I'm actually going on holiday this year with my girlfriend to somewhere hot and beachy in Europe that is as of yet undecided, so I'm flatout saying NO this year instead of "maybe aww yeah if i save enough i can oh wait i have a stupid huge bill oh no bollocks".

I don't think I can do this and a week long trip to Phoenix, and a week off to go to Ragnarok all in 3 months. Fuck the summer with all these trips and bullshit.

That's not even a place, dude. That's the end of the world.

Got all my money going towards a two-week camping trip to Colorado this summer, so this is not a thing that I can do.

I feel like I should splurge on something to celebrate graduation, and maybe this will be it! Put me down for a maybe?

The cheapest flight to SF I found is with Lufthansa German Airlines for £703.68 and involves a 19 hour stop in Montreal.

I think I'll skip this one.

A 19 hour stop in Montreal makes this trip almost 300% more appealing.

Everyone should make a stopover in Montreal.

put me down as "maybe, but probably not" since California is like...not that far from me, but I am kind of a broke ass and my car sucks. Maybe if flights are cheap I could just fly down.....

i'll have to see what my life situation is like by then

Lunchbox · « **Reply #59 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 16:04 »

I am not coming.

Unless Steve and Kat let me in on their massive windfall.

Unfortunately I have to have a summer job and pay for school instead. Unless Jon goes and brings me along, I will not be attending.

Liz · « **Reply #62 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 17:39 »

C'mon guys, we need more people than this! If I am going to fly to California it better be worth it. Just think! You will get to meet THREE Australians! How amazing is that?

tania · « **Reply #63 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 17:48 »

i dunno, i've gotten a lot of visits since moving to vancouver. with this trend i feel pretty confident that if i just wait long enough and don't go anywhere pretty much every single person will end up stopping by at one point or another.

actually yeah on second thought, let's just do what we did for tronnocon where everybody just meets up in the city i already live in. it's a lot easier for me.

tania · « **Reply #64 on:** 31 Jan 2011, 17:58 »

nah i'm just kidding, everybody stay out of my city i got shit to do

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #65 on:** 01 Feb 2011, 04:15 »

It is very unlikely that I will go!

I think the dates sort of coincede with the tryouts for the latin american championships or the nationals or something else relating to kendo. my life is sort of over.

Rizzo · « **Reply #66 on:** 01 Feb 2011, 04:43 »

I need a goal for this year so put me down as a probably maybe. It depends on flights and finances but my finances are good and I need something to look forward to.

Oh, and my birthday is on the 26th so... PARTY.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #67 on:** 01 Feb 2011, 05:09 »

I'm not going. I'd like to but it's not happening.

I already met one. They're confused by revolving doors and wear bright underwear. It's about as interesting as a 5 year old.

(Jimmy, I love you)

I have met two Australians! They were both awesome! I am sad that I can't meet the other two, but California is very far away and I too need to work over the summer to help pay for school.

This is when I hit myself over the head for giving up a full time job. I miss making money and travelling. In a two year break I went to Tronno, Boston, Chicago, and then Boston again to hang out with you guys. And then various other places with meat life friends. I miss travelling so much! I miss you guys too.
:c :c :c

Patrick · « **Reply #70 on:** 01 Feb 2011, 19:55 »

I live 40 miles away from the city and I have gone to the city for much shittier reasons than 'meeting awesome people.'

David_Dovey · « **Reply #71 on:** 01 Feb 2011, 20:51 »

I still hold hope in the possibility that even if you can't come to this Australian, at some point I'll hopefully be able to come to you (I deliver!)

jodizzle · « **Reply #72 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 01:01 »

I kind of go to people! I just do it in such a way where I will make the giant trip across the ocean if everyone else will then meet me at a place of my choosing in America. Man I should have made everyone come to Vegas for Rollercon. oh wells!

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #73 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 05:53 »

You know, i live in the goddamn land of Pokemon and cute gothy things and you never came to visit me.

By the way, this is going to be in the upcoming guide to "meeting parts of the internet":

When offered hot sauce by a strange Englishman, DO NOT TRY IT.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #75 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:07 »

OR, you know, try a small dab.

Dabs are a good thing.

Lines · « **Reply #76 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:15 »

Basically don't drink it. Or you know, use it on food. A little goes a long way!

valley_parade · « **Reply #77 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:22 »

Long way indeed. I've only used about 2/3rd of that bottle.

Liz · « **Reply #78 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:43 »

Guys stop talking about silly things and start talking about SAN FRANCISCO because it is not a silly thing.

valley_parade · « **Reply #79 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:48 »

Even if I were going to San Francisco, it'd be earlier in the summer for Asian Man Records' 15th anniversary weekend. And Giants-As at the Coliseum.

tania · « **Reply #80 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:56 »

internet meetups are pretty silly actually

tania · « **Reply #81 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:57 »

i mean if that is your thing that is cool, sometimes it has been my thing too but don't kid yourself, spending hard earned money to meet the internet is definitely way nerdy and silly

valley_parade · « **Reply #82 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 08:58 »

You guys are cool and all, but from what I remember, most of you snore.

Liz · « **Reply #83 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 09:06 »

It is also spending hard earned money on a vacation, which is totally worth it. Getting to meet internet people while you're there is just a bonus!

Shane wasn't there for Epic Phil Snore. Believe me, he would remember.

I do not snore. I am a good roommate. A good roommate you will not have.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #87 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 12:57 »

I totally snore

calenlass · « **Reply #88 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 13:24 »

Apparently I laugh in my sleep sometimes. I can't help but imagine that to be incredibly creepy, but my boyfriend says it is cute.

Also sometimes I sleep sex people. So. Best roommate?

Barmymoo · « **Reply #89 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 13:30 »

You did not sleep sex me, or, to my knowledge, Jodie. What is up with that?

Lunchbox · « **Reply #90 on:** 02 Feb 2011, 14:28 »

She didn't sleep sex me either. But then I am a pretty solid sleeper so maybe she did and neither of us remember.

The Coliseum is a terrible place to see baseball, if you want to see a Giants-A's series go to the one at AT&T.

yelley · « **Reply #93 on:** 03 Feb 2011, 00:23 »

Jason and I will be there for part of it, maybe not all of it. We live about 2 hours out from the city and can drive in for a day or two.

Things to do:
-dim sum in Chinatown. I like Gold Mountain... I have brought many white people there and they were all terrified. I suppose Chinatown is nice too, if you like shopping for weird useless items.
-Haight-Ashbury. I feel like most of you could spend a whole day in Amoeba easily.
-Alcatraz. Tickets are pricey, but it's actually a nice way to spend the day. I found it interesting.
-Muir Woods. Not too far outside the city and some nice easy hiking through redwood groves.
-San Francisco Giants vs. Milwaulkee Brewers 7/22-7/24

squawk · « **Reply #94 on:** 03 Feb 2011, 01:00 »

The trick to finding the good restaurants in Chinatown is to find the one with minimal white people eating there

jodizzle · « **Reply #95 on:** 03 Feb 2011, 03:34 »

Aaron refuses to NOT do Alcatraz. SO even if you guys don't go, we will be

Seems like it would be fun to do together though!

Sorry guys but if I were going to the US this year around that time it'd probs be to go to Comic Con, which is on that weekend.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #97 on:** 03 Feb 2011, 09:04 »

Oh yeah I can totally understand wanting to go to ComicCon

I mean, it's loud, crowded, smells bad, consists of mile long lines to see bored celebrities(and there are lines just to get a chance to be in those lines), and expensive. Who wouldn't love that.

They're in Oakland the weekend of AMR 15, just sayin'.

The one year I went to Comic Con it actually didn't smell all that bad! Everything else is pretty true though.
