Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 4, 2002 If we keep our discussions about the possible DC/Northern VA/NC gathering here, Jingus can have his celebratory thread back. DC/Nothern VA is probably "in the middle" for the majority of the people who have been talking about this so far, which is why I went with that. Who's actually interested in doing this? I think it would be an interesting way to spend a day, or a weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I'm sure you'll be able to get a 'SmartMark Discount' at a convention centre, somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I'm in, and it's looking like I'll be arriving with Kotz. In the BLACK MANTA~!, no less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 See, Incandenza's got the idea already. Respect BLACK MANTA~! Mind if we bring Kinetic too, assuming he wants to go? Oh lord, me, Kinetic, and Incandenza in the same car. (envisions getting ganged the moment he reaches for a techno or pop CD) Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Ok, so about when are we trying to do this? Holiday time would be good for those in school, and a lot of people have off Xmas week (me included, except that Monday). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 4, 2002 I'll have my last final exam of the semester on December 12th (a Thursday), so I'm good to go as soon as the 13th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Hmm, I need to find out when Mary-Keith(the quasi-girlfriend) is out for the Holidays from her school. It'd be easy to do on any weekend if she didn't go to school in Georgia. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Its always nice to meet new people. If it's going down in DC I can always take the Metro... But I don't have a car. Too much $$$ But if it's in DC the public transport here is pretty nice. So...? *EDIT* EMM4:20 says I just mady my 420th post Brownies anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Actually, that'd be great if I could be picked up. We could all chip in for gas and, as Kotz noted, Incandenza and I could control the CD player by force, if necessary. If it's too far out of the way, though, I wouldn't worry about it.

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted October 4, 2002 You would actually spend money and cross state lines to meet someone on a message board? You all seem like nice enough people but sorry you're not worth the money. Have fun either way if you do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Back when I had the old Aries station wagon(named the Silver Spoon, and the irony was dripping off the name if you saw it or know what kind of car I'm talking about), I was pretty cool with people and the radio, but that was all I had. But to be honest, I'm already a control freak with this car, and I don't see that trend stopping when I actually start driving it. Hell, the security system is going to be so my loser uncle doesn't try to take it out and impress his singles line ho's, not to avert it being stolen, although it might as well be the same thing. That said, I see this happening: We'll start out with me being cool with your selections, then I'll somehow coerce you into giving some Digweed or Oakenfold a shot. You'll like it, and then I'll make another suggestion and, your interest piqued at this point, go along with it. Then it will be irreversible. I see us pulling into DC with the top down and blasting "Heaven Scent" for the entire greater DC area to hear, and all of us dancing like mad. Who's shorter between you two? He goes in the back. Crap! I forgot about the other NC peeps. Who else represents the NC up in here and wants to go on a phizat ride with my crew? Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge EDIT: Folk in Virginia also, any here? Just anyone on the way to Washington from Charleston, South Carolina who we could pick up while still going generally north. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Hell, as long as I don't have IMPORTANT WRESTLING BUSINESS~! to take care of, I'm in. (The whole thing did start in my thread, after all.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Who's shorter between you two? He goes in the back. Um, 6'10". Yeah, I'm 6'10". ::whistles innocently:: And Kinetic, according to online resources, Charleston, SC to the Winston-Salem area in NC would take upwards of six hours. Tack on another five-or-so hours to get the D.C. area, and that means I'll have been on the road for 16 hours, necessitating drugs and/or alcohol to keep to keep me from going stir crazy. So, I see little problem in picking up Kinetic, but if the BLACK MANTA~! were to make any more pick ups, it would have to be in town we would be passing through, anyway. Anymore out of the way trips would be a burden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Well, that would be fine if I was going to be living in Winston-Salem. I don't know how that ugly rumor got started, but it isn't true. The greater Raleigh area is where I'm actually going to be living. Not sure how that affects things, as far as time and distance go. EDIT: I looked it up. Raleigh is about 280 miles from Charleston.

They probably got you confused with me (which may either be a great compliment or a great insult). And time wise, I don't know how far it is from Charleston to Raleigh, but I do know that Winston to Raleigh is about 3 hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Raleigh is a short detour off of I-95. No problems. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Yeah, if I see you with an ALF doll in your pants trying to enter my car, much less be in the backseat with it, I WILL make you drive the whole way to DC yourself. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted October 4, 2002 yeah well, if jingus is headed out that way, i may just caravan up there along the way or something, speaking of such, im making plans to visit wildside oct. 26th, so holler at me around then J. Now, my break's done dec. 13th too...but I wont have finals...and I'm free save for new years and xmas *family and friends here* So my question is where the location would be...there like, wouldn't happen to be WWEEE event or anything around that time around this place right? and kotz, dance and techno's cool with me, people just don't appreciate the finer dance muzak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted October 4, 2002 Raleigh is a short detour off of I-95. No problems. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Well if you're going to be on I-95, just keep heading north and take Exit 38 in Mass ans scoop me up, it's only about 10-12 hours out of the way.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Here are the facts as I understand them: -Kotz is going to escort Incandenza and myself. -This will occur during the week of Christmas. Christmas is on a Wednesday, so it would either need to be the weekend before or after the 25th. -We'll be meeting in the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area. -Alina and I will be sharing a hotel room. Any amendments to that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted October 5, 2002 On the very likely chance we'll be sharing a room, I demand that Kotz at least wear boxers when sleeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 5, 2002 Oh, when I have to share a room or bed with anyone, I wear clothes to sleep, worry not. And Kinetic, knock yourself out. My quasi-girlfriend will probably be with us, if I can talk her and her parents into it. Hopefully I'll be able to. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
