What State are you from?

[octobomb]

hello everyone! im octobomb from the state of hawaii, are any of you from hawaii? id love to hang with other people if you are.

this was my first post and thread, i think it would be cool if everyone stated what state they are from, because we might not be as far from each other as a few may think.

octobomb- "Hawaii"

[DragonFireKai]

Oregon, and I spend a decent chunk of time in Washington.

[Arek the Absolute]

living in Tennessee now going to move to Washington some time during summer.

[Arek the Absolute]

When did San Diego chose to be it's own state?

[DragonFireKai]

When did San Diego chose to be it's own state?

When they fired Marty Schottenhiemer after a 14-2 season, San Diego's ego became so large that it developed it's own gravitational orbit. they were declared a state, shortly thereafter.

I Is From Warshingtons

[RealFolkBlues]

Guys, give him a break, he's a noob. I'm sure we can extend the idea of the thread to provinces, territories, etc.

I was born and raised in North Carolina, specifically right here in good old Asheville. Yup, stillll herrreee. If I didn't love this town (and the state, for that matter,) I'd be quite pissed.

Don't get me wrong, I love Georgia. I just can't stand the city of Atlanta. If I was in Newnan or Alpharetta most of the time, I'd really love it here. But living in the city just reminds me too much of home.

I'm interviewing at CCM in a few weeks (though it's alarming that they haven't yet confirmed this. I've never failed a portfolio check, so I think they screwed up and didn't send a letter. I just emailed them about it), so there's a chance that I might be around!

DC13 is responsible for getting me involved here, actually. I watched him poke around on the site before I joined myself. missed his new year's LAN this time around because he had to have it a week late (stupid magfest). Still can't believe how much facial hair he's sporting lately...:razz:

[Abadoss]

I'll be in Portland during springbreak. Recommend any good restaurants? A friend that I'm visiting said Portland has the greatest burger place (Cornerstone?) in the world.

I'm not familiar with Cornerstone. If it's a fairly upscale place then I'd probably believe it does. However, we do have Burgerville, which is pretty good. It's basically the Northwest's response to In-and-Out.

The real trick is whether or not you have money to spend. El Gauchos - downtown at the Benson Hotel - is amazing, but it's really high priced. So are most of the really good restaurants in the Pearl - such as Paragon and that Peruvian place that I can't remember the name of. There are several Gustav's around town. Really good German food that's not too expensive. Plus, they have fondue. Old Chicago, Applebee's, and Red Robin are kind of the staple cheap, but nice sit down places. Oh! And there's also the Montage - under the Burnside Bridge. They have really good cheesecake.

Aside from that, there's a whole bunch of various cafés and restaurants scattered all over the place. You can't go two blocks without finding a coffee shop of some sort.

[BardicKnowledge]

Well, I can say it's a great school to be at...although there's not terribly much in the area. If anything though, I can assure you that you'd know someone with lots of video games though :grin:

You should've came to MAGFest with him - it was a great time!

Bahamut, assuming that you enjoy gaming and free food, I may shoot you a note the next time I'm down to UIUC for a weekend.

And I _will_ go to MAGFest next year after all of the crazy stuff I've seen online...

[Kanthos]

Only been to Red Robin when I was working in Vancouver for 4 months, and it was easily the best burger place I'd been to. Baskets of large seasoned fries with free refills helped too :)

Ah. We've got Red Robin in Cincinnati. Absolutely amazing burgers, and it's got a nice cross between a "Mom and Pop" and a "sports bar" type environment. I'd highly recommend anyone who hasn't eaten there to do it whenever you get the chance.
