Where are you from?

[randarrington]

I'm in Northern Virginia about 20 minutes from Washington DC.

[Lisa Clark]

Fargo, ND! @AngelinaKizz We're close, but still 5 hours and a border crossing away!

[DoodleMick]

@lisa-clark Always wanted to visit Fargo. Is it nice up there?

[Jeremiahbrown]

Boston (ish), MA

[Griffin McPherson]

I’m in upstate New York

[AngelinaKizz]

What does everyone think of a potential Sunday mid morning CST time coffee and drawing video chat? I don’t have a zoom membership so it would cap at 20 minutes… but maybe we can use another platform.

@AngelinaKizz thanks for posting this I’m enjoying learning where everybody’s from and it is so awesome sharing a passion and having connections with all these wonderful people from all over the place️

[lizardillo]

I always love seeing where people are from. I’m from Tamworth in England. Only 3,811 miles away from Winnipeg (I googled it )

[Larue]

Coming at you all from sunny Silicon Valley, (San Jose CA)

[AngelinaKizz]

@lizardillo only! Lol.

[Julia Hegetusch]

Germany, Munich. But getting ready to move back to New Zealand

[chrisaakins]

Atlanta, GA. Well just north of it in the suburbs anyway.

[Joel Cockrell]

@randarrington I'm in central VA. About 3hrs from DC. If you ever attend a mid-Atlantic SCBWI conference, let me know and we can swap advice.

@doodlemick This winter has been brutal. We're getting hit with yet another blizzard tonight. The people here are so nice and I'd say that's the best part. I just love them. If you come, come in the summer!

[AngelinaKizz]

@lisa-clark we’re getting that blizzard too… and I’m not sure where we’re going to put any more snow, as it’s currently piled higher than I stand.

[randarrington]

@joel-cockrell That's a great idea!!! I'm originally from the Southwestern tip of VA about an hour north of Bristol, VA. Were you born in VA or settled? Are you near Roanoke? that's about 3 hours or so...down 81 anyway....

[DoodleMick]

@lisa-clark Summer visit…. Got it.

[carlianne]

@larue I just moved to Florida last year, but we went to the same college, were you there before they created the Animation/Illustration major?

[Larue]

@carlianne Yep. The year I graduated was the first year they had any computer art classes. My projects were turned in on a floppy disk! Oh to have been born 10 years later!

@angelinakizz Fellow Canadian here! From Toronto.

Google Meets, and I think also Skype, offers unlimited group chats. Google Meets capos to at 25 which I think is more than enough. Otherwise nobody gets to talk.

There’s another group chat platform that for collaborating on a drawing. It’s called Magma Studio. Not sure if the free option limits the number of people in a group.
