ACEN 2013 - The next chapter (May 17 - 19th)

[Eightball]

I'm in for the chicago convoy, and I can bring like plastic cups and stuff.  No booze or mixers cause I'll just be flying with a carry-on :'(

I'm offering my car and time if you want to get something but can't pack and transport it, just get me the cash and I'll buy and bring whatever.

wink wink nudge nudge

EDIT: Actually though, I have nothing to do Monday through Wednesday, so it's no effort at all for me to pick up stuff that you guys need. I'm already getting stuff for Generic and maybe Zane, so just hit me up.

[Gasman]

Recap:

Started with booze stuff, we have a google document since it's not clear who's actually bringing what: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UWU_...sp=sharing

We need more mixers and party food. I'm offering my car and time if you want to get something but can't pack and transport it, just get me the cash and I'll buy and bring whatever.

Looking for more official events. Hentarmageddon is in, also will add the rave and tf2 panel. Hit me up with more recs though.

Chicago convoy is a go. Probably just doing deep-dish again. I'll post when and if I have a reservation (will shoot for about 12 people). Let me know if you want to go, I have: Dtrain, TOH, At0m, Pie, Serain?

Minor updates pending, ie arrival times and name changes.

Updated the booze doc with a couple foodstuff I'm bringing, and a yes on me going on the convoy.

3 more days!



and Caff, it is against the rules to use the exact same countdown pictures as you did last year.

Damnit. At least it's scattered. Let's hope the forecast improves as we get closer.

Chicago convoy is on.

I browsed around for restaurants in the Loop that could accommodate large parties, and there really isn't anything more appropriate for us than getting Chicago deep dish pizza again. Besides, we have some new faces joining us and I haven't had deep dish in months . I was able to get a reservation for a party of 15 at Gino's East, Friday at 6:00pm. So, expect to leave the convention at 5:00pm. I talked to the manager and they also agreed to let us order our food in advance (so we're not waiting for an hour while they make several large pizzas), so I'll try messaging people about their preferences. This also means we should be able to get back to the convention around 8:30pm.

Menu

Oh, train fare is $2.25 each way.

EDIT
Current guest list: TOH, Greatbacon, Atom + 1, Evil Cheese, LAG, Gasman, Dtrain, Zaneyard, Eightball, Generic, Pie, Serain, TronPaul (14/15)
I know some others expressed interest, gotta check back

[Serain]

Eightball, I want in on the guest list for the Chicago convoy.

[Eightball]

Updated my previous post a little bit. Also put out some updates to the guidebook, you should have seen the updates pushed by now. Also, got some party goodies: Cranberry, orange, pineapple juices, soda water, peach schnapps, sugar syrup, grenadine, angostura, and 100 plastic shotglasses.

Tomorrow: Sodas, lemons, limes. Maybe ping-pong balls. Anything else? (EDIT: Party food, SQUIRT)

EDIT: link to booze list if needed

[zaneyard]

Ruse, Wood Block, Mies and I all look forward to seeing you ne'er-do-wels. We will all be arriving on Thursday.

I had to look up how to spell ne'er-do-wel.

Trip to Gino's is full up now: TOH, Greatbacon, Atom + 1, Evil Cheese, LAG, Gasman, Dtrain, Zaneyard, Eightball, Generic, Pie, Serain, TronPaul, MechaNick (15/15)

If other people are interested, I can call to increase the reservation size. But I'd want at least two people to let me know today or tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, apparently I didn't publish the guidebook changes yet. You should see them take effect in the next 30 minutes or so.
