OH/PA/WV (cleveland/pittsburgh/morgantown area) burners?

[noise_e_piranha]

Any burners out there from Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia or Western Maryland? Do you live in or near one of the cities or towns at the bottom of this message?

I'd like to put together a regional event for burners in this area. Something relatively informal, but more than a camping trip. How about a long weekend, where we can experiencing the guiding principles of playa life in a setting that's closer to home? A stepping stone for our friends who won't commit to a trip to the desert, where they can get a small taste of all that the burning spirit has to offer.

If you're interested, send me a private message (including your AIM screen name or email address) and we can work to develop our "local" community. Or post a message here, if you want, to get the ball rolling!

Even if there aren't many of us right now, it might only be a matter of a year or two before we're big enough for a regional event.

Here's a list of some of the cities in this general area:

Akron, OH
Altoona, PA
Bethel Park, PA
Canton, OH
Charleston, WV
Clarksburg, WV
Cleveland, OH
Cumberland, MD
East Liverpool, OH
Erie, PA

Morgantown, WV
New Castle, PA
Parkersburg, WV
Pittsburgh, PA
State College, PA
Uniontown, PA
Warren, OH

Maybe even as far away as:

Wow, I would have loved this sort of thing a year or two ago. I moved to Atlanta last July. I will forward this to friends/burners who are still in the area. I might even attempt a trip there to join you. My experience is that PA is a little more tight on land regulations and permits than WV. I don't know much about OH.
