Oh, and I am buying a pair of fly cargo jorts for that Saturday.

2. Who's going to play it with you? ;-)

Goth looking girls that have questionable morality and cute butts

4. Typefighter01 is Canadian and Ond is Aussie, but I don't know of anyone else who might have an accent.

Dels totally a yankee, I'm a hick, and vwall is from Chicago.... I think you might be surprised.

I thought vwbus was from Denver.

Ew, you don't pronounce "wash" as "warsh", do you?

[vwalbridge]

I thought vwbus was from Denver.

This is correct. Born and raised. We even ride horses to work here.

Wait till you come to Phoenix. Gila monsters meet you at the airport, everyone is named Tex, and we eat beans for every meal.

[vwalbridge]

and we eat beans for every meal.

I've been jones-ing for some IN-and-Out myself.

There is one north of my house...

I was planning on taking Vigo and HMB to an early Mexican lunch that day (in the 'hood, even), but since you won't get in until 1, and the Monestary meetup is at 5 or so, I probably won't be able to take DeL and you anywhere for lunch. Plan accordingly.

Damnit!  I love Mexican food.

[harveybirdman]

Yeah yeah Denver, that's right....

I don't know what kind of English they speak up there, coke, soda, pop, whatevz....


I don't put an r in wash, but I know plenty of folks who do.

Well, get an earlier flight. I'm picking Vigo and HBM up at like 8 AM.

Sweet! Mexican brunch in the 'hood! I'm game!

Me, you and The Birdman. Epic!!!

[DeLuSioNal29]

Heh, I can't wait to hang out with your bros.  If we we kid around like this on the forums, I can't imagine what it would be like to do it in person. [cue Yots meme picture here]

As far as beans, I eat them mostly every day too, so no worries about me missing the Mexican food while I'm out there.  (But mine are "real" rice and beans, LOL.)  If you guys ever venture out to the East coast, I make some mean Puertorican meals and you can see for yourself.

I'll have a table for 3. Do they serve Carpathian Warlords and D-list super hero attorneys in the hood?

[yotsuya]

Dude, it's family run, its right off the freeway in case we need to make a run for it, and it's best Mexican food in Phoenix. And they don't put carrots in their food, regardless of what the PBJ thinks.

We had great fun last year. I'm the social glue that holds everything together.

I'll post an agenda soon. Obviously, you ( not specifically you, Del, but anybody who's going and reading this) don't have to do anything on it, the last year we had a lot of fun just doing a lot of different things.

The Friday night meet up is pretty fun because I also invite the local collector group, so we have a pretty big group and a good mix of people. It may be a bit smaller cause I think they're going to do some stuff at ZapCon for contributors, but I'd rather hang out with you guys at Friday at the Monastery and Starfighters. I'm going to spend the whole weekend at ZapCon, so I don't need any extra time there.

[yotsuya]

Me, Aceldamor, Jawhn and my buddy Adam are waiting to get sushi down the way from Cobra Bar Arcade. Good times.

[ark_ader]

Crap its $284 return. I could buy a racing cab for that price...

[yotsuya]

Just a reminder - if you haven't given me your shirt info, Friday night is the cut-off date.

Here's the link: http://goo.gl/forms/NonuvSqpkq

Over the weekend, I'll PM you guys with a confirmation of what you requested and PayPal info. I'll collect payment from the 22nd through the 29th, with reminders. I'm paying for everything March 1, so that's the hard cutoff. No money or shirts will be available after that date. Once I pay for the materials on March 1, it's non-refundable.

Having said that, I've got some other swag I'm working on. So don't worry - I'm going to make your $10 stretch veeeery far.

P.S. 23 shirts have been ordered... I can't wait to see the picture!

P.P.S. Only two months away!!!

I've never seen plain white rice served in Puerto Rico.  Ever.

Bring your shaved nuts on down to ZapCon, James, and we'll have him cook you some.

[yotsuya]

Just a final reminder, t-shirt requests are due by tonight! I'll send verifications by Sunday. Whoo!!!

[vwalbridge]

[yotsuya]

I've already had a few people pay for their shirts. If you want my PayPal address, just PM me, otherwise, I'll send the info by tomorrow. Thanks!

[yotsuya]

Just got confirmation - food trucks will be parked out by ZapCon this year. Whoo!!!

[yotsuya]

Ok, all t-shirt confirmations have been sent out via PM. If you have any questions, please let me know. Whoooooo!

[yotsuya]

Count me as not going.  But don't be surprised if I show up.  We have a big job in Denver Colorado coming up in April and if I have to go it's only an hour and half flight to Mesa I will show up.  Enchiladas in hand.

Any movement on this? Or did you stub your toe on the tire?

[HaRuMaN]

Yay.  Last year I drove to checkers for lunch.  Meh

You should have gone to the sports bar across the street with us...

[yotsuya]

Those of you guys that are going, I'm working on the badges today and I need your hometown. The front of the badge states where you are from and your first name, so I want to get that accurate. I should have asked on the t-shirt questionnaire, but I forgot. If you want to PM that to me, I would appreciate it.

[HaRuMaN]

Last name Jim, first name Pinball

That motherscratcher is too cheap to go anywhere...

[harveybirdman]

Let's call it Tulsa, but can we make it Jamie?  I don't want to be confused with Pinball.

Sure thing! Working on yours now.

Thanks, DeL. For some reason, I thought you were in Rochester, NY.

Locals, too, if you didn't get a badge last year, let me know what city in AZ you call home.
