Epic North American Meetup Thread

[TheRocket]

Sheesh, all these people planing on taking trains. Back in the day when my friends and I wanted to cruise CPR, it was almost as expensive (if not more in some parts) as flights!

My proposal IS pretty awesome - even if I have no intention of going

[ChoTomoko]

Awwww, no love for Hawaii... :'( Oh well, I put my vote in for NC.

[Cade Antilles]

If the cost of travel is very cheap, I can join the meet up. That probably not being the case, I'll probably have to sit it out. But, I will keep my eye on this thread just in case.

As long as by "Hawaii" you mean "two thousand dollars of airfare" then yeah... no love for Hawaii. Also fuck every island that isn't Oahu. And the windward side of Oahu.

FUCK YES! You, you are awesome! But it would be a great excuse to come down here, wouldn't it?

If a tent city appeared outside my house one night, that would be awesome/creepy as hell.

Oh! But!
I have a balcony, and I can make proclamations from it, like the despotic ruler of a small island nation!

[epocalypse]

what do you mean "like", Graham? If we pull that together, why not go outright for a totalitarian nation founded, like any worthwhile government, upon the in jokes of a large gathering of nerds? I can see it now...

...Lrrtopia.

[Arius]

I must out forth my claim to all of the females, as per usual, when we make plans for the founding of the nation.

Anyone thinking of taking a train, the problem there is less about the money and more about the time. It takes 4 days to travel from FL to Vic via train. So, you'd have to plan for 8-12 days away from home. Including the days there.

For some reason imagined that episode of Family Guy where Peter annexed his house.

Goddammit.

Someone needs to photo shop that into existence. My photoshop program crapped out on me otherwise I would be all over that

Yes... but I already have an excuse to go out there, I just don't have the money.

For some reason I pictured the Monty Python skit where Hitler stands in the Minehead by election.

That has so much win in it, it would cause the universe to implode if Graham acted it out. Wait a sec....that would be cool

[Gordon Fearman]

IT IS DECIDED! Tent city outside Graham's house.

Also, if you claim the women, Arius, I claim the Fritos. And Mountain Dew.

Screw it, I claim any food that enters our tent city nation...thing.

[Intellectually funky]

I would so be there... If College weren't a bunch of stupid-faces... so yeah!

[Smidge]

I vote Amsterdam, the place is full of homeless anyway, so a few more nerds camping in the parks wouldn't be noticed by anyone.

[Evil Jim]

We could all go out to Vancouver/Victoria for Anime Evolution in August of 2010. LRR will already be there with time for fans, there will be the convention to enjoy when LRR aren't around & plenty of opportunities to do cool stuff.

I would welcome proclamations from the balcony of this despotic (but kind & generous) ruler. I listen anxiously with a warm heart, open ears & an empty mind, ready to be filled with his wisdom.

[Theremin]

The West Country, anyone?
There's already 5 of us, and we have plenty of tea...

[Arius]

Did England secede from Europe?

Where in the West Country? That's a hell of a lot closer to me than Victoria.

[Theremin]

Bath/Bristol

[Snowfire]

Far cheaper than flights to Canada or the States then. Possible (for me at least) though dependent on when.

[TomBrend]

Psh England... I vote for a New England meetup.

[epocalypse]

we could use CNN's hologram technology to make it seem like the euroLRRds were actually there with us. and to make it more like star wars. Think about that.

[Arius]

But it would only appear that way to outside observers. The "hologram" was added to the video digitally. All Wolfie saw was a red circle on the floor.

If Europe wants to join our hippie commune, they can fly over.
