AvatarMeet 2013: Location and Date Proposal Poll

[Alan]

AvatarMeet 2013:

Your AvatarMeet team have been taking a long hard look at where and when to hold the next meet up. From the survey that was conducted post AvatarMeet 2012, there was an even split between east and west coasts of the US as a location. We have considered following the Avatar Exhibition, which will be in Indianapolis next summer a well as places that provide links to the themes in Avatar and people's suggestions. Another important factor is being close to a large population of Avatar fans and having good transport connectivity. So taking into account feedback from both the survey and clan members, the proposal for 2013 is:

Proposed Location: Washington DC

Proposed Date: 25th - 28th July 2013



What's with the thinking?:

• Takes AvatarMeet to the east coast of the US to allow fans from that side the country the opportunity to meet.
• It is more accessable for people from across the Atlantic to join in the gathering.
• Excellent transport links by rail, road and air both nationally and internationally.
• All visitor attractions are in the same locality.
• Theme link to Avatar 1: Space and Flight Museum.
• Theme link to Avatar 2: National Museum of the American Indian.
• Theme link to Avatar 3: Botanical Garden.
• Theme link to Avatar 4: Washington Zoo.
• The first three are all located next to each other, with Washington Zoo a short metro ride away.
• The date avoids events like Comic-Con.
• All the museums are free to visit.
• All the places of interest are in the same locality.

AvatarMeet 2013 Tag Line:
AvatarMeet 2012 have the tag line "Uniting the Clans". This was suggested by Zephania from Learn Na'vi and seemed very apt. However, we would very much like to have a new tag line for the 2013 meet up. Your planning team have tried hard...very hard...to come up with some ideas - 72 in total...some of which were maybe not quite Avatar related or repeatable! So having exhaused ourselves, we though why not go to the people who are our inspiration? You! So here is the challenge:

Come up with a tag line and post it below. Ideally no more than three words, but this is not a strict rule. Na'vi is acceptable, providing a translation is also provided.

So go at it.
Closing date is 31st December, after which the planning team will pick the five best and post them for a voting poll shortly after.



We look forward to your input.
