I might go for the first time this summer at a gaming convention where people play with total strangers.

Anyone going to GenCon that would like to introduce a virgin soul to the delights of American Gaming, American Beer, ....?

I'm not the type that goes in such places without friends and they don't share in my hobies, so...bad for me.

Anyone on these boards going?

Been talking about it. Like you, I don't go to those things, but I'm still curious to talk to Brom or other artists who worked on Dark Sun. Would be interesting, but timing might be an issue.

If you decide yes, then send me word cause it won't take me much to say yes too.
I wouldn't be insulted a bit to pass some of my time with the Soulstealer himself.
Whoooo....reddening already! No wait, that's from the soulstealing thingny, sorry.
He! he!

I'm debating it, but I don't want to go alone.

Email me if you want and we'll discuss it. Will probably offer my place up as a crash zone again too.

Interesting.

That'll be right around the time I'm going to move to Colorado, so that might work out pretty well - take a few weeks off before jumping into another job.

Looking good indeed!

If us three can crash and go together, at least for a while (4 days, you know), then I might really go.

I'll wait a little to see if it goes ok for you two. Maybe others will go?

Bring some more of the frogs with ya.

Get Grummore to stow away.

We'll get that invasion we were talking about earlier off to a good start.

There's always next year. Of course, I keep telling myself that. Hopefully, when I get employed again, I'll be able to get back on top of my financial situation once more.

PMing and emailing Dawn, trying to get an answer on his part.

Won't be long now.

On my part its nearly a perfect YES! Just checking if I can get a proverbial boot kick in the arse from Dawn to push me over...

Yeah, I should email him too, always seem to lose his email address though. Always bad with that.

Can you share?

:D

Gimme yours while you are at it too, hehe.

Your PM box, and Dawn's, are full.
So his Kam's and Xlor's, I think.

Hey Pennarin, want a Road Trip buddy? ;)

Seriously, I'm very tempted! The only thing is the dates... If I'm still teaching next year (and now I'm really not sure about that), it falls pretty much exactly when we apply for jobs here. And if I don't, well then I'm not sure what I'm doing then...

Hmm...

But would be fun... and it would give me the chance to annihilate some americans... ;)

But seriously, that would really be a fun project, and I think I'd be in, if you'll have me.

Awww come on Penn, help a fellow frogger out.

I live in an apt complex with man-made lakes, so plenty of water for you guys to swim around in.

Can help me get back at some evil geese that have been terrorizing me too.

Will get us some tasty Americans too.


:D

Okay, so this frog's email program is utter garbage. It has "detained" my messages for the past three days...

So anyone who wants to speak to me, until further notice, use this adress, which is also my MSN Messenger passport thingny:

[email]jentrysenvy@hotmail.com[/email]


Nyt, the answer is yes, so start planning for some room on your couch buddy.
Dawn, if you can make it, we'll have a load of fun.
Shei, where would you get the car man? If you can provide or something, then I might go on a road trip. Hell, what the heck, might be great!



I sent Kam, Nyt, Dawn and Xlor an email using hotmail, and of those only Xlor's had a weird message saying:

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

[email]chill@darkhelm.net[/email]

Because, as my signature mentions, the [email]chill@darkhelm.net[/email] addy is non-operational. As that would be sent to my server, which isn't online right now, it's kind of hard for it to work. The alternate e-mail is [email]xlorepdarkhelm@hotmail.com[/email] (or [email]xlorepdarkhelm@yahoo.com[/email] even can work, but I REALLY don't check that one). come on, you've even sent me a message to my hotmail addy.

Oh, you were planning on going by plane...

Lets see, indianapolis...

Hmm... not THAT far... actually closer than going to florida... Would take 2 days tops I guess, and less if I'm driving ;)

Anyways, it could be cool. I can provide the car (and a brand new one too!). We'd pack it with munchies and all...

I was thinking of driving, myself. That would be quite a trek from Seattle, but might be worth it - haven't been on a road trip in a while.

Got your previous email by the way, you sent to my webmaster account. :P

The one currently being plagued with spam that I haven't checked in months that I plan on killing here soon. :D

Anyways, got a big sectional couch and plenty of floor for sleeping bags and such, come on over.

Me neither, at least not one of that length recently.

My recent one was to Fort Wayne (aka Fart Wayne) and that's only about a 2 hour drive.

Plan to head out to the MD area this August or September though.
