Woot! Also, you and Sy are going to be having Chicken Parmesan at my place on Friday night, because it's my birthday dinner that Julia really wants to make for me but she can't do it on my birthday... so it'll be Friday. Sy doesn't know this yet, though. But I guess he will if he reads this.

That'll be great, I'm probably going to be tired of my ham sandwiches by then...hehe.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #162 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 09:45:08 PM »

Yeah, I guess I know now.

Good luck on the train ride. I'll be there on the train arrives in Emeryville. Then we'll probably go meet up with Que and head to his place.

idolminds · « **Reply #163 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:12:16 PM »

Sweet. Well, off to bed and probably won't get a chance to post tomorrow. So see you guys when I get there.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #164 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:17:54 PM »

Happy trails! Bring entertainment.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #165 on:** Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:46:37 PM »

Hope your DS battery doesn't run out.

So Keeb's. We've decided. Head over to my place on Monday. We'll be waiting for you (or asleep).

Excellent! To celebrate my arrival, for dinner we will go out for pizza and beer on me!

Pugnate · « **Reply #167 on:** Wednesday, March 28, 2007, 02:52:12 PM »

I am going to be gazillions of miles away, yet I am excited.

Keep us posted. We need hourly updates as soon as Keebler arrives damnit.

I wonder what the first meet will be like. It will be awkward in so many ways, but everyone will feel like old friends within five minutes. I am sure Keebler is going to crack a lame joke to break the ice and then Que and Sirean will not laugh just to make him feel worse.

I want to be there and not laugh.

That's more or less how it worked when I met Que... except I had the whole Sav business to complicate things a bit... so instead of five minutes it took a couple days.

Fortunately we had steak and Fat Tire. Hard to lose with that combo even if you've got global thermonuclear disaster at hand.

Pugnate · « **Reply #172 on:** Thursday, March 29, 2007, 12:16:36 AM »

Maybe that's the formula they need at the UN?

Quemaqua · « **Reply #173 on:** Thursday, March 29, 2007, 10:35:40 PM »

Pyro, you figured out your flight stuff yet?

PyroMenace · « **Reply #174 on:** Thursday, March 29, 2007, 10:39:40 PM »

Alright it looks like I'm going to be getting in rather late, like at 10:15pm. Heres the flight information.

Flight #1997 arrives into Oakland at 10:15 - if that doesnt work theres
Flight #2037 arrives into Sacramento at 11:30

After those 2 I'll try again Sunday morning. Oh and these flights are American Airlines. So will this be alright with you guys?

So one more day of work, thank goodness.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #175 on:** Thursday, March 29, 2007, 10:44:51 PM »

Yeah, that's fine. And this was Saturday night, right? And you have my phone # and stuff? Sy's too, just in case? Anyway, it'd definitely suck to go out to Sac that late, but at the same time it'd be cool because no traffic! I just know I'd end up getting lost, haha.

Anyway, good stuff.

PyroMenace · « **Reply #176 on:** Thursday, March 29, 2007, 10:49:18 PM »

Yea, this will be Saturday night and I have both your number and Sy's. So yea, I'll probably be famished when I arrive since airplane food is small.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #177 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 12:36:20 AM »

No worries. Sy just shopped for $100 of food which he fears you will devour within hours. I assured him you would. Don't disappoint me.

PyroMenace · « **Reply #178 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 12:44:42 AM »

As long as he doesn't feed me those fig newtons that suck all moisture from your mouth I'll eat anything.

Ghandi · « **Reply #179 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 12:47:23 AM »

Don't hate on fig newtons please. Although I haven't had one in 5 years I remember them to be enjoyable and moisture-sucking. Wait a sec....

Anyways, I expect pics tomorrow from Idol. Also stories of which I cannot imagine. Which I am currently imagining.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #180 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 01:10:23 AM »

Haha, dude, he doesn't mean fig newtons (I love those). It was the moon cake! Or was it the yam cake? I think we had both. I'd tell the story, but I'm too tired. I think Sy needs to field this one.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #181 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 09:41:28 AM »

They were yam cakes. Moon cakes are actually pretty awesome; yam cakes are just interesting. I actually found that box of cakes the a couple weeks ago while Que and Julia were here visiting. We had a laugh at Pyro's expense, then prompty threw them in the trash.

sirean_syan · « **Reply #182 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 01:01:58 PM »

First Snag! Idol's train is something like 9 hours behind schedule. Poor bastard. He's going to be 3/4 dead by the time we get him in the Bay Area.

Pugnate · « **Reply #183 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 01:05:12 PM »

Good thing he has a handheld!

PyroMenace · « **Reply #184 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 10:42:23 PM »

Well I'm packing as I type this. Had Idol arrived yet?

Quemaqua · « **Reply #185 on:** Friday, March 30, 2007, 10:45:41 PM »

Last we heard he was in Reno. Should be getting here around 5 in the morning or so, according to Sy. Heh... great start! Isn't travel fun?

sirean_syan · « **Reply #186 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 06:10:56 AM »

Idol arrives... and I'm freaking tired. He is too, but he doesn't think he can get to sleep.

We'll see what happens.

Pugnate · « **Reply #187 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 06:22:44 AM »

Wooh! What are your first impressions?

sirean_syan · « **Reply #188 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 06:49:54 AM »

A little linear, but I think things will open up as things go on.

Pugnate · « **Reply #189 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 07:37:23 AM »

At least you meet the requirements. (I don't even know how that makes sense).

idolminds · « **Reply #190 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 07:46:55 AM »

I are here! And I can't sleep!

Quemaqua · « **Reply #191 on:** Saturday, March 31, 2007, 08:09:10 PM »

Okay, so we've officially managed to get Idol here in one piece, and now we're working on Pyro. He's coming in tonight at 10... looks like he managed to make his flight. Excellent. So hopefully Idol doesn't pass out too early, because I want to get me in some coop Gears of War, damn it!

EDIT - Okay, Pyro's here! Almost didn't make his flight, but by some miracle he did. So now we wait for keebs. I think we're all pretty exhausted, so it's time for unconsciousness.

Antares · « **Reply #192 on:** Sunday, April 01, 2007, 07:11:00 PM »

Awesome, glad to hear everyone got in town OK . I arrived back from my abreviated road trip this evening. It was a ton of fun, but I don't want to drive that much again for a long long time.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #193 on:** Monday, April 02, 2007, 02:16:40 AM »

Well, it's a shame you didn't make it out, but glad you had fun! We're having an awfully good time thus far as well. I'd type more, but it's 2 AM and I need sleep really bad.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #194 on:** Monday, April 09, 2007, 01:51:50 AM »

Tomorrow is the big picture posting day! I finally got my hosting shit squared away (and it only took fucking forever), and I also did a video montage that should be a little bit interesting to everyone but thoroughly enjoyable for those who made the trip.

Idol, Sy... get me your pictures, dammit!

Raisa · « **Reply #195 on:** Monday, April 09, 2007, 03:36:52 AM »

yay!!! it sounds like you guys had a load of fun. I wonder if I'll ever make it to one.

angrykeebler · « **Reply #196 on:** Monday, April 09, 2007, 09:26:14 AM »

Back at work...

(sigh)

God, I'm depressed.

Antares · « **Reply #197 on:** Monday, April 09, 2007, 05:02:43 PM »

Am I the only one disturbed by the lack of pics?
