The Revenge of Animarathon: FFR-Convention Part II

[nestlekwik]

It's that time of year again! Thankfully this year, the board of ANO didn't wait until the week before the event to verify our Animarathon status, thus, you have almost three months to plan for this. No excuses!

Animarathon
Saturday, March 29
10 a.m.-midnight
Bowling Green, Ohio
Olscamp Hall on the BGSU campus

Use an online service to get driving directions, but member traveling from the north or south of Bowling Green, Oh (43402) can access the city straight from I-75 (Exit #181) and members traveling from the east or west have immediate access to I-75 from the turnpike.

It's just too soon right now to verify who exactly will be there and what we plan to display this year, but if you keep tuned, we will update with the specifics as they become available. For now, just know I have secured a room just like last year and with the extra planning time, we'll be rocking out even harder than last year.

For any of the newer people who may be thinking, "Ohio? WTF?", etc., etc., check out http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/showthread.php?t=63073 Even though it's for last year's event, it still pretty much explains the whole ordeal.

You can also check out the event's official Web page at http://www.bgsu.edu/studentlife/organizations/anime/animarathon/

[DrugstoreCowboy]

Ill be there.. again.

[Tasselfoot]

I won't be there. Tass is poor.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

poor tass.

whos gonna abuse the mic this time?

[All_That_Chaz]

Sweet Jesus.
I will do everything I can to attend. I'll even drag Hammy along.

[EnR]

Sweet Jesus.
I will do everything I can to attend. I'll even drag Hammy along.

Come pick me up plz:(

[All_That_Chaz]

Is that exit 118 or 181? Because google maps is saying 181.

[nestlekwik]

Shoot, it might be 181. It's been a couple of years since I've lived out there so I'm foggy now. It probably is 181, though. I'll double check it and update.

Edit: Yeah, it is 181. I have it fixed in the original post now. Thanks for that.

[Aleste]

Ah, if only i had a car and a week off of work :P

You guys should do some kind of video montage of the event :)

[HammyMcSquirrel]

I'm planning on going to this. I'm carpooling with Chaz. =P

[All_That_Chaz]

Will new shirts (a la FFR T-Shirt Design Contest (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/showthread.php?t=84066)) be available at Animarithon?

[DrugstoreCowboy]

and chaz and hammy are staying at my house :D

[All_That_Chaz]

Hospitable Ricky is hospitable.

Seriously, thanks man.

[Zageron]

Can you guys set up a massive monitor / Camera system with a microphone?

Because then you can split the screen for webcams of people who can't attend, and then wee can see whats going on! :D

[DrugstoreCowboy]

no problem.

everyone is welcome :)

and zag.. thats what we did last year, if you werent here. i imagine its gonna happen again.

[Nightfirecat]

I'm not gonna be there. I live in the middle of nowhere (Washington). And I can't attend anything out of state.

Sucks to be me in high school.

[nestlekwik]

Can you guys set up a massive monitor / Camera system with a microphone?

Yeah, if you check my profile pictures, you can see a bunch of screen captures people took from the live feed we did last year. If all else fails, I'll use my camcorder to produce a video of the event. We would also plan on having merchandise at the event as long as we have some available.

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

Ok, So I was planning on trying to go to this this time, but there is no way that I'll be able to make it because I'll be getting back from Cabo San Lucas on the 29th and will have to make my way through customs and stuff. See if they can push it back a weekend.

[Sprite-]

oh man.... i really wanna go again. i might need to fly out. if there is an airport nearby please tell me, and it would be nice if someone could pick me up lol

[Coolboyrulez0]

I wish I could go but I can't(too far) :(
Not that anyone cares :'(

CBR

[DrugstoreCowboy]

sprite, if you fly to detroit metro airport, i can pick you up. its about 20 minutes away from my house.. and you can stay with me.. and chaz.... and hammy :)

[All_That_Chaz]

Hotel Drugstore?

I hope you have enough room, because Hammy hogs the covers.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

ahahaha.

i live in a pretty big house.

and the basement is pretty big.

[All_That_Chaz]

Just got my vacation day on 3/28 approved. I'm going to Bowling Green woo!

[Adamaja456]

i remember asking ricky to say my name while i was typing in the chat while he was at the convention
i<3you ricky

i wont be able to go so maybe ill talk to you again while your there hehe

[DrugstoreCowboy]

ill make you a sign :D

[rade0110]

I might actually go this year! I could even bring some crazy Minnesotans with me (No promises yet though).

[Chromer]

Seeing how I finally have my truck, I will do everything in my power to come. Ricky, you better get me mah Faygo boy. =P

[DrugstoreCowboy]

rofl, redpop?

[nestlekwik]

rofl, redpop?

If there is any way you could ever find Candied Apple Faygo, do it with all speed.

And, yes, I would fly Detroit Metro, Sprite. There is an airport in Toledo that puts you closer to the event, but the flight may not be nonstop and you'd have to figure out who is going to give you a ride.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

Man I havent had that flavor in so long.

Theres a faygo store in detroit that sells all sorts of things related to faygo. Maybe Ill try going there and seeing if they have it.

Because I think that flavor was discontinued.. but you never know what you'll find :)

[DarkManticoreX2]

mmmmmmmmm... As fun as last year's convention was, the drive was killer. If I do come, I need to plan it better then Friday night drive there, Saturday night drive home.

[All_That_Chaz]

Haha, wuss. I'm driving twice as far. =p

[Sir_Thomas]

Definetly we need to try and do something Friday or Sunday.
Everyone left RIGHT after the convention last year. I know you guys have a long ways home.


Well it was my fault for not arriving the night before until like 10 PM. Actually it was my retarded friends fault ^_^

Im pretty sure ill be out there.

No car so unless anyone is passing through Cleveland, Ill have to take a bus.

[FictionJunction]

Anyone driving from the St Louis area to the convention? I'm willing to go as far as Chicago to get a ride from someone.

Help a staff member, ++points if you do.

[edubardus]

Anyone driving from the St Louis area to the convention? I'm willing to go as far as Chicago to get a ride from someone.

he's a really nice guy and has gas money

I suggest someone take him to the convention.

[All_That_Chaz]

St. Louis to Chicago - 296 miles
St. Louis to Bowling Green - 473 miles

Why not just drive the whole distance?

[edubardus]

I'm an international student. I don't own a car.
If I find a bus service to that area I just might do that, but that's about half as fun.

[TN_RisingFire]

I will be there once again. Kudos to me for living in BG :)

[TS_SonicMaster]

I'm sure I'll be at this year's convention. I'm not too far a car drive away so I'll stop by, hang out for a few hours and meet everyone ;)

[SlayerApocalypse666]

I'm in Québec, Canada.....how long would it be to drive there.

[MixMasterLar]

I demand that, if Guido goes, someone tapes him and Nes playing Tekken 5 together so I'll know how much training I must do to be BETTER MUAHAHAHA

btw unless I get a hell of alot of cash I dont plan on going. Florida is a long drive

[All_That_Chaz]

I'm in Québec, Canada.....how long would it be to drive there.

It's 800 miles (1300km), way too far for a one day drive. Maybe take around 15 hours if you went straight there with a few stops.

[ddr_f4n]

If only I could have the perfect excuse to go there. Parents won't let me go only for this. :(

[Sprite-]

Hey thanks Ricky :). I'll have to find out if this airport actually goes there =/

[6 p01nt3d*st@r]

Eh. I need a ride.

I'll defintley get there though.

[chaingang13]

I'm trying to go with 6 p01nt3d*st@r but we live all the way in the Dayton area so hopefully we can make it this year

[ghount]

Wow, I wish I could go and bring AIDS, but I doubt it could happen.

[rsr2]

Me and Pornofish (http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/profile/pornofish/) plan to be there :D

[dandandamdandan1111]

Yess. I might be able to go. I have to save up enough money to pay for gas, food, etc. I will be turning 14 on Feb. 19th and I will be allowed to get a job, thus solving the money problem. The things that I'm most concerned about are gas and a hotel. My mom will probably split with them both, but I don't want to stay in a ****ty hotel. Well, let the saving begin!

[jellygod]

hey ricky, wanna give me a ride, i dont know how many other people are going with you but if you have room XD, pick me up.

[All_That_Chaz]

Since I'll be staying at Ricky's Friday night, I'm able to pick anyone up that he could. We could even caravan, haha.

[Sullyman2007]

Problem: I'm in Florida.
Solution: Roadtrip?
I'd really like to go, but can't say for sure. Anyone else live in Brandon, Florida area?

[jellygod]

hell yes chaz caravan lmao.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Sprite can you drive down to my house?

We could do the same thing you and tass did last year. I'm not going alone. One 7 hour trip by myself was bad enough.

[HammyMcSquirrel]

Hammy hogs the covers.
You liar. ):

[~HentaiXXX~]

Sucks to be 14.

I keep pushing my mom to say "ok", so maybe I'll be there, though I'll basically be alone. >.>

[Coolboyrulez0]

If someone drives me I love you lol you can pick me up from Orlando, I can get there.


Yes I am being serious.

[Sullyman2007]

wow forget driving.
from my house to bowling green: Total Est. Time: 17 hours, 8 minutes, Total Est. Distance: 1107.52 miles

il'l have to look into plane tickets at some point, i know some people that live up there as well.

[runescapedude1126]

Anyone driving from the St Louis area to the convention? I'm willing to go as far as Chicago to get a ride from someone.

Help a staff member, ++points if you do.

Im going to try to make it this year, and i live in michigan, but i have another thing going on a couple weeks before that where ill be close to chicago. ill see if i can make it there and if so i can try to give u a ride.

[rsr2]

If runescape can't, I can try. If I can go then sure i'll swing by. I have to drive from Michigan as well.

[meno_rocks123]

Total Est. Time: 35 hours, 48 minutes Total Est. Distance: 2437.35 miles
not happening for me.
no chance.
EDIT: I'd be driving thorough ~9 states

[rsr2]

It would take me 4 hours with no stops. If I pick up Fiction it will take me another 2-3 hours.

[Brilliant Dynamite Neon]

I would take me 4 hours as well, although I doubt my crab-ass parents can be bothered to drive me that far...

;_;

[ninjaKIWI]

my problem: ****ing Canada.

[Windscarredfaith]

Omfg. I want to make it this year, but I don't know how I'm going to get an excuse for my parents. Lol... especially when it's so far away. >< Maybe if Scottish goes, I'll hitch a ride from him. But other than that, gas will be a ton of money. T-T I wanna go.

[Raveren]

*sigh* Says the Texas resident.

[colt.45]

so are you making that banner nestle XD
and i do have a chance of going, since rebirth said he'd give me a ride if he did go :3 i just have to make sure im in missouri that week :^D

[ddr_f4n]

Well the only chance I might have is if my sister has a softball tournament in the same weekend, and her team joins it. But since it's only 4 and a half hours for me, I might be able to go regardless.

[Tasselfoot]

sprite... you're going to miss Raw Dog.

[mike2727]

man... I hate living in Canada and being 15... If only I could get picked up or something..

[Sprite-]

Sprite can you drive down to my house?

We could do the same thing you and tass did last year. I'm not going alone. One 7 hour trip by myself was bad enough.
If i was going to go, I'd probably take a plane from where i'm leaving from. I'll be up in Potsdam NY for school, which is next to Canada. I'm not going to drive.

sprite... you're going to miss Raw Dog.
and wtf?????

[DarkManticoreX2]

Same thing. I can drive people, if they can get to my house.

Seriously, ever single hotel in Bowling Green is on the road right across the road from the BGSU campus. All them are good locations, you just have to decide on quality vs. cheap.

They aren't already booked with convention-goers?

[Cosmic M]

dang, I'd show up but ill never convince my parents to let me miss school for this. Come time for 2009 convention, ill have a car, I can run away from home or something.

EDIT: Anybody in the New york tri-state area willing to help me escape? Its only like 600 miles drive from the city to the convention :)

[gnr61]

heh i might actually be able to go as i live in ohio rofl. who wants to let me stay at their house i cant afford a hotel =X

[nestlekwik]

They aren't already booked with convention-goers?

Nah. I think the only time a hotel books out in Bowling Green is around President's Day or just before fall semester when potential students come to check out the campus.

And, Cosmic M, if you arrange it properly, you won't miss any school. You'll just have a lot of fun driving. :)

gnr61, if you split the bill with someone, the hotel price isn't that bad. You can ask Tass what hole he stayed in last year. I'm pretty sure that was the cheapest place in town.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Nestle, You should edit in a list of eligable Drivers.

I'd be more than willing to take up to 5 people around the Philadelphia area. Or people who can get to the philadelphia area.

[EnR]

I wanna goez, but can't get teh ridez to teh Ohio.

Btw, I'm in Sudbury,Ontario. Near Detroit.

[MixMasterLar]

If I do go, Im crashing in at Nes' place to see how good Neko can cook dinner.

[Sprite-]

Me and Tass stayed in the Quality Inn last year. It's right across from the BGU campus and IIRC it was only 50 bux each when split in half for the night.

[Rebirth0]

I might come this year but I have school the two weeks in between the event. I could skip Friday and Monday of school so I can drive there and back on those two days.... maybe....

After my Minneapolis trip I learned that I could go somewhere far away on an extremely low budget, so I could maybe get a couple hundred dollars for this trip if I can find someone to let me stay in a hotel room with them for free rofl

[TN_RisingFire]

Quik... I didn't know that you left Bowling Green. When was that?

[One Winged Angel]

damn, i want to go....looks like fun :(

[DrugstoreCowboy]

Alright.

If Sprite and Manti came together.. you could come friday and stay at my house (30 minutes away from the convention) to avoid hotel fees, and you could stay either at my house that night if we drive back, or we could all split and get some rooms at a hotel.

If chaz can really pick up people, he should pick up Jellygod on the way to my house. He lives off of I-94, which is the expressway you'll be taking to get to my side of the mitten.

And if anyone down I-75 needs a ride, im sure we (me, hammy, chaz, jelly, sprite, manti, etc) could pick you up.

So who all is stayin at ricky's holidae inn? ;D

[nestlekwik]

If I do go, Im crashing in at Nes' place to see how good Neko can cook dinner.

You can't tell but I just finished laughing for 15 minutes.

I moved away from Bowling Green almost a year ago. Once I have some suitable money saved up, I'm going to be moving even farther away. lol

[Rebirth0]

If I'm taking two days out of school to drive, I'd want to stay around there during the convention (Saturday) and Sunday, so I could continue to do crap with FFR guys that day. Unless we all decide to go to Detroit and go destroy Ricky's house then thats ok

[colt.45]

Sure, I guess I'll pick people* up that are on the way and are staying wherever we are, which is at Ricky's on Friday and Saturday night.

Jelly, pm me with a phone number and your address if you want the ride. I'll pm you my personal information. Before this goes down (and this goes for anyone), I want to speak with your parents and make sure it's ok with them that you're getting a ride from a 23 year old stranger.

EDIT: *I don't really have any more room in my car...

[Rebirth0]

if you're up here, sure

[rade0110]

You don't have to be a stranger to me ;D

[All_That_Chaz]

You don't have to be a stranger to me ;D

So show up and we'll make out or something...

Really I have no idea what you were going for there.

[MixMasterLar]

You can't tell but I just finished laughing for 15 minutes.

haha, dont know if that's good or bad lol

btw, Laugh yourself over to Rithum and check your PMs....know you've been waiting on that

[EnR]

Anyone near Ontario that could give lil ol' me a ride xD:D:D

Btw, I'm 4 hours from the border to detroit.

[Tasselfoot]

Hotel should be in the 50-70 per night range, IIRC. split between 2 people 1 night and 3 people 1 night... wasn't bad at all. plus gas split between 2 people. *shrugs*.

[sk8mastr]

33hour drive est 2300miles..
19hour drive if i drive
Dragging darkshark out.. impossible
flying.. expensive and i get hungry fast
cranky without internet for more than 11seconds
I hate airplane peanuts and expensive gas.
Ill try and make it anyway XD

[Cosmic M]

Drugstore, im working on getting a ride, im 75% sure i can come, if i get one, am i able to stay at your place or is it too crowded already?

[nestlekwik]

Drugstore: How far are you away from Ann Arbor again? Since so many people are staying at your place, maybe it would be better to do a Friday meetup in Ann Arbor instead of having you guys drive all the way down to Bowling Green. For the people hitting Bowling Green that day, I have room in my car for 1-2 people. I depends on who I end up going to the event with and how comfortable people are squishing in my back seat.

Then, Sunday, I'm down with whatever.

[Sir_Thomas]

I think I may be able to help out but that depends on whether or not im going with a friend or by myself.
Really what we should do is all pitch in and get a decent sized room so we pay like nothing :).

Im totally cool with sleeping with strangers... wink wink.


ALSO you could totally crash on the couches in the student center place where the arcade is. I was in there til 4 AM without anyone saying anything. We could get tents and have an FFR tourny on there macs.

Wait... ew... FFR on a Mac

[nestlekwik]

Actually, I wouldn't advise sleeping on the couches at the student union. Sitting around is one thing, but the campus security is pretty prick about people sleeping on them. Just get a hotel room and cram it with people - it won't cost you much at all. Bring sleeping bags or pillows or something and make it a slumber party. If you split the cost, it really isn't that bad.

I approve of this message. Hammy and I (and jelly?) should be getting to Ricky's around dinner on Friday, we should all go out Friday night.

[rsr2]

Ann Arbor meet up would be sweet. I could say Hi to everyone and stay at the Holiday inn at Pontiac. (I love that hotel!!!!)

[Sir_Thomas]

LOL i had no idea you slept there rofl. bum

I said I stayed there til 4 AM.

My friend was sposed to pick me up after work and took 2 hours to fking get there.
He goes to College in Toledo which is like 20 minutes away.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

Im less than an hour away from ann arbor. or maybe right at an hour. its really not that far.

and dude. that holiday inn in pontiac is amazing :)

whatever you guys want. i dont have to work friday, saturday or sunday that weekend. So im free from Thursday afternoon at 5:00pm til monday morning :)



edit- cosmic.. im fine with it. but i'd have to talk to your parents too, only because you're 15 and im 19.. and theres gonna be other 18+ strangers here. and i have to let them know that hammy gets a little too touchy-feely when he gets nervous. ;)

[revolutionomega]

We need to get something closer to NY =[. We should organize independent meetups in various parts of the U.S. based on # of members within a certain radius. Anyways, I wish I could go to this and meet a bunch of people, but I doubt I could go unless I'm extremely fortunate and have nothing to do that wkend.

[rsr2]

and dude. that holiday inn in pontiac is amazing :)



Its one of my favorites.

[All_That_Chaz]

hammy gets a little too touchy-feely when he gets nervous. ;)

I secretly think Hammy gets really offended when we make assumptive allusions to his lifestyle. =/

[HammyMcSquirrel]

hammy gets a little too touchy-feely when he gets nervous. ;)
The worst I could do is hug. ):

I secretly think Hammy gets really offended when we make assumptive allusions to his lifestyle. =/
Haha, I'm not offended by that. It's obvious that what Drugstore said had no offensive tone to it, and it's easy to tell he's messing around. Either way, nothing wrong with being "touchy-feely". Sounds pretty hot. =P

Edit: I mean, what the ****, Drugstore? I hate you. You asshole, how could you say that?

Bitch.

[Soldat_of_life]

From Quebec (Quebec), so it's quite a while away. I did go to Otakon 2007, which cost me roughly 500$ (16$ ''Allô Stop'' to go to montreal, 112.50$ round trip with greyhound from Montreal, 100$ for 3 nights in a hotel room with 5 other people I had met on the net, 50$ registration costs, 130$ of personal spending cash, 30$ of taxi drive from bus station to hotel and back after, 40$ ish from Montreal to Quebec since Allô Stop was closed when I got back).

Though you do need a passport to get into the states, which means the following:

birth certificate
''carte d'assurance maladie''
can't remember if you need ''Carte d'assurance sociale''
around 80$ for the passport
asking it about one month in advance before the trip or else you might not get it on time....

WARNING: Greyhound isn't a fun ride.....and it was 13 hours ride, being at Baltimore, MD. Ohio seems at a similar distance, though might take a little more time. I haven't been a member of FFR for very long and this event doesn't seem as fun/crazy as Otakon, so I'll probably not go this year, but who knows for 2009 ;)


I hope you all have fun so that next year it becomes THE even to go at.

+Soldat+

[DrugstoreCowboy]

i know i can mess with hammy :)

and you're the bitch, bitch.

:D


edit- soldat.

you don't need a passport to get to the states through Michigan at least. all you need is a birth certificate. I would know. I'm 19 and i like to partake in scandalous events such as legal drinking and happy ending massages in Canada.

edit2 - im kidding about happy ending massages. they're too expensive ;D

edit3 - you dont need a social security card either.

[nestlekwik]

Three months away and there's already six pages in the thread. So far, this should prove to be far more epic than last year, especially if we actually do the night out on the town the day before/after.

[rsr2]

It would've been more epic if I was there! Jk

[DrugstoreCowboy]

well im up for it. OR BOTH ;D

and i want colt to come :D

[All_That_Chaz]

absolutely both.

[Tasselfoot]

Actually, I wouldn't advise sleeping on the couches at the student union. Sitting around is one thing, but the campus security is pretty prick about people sleeping on them. Just get a hotel room and cram it with people - it won't cost you much at all. Bring sleeping bags or pillows or something and make it a slumber party. If you split the cost, it really isn't that bad.

let's all play "IF IT TOUCHES YOU, PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH!"

[nestlekwik]

Oh, yeah, I thought of this since people keep whining about the FFR Convention pic (which was done by our user nforcer I should add) having the 2007 text on it:

Have an FFR convention picture contest where the winner gets to be the official logo of 2008 FFR conventions and for the Animarathon event, we get the picture printed on a banner and have all of the FFR members present at the event sign it. Then we send the banner to the winner, along with maybe a few other goodies.

Good idea, or no?

[DrugstoreCowboy]

lol.

i suppose its a good idea :D

[nestlekwik]

lol.

i suppose its a good idea :D

If it touches you, you put it in your mouth or the contest?

[rsr2]

both lol

[DrugstoreCowboy]

i put everything in my mouth ;D

and yes. lets have a contest. get it going nes

[rsr2]

i put everything in my mouth ;D



Im thinking about sigging that. But yes do the contest Nes

[Hazelle]

I would go as i live only an hour and half away but oh thats right.
I DONT DRIVE. =( Ah well. Have fun you hooligans :)

[DrugstoreCowboy]

lol where do you live? someone might be able to pick you up.. i mean theres people coming from the east west and north, and im sure someone is coming from the south..

[Hazelle]

cleveland. :/

[All_That_Chaz]

Hey Ricky what consoles do you have? I could bring an assortment of games for Friday/Saturday night.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

bring your consoles too.. lol.

all i have is an xbox, nintendo, and atari.

[All_That_Chaz]

lol atari.

hmmm, maybe i'll bring my wii. I think the only multiplayer games i have for that are dragonball z bt2 and 3 lol. well, and guitar hero but I only have one guitar. and i guess wii sports but those got lame quick.

or maybe I could bring n64 + smash bros =p
only have 2 controllers though...

[DrugstoreCowboy]

i have n64 controllers. bring it.

ill dominate everyone in super smash bros.

and if you have mario kart, bring that too :D

[All_That_Chaz]

nope sorry don't have it.

i somehow managed to own an n64 without mario 64, mario kart, ocarina of time, majora's mask and bond.

[KlingPosnot]

I wish I could go...but I live too far away, and I don't have a license =/

[Silver_Brian]

2,301 mi – about 1 day 9 hours

Excellent.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

well, my friend has mario kart.. or i could rent it.. no big deal :)

but yes, bring n64 =]

[All_That_Chaz]

Oh, yeah, I thought of this since people keep whining about the FFR Convention pic (which was done by our user nforcer I should add) having the 2007 text on it:

[All_That_Chaz]

:D
idk who i'd stay with though :/

With everyone else staying at Hotel Drugstore, duh.

[The5thMoon]

Rofl If I was her I would be scared to fall asleep.

[Cosmic M]

Eh, drugstore, consider me not there, my ride's mom (he is f***ing 18 make decisions for yourself!) said no. Its a shame too because i have all N64 games that anybody could want to play, and 6 controllers. If some miracle occurs, ill post here again.

omg, if i could go, i'd knee you like there was no tomorrow

[AK_Parker]

I highly doubt I have a chance of going...I live in Long Island, New York, if SOMEHOW I could go and "visit my family" down in Ohio, then I could possibly go. I could most likely take 1 or 2 of my friends from FFR, but meh, we'll see.

[Ponygonpwns]

My parents would never let me go to this. Oh, well. I live in California, so it would take a while anyway.

[DarkManticoreX2]

omg, if i could go, i'd knee you like there was no tomorrow

Somehow I think Samus's foot of death > your knee.

Actually, I wouldn't advise sleeping on the couches at the student union. Sitting around is one thing, but the campus security is pretty prick about people sleeping on them. Just get a hotel room and cram it with people - it won't cost you much at all. Bring sleeping bags or pillows or something and make it a slumber party. If you split the cost, it really isn't that bad.

Kwik I was TOTALLY joking ^_^.
I only said that because I was stuck at the Student Union and no one ever said anything about me being there til 4:00 AM.


I actually planned everything out with a friend including which hotels we are staying at and how much it will be for gas.

Drugstore: How far are you away from Ann Arbor again? Since so many people are staying at your place, maybe it would be better to do a Friday meetup in Ann Arbor instead of having you guys drive all the way down to Bowling Green. For the people hitting Bowling Green that day, I have room in my car for 1-2 people. I depends on who I end up going to the event with and how comfortable people are squishing in my back seat.

Then, Sunday, I'm down with whatever.


Kwik I thought the same thing tonight.

I talked to my friend about the convention and asked if he would wanna go. I mentioned Ann Arbor and told him I would want to head out down there Friday.

Actually I figured thats what day we would meet up if we DID do a meet up in Ann Arbor...
Its only logical.

People have to leave Sunday so Friday would be the best time.


ANYWAY
Me and my friend literally planned everything already...

Friday:
We are heading out to Ann Arbor around 11:00 PM and getting a hotel... On 94 there is a hotel for 83 dollars a night called Best Western Executive Plaza. We are staying there Friday.

Saturday:
Going to the convention Saturday morning and getting a hotel at Sleep Inn or whatever its called. Not sure if you guys want to do something AFTER the convention but if you all do, thats cool.

Sunday:
This all depends if you guys are going to do anything.


let's all play "IF IT TOUCHES YOU, PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH!"

;) ;)

[Silver_Brian]

My parents would never let me go to this. Oh, well. I live in California, so it would take a while anyway.

We can have our own convention out here. =)

[Sir_Thomas]

Or you, pony and Tass can get together and, if you wish really hard, maybe you will teleport here.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

im pretty sure me and yoshi will destroy all of you, fyi.

[nestlekwik]

I would advise getting into the area on Friday as soon as you can. If you aren't getting to Ann Arbor until 11 p.m., the latest I will be staying there is between midnight - 1 a.m, so, yeah, that doesn't leave us much time to do things on Friday. I was hoping to leave from here so I can be in Ann Arbor at roughly 7 p.m. Everyone can just meet at Pinball Pete's and I'll have my cell phone on me for the people that are showing up. That's how I enivision it at least.

Like I said, if enough staff shows up, I'm sure we're going to want to have some sort of meeting, and that would most likely happen on Sunday. So, Saturday and Sunday will probably operate on the fly as we actually know what is going on.

[Specforces]

If Rebirth picks up Edu and I, we're going.

Oh, and iPatch

[MixMasterLar]

Nothing wrong with at least one day on the fly lol

And guys, when it comes to the N64 SSB my Link pwns all....'cept if I go Im bringing all my other fighters like Fatal Fury, KoF00, Tekken5, VF4E and Street Fighter 3+.

ps what all Staff is planning on going?

[DrugstoreCowboy]

late one in ann arbor. but im sure we'll do it :)

i think i still have your number nes.

[All_That_Chaz]

"Pinball Pete's?"

Am I to assume that I'm driving to Ricky's and then we're going to Ann Arbor together or are we meeting there first?

[DrugstoreCowboy]

you can just come to my house and we'll all go there.. unless you want to just meet there, because it is on the way to my house. but i didnt know how late or early you were getting here.

im all yours for the whole day :D

[IBEATSUMOWRESTLERS]

well hallo to the many that dont know me...but ill take a bus out of NYC n say hallo to yall...maybe =) so yar march 29?...seems good =)

[IBEATSUMOWRESTLERS]

GG...i thought i was on my other name...sorry for the double post. this is purodominicano =D

[All_That_Chaz]

We can get to your place as early as say 4:30-5pm.

I guess I would rather leave my car at your place and then squeeze everyone into one car to go to Ann Arbor. Although if I end up picking up Jelly that might be impossible if Sprite and Manti are already going to be at your place.

[dore]

Well, I might try to go, although it probably won't happen. Seems like the cheapest airfare is $206, and I dunno how my parents would like driving me out there. It's only 9 hours but I doubt that's good enough for them for FFR :)

Although I could almost definitely go if it were one week earlier, where I have a 7-day weekend. Dammit.

[Eternal_0]

I can't go. I'm poor and in Florida. T~T

[rsr2]

Hey Ricky :D Im going to go pick up flipsta at Toledo, So im going to arrive around 2pm. Pick him up then come back around 4.

[Specforces]

I really hope I get to go to this.

[MixMasterLar]

alotta people here in Florida

[Chromer]

Total Est. Time: 11 hours, 11 minutes

HOLY HELL.

I don't know about you guy but this is looking a little out my league now. >_>

[DrugstoreCowboy]

I really hope I get to go to this.

well yeah, its not everday the 2007 hottest male would get to stay at my house ;D

[Rebirth0]

I could have an excuse to be gone for the weekend, but I don't know what I can do about being truant from school on Friday and the school calling home about it.

What I WANT to do is skip Friday and Monday of school, and drive to and from Ohio on those days, so I can have two days to do crap around there. But, I might have to get there Friday and leave Sunday morning or something. Not sure

And I'm also taking Spec, Edu, ipatch, colt or whoever wants me to take them if they're around here as long as they pay for some stuff. I'd advise anyone who's coming with me to bring around $300 cash or debit cards or something

[Phynx]

Hey sure! Stay at my place, it's pimpin'. :) Of course you're welcome Phynx. You're ma' budday!

If I can muster up another $200 I am going to land at Detroit Metro and after reading what you told sprite, I hope I could crash at your place lol. :) God I need $200 dollars, someone fork some money for me please?

[flipsta_lombax]

Hey Ricky :D Im going to go pick up flipsta at Toledo, So im going to arrive around 2pm. Pick him up then come back around 4.

I'm going to have to set up the accomodations before we get there because it already seems Hotel Drugstore hardly has any vacancy, lol. And it's me and pete. ;o We are arriving at the Toledo Express airport maybe around 12:58PM (me most likely, but I dunno about Pete).

EDIT: brb forking monies

EDIT2: Sorry phynx ;( No luck

[DarkManticoreX2]

Global Advertisment.

Manti will drive anyone from NJ, eastern PA, deleware. I really don't care. If you want a ride, Leave me a PM. If you're coming from Nj/Ny you just need to get to my house. Which I'll send you my address if you PM me.

I might take a train if i'm the only one coming from my area.

[6 p01nt3d*st@r]

Ok, Me and chaingang13 got a ride there.

[Coolboyrulez0]

So no one's gone give this poor kid a ride?
Shame on you. All of you. Except nestle, he's cool.

[nestlekwik]

Yeah, unless the Florida you live in is Florida, Ohio (for real, it exists, about 15 minutes away from me), I can't help you out too much.

[sarahxjane]

5 and a half hours from Bowling Green.
Half hour from the US/Canada border.

Anyone want to drive me?
;]


How much is registration anyways?
And will shirts ( if you bring them ) be the same cost as in the online store?

I won't stay overnight if I go, but would there be any other expenses?

Just wondering.
:]



Note to other Canadians:
I heard that we need passports to get into the United States now, as of this month.
=/

[Nyokou]

Let's go together, Chromer. :] lolol.

[nestlekwik]

You do not have to pay to get into Animarathon. The costs at the event are if you choose to buy raffle tickets for the prize drawing (how the club earns money to do things) or if you choose to buy something from a vendor. This also means you do not have to pre-register (but when you arrive, the organization does ask you sign in so they can keep tabs on the event attendence). The free admission is the great thing about attending the event and representing FFR.

With T-shirts, obviously, we do not charge shipping and handling while at an event. I won't give specific prices on shirts right now, though, because I don't want to speak for Synth and Jasonkey. Ultimately, they will decide how much to charge, but last year, yes, they were sold at a slightly lower price than from the online store.

With the volume of members planning to head out to the event, you might be able to share a hotel room if you are comfortable enough to do so at a low cost.

But, to sum it up, ultimately the cost of your trip is whatever you need for gas and food, and then tack on lodging if you plan on making it a weekend. In no way are you required to spend money at the event itself.

[sarahxjane]

Thank you very much.

:]

[Rebirth0]

Do you know if the new shirt design will be printed out and will be on sale during the convention?

Since there's nothing on the top half of the shirt, it'd be a great shirt for having people signing it. (I'm talking about the light blue shirt with the arrow chart thing at the bottom, because we all know its going to win the contest) I'll be having the cool people sign a shirt if I can buy that one

[nestlekwik]

I believe I heard the goal was to have something new done for the convention. It may be the new contest T-shirt design, but I can't say for sure. If new shirts are at the convention, since they would be fresh off the press, it is a possibility the shirts may not be discounted, though (minus shipping obviously). I really have nothing to do with the merchandise, so I don't want to start saying things that aren't true.

For those who don't have credit cards, etc., we do also allow you to purchase subscriptions at the event, but I can't remember if the minimum length was 3 months or 6 months. I think it was 3 months, though, and it believe it worked similar to buying a gift sub.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

fyi, anyone and everyone can stay at my house. you just might have to sleep on a couch or on a floor. no big deal, considering it is free and you get to hang out with lots of cool ffr people.. and you'll be on an island.

and sarah, if you get to the US/Canada border through michigan, i can pick you up. its only 10 minutes away from my house.. either the tunnel or bridge.

[Specforces]

Party at Drugstorecowboy's house.

[flipsta_lombax]

Hey drugstore, it seems that I may get a ride from manticore. =) So I might end up staying at your house. Is that cool? =D

[nestlekwik]

Party at Drugstorecowboy's house.

Are you guys even going to be able to sleep? lol I hope you do because 10 a.m.-whenever we close up shop is a long haul, especially if people join us for a night out in Ann Arbor on Friday.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

rofl, im sure we wont sleep at all.

but it'll be okay. :)

and yes flip, like i said, anyone is welcomed.. as long as you dont mind the floor :) (or if you can find a chair or couch.

i have:
my room with MY bed :)
empty bedroom with one bed.
4 full size couches
2 chairs
and a whole lot of floor.

[flipsta_lombax]

[DarkManticoreX2]

I claim empty bedroom with 18 year old Shashatwist.

[Coolboyrulez0]

O well guess I can't go maybe I am too young anyways ;P

I'll join you guys in 2 years, when I can drive, I swear.

[All_That_Chaz]

Age before beauty. That bed is mine.

[DarkManticoreX2]

I'll arm wrestle you for it.

[Crashfan3]

Gahhh... I'll do everything I can to make it but there's a 90% chance I won't be there.
Will there be an FFR Convention 2011? I have a better chance of being able to make it to that one. >.>

[All_That_Chaz]

I'm old and frail. Calvin & Hobbes trivia contest?

[Sir_Thomas]

I would advise getting into the area on Friday as soon as you can.

**** sorry. I meant 11:00 AM ROFL.

We are leaving early in the morning and will get there around either 11:00 am OR 12:00 pm.

[Specforces]

We'll have Shasta decide who she wants sleeping next to her, mmkay?

[All_That_Chaz]

biased, sexiest male of 2007

[Sir_Thomas]

Tehe we are gettin a hotel with da pools and stuff.

[Specforces]

Bar run if there's time and we don't have to get up early, amirite?

[All_That_Chaz]

I'd much rather just make a liquor run and pass out whenever the fancy strikes me. I bet the kids at Ricky's would prefer that too.

[DarkManticoreX2]

Yes sir commander of TBG Army.

Also, we will see who Shasha wants to sleep next to. Oh yes we will.

@ chaz, we're going to have to see how Ricky's parents feel about a bunch of kids getting drunk and passing out at their house.

[Specforces]

Yeah, usually I'll provide for my friends that are underage but really I'm not all for providing for a bunch of kids from FFR when I'm supposed to be setting a good example.

I might not set a good example on FFR but IRL I like to keep it at a good example.

[All_That_Chaz]

You guys are no fun.

Fine, I'll be good.

[Phynx]

Okay so I've verified that I can in fact go, no objections from my parents... the only obstacle now is getting a few hundred bucks from them... :/ This is gonna be difficult. I should just take a $400 loan XD ROFL!

[Chromer]

Let's go together, Chromer. :] lolol.

I'd love to go. I could drive but that's an 11 hour drive and I'd be pretty wired on energy drinks lol.

[Rebirth0]

Bar run if there's time and we don't have to get up early, amirite?

On Friday, I'd be getting up at like 6 or 7 AM and leaving around then, picking you guys up around 11 AM or noon or something, then we'd try to get into town at around 7 or 8 PM.

If we're doing **** at Ann Arbor that night, we'd be about an hour or 90 minutes from the convention. So we could wake up at 9 or 10 AM on Saturday

Sunday... not sure if we're going to stay in town or leave that day. It all depends on if I can find a way to stay out of the house without parents knowing anything (which is going to be HARD when I have school Friday and Monday). So if we leave Sunday, it'd have to be really ****ing early. Like 5 or 6 AM because its about a 12 hour drive from Ricky's house to mine, nonstop.

Hopefully some of you guys who's going with me can drive, because I'm not counting on driving the whole way

[DrugstoreCowboy]

fyi, i have the most comfortable bed so more than likely shasta will sleep with me ;D

[Phynx]

fyi, i have the most comfortable bed so more than likely shasta will sleep with me ;D

Dibs on the softest, most comfortable couch in your house.... BAM! There I called it, no party fouls allowed. That couch is mine.

[Specforces]

I'm used to driving long distances, like 18 hours at time. Really, I wouldn't mind at all.

[MixMasterLar]

Ricky, where the hell will your folks be? dont tell me they said you could have the site over rofl

and if I go, Im bringing my old Civil War reenactment bed...I think it's called a calt? been years since I went to see one of those rofl....my dad got outta it when I was 5 years old.

[flipsta_lombax]

I'd much rather just make a liquor run and pass out whenever the fancy strikes me. I bet the kids at Ricky's would prefer that too.

;O I can recall a time us saying that whenever we meet, we'll have a little drink and such.

Jw. ;P

[Sir_Thomas]

Yeah, usually I'll provide for my friends that are underage but really I'm not all for providing for a bunch of kids from FFR when I'm supposed to be setting a good example.

I might not set a good example on FFR but IRL I like to keep it at a good example.

Yeah you go and set your good example. :)

Me and 3 of my friends are coming along and getting a hotel room so we plan on drinking either way... Either going out with you guys or back at the hotel.


I bet Drugstore is going to have a fun game of 'WHATEVER TOUCHES YOU PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH' at his house Friday or Saturday night ;).

[DrugstoreCowboy]

my parents will be here, but since my house is the closest they said they wouldnt mind.

no swearing or drinking, however. :)

[rsr2]

Thats going to be difficult not to swear lol

[bender5]

Good luck getting a bunch of kids at your house and not having a single one of them swear

[rsr2]

I was just thinking that too. Im pretty sure eventually someone will slip up...

[DrugstoreCowboy]

im sure my parents arent gonna even be home, and even if they are, im pretty sure they wont be around us.. and once again if they are, im sure they're not gonna care if anyone that is like. 18+ swears.

i mean, everyone that is coming (that i know of) is at least 18.

[flipsta_lombax]

I was just thinking that too. Im pretty sure eventually someone will slip up...

That'll be me. ;( I'm trying to stop the habit of saying ****, but frankly, I doubt I'll be saying much since I'm a complete strangarz. x'P

[rsr2]

I'm pretty sure I'd slip up. D: I have the mouth of a sailor. I'll try my best not to swear, even though I like not saying much around new people.

I do too but for some reason, if I meet people I never swear. Once you know I swear all the time.

Also Drugstore. Im 17....

[Phynx]

im sure my parents arent gonna even be home, and even if they are, im pretty sure they wont be around us.. and once again if they are, im sure they're not gonna care if anyone that is like. 18+ swears.

i mean, everyone that is coming (that i know of) is at least 18.

Yeah, just thought I'd share, I'm coming! YAY! Oh yeah, I'm 18 so it's cool. I swear a LOT but I am good at retaining in the case of decency for your parents... given that you are cool with me kickin' it at your place. Haha, I still have dibs on the best couch in the house :D

[HammyMcSquirrel]

Haha, I'm cool with sleeping on the ground and you won't have to worry about me swearing in front of your parents. The rest of you swearing maniacs can go fight to the death for the spare bed or couch or whatever.

[Phynx]

Haha, I'm cool with sleeping on the ground and you won't have to worry about me swearing in front of your parents. The rest of you swearing maniacs can go fight to the death for the spare bed or couch or whatever.

Haha, yeah, watch we'll all show up paranoid about swearing in front of his parents and everyone will be like quiet cause' not one will be able to talk without throwing out cuss words. XD $20 on me being the first to swear XD

[sarahxjane]

and sarah, if you get to the US/Canada border through michigan, i can pick you up. its only 10 minutes away from my house.. either the tunnel or bridge.


Well, neat.

Your parents must be pretty cool to allow so many strangers stay over.
:razz:

Over 18 or not.

:]

[flipsta_lombax]

Haha, yeah, watch we'll all show up paranoid about swearing in front of his parents and everyone will be like quiet cause' not one will be able to talk without throwing out cuss words. XD $20 on me being the first to swear XD

I'll bet against that. xP

[rsr2]

Same here. Ill Take that bet. I could bring my own couch!!! lol

[DrugstoreCowboy]

i bet that we're only here to sleep friday and/or saturday night.

it all depends on what were doing later, we might end up doing the hotel thing saturday like last year.

[Sir_Thomas]

I can picture a lot of swearing after the first person initiates the 'WHATEVER TOUCHES YOU PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH' game.

i bet that we're only here to sleep friday and/or saturday night.

it all depends on what were doing later, we might end up doing the hotel thing saturday like last year.

I thought you left early last year.

Anyway that would rock with the hotel thing.

Im getting a hotel out or around BG.
Anyone staying at a hotel should try and make it the same as others.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

"IF IT TOUCHES YOU, PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH!"was the exact quote.

so not whatever and whoever.

and yeah, we left the convention early last year, but we just got a hotel and drank the night away, duh.

[chunky_cheese]

I must go this time, hangin' out with DSC ;O

[DarkManticoreX2]

Driving Flipsta down there, Might be picking up Thunderstrike687 along the way. Now I'm commited to coming.

Probably going to get there around 4 or 5 in the afternoon.

*edit* No, I haven't gotten any better at DDR.

[Specforces]

I'm only getting alcohol if we play "guess who's in my mouth?"

[Nyokou]

Oh well Chromer. :[

I might be able to make it next year though. If it happens again. This could be an annual thing.

[Rebirth0]

We need more in different places in different times of the year

[foilman8805]

We need more in different places in different times of the year

I'm sure Tass wouldn't mind one in or around the LA area.

I wouldn't either. :D

[Phynx]

I'm sure Tass wouldn't mind one in or around the LA area.

I wouldn't either. :D

That would be great for me. I live closer to LA :)

[EnR]

We need more in different places in different times of the year

Canada.

[foilman8805]

Canada.

No.

[Phynx]

Twin Falls, Idaho. At the CSI campus. :)

[EnR]

No.

There needs to be one in Canada, there's a lot of Canadians on ffr, and it's a pain to go to the U.S. You guys get to go to conventions all the time, we never do.

There needs to be one in Canada, there's a lot of Canadians on ffr, and it's a pain to go to the U.S. You guys get to go to conventions all the time, we never do.

Move to the U.S :) Easy and simple solution to your problems.

A nice cruise down the 101 to an FFR convention? I'm there with you, man.

Been a while since I've been on FFR, but last year's convention was pretty fun. If Sprite, Ricky and Manti will be there again, I'll go. Got a new car and a GPS this time around, so better gas mileage (27 per gallon average) and better navigation is a very good thing.

Last year was the very first official one I think. Any meetups before that were just things users put together
