Alrighty

All prepared and ready. I will be bringing my own blankets/pillows to the con. Rule. Weather is kinda shitty today. Cool and misty near the coast. Crappy on the bay side of the peninsula too. Weatherman is calling for a chance of rain tomarrow. It is supposed to be nice the rest of the weekend. For those times we do go out of the Hotel. For all those times. Like the time we left Ben on the Shitter to go to Bigsky Burgavich.

I hope you all have a good trip. Remember, if you need to get gas in the valley, do not get it until you are well north of the Grapevine. The stations in the vine and the ones within for the first 30 miles north of the vine are a bunch of thieves. I bet those hookers are over 3 bucks a gallon. The places after coalinga(~200 Miles from LA) are the best price wise.

Eat Eggs
thanks and thanks
Eric, you're weird.
Whatever u guys decide...

Jon: There is plenty of room, I have 1 small couch, 1 pullout futon bed, and a sleeping bag. I have several blankets, 2 pillows. It seems like I can accomodate 2 comfortable but maybe not 4. If Eric is going to drive, you might as well be comfortable and maybe bring a few extra pillows and blankets. It hasn't been that cold lately.

Eyrick: Address of the place is two zero zero zero Wal - nut ave Apt #H two oh five. Give me a buzz when you are here and i'll give you the gate key.

It's gonna be great!

I'll Pay Both Denis and My Shares
that sucks, but ohwell. my biggest thing was that splitting the cost for gas over 4 people is a lot cheaper than splitting it with 2. but whatever. see u guys tonight.
Eric's Neurosis Kick In

I would like to drive too. So we can caravan, and it will still be loads of fun! My reasons are this:

- Fundamentally I have a neurosis that rarely, if ever, allows myself to be driven by others, particularly on a long drive. I just need to be behind the wheel, call it control, call it whatever, I just feel better if I am behind the wheel.

- We need more room. My project, that really isn't much of a secret anymore, won't fit in Rudy's car, and I would like to bring it. Also, it just seems wrong to bring like 3 games because of space restrictions, so I can load up my backseat with stuff too, not to mention the room freed up by me (and probably Denis) not sitting the the Scion.

- Hopefully Denis will ride with me as co-pilot.

- I think we should caravan, unless that becomes to dangerous and then we can just meet up at points along the way or something like that.

Sorry to be weird, its just this thing I have. I am prepared to take all the jokes and crap for my decision!

PS I need your address again Johnny and your parking code so we can get to your place tonight and park! Call me! nine one eight eight seven zero zero!
I'll be at Eric's around 7:30, then. What about foodage? Should I eat beforehand, or should I plan on us driving thru somewhere?

I'm bringing five games, my li'l black bag, a backpack, some clothes, and an amusing book.

Johnny--blankets and pillows? do you have enough for everybodyz to use tonight, or do we need to bring those things?

The games I have on my desk are: Game of Thrones, Puerto Rico, Titan: The Arena, Citadels, and Programmer's Nightmare. Anything else?

Awesomeage!!!
Righty oh,

I'll try to be at Eric's around 7ism?

Games I'm packing:
Blood Bowl minis
Once Upon A time
Gregory Horror Show

have fun, doods!
try and get there by 7:30 if possible so we can pack it up and then try and leave before 8:30 - if thats cool. roll the dice!
Earlier?

It might be bettar to meet earlier, that way we get out of here at a decent hour and don't wake Johnny up at 4am, earlier is always bettar imho. Some points:

- Less is better this trip. There really is not as much room as you might remember there being, I checked the car today to see if I could load my Kubla-project and it will be difficult to the max. I think we are going to be limited to like 1 1/2 bags each and then perhaps 2 or 3 storage boxes of games total. Again, it would be good to get here early to check it all out.

- That being said, what should we bring? Other than Axis and Allies:D-Day, Bang!, and Blood Bowl, I don't know what to bring, if anything? As long as Battle Cry will be there, I'll be happy!

That is all for now.
OK, are we meeting up at Eric's at 8:30 tomorrow night, then? Eric, I'll be at yuor house by then.

Maybe on Sunday we should leave earlier than 10:30 so that we do not veer off the road causing Rudy's Scion to explode, but that's just me....
alight kiddoes...

when and where is everybody coming in at? I hope it's not 5 ocklock in the morning again =) I can be a little more appropriately dressed. I did have a shirt on, i think (not what eric said)... sleep pants, fo shizzle.

CONVENTIUN THYMES!!!

I'll buy an extra beer for michael, who'll be there in spirit! Hazzah!

Did you hear when he was trying to pronounce Abu Ghraib?

"Abu Gah... reb." He messed up a couple of times after that.

He probably hadn't heard of it before last night, though.
