I'm still trying to get my exact dates figured out, my grandmother is having surgery april 4th so I'm doing what I can to plan around that. I'm thinking I'll arrive sometime the 30th, and leave on april 1st, so I'll be able to spend the weekend there.

No worries, we have one idol.

And that sucks Ant... nothing too serious I hope? But any time you can come is fine. Whenever you can.

Your waffle maker is nothing compared to mine! My waffle maker and I will rule the world!

Quemaqua · « **Reply #123 on:** Sunday, March 18, 2007, 08:25:51 PM »

I'm sure you're right. Ours is kind of lame. But it gets the job done.

angrykeebler · « **Reply #124 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 10:45:13 AM »

i'd like to buy us all dinner one night. maybe i can order us all some pizzas and beer and we'll kick it

angrykeebler · « **Reply #125 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 11:52:41 AM »

btw! Idol, i have assloads of PC games that I dont play anymore you can have if you want.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #126 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 05:24:28 PM »

I think I can pretty much guarantee you that nobody's going to turn down an offer by you to get us all pizza and beer. In fact, someone may even raise a statue in your honor to commemorate the occasion.

idolminds · « **Reply #127 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 06:50:46 PM »

Awesome keeb! I should scrounge up the stuff I dont play anymore and see if anyone wants the things. Unfortunately..."games I dont want anymore" is a fairly small list.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #128 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 07:07:06 PM »

My "games I don't want anymore" doesn't exist. I'm a greedy pack rat.

I already know the perfect pizza place. Que probably knows and where I speak. It's completely packed, aways, but I have the distinct advantage of living less than a block from it.

idolminds · « **Reply #129 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 07:10:03 PM »

Any good chinese places?

sirean_syan · « **Reply #130 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 07:30:08 PM »

There's an okay one near me and a better one in Berkeley (like ten minutes away, but parking is a bitch)... then there's Chinatown which can be amazing if you know where to go, speak Chinese, and are Chinese. Unfortunately, I don't know where to go, don't speak Chinese, and lack any Chinese genes.

Excellent! Pizza and beer on me!

Quemaqua · « **Reply #132 on:** Monday, March 19, 2007, 07:59:49 PM »

Of course, getting *inside* said pizza place is nigh on impossible, but *getting* one is easy when you know somebody that lives a block away. Just order in advance!

And we've got a pretty good Chinese joint near us, though it isn't quite as good as the one we used to go to, which closed. But there's tons of places to go here, including Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, BBQ, steakhouses... you name it. No trouble finding good food.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #133 on:** Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 12:04:11 AM »

Yeah, we know two good Thai places around here and a few good Japanese places. There's even a silly Tex Mex place around here that's fun if you're in the mood despite it being a corporate joint.

Of course, few things compare to Barney's eith their fried vegies and burgers. Thankfully, that's less than a block from me as well.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #134 on:** Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 12:22:55 AM »

Did we mention that Sy lives next to basically every kind of awesome food you could want? We totally have to go to Barney's... just because I've been wanting to go to Barney's ever since you last mentioned it. You bastard.

angrykeebler · « **Reply #135 on:** Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 09:42:09 AM »

God, I need my vacation to get here. Work is draining me right now.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #136 on:** Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 06:06:29 PM »

I feel you. I'm looking forward to not being at work almost as much as the OWmeet.

idolminds · « **Reply #137 on:** Wednesday, March 21, 2007, 06:15:52 PM »

I leave in one week! Exciting!

sirean_syan · « **Reply #138 on:** Saturday, March 24, 2007, 05:48:01 PM »

I just realized that Grindhouse is opening on the 6th. We should all go see it opening day because it'll be all manly and awesome.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #139 on:** Saturday, March 24, 2007, 06:54:59 PM »

I was thinking that too, but then I wasn't sure that I wanted to see it. It looks like awesome fun on the one hand, but then on the other hand... I'm just not sure. A chick with a machine gun leg? That's a stretch even for me. Still, with a group it would have to be awesome, no question.

idolminds · « **Reply #140 on:** Saturday, March 24, 2007, 08:28:45 PM »

Unfortunately I leave at 9am on the 6th.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #141 on:** Saturday, March 24, 2007, 09:44:09 PM »

It's cool. We'll just rent Assisted Living Dracula instead.

Raisa · « **Reply #142 on:** Sunday, March 25, 2007, 06:26:46 PM »

you guys are posting pics and stuff yeah?

I wish I could go, but travel is near impossible at the moment.

idolminds · « **Reply #143 on:** Sunday, March 25, 2007, 07:10:12 PM »

I just searched for "Assisted Living Dracula" on google hoping it was a real movie. Sounds like it could be a sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #144 on:** Sunday, March 25, 2007, 07:14:05 PM »

Well, in that case we can just watch some good 'ol Zim. That can nicely fill any gaps of stufflessness.

Antares · « **Reply #145 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:13:42 PM »

Well, Sorry gang. Looks like I'm going to have to back out. I won't be able to make it after all. Sorry to back out at the last minute, but I'll be here expecting pics and stories.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #146 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:16:18 PM »

Sorry man.

Hope all is cool with your family?

No worries. You can make it next time. I'll save you a beer.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #147 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:21:55 PM »

Damn. We'll put Idol in charge of pictures then.

This reminds me. We should have something of a final roll call and requests so we can get info some of you might need (phone numbers, addresses, where we can meet up, that sort of thing). I think at this point it's Idol, Pyro, and Keebs (not counting Que and I). Anyone I missed?

Quemaqua · « **Reply #148 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:31:25 PM »

Yeah, it's getting down to the wire. Let's make sure we coordinate this properly. Don't want anybody getting stranded or lost or whatever.

I believe the current plan for idol is Sy is going to pick up him Friday, then they'll head to Oakland and meet up with me at Endgame after I get off work, then we'll all head back to my place? Yes?

Pyro, once you get your flight stuff squared away let me know.

Yeah, everything is OK, although my grandmother's surgery is going to be a pretty big deal. It is more of a problem with getting extra time off work and the amount of driving I'd have to do. I just won't have time to get to CA and back before I have to be at work next monday morning.

idolminds · « **Reply #150 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:50:46 PM »

Bummer Ant, maybe next time then. Best of luck to your grandma.

Sounds good, Que. I've got sys number and address for whatever I might need them for. Mostly so my family knows where the hell I am and I can call sy if my train is late. Hmmm...depending on where we all end up staying, might be a good idea for you to PM me your phone # as well. Just in case something happens at home my family can get in touch with me.

I'm pretty much packed at this point. Going to do a little load balancing between my cases but its nothing major (and I'm probably well under the 50lb limit). Just thinking hard about what else I may want to bring.

I'm all excited and nervous at the same time. This will be the first trip I've ever taken by myself...to a place I've never been before...I've never met you guys face to face before...and I've never taken a train trip outside of local commuter lines. Its simultaneously cool and scary.

angrykeebler · « **Reply #151 on:** Monday, March 26, 2007, 09:59:47 PM »

someone PM me an address that i should be at around 12 a.m next monday and maybe a phone number. thnx!

Yea, it was my first real trip alone when I first went to visit Que when we went to that concert. Once you get passed all the hair and jagged teeth, Ques a pretty cool dude.

Oh and I should find out about my flight stuff tomorrow. My plan is to fly in on Saturday.

This thread makes me sad. Hopefully I can get out there this summer/fall.

My adventure begins in 24 hours!

angrykeebler · « **Reply #155 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 09:34:53 AM »

whoa..you are going to be there by thursday??

idolminds · « **Reply #156 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:34:45 AM »

Friday night. Its a 53 hour trip.

angrykeebler · « **Reply #157 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:52:33 AM »

so it turns out i gotta be somewhere that saturday so I will be coming up on Monday and taking off Friday. Cutting it a tad bit short.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #158 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 05:56:16 PM »

No worries. We'll still be here. And you'll still get your fill of us, I'm sure. That'll take like... ten minutes.

idolminds · « **Reply #159 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 08:29:16 PM »

My own personal OCD is now kicking in...checking, rechecking, and rerechecking everything.

ARG! EXCITING!
