Where is everyone from?

[prospectorgems]

I know there have been posts like this in the past, but I couldn't find anything in the post search. I am just curious where everyone on these boards is located as it would be nice to get together with some board members at some point in time.

I was thinking of taking a road trip this summer to various card shows and maybe have the fortunate chance to meet some members. I know some of you out there have had this chance already. I know it may sound strange, but I think it would be cool to have a yearly FCB convention where we can all get together, BS about cards and sports. Maybe I could somehow convince work that this is a business trip.

Anyway, I am from Wausau, Wisconsin. About 90+ miles from the frozen tundra (Green Bay). In my opinion we only have two seasons here, Winter and Summer. I hope that once the economy changes for the better I can get out of this frozen land and move to some state that Football isn't the only thing on people's minds.

I live in Benton, Illinois. It is in southern illinois, 97 miles out of St. Louis. Hometown of John Malkovitch and Doug Collins. George Harrison's sister runs a bed and breakfast Beatles museum called Hard Days Nite or something. George stayed here at it back before the Beatles blew up. She has lived here for years for some reason. Town has around 6000 population.

Lived the majority of my life in McLeansboro, Illinois. It is 22 miles away. Hometown of Jerry Sloan and Carl Mauck. Town has about 3000 population.

I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana.

That was backward.
