Who wants to meet me? (Oregon gang, read this)

[Faeriefire]

I'm here in Seattle, if you decide to drop by after the visit to Oregon. I could even drive down there if it was easier. And I think RSA lives about 2 hours away from me, so if he was interested we could coordinate something. But if you do make a seperate trip up to Washington state, I'd be willing to find a place for you to stay.

[Werebear]

Where do you live in Seattle, FaerieFire? I used to live in the Lake City/Wedgwood districts... between them, actually, right by Nathan Hale High School.

[angelgurl]

i would be very honored to meet you but i'm not so sure you would like to come to Tullahoma, TN Water lives here also just on the other side of town. I am still in school and so is water and we both live with our parents so i alreazdy know that if you do end up coming here my mom would flip if she ever heard me ask something like that....I'm unsure about water's parents...........but just give me a little warning like about a week ahead I will try my best!

love always,
Kara (aka earth)

i will forever be

and that is to be supa's doll
so no one but him can call

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

im not quite sure, but, if you stop near Middletown, New York (in Orange county, near New Jersey and Pennsylvania) you might be able to stop and crash at my house for a night, if my parents allow. just email me (paulrei@hvc.rr.com) if you plan to come near and i'll ask.

[edit to fix email address]

I think the closest stop I saw was in ND. That's really sad. Regardless, I'm in WI, would love to see ya kiddo. You'll have to talk to me in IM about sleeping arrangements and such, but I'm sure something can be arranged.

[Elayne]

Well you can always come visit me in Indianapolis, Indiana. Of course then you'd have to play DDR.

You can play magic with Eykir and argue rules with him Might also get to see mass sappiness if L'l is in town.

Best time would be on a weekend.

[Ghost Post]

Much less than two hours, unless there's massive traffic. Come to Seattle! I'll take the bus down and we can have fun.

[Lepton]

Canada's not a very big place, you could meet Borschevsky and I somewhere between Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia.

I'd reccomend stopping by NYC...talk to Hatty and co. Another possible place to spend a day would be Ohio, although many of the GLers there are younger.

And if you happen to fly into YHZ (Halifax International Airport), give me a shout... (there's no-one else nearby, so it wouldn't be a very efficent desination, but we get lots of diverted planes )

I married my wife for her looks, but not the ones she's giving me lately.

[Ningal]

*obligatory post; evidently, despite the whole no-long-distance-travel factor, I need to post here like the rest of you so Antrax remembers that I want to pester him eventually*

[VinnyQ]

Antrax,

If you do decide to come to the D.C. area, let us know asap so we can plan a mini GL D.C. convention for it. We can do the D.C. monuments/museums/getting-drunk-in-GeorgeTown thing. Stay a day or two.

[VinnyQ]

Heck, if we plan it earlier enough, me & Huey could probably drive your bum to the next place you like to stop at. We are up to driving to NYC with you if you let us know in advance so we can take a few days off from work.

[Faeriefire]

Okay, silly of me to bump this, but I just must answer Werebear's question.
I actually live in the U District, well, more like on campus. I'm a husky! ~woof~

And, yes, COME TO SEATTLE ANTRAX!!!

[Pablo]

If you recall in Reply 3, I expressed an eagerness to meet you. Of course, now that I know you're fat, forget it.

[Fat Man With Butt Plug]

I have a skinny cousin who could meet you for a price?

[Nauplius]

The people on the coasts should keep you busy for some time, but if you do make it to the midwest, specifically the Omaha area, we could probably meet for a bite to eat.

Coyote: You live in Ontario? I grew up in Baker. Every summer my best friend and I would ride our bikes to Ontario and spend a weekend there.

[Pablo]

Hey Antrax - All kidding aside, if you do make it to the Northwest, I actually would like to meet you. I'm sure we'd have a good laugh.

[Courk]

I would like to invite you to the wild world of Ohio. I couldn't meet with you or do anything, but if you have a free day and you're in NW Ohio (Toledo area), spend the day at Cedar Point. Kidnap someone for company if no GLers in the area can go.

Keep in mind that Cedar Point would only be open in summer.

In NE Ohio there are a few land marks. Cleveland has the Browns, the Cavs, and the Indians (football, basketball, and baseball, respectively). All of them suck wookie, but if you have a free day in this area... Cleveland also has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Museaum of Natural History, the Science Museum, and an IMAX theater (which might be in the Science Museam).

Akron can offer the wonders of the former rubber capitol of the world. You can see the Goodyear headquarters, old tire factories that are now attempting to be office buildings, and old warehouses that still have soot on them. If you pass through here there's a good chance that you'll see The Spirit of Goodyear, a blimp. Some time in August (?) Akron hosts the All American Soap Box Derby. Kids build wooden "cars" and race them down a hill. Akron also has the Inventors Hall of Fame. It costs a lot to go in, and it sucks, but hey, it's here.

That's all IF you find yourself in Northern Ohio. Don't go out of your way

[Pablo]

You might have at least mentioned the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton . That's probably pretty famous in Israel.

[Coyote]

Not to mention the Cleveland Library, home to one of the world's largest collections of Chess Literature!!

_{...oh, and checkers, too. What a bunch of geeks those Clevelanders are.}

[Pablo]

How in God's name do you come up with this stuff?

[Antrax]

Bumping this for myself, so I can find it easily when I'm in the US. My current plan is to actually have two trips, one to the east coast, and one to the west coast, but I still don't know when I'll do either.

[Quailman]

Do try to fit in a visit to the third coast. You can see the National Museum of Funeral History during your stay.

[Lilifreid]

Confirming desire to be included in a Baltimore/DC meet up.

[VinnyQ]

^---- what she said.

[PuzzleProdigy]

I'd love to meet you in DC, but my parents are convinced that everyone on the internet is a perverted serial killer. I love the American mass media.

[Mr Nigma]

Hey, if you find yourself in Florida then stop on by my place.

Hang out, stay the night. Whatever. My roommate is never around (at least when I am) so no problem there.

There's Miami Beach (sorry, too cold for the topless bathers) and a decent-to-good (varies by opinion) mall fairly close enough to me.

We can play M:tG with my 5 year old decks. PS2. Dreamcast. More anime than you can shake a stick at (over 600 titles).

Wee.

And this offer goes out to any GLer. Er, most any.

[IsWife]

You are welcome to come and visit if you want. No matter what IS said. I also promise that IS will be good. (atleast when I am home)

[Lucresia]

I say all the Ohioans get together and we can have a "Meet Antrax Convention"

[HyToFry]

Hell... maybe I'll go visit Pablo too.

[Antrax]

Bumping to avoid premature pruning.

[chief ten beers]

Bullshit!
You, sir, put a padlock on a your own thread instead of deleting it! You obviously have the power to not prune without bumping!
Jew! No wonder everyone persecutes you people!

[chief ten beers]

~that last post was in jest and should be shuffled to "Pablo's Joke's about PVC price increases and other ironic and incorrect stuff", thread~

[Coyote]

Ehh...I don't think Ant's getting persecuted here on account of his religion anyway.

You're a sport, chief, but you need to work on your finesse just a bit:

-------------------

I may have to reconsider my invitation. I'm afraid Ant may padlock my house and move all my furniture to a more appropriate neighborhood.

-------------------

j/k Antrax

[chief ten beers]

Coyote.
I need to work on my finesse? Good advice.
Not, "good" really, "great" advice to live my life by.

How about if I email you all the funny shit that pops into my head before I post it...just to make sure Amos Armstrong hits a home run everytime?

[Coyote]

Sorry chief, just trying to avoid being tactful. I really don't know anything about baseball.

[chief ten beers]

Coyote! You bastard!

[chief ten beers]

oh, and ~bump~
I would like to meet Antrax.

[Lepton]

Yeah, I'm sure he has a few words for you too
