2011 Crapperpalooza
August 15th 2011, 20:47 CEST by m0nty The projected itinerary is as follows: October 2: Melbourne to LA to San Francisco via plane 3-4: visit Silicon Valley and catch up with some entrepreneur peeps 5: San Francisco to Boston via plane 6-8: Hang out with McBain, Hugin and other Bostonian Crappers 9: Boston to New York via train (KATG Bingo that evening) 10-12: Hang out in New York, maybe catch up with Funkdrunk and other NY Crappers 13: Visit Cheesypoof in New Jersey 14: New Jersey to Chicago via rental car 15-16: Hang out with jjz, Chunkstyle, Penguinx and other Chi-town-area Crappers 17: Chicago to Indianapolis via rental car 18: Descend upon Gabe and Brett 19-20: Indianapolis to New Orleans (might dawdle here a bit, maybe stop off a night on the way) 21-23: Hang out in New Orleans, possibly with Jibble, or with a bevy of topless babes (tough choice I know) 24: New Orleans to Beaumont via rental car, visit (hopefully) with UncleJeet and his brood 25: Beaumont to Dallas via rental car 26: Visit Jibble, Mrs Jibble and their plushly-cushioned abode 27: Dallas to LA via plane 28-29: Disneyland, bitches! Or other LA things. 30: LA to Melbourne via plane Part of this itinerary is fixed, particularly around some football matches (MIN @ CHI on the 16th, IND @ NO on the 23rd). The rest of it is open to suggestion, especially the rental car bits. Sadly, Bob and honeypower will be moving interstate and internationally respectively, mere weeks before I blow through Alabama. Which is rather suspicious if you ask me, but hardly unexpected. For those of you who had heard about this previously and are wondering why I stop at Texas, given that my original concept was to breeze right up the left coast to Vancouver... fear not, I have just delayed that part for 12 months. You won't get away that easily. I realise I have not asked some of you aforementioned for permission to visit yet... consider this my request! I will, of course, be contacting people privately and asking nicely. And if you're not on the list but want to get on it, post or forever hold your peace! I want to meet as many of you as my liver can stand. And if some of you are too shy or frightened, that's cool. Except Hugin, no excuses for you. I shall bring wonderment, joy and good vibes to America. I'll deliver more hope and freedom than Obama ever could. It shall be glorious. Oh yes. |

Maybe. There are a lot of good things to see in NY though. |
|
Maybe I can meet him at the MOMA or something, so I can feel like I'm doing something positive with my day. |
|
MoMA is nice. |
|
I'm glad to be on the tail-end of this trip. That way I can gauge the percentage of crappers murdered and determine whether I want to risk the odds. |
|
I can definitely see me stashing G-Man's body in the installations section of MoMA, behind Britney Spears giving birth or the latest Piss Christ clone. |

Thankfully northwest Arkansas isn't a place that should come close to getting on anybody's trip itinerary, so I'm safe. \"Making love to a woman is like working on an assembly line. No matter how good you are at it, you\'ll eventually be replaced by a foreigner or a machine.\"

I can offer up a nice meal and bed if your plane crashes in Utah during the flight from Dallas to L.A. |

So I'm not on your list? I thought we was homies, bitch! 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog

He heard about the time you snubbed me! BUYBUYBUY
|
|
What are you crazy?, definitely visit jj! Go to moma with gman, he's a cultured dude and will enjoy it. You can even meet his longterm girlfriend. |
|
I'll do my best to meet up with you guys on the 18th. Let let me know where/when and I'll bring my latest hair care tips for you. |
|
Yeah, we can meet, but MoMa is out. I work for a living and 10/10 to 10/12 are weekdays. We can get ramen or a drink or something after he gets out of MoMa though. |
|
gaggle knows, we serve a butt-kicking pasta salad. |
|
Yottie, AZ is the start of the second trip next year. |
|
Or Utah, then AZ. Depending on geography. |
|
I guess AZ first, then Vegas and north to Utah, then through Idaho to Oregon. I seem to have covered Cali in this year's trip, so won't need to go there. |
|
He will be visiting a zoo every city, and notable zoos between. |
|
Also, CheesyPoof, where exactly do you live again? I need to book my car rental to start somewhere near there. |
|
Woot, I'm avoided! |
|
Don't forget Washington! We have a place to sleep, we love visitors and my wife cooks far too well. You know, if you make it out this way. ;) "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients

When is Bob moving? I wonder if I could do a trip down the coast and catch both of you. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle
|
|
Not a clue. Ergo is in Oregon too I believe... "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients

Should be soon I hope. I'm working on getting my car ready so I have the ability to say "Fuck it, I'm leaving tomorrow". BUYBUYBUY
|
|
Go with the Devil you know |
|
Bob, don't make me crack out the e-mails again! But seriously, where are you moving to now? 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog
|
|
Back to Portland, or maybe Seattle. Haven't decided yet. I quit my job a few months ago. BUYBUYBUY
|
|
Depending on when you're in SF, I may be able to get you a work tour m0nty. |
|
Woo! As the OP says, I'm there on the 3rd and 4th. Meeting you would be enough, Trunks, the work tour would be a bonus. |
|
I wish I could get one of Trunk's work tours. 52 Weeks and Something's On Movie Blog

|
me too! for the family! We are not huge nerds or anything... "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients

|
Um, I'd like a work tour too... Funk. |
|
So, what are the NE crappers doing for the hurricane? G-man, Funk (for the limited time you're not a zombie), I guess. I got all the outside inside and will be riding this SOB out. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Business as usual for me. I bought a new video card (see the Thread for details) and plan to hunker down and play a lot of games. The hurricane is basically a no-show as far as I'm concerned. Nothing but light drizzle so far (6 pm EST here). People in Williamsburg were going nuts stocking up on bottled water and bagels and shit. I can't understand stockpiling in a super urban environment. What the fuck do these people think is going to happen? Even if your apartment explodes in a ball of fire, you can just walk five minutes to get more food/water/money/shelter/xyz. The only annoying things about the storm so far are: 1. That NYC shutdown the public transit system way in advance (noon today) and I have no idea when it will be back online. I had plans to go over a friend's place to play an Exalted session but had to cancel. 2. My fiancee's flight to NYC was delayed (she is in Mexico City right now) from Sunday to Monday night. Like I said, not a big deal. |
|
Well it's a no show because it's not schedule to arrive yet. :-P We'll be to the west of the eyewall which is good, but my parents are in the south shore of Nassau county and not moving (south of Sunrise highway). Old people, go figure. Fiancée? I must have missed the memo, when is the blessed even? I'd be happy to represent PC. :-P <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

No date set. Targeting late Summer next year. I'll think about the invite - trying to keep it small (and losing). |
|
I'm just staying at home. My TV blew out a couple weeks back so I am using the silence as an excuse to be productive with home stuff to do. I live 2 blocks from a Zone 3 flood area, but I'm not worried about it, as - in theory - Zone 3's are only affected by Cat 4-5 storm events. I'm more worried that strong winds may rip down some trees, knock down power lines and cause me to lose power. Last time I had a black out it took Con Edison 10 days to restore power, and the way they restored it was with a generator. Funk. |

What the fuck do these people think is going to happen? Even if your apartment explodes in a ball of fire, you can just walk five minutes to get more food/water/money/shelter/xyz. In my experience the worst part after a mild hurricane is the power outages. It's easily possible the power will be out long enough for the stuff in your fridge to spoil, the batteries in all your surviving electronics run down leaving you boredSecond is the affect on transportation infrastructure. Hurricanes affect areas pretty broadly, so being able to walk five minutes to get stuff isn't a guarantee (say if an entire area floods, roads collapse/are cut off, etc.). It's nice to have clean water and non perishable food if your bottom floor floods and you can't get out of the house, or the neighborhood, etc. That said, people go batshit when it comes to buying hurricane supplies. Buying generators, wiping out supermarket shelves, filling up barrels with gasoline, etc. Be prepared, sure, but have some damn sense. Looks like Irene's only a Cat 1 at the moment so it shouldn't be too bad, though I'm sure it'll be scary if you live in a high rise or something that sways in high winds. Stay safe people. |

it's not just hurricanes. People do the same thing here for big snow storms. It's crazy, people instinctively plan to be trapped forever. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Welp, survived. Lost power for about half dozen hours or so, so I feel fortunate. Town is flooding where the river is. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Please caption this photo of my daughter. "The buyer of a [credit default swap] does not need to own the underlying security or other form of credit exposure; in fact the buyer does not even have to suffer a loss from the default event." WHEEEE!

#38 by G-Man trying to keep it small (and losing). Good luck with that. It'll be whatever size she wants. "THE FUCKING KITTY LITTER FUCKING BOMB GHRHGURHGUHGRUGHRUGHURHGURHGHHGHUAHUHU KITTY" -- greg

Yeah, I know. The tactics I use when negotiating settlements don't really work on her that well. Re: captions - maybe something like "OMG HAX!" or "RROD again!?". I dunno. Everything sounds so cliched. |
|
Invite us all to the wedding, idiot. 99% of us won't show but a non-zero amount might send a gift. |
|
Woo! As the OP says, I'm there on the 3rd and 4th. The 4th would likely work best for my schedule. How much time do you have free? Depending on that, I may be able to throw in a tour of the ranches. I'll email you specifics once I get things set up. |
