Hey, I leave this for a couple weeks and you guys have already picked out a date and location!  I love this board.

Anyway, May 9 and Red Robin in Silverdale work for me just fine, but I just wonder if we mightn't stay in the Seattle area, close to the train and bus stations, for people who don't have transportation.  Silverdale is a good 45 mins - 1 hour drive out of town, counting ferry travel.  If we end up meeting there, I think we should organize carpools / ferry teams to take people from seattle earlier in the day.

And if anybody knows some good parks or hikes out near there, it might be fun to spend the day on a little excursion before the meetup.

Once we have a confirmed date and location, I'm going to make a new thread.

[Toady One]

Yeah, if people were thinking of Silverdale just out of consideration for us, that's not necessary.  Seattle is fine.  It even has a Red Robin or two too, I think, he he he.  It is generally easier to travel to and from Seattle to be sure.

[Washii]

Maybe we should just go the extra half-way and meet on a State Ferry. That'll tick the State Patrol off!

lol how funny would that be.

May 9th works for me!  I'm so excited now that there's a date picked!

It's so soooon too!  I'm excited.

May 9 is good for me. Though I am not at all sure about Silverdale. Getting a bus from the Ferry to there would be tricky.

Anyway, if you guys end up in Seattle drop me a pM.

[Kogan Loloklam]

I'm willing to grab a few people and toss them in the trunk of my convertible for transportation across the ferry
That is, assuming you all promise to jump out and yell boo if the state patrol guys search the car...

Seriously though, I have no clue about what is in this area, but you all seem to think its a big deal to not go to Silverdale, which seems to be an easy trip to me, looking at coming to it from the south via Tacoma. If it is that big of a production though, maybe we should have a different location. Let's get you guys who live in that area to pick a place that is:
1) Free.
2) Indoorsish.
3) Close to cheap food.
4) A place that isn't going to get us all in trouble for our crazy antics.

[MoonCabbage]

There is a Red Robin right by the ferry docks in Seattle (less then a block away on the water front). i'm pretty sure they'd be able to accommodate us. Not to mention there are several other cheap food stands sprinkled about that area of town.

Considering I live in NY and would need to take an excessivly long drive (or airplane ride, whee.. urk). It would be very unlikely that I would be able to attend. Much like our European cousins.
 
Best of luck though, I hope you gents (and ladies. I know we have a few on the boards) have a good time.

Ug..I'm a lazy ass..I post none at all, enjoy reading the exploits of people way smarter then me in DF and live near portland.  I've been thinking about driving up to the toad hut and dropping off some beer since I'm rather too broke to donate and this would give me an excuse to get up there.
Oh ya..point...I need a point! If anyone desires a lift up there, I'd be more then glad to shove some people in my cherokee. I could fit 3 comfo..well..mostly comfortabley if they aren't to large/tall..4 in a pinch if people don't mind squishing cheeks on the bench seat
Though...someone would have to keep me updated via email or something on when and where, I'm rather absent minded and have a tendency to wander off towards shin......

*edit* Snort...chuckle chuckle..3 hour drive..BWAHAHA....er..hrm..I think google maps doesn't take into account that everyone on the interstate drive faster then the speed limit...Needless to say, we don't need no stinkin ferries since I'd be going up through tacoma, and the offer of a ride stretches to anyone somewhat along the I-5 corrider.

[thobal]

anyone up for a road trip from florida?

[DennyTom]

Just do not do any cosplay, ok?

Altrough - it could be amusing seeing bunch of long bearded people running naked in different socks.

[madpraxis]

Wait..so I should NOT shave then...I'm getting rather beardy..I guess I could not shave till then and eat a lot of carb's in the vain attempt to gain lots of weight. Oh ya, and somebody would have to lop me legs off from the knees down..THEN we can do dorf cos-play! ....wait..does this mean I'd have to skin all the neighborhood cats to make an appropriate *cat skin hood* and other appropriate apparel?

*edit* See..I keep forgetting things..I don't really live IN portland..I live..sorta near it..like...30 miles east on the north side of the gorge....I live at the exit of a giant windtunnel, that may explain my lack of coherent thoughts..stupid wind...
Oh ya, the point again : If you live even somewhat near portland or vancouver I'd be willing to drive to your place and get you and then start heading north. And on a more serious help me kill myself slowly note, if any canadians are coming down, you guys need to contact me..I NEED CANADIAN SMOKES and I'll happily reimburse you for them

*oh look, another edit! I can't tell distances it seems...its more like 20 miles...it just seems longer since I drove through a lot of traffic today...

[Tylui]

So there are no objections to May 9th yet?

It's ever-approached.  I'm so stoked for it. >.<

Last year all the cosplay I did was to hang a badge holder around my neck with a piece of graph paper on which I'd penned [SEMIMEGABEAST].

[Kogan Loloklam]

I haven't seen any negatives on May 9th yet, so it seems like May 9th it is.
