We are having a meetup in mid or late January in Anchorage (I didn't have everyone's usernames written down, or I would have PM'd everyone).
We are building an igloo, it is going to be awesome.
And if anyone from the mainland or Canada is going to be over in the land of snow and darkness soon the date is negotiable so we can change it around those visits (though who in their right mind would visit Alaska in the winter).
PM either me or memann for details, though most of it is up in the air.
-
Please don't PM me... I might just get totally freaked out
-
People live in Alaska?
-
If you call Sarah Palin and her family people, sure.
-
patrick lives in alaska sometimes... he is almost people.
-
Its so cold in Alaska.
-
Patrick is cool people but is actually from the Bay Area. He's only in Alaska when he occasionally flees Albania out of boredom or misses his girlfriend.
-
Patrick is dating Sarah Palin?
Hot.
So is this only going to be a meetup for Alaskans or are Eastern Canadians invited also?
*Edit*
sorry, skipped over that part of the OP
-
If you call Sarah Palin and her family people, sure.
I swear to god if one more person uses Sarah Palin as the general representation of Alaskan people I will massacre everyone.
And we were going to wait to have a summer meetup so Patrick could come, but then there would be no igloo building.
-
Man, that is just what Sarah Palin would threaten.
(sorry)
-
Technically, Sarah Palin is a representative of the Alaskan people, as the state's governor. Her position makes it possible to assume that the Alaskan people, in general, support her actions.
Also, all Illinoisians are corrupt assholes.
-
Well except for the black ones. Black Illinoisans are messiahs!
-
I am not corrupt. :(
-
Well actually Durbin would be the Palin analogue, and Durbin is actually a pretty cool guy.
-
I am not corrupt. :(
Given:
All Illinoisians are corrupt unless they are black.
Emaline is Illinoisian.
Emaline is not corrupt.
Therefore:
Emaline is black.
QED
-
Guys this thread has taken a turn for the worse. Don't take it any further; we're getting back to Patrick dating Sarah Palin.
-
Hey guys, Texas is Alaska's bitch.
-
Man how is there an Alaska meet up but not like.. nearby me meetup what the hell.
-
that's what you get for being canadian and not living in ontario.
-
technically i live in alaska. maybe this is enough reason for me to post in this thread, or maybe im just wasting space like everyone else here. Wait really though, people LIVE in alaska??!
-
I once hooked up with a half eskimo from Alaska, can I join the club?
-
I know where Alaska is. Can I join the club?
(The Patrick hooking up with Sarah Palin club)
-
I am eagerly awaiting AleutianCon 2010.
-
Its so cold in Alaska.
In the summer it's actually like 80 degrees every. With 24 hours of sunlight! It is sweet.
-
I was in Alaska back in August and it was much, much colder than 80 degrees. (probably because it was spent primarily standing on a glacier)
-
Hmm. I went two years ago in July and spent most of it in Anchorage, Denali national park, Glacier Gap Lake, and in Valdez, including the bay and surrounding glaciers. It was over 70 degrees every day. Whatever.
-
Only 3 people who actually are from Alaska have posted in this thread. Just a little depressing.
-
On the other hand, that means that Alaska has the highest per capita response rate to this thread of any state!
-
On every forum I've ever visited, theres always an Alaska thread. Why do Alaskians feel the need to have their own thread? I never see a California thread, or a New York thread. Maybe its because they think they're special.
-
There's a thread for every meet-up. There hasn't been a New York meet-up in a while. Californians are always talking about their state- just look around.
-
there aren't really that many people from california on the forums it seems, and we all live pretty far from each other.
-
we all live pretty far from each other.
That is because California is too big. It still confuses me somewhat that LA and San Francisco are in the same state.
-
Same deal with Texas; I remember when I was 9 and my family drove there from MN to visit some family in San Antonio. It was like a 20 hour trip one way, and I think something ridiculous like 7 or 8 hours was actually within Texas itself.
-
Can't we all just get along and agree Texas and Alaska are equally horrible?
-
I'm aware that I'm British and therefore doomed to be terrible at geography, but I am confused.
I just looked on a state map to see where these places are, and incidentally located Michicgan and Illinois.
Why are they called Midwest? Is New York in the west? Is California in the east? Why is this? I am confused.
-
Because the first European settlements were mostly on the coast where New York is, so the rest of the country is west of there. Michigan and Illinois are midway to "the west" of cowboy and goldrush and conestoga wagons time, so they're in the Midwest.
