We want to get together and we need your help. We frequently get suggestions for where we should hold a MinnMax community meetup, now we're leaving it all in your hands. In the comments below, make your best case for your hometown (USA only, sorry) as the location of the big MinnMax community meetup happening in September of 2024.

We're going to fly a bunch of MinnMax cohorts out for a weekend in September to shake some hands and create a travelogue about the experience. Can you believe some of us still haven't met in real life?

We're not necessarily looking for a big city, please pitch your hometown (or meaningful town to you) and all of the reasons it would make a great location and a compelling travelogue. Does it feature a pretty cool water park? The world's biggest ball of twine? An incredible hike? A cheap place for laser tag? A prime fishing hole? The last Blockbuster? Make your case in the comments below! We're only accepting pitches for towns in the contiguous United States. Sorry, Alaska and Hawaii. But hey, if this is successful, then you never know about next year... look out, world!

After everybody has submitted their best case in the comments below, we're going to choose our favorite options and then let you all decide in a poll on Patreon for the final pick. Then in September (exact weekend TBD) a whole bunch of us will get on planes and meet there and record our adventures.

For previous meetups folks in the community have asked if they should fly in, we've always told folks to wait until we have a "BIG" meetup. This is that meetup, it will be celebrating MinnMax turning five years old. Technically the anniversary is this October, but we want the weather to be nicer... wherever we are. So we want to be really clear that there is zero pressure for you to make this trip with us, BUT if you'll be in the area and REALLY want to come meet a group of us to talk about games - we'll be there.

As always, we cannot thank you all enough for supporting an independent media outlet like MinnMax and making all of this possible. We're really excited for this adventure. Let the pitches begin!

Scranton, PA… a city known for The Office and the best pizza outside of New York and Chicago. We’re two hours away from NYC and Philadelphia, nestled in the Pocono Mountains, and have a great and easily accessible regional airport. One of the best bars in Scranton, Bartari, features video game themed mixed drinks like the Princess Peach and has one of the best collections of pinball machines on the East Coast (plus tons of arcade cabinets and board games). If you’re a fan of the Office, you can see where the show intro was filmed, visit Dunder Mifflin, and tons of Office themed murals across the city. Kelsey can stop by our ballpark, home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Scranton is a smaller city like Ben has been looking to visit, but big enough to get a good meetup going!

Milwaukee It’s cool and good Fresh coast baby! We got water on deck. Riverwalk and a beautiful, accessible lakefront. Walkable, bikeable, public transit galore! Including a free street car. Food scene is nuts, bar scene is bubblin, coffee scene roasts any midwestern city! Affordable and full of hospitality, we are as cheesy and cheap as you’d expect a good ole midwestern city to be. Come hang cohorts and community members alike!
