Show up for the one in Vegas on 12-8 or the one in Los Angeles on 12-18 and I'm sure the people that put those on would be more than happy to show you how they do it!! I'm sure the guys would be more than happy you showed up too!

... someone in the city to arrange one.

If you come to the Milwaukee area, if I post on a local board that you are coming, I am sure it would get a lot of interest.

One, maybe two, are being put together right now in the area. One is a bunch of hobbyists driven, and one may be arranged by the ladies.

I would be Happy to Give You

It's nothing more than a party. Same methods of planning any party or event. The difference is in the invitation list.

Have you ever attended or been invited to one?

Depending on where you are, there might be others who have already organized one in your area. It's best to work with them.,

But there is nothing stopping anyone from setting up an event. You consider those who you want to invite, security is important.

You look for a location to host it. A private club or hall, a public food or drinking establishment, a private home or hotel suite.

You consider the cost if it's not a public site and even if it is you might want it catered or food snacks. Many are open bar, many are pay in advance, some require all to pay, some require just the guys - they vary widely. Most host's setting one up for a private location or catered will ask for 30 to 100 per person, or from the guys. If the turnout is lower than you expect and cost cannot be covered by the prearranged pricing, ask everyone for help, they will all chip in, unless they are cheap.

Location Location Location, ease of assess by public services like trains and parking availability.

Recruit friends to help. Getting others to help is important and will lesson the burdens on you. It is sad to see a host worn out so badly they don't get to enjoy the party.

Use a web based invitation system. This will help keep track of who is or is not coming and can help keep it private for the most part by sending invites to only those you have screened.

Don't post the location until the day before. Tell everyone to keep that private. Actually, tell everyone you invite to keep the invitation private.

The invitation list. Some allow it to be open for those who are invited, some don't. The reasons vary. One that I know of which doesn't open the invitation list does so because or problems some people have with partying with others, the drama factor.

Some may ask for another to be removed or they won't show, this better be for health, safety, some other serious offense, or they should be told not to bother coming, we're suppose to be mature adults so everyone should act like one. In our case we trust the host and his parties have has turn outs of 60 to 100 without serious problems.

Planning and hosting a MnG isn't for the weak. So, if you feel it might be too much, it likely won't come off and you and others will be disappointed. Then there are happy hours to learn from, simple meetings at a Pub or similar public location.

In any case, good luck
