Chicagocon '09 - The Internet Invades the Midwest
Jace:
I hate to be rude, but, who are you Zingoleb? I see that you have a lot more music and QC discussion posts than Infinite Pony Debates posts. Most of the people that have expressed interest in attending this are people who hang out here rolling in the blog threads, and meebling in the meebo.
Zingoleb:
Who I am is a question that gets asked a lot, usually to my face.
The name is [redacted], and I answer to both names. I'm usually more of a lurker rather than a pipe-up-about-things-I-don't-know sort of person. Music is just what I know, eh?
And I've never meebled. Or been meebled. Sorry.
Edit: And if I really should not go, I should probably be told this. I get awesome ideas in my head that are not always realistic and I am all "YES THIS IS AWESOME SO I WILL DO THIS". I'd like to think that's I'm LoL RaNdOm and FuN and CrAZy but I think I'm just your average 18-year-old in that respect. Sigh.

I really hope you're being ironic, otherwise you might get stabbed. This isn't the best neighborhood, see. We have people who carry shivs, for a single purpose, shivving people who say that.
I'm just saying that this is a meeting of people who are pretty much on a first name (not a screen name) basis with other forumites. We know where each other live, what they do for a job, most of us have posted pictures of ourselves here (and are friends on facebook). Its less like a convention, more like a bunch of friends (and then me also) going to hang out for a weekend. I'm not saying that you can't or shouldn't go. But we don't really know you and we might ignore you/not even know who you are.
Zingoleb:
That statement was dripping irony. I mopped the irony up a bit, though, as it was causing a bit of a mess.
I see your point and probably won't go. I just like the idea of getting out and doing something like this, as generally 'real' conventions are far too fucking large for socially-inept me to really handle.
I'm a pendulum when it comes to these sorts of things. I'll swing crazily positive (DUDE I should go to this it would be awesome I can drive to Chicago I'll sleep in the car I can meet people who I know a bit online) and then the other way (I'm not sure, these seems a bit more personal, they don't know me, it'll be awkward) and settle somewhere in the middle.
I'm fairly used to being ignored and being unknown - it's part of my mysterious charm! Or pure shyness. Either one of those will work.
It's 6 AM and I'm feeling ranty, so excuse my post. I hope it's coherent.
est:
I think that the point is that the name of the thread is probably misleading. It isn't a QC Forum meetup, it is a meetup for a bunch of people here who have known each other for up to about 5 years now, plus some assorted other people we know. For all intents and purposes the QC Forum and this section are relatively disparate entities.
