Bahamut Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 And I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to say bye to you, Wes, and others. For some reason, it slipped my mind that you all would be going to the listening party and that I wouldn't be going to the BBQ and wouldn't be seeing you again. Well, safe trip back. It's all good, it was implicit . Good to see you two made it back just fine though! So this is what I felt was the highlight of the listening party although I missed it - after Upthorn, ThatBlack1, and I left, an ex-roommate of Stevo's decides to trip and fall on Larry while he was on the air mattress and stayed there for a while - while naked. Great time at Xerol's place earlier today - thanks for hosting us all! Quote

Xerol Oplan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 BBQ went great. There's now talk of having another one in August or September (maybe the weekend of 64 bit?) for all the locals/regionals. BTW can someone get on #etg and get me unbanned? Quote
Level 99 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 BBQ went great. There's now talk of having another one in August or September (maybe the weekend of 64 bit?) for all the locals/regionals. Still plenty left over from today, I'd definitely be down for that. The cooking was masterful, and that pork surprise was awesome. YES Quote
Xerol Oplan Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Still plenty left over from today, I'd definitely be down for that. The cooking was masterful, and that pork surprise was awesome. YES I'm freezing most of the hot dogs/burgers for later use, the salads and stuff aren't going to last though. I'm having another smaller one tomorrow night for some of the MAGFest people still in town, anyone who's still around can come too. And I had to toss what was left of the pork surprise (now officially called Baltimore-Style Cheesesteak) because the flies really got into it. (Note to self: bring extra foil next time.) Quote
Triad Orion Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Wow, that was a blast. I would've posted sooner if my internet hadn't been wonky all day yesterday. The panel was a lot of fun and it was good to meet and shake hands with a lot of the people up at the panel. It was also nice not to get blown up by Wes. >> Wish I could've stayed around longer after the panel to talk, but the people I went to the con with called me shortly afterward and needed me with them. So, sorry I couldn't stay longer and talk. And yeah, I agree that Wes did quite well for talking in front of a big audience for his first time. Larry was really funny, though all the booing he got was funny too. When he threatened to go in front of the giant speaker again, I was the one who shouted "He'll do it! He'll really do it!" Big thanks to everyone who set up the panel and participated in it. That was worth going to the convention for itself, I think. Quote
Kizyr Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 BBQ was a lot of fun. Listening party was a lot of fun. Panel was a lot of fun. Basically, there were many times during that weekend where I sort of just didn't want it to end. (Oh, our Lunar Panel was a success, too!) I'll be able to post up pics from the BBQ tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay. KF Quote
Arrow Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Since Kizyr got most of the BBQ pics, I only picked up two. But feel free to check out Xerol's epic HANMADE GRILL. Quote
Level 99 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Since Kizyr got most of the BBQ pics, I only picked up two. But feel free to check out Xerol's epic HANMADE GRILL. A) That grill is all sorts of epic. It's about half the 2/3 the size of "Shorty's" grill, if anyone from the Baltimore area knows who I'm talking about. Best BBQ we have to offer! Way to get a new forum name. I wonder how you pulled that one off Quote
Zeiram_ Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I was going to get directions for the BBQ and meet up with folks there, but then some stuff went down that I had to take care of for work. Glad you folks had fun. Quote
Kizyr Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Ok, I got pics, so it happened! The OCR Panel ones didn't come out so good, so I'll just put up a few of the BBQ: "Level99: You know the site Cake*? Liontamer: ..." And thus you have: OCR-BBQ-CakeWhat1.jpg OCR-BBQ-CakeWhat2.jpg A few of the group shots: OCR-BBQ-Group1.jpg OCR-BBQ-Group2.jpg OCR-BBQ-Group3-SeriousShot.jpg Fun shot: And finally, this one really needs a caption: Quote
Dyne Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I've got it, "The Deia is mightier than the ReMixers..." Quote

DragonAvenger Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I was going to say something about 'There are no girls on the internet'...but that just didn't make sense. Also, I was not protecting my....in that picture. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Also, I was not protecting my....in that picture. i believe the medical term is "girly bits". seems like you are more than capable enough of defending yourself, as evidenced by the carnage. I love how LT looks all business in all the shots. Quote
Arrow Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 wait, what Why the hell am I smiling in the serious shot? Fail. Quote
Triad Orion Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Gotta say, that weapon was awesomely made. I saw that at the panel and was impressed with both that and your costume, Deia. Also, that shot where she killed everyone is funny. Wish I could've been there. ...At least to laugh at Wes who got finished by a Critical Hit himself. >> Quote
Moguta Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 wait, whatWhy the hell am I smiling in the serious shot? Fail. Srsly. And, ZOMG! It's "Arrow"! Where'd all those other letters go?!? ;P I gotta say, I had an awesome time at my first Otakon experience. Made me wish I'd stuck around for more than a day at the con. I knew it was going to be something different, but I was amazed at how satisfying it was just to glance around in entertained awe at all the different cosplays and art people had come up with. As always, it was good to hang out with the community. Thanks, too, to the BBQers for accommodating my vegetarian-ness. You all are an awesome group to BS the day away with. Y'know, except for that "Larry" dude. Quote

Tmansdc Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 I really really would like to go to otakon just for one of these. But won't be able to till at least 2011. Cause next year I'm already committed to Anime Expo (boo, hiss I know!) and Comic-Con. Quote
