Liontamer Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Jealous of you guys. When I have the $ to take the train from DC, I'm definitely coming by the next Philly meetup, whenever that is. The trip's shorter than I thought. Quote
Dyne Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Vs. System eh? I haven't played in forever...I don't even have more than the mere Batman starter from like a year and a half ago. Maybe I'll bring the starter just for giggles. Quote

The trip's shorter than I thought. Dude why would you take the train?? Take the friggen Chinatown bus, man! Two hours, $15!! https://www.apexbus.com/BuyTicket.aspx?from=1&to=3 Quote
Kutrayn Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 AAAARRGGHH!!! I don't know if I'll make it. I need to convince my boss, but as of right now I work from 4-9:30... My girlfriend will show only if I do, it seems. I can accomodate 2-3 people. If really needed I can manage 2 more on the floor, but I already have minimal blankets and pillows... Thus, At best I can accomodate 3 more people if someone brings sheets and/or pillows (I need to take inventory). Faduger, I'm about to PM my address. The offer remains regardless of whether I show, but I will re-iterate that I kinda have to kick everyone out by 8:30 because I have work at nine. It's better than nothing. Quote
zircon Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 If you've checked the weather forecast for Philadelphia, you'll see that there are isolated t-storms predicted tomorrow starting at 4PM - 30% chance. This may change by tomorrow, but we're making some backup plans just in case. If it seems like rain is likely, we're probably going to cut out south street and head to the apartment after lunch in center city. Jill and I got a tarp and some rope which we'll have ready in case we need it for outside. HOPEFULLY we won't need to use it... Quote
Kroze Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Jill and I got a tarp and some rope which we'll have ready in case we need it for outside.HOPEFULLY we won't need to use it... Please don't tie me up! Kroze promises to be a good Kroze! Quote

By 4 I would think we would have already been at, or currently on, South Street, in which case we could seek shelter in one of its many zany stores. Quote
bustatunez Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 I Just Hope The Rain Doesnt Mess Up My New Leather Outfits!!!!! Quote
José the Bronx Rican Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 I'm definitely coming by the next Philly meetup, whenever that is. The trip's shorter than I thought. Baltimore was longer than I thought. I dunno why I didn't make that connection: Baltimore = Maryland = close to D.C. Eep. I'll be on my way in the morning; as usual, I hope I make it on time. I also hope the BBQ doesn't run too late, 'cause I'm afraid I can only spare that day, and will have to head home that night. I'll call if there are any difficulties. Quote
Kutrayn Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 It is official. I, and my girlfriend, WILL be there. From Noon until the end! No work at all! As far as predicting rain, I've learned a neat yet accurate trick using the leaves of certain types of trees. If the points of the leaves are pointing up, it is, indeed, going to rain. Unfortunately, I don't know how many of these trees are in center city. (btw, I've seen it work on several occasions, I just don't know if its foolproof) Quote
Bahamut Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 So I'm posting from zircon's & pixietrick's place...watching Star Trek: Voyager (not surprising). I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow! Quote

Jillian Aversa Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Hey dudes... I accidentally left my cell phone in New York yesterday, so if you are late or get separated, zircon's number is the one to call. He put it in the first post! See you soon. :> Quote
Dyne Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Well, for me, the Meetup is over, but I have to say, I had a great time today. I wanted to thank everyone who came today for all the fun! I hope to see all of you at Otakon 2007 in a month. Quote

Kroze Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 How the hell is it for some reason or another I keep missing all the big group pics? Can we blame a random person for this cruelty? Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 A few more favorites: José's my hero Brain freeze! Cousins zircon and Merk? You missed all the group pics cuz you came late! But you're still in the last couple ones. Quote
zircon Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 At the Bubble House, last stop of the meetup (our numbers have dwindled) Somewhat disturbing... BAM!!! I am hella awesome @ grills Quote
Bahamut Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I'm posting at zircon & pixietricks' place, and the meetup was great as to be expected. First we met up at City Hall (and for some strange reason everyone was late) - after waiting an hour, we met up with Darkesword, his brother, and Atma and headed to the Gallery for lunch. After, we then went down to South Street and looked around the shops and stopped around Penn's Landing, where we then decided to head back to here for the bbq. Much food & fullness later, we went to get bubble tea at the Bubble House, pixietricks' work place and then said a heartfelt goodbye . Here's a gem from #ocremix though! [01:20am] Kroze: http://www.soundtempest.net/jill/ocr/june07philly/26.jpg <-- OMG, thats perfect[01:23am] F4T4L: Kroze : that pic just screams "I'M GONNA EAT YOU UP, BIG BOY!!" followed by a sensual lip-licking Quote
Merk Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Just got home now. Thank goodness for Vietnamese Coffee Quote
Maagic Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 I had more fun than i probably should have with a group of people i don't know. Thanks again! Quote
