I may just take you up on that offer this summer! I live in Illinois so you are only a hop, jump and skip away.

I'm still up for my plan of Althanas UK meet up.
Texas is huge is my excuse. Even living near the border to Oklahoma it's over an hour or two away. Though if none ever wants to go to a Con here in Texas y'all be sure to let me know cuz I will happily meet up.
For me I have the same problem as you have with Scotland ... It's too damn warm for me. Even in winter apparently.
