I'm just outside of Hartford...  NYC is a pretty impersonal place to meet, and for the price of getting there/parking/doing anything we could probably have a much better time somewhere more rural. 

It depends on how centralized you'd like to make things.  Pretty much anything (that can reasonably call itself "north east," with the exception of maybe parts of Maine) is going to be 2-4 hours max for folks like Delirium and me, but could push 8 for others depending on where you'd have it.

The Connecticut/Mass border has a nice location of its own at the New England Air Museum.  It's extremely close to the hotels near Bradley International, and is also well within range of outdoors pursuits.  There's probably a camp ground or two somewhere up that way, though I'm not sure.

Yeah Con/ Mas border too far for me as for NYC being impersonal and expensive, There is always free parking and there a billion great things to do for free.

Im on the jersey shore. I can;t drive anymore because of some meds I take. Stupid doctors, but I would suggest Manhatten. for a meet. Trains or busses all seem to go there from anywhere. Anyway thats my thoughts.

Floatsup.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Could meet at Battleship NJ in Camden (not whole town is crazy).
They also have the Aquarium there. Philly right across bridge!
Also, in Camden are the Riversharks (Minor league baseball).
Obviously plenty to see and do around Philly, especially historical stuff!

I'm ok with going to just the bar.  So all that's left is time and date
