your taking me *cough*

[Rebirth0]

if you're up here, sure

[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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!)

[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.

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

The worst I could do is hug. ):

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.

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.

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.

[DrugstoreCowboy]

i know i can mess with hammy

and you're the bitch, bitch.




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
