I live in Rock Hill, and I definatly would come. I always hated that all the good conventions were on the west coast.

Depending on when this is, I could probably make it. I live just outside of Nashville, so it’s a short flight to Myrtle Beach for me.

I’d probably come. I just looked up hotels on Expedia, and in January they’re really really cheap.

I would be intrested in coming down to a blogger con. I live in foothills in North Carolina, so it would not take a long time to drive down. I am always down that way in summer to come to the beach.

I’m about 8 hours from Myrtle Beach in Ohio, but I’m always up for an excuse to drive to the beach! Depending on when, and my own schedule I’d try and make it.

Dave Slusher is tossing out the possibility of possibly organizing a regional Bloggercon in Myrtle Beach after the holidays. I, for one, would certainly be down with that. Looks like Dave Winer is also down. Add a comment to Dave’s post if you’re also down….

I’m down. Any excuse really. At the right time, I might stay a bit longer. You mentioned tourist season, when does that begin? April 23rd would be awesome for me. Is that around the time you were thinking? It should be plenty warm and beautiful by then. Though it wold be probably by March.

I’d come, even if it is from the UK

I would be interested in coming down for the conference. I agree Spring is a great time to visit South Carolina. I live in New Jersey and have driven and short vacationed in South Carolina before in the Spring. Actually it is not a bad drive down Route 195 from the North East/New Jersey. Lots of “Cracker Barrels” restaurants along the route.

We stood at “The Plantations Resorts” right on Myrtle Beach but away from the downtown area. Would be a great place for a conference!!

What I remember most about Myrtle Beach was there was an “Eagles and Wings” gift shop almost on every corner.

Thanks, everyone! I’ll have to admit that this is more interest than I was expecting, and with people willing to come from much farther than I would have thought. I think the basic question “Would there be enough interest to pursue this” has been affirmed. Moreso than a lot of places, this one will take some careful work with the calendar. It would be pretty easy to make a disaster of this by, say, scheduling it during Bike Week when hotel rooms are difficult or impossible to find. Thank you all for the input!

If it is held over a weekend, I’d come in a heartbeat from Knoxville, TN. Thanks for the idea.

Hmm…off-season trip to Myrtle Beach…sounds a lot like my high school spring breaks…count me in. I’d expect others from the NC Piedmont, too…

I’m in Atlanta, and I’d strongly consider driving to Myrtle Beach to meet with other bloggers, particularly re: education.

I would come to Myrtle for BloggerUnCon, the unofficial un-conference. Is Myrtle still a dry town on Sun? (i.e. need to drive to NC to buy beer?)

I would be coming down from Arlington, VA.

I’d love to meet Adam Curry if he’s not too busy hanging out with his elite friends

Yup, I’d love to come up for this. Wouldn’t be able to stay over Sunday, most likely, but would still like to show up

Would love to attend, and I’m sure others from the newspaper here in Spartanburg, S.C., would as well.
