasue I'm in Michigan (aka the worst economy state *yay* lol) . Not only is that 126127891273918 miles away from Boston, my parents are thinking twice about going to our family renunion in the SUMMER, because gas money would be more than airplane money to Kanas, or Kentucky, lol, I forgot. (Some state 84639296289 miles away from Michigan ^^''''') AND, airplane money is like $600 (big family) for all of us, and yeahhhh......Each region would be good....

But to organize? The idea is cool...

Re: Scratcher Meetup @ MIT

Hmmmmm.... I went to Boston this summer, but this gives me an idea.... we could gather up a person from each state (maybe we could divide the larger states into smaller groups)
And like, for instance, I would be the Ohio host, I would make an Ohio Scratch Convention Forum, and we could meet somewhere famous in Ohio... like.... Lake Erie? Well, thats a 6 hour drive for me.... so we may have to divide the states into smaller groups... but people from other states might want to go to another convention because there is somebody they want to meet there.... like, if someone lived in Indiana, and they wanted to meet me or someone else in Ohio, they could come to the Ohio Convention.... Anyway, heres what I think might be good hosts. You know, make forums and decide on the place to meet and stuff.I read the posts above, sooooo....

Ohio: HarryPotterGal
England/UK: Toasty and Stickylady
California (or at least one part lol!) Ribbledude
Alabama: magabella
Missouri: theUnderscene
Michigan: Uandiwish (yayayay come to the ohio one wish lol)
