VGL Louisville Meetup - pics pg 22+

[dPaladin]

Hey, I'm going to have transportation.

How much is parking? And the OCR shirts?

EDIT: I'm still going to steal your hotel space. Sorry.

[big giant circles]

Shirts are normally $10 + $7 for shipping here on the site.

I think I'm going to round it up to an even $12 to cover shipping back to Dave for any we don't sell. I would imagine parking would be free at the hotel - which isn't that in walking distance?

[Sinewav]

Lets see here... road trip with ifirit and neko +1? And splitting the gas money 3 ways?

Eh. Why not?

Also, we all should PM ifirit our cellphone numbers just in case. That way we don't find ourselves in a situation like waiting at the hotel wondering if bgc is ever going to show up.

[big giant circles]

actually, yes, i forgot to mention that. i've already got ifirit's number. those of you who are coming, PM me if you'd like mine.

[Tai_Zidek]

I have still yet to get ahold of the other 2 people I am coming with, nor found a taker for my extra ticket (orchestra seats, row c, seat 11 or 13 can't remember which.)Once I get ahold of my friends I will see if we are going to meet up with you guys or not.

EDIT: Just got off the phone, we will more than likely make it to the meetup at the hotel. We won't be staying at the hotel, living about 45 minutes away and all, but are up for pre-/post-show shenanigans. No one else I know is able to come, so if anyone needs an extra ticket just let me know and I will hand it to you at the hotel or before the show starts.

Also, FYI, a groundrule:

NO MASTURBATING TO FURRY PORN ON YOUR LAPTOP AT THE MEETUP WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS AROUND.

Before you ask, yes, it has been an issue before.

Your wording is a little muddled. I'm not sure I quite understand what you're trying to get at here. Could you clarify?

crap i was gonna travel down and meet you guys but now theres no way

[dPaladin]

Alright, I think everything is going to work out on my end. I should be there in time for check-in. I don't have a recent picture, but I'm skinny with brown eyes and kind of a Jew-fro. I'll be wearing a green Zelda shirt and khakis.

I'll bring that acoustic guitar and a crappy MIDI keyboard.

Come on, it's gonna be sweet. Plus, we'll be saving some green by carpooling.

Hey, I'm going to have transportation.

How much is parking?

I called to double-check the parking rates. While the standard valet costs $21 at the hotel, parking on the street is free after 6pm on the weekends. There are also a few public parking garages in the area. I'll get a more detailed list before tomorrow.

Ifirit, 1st post has been updated.

Thanks, Jimmy.

$21? Ouch. I'd certainly be interested in cheaper rates.

[ifirit]

$21? Ouch. I'd certainly be interested in cheaper rates.

Here's a map of public parking places in downtown Louisville. Scroll over the location to get more detail on pricing and hours. 529 W. Market street (about 2 blocks from the hotel) has weekend parking available for $2, although it's just a surface lot. Otherwise, you're looking at parking costing about $6-$7 at any other location. Again, street parking is available for free after 6pm tomorrow.

Louisville Parking Map

BGC, would you mind adding the Louisville Parking Map to the first post?

[Nekofrog]

Sinewave, if you haven't yet, you REALLY need to get ahold of (ie call) ifrit. Our directions hinge on it.

[Sinewav]

I got a hold of him. Everything should be going cool now. Sorry if I caused any trouble.

[big giant circles]

sweetness. brian's here, we'll be leaving far earlier than we'll feel like, but we want to get there early. i have ifirit's phone number and greg's as well.

can't wait to see ya'll there.

[Sinewav]

I'll see you all there!

[Tai_Zidek]

We will be heading out in a few, we will be park near the Kentucky Center, but should be over at the hotel sometime around 4. There will be 3 of us, I'll have that tan LoZ knock off looking shirt, jeans, light brown hair, glasses. I'll be with a tall blonde guy and a shorter brown haired girl, all of us are on a skinny side.

[dPaladin]

So when my parents said they'd let me have a car for the day apparently they were JKLOL because I'm here alone with no car. I'll get there when I can though.

[dPaladin]

Alright, that worked out well. I don't have pictures or anything, but pictures were taken and I hope they'll be posted (even the ones where I was blinking or had a lopsided fake smile) for everyone to enjoy when the rest of the crew gets back.

[Josh Whelchel]

I have some pictures from the meetup, I'm the guy who just kind of showed up (;

I had a great time meeting you guys, looking forward to the Indy show. (:

[Nekofrog]

Oh snap, an Indy show? When? We might have to go to that one, too.

Great stuff, guys. Special thanks to Paulo for driving for what had to be an excruciating number of hours (double digits), just to make sure everyone got there.

[big giant circles]

pictures/blog/etc to go up soon (probably tomorrow--i'm hitting the hay for now). i'm totally exhausted, but that was a FANTASTIC meetup. was great to meet all of you i hadn't met before!

[Tai_Zidek]

I had tons of fun, and next time I will be sure to bring my camera. It was great to meet you guys, sorry we couldn't stay and hang out with you all some more, but Jennifer had work later than morning. We deffinitly have to do this again.

[Sole Signal]

It was an awesome time, guys. Sorry, I was pretty distracted due to the constant updates I was getting of my brother's condition in the hospital (who was involved in a very bad collision in a softball game the night of the concert and had to go in for a fairly serious surgery that night.) On an up note it's looking like he's doing well in recovery.

Anyway, here's a couple pics before I go get some rest tonight.

[Nekofrog]

It looks like dPaladin and I are about to turn to each other and start making out in the first picture.

The hand on the shoulder doesn't help

Oh, and Paulo forgot that bitchin' red shirt of his in the hotel closet D:
