[Nighthawk]

I am moderately upset.

No... I am EXTREMELY upset!

MY trip to ARGFest this year was in doubt since I had an unexpected career change.

Recent events have sealed it: I have to go out of the country from the 16th to the 25th of July, apparently.

WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Not only do I probably have to eat the $400 in plane tickets I already have, but I was really, really, really looking forward to going this year.

Nothing seems to be going my way this year, apparently.

Have fun in my absense. I will be there in spirit, at least.

Really sorry to hear that Nighthawk... Would've been good to have ye!

That means your slot of rooming is open again.
I was contacted by someone looking for a room for argfest, but I completely forget who and how and can't find the message , so if you read this - plz contact me again =) There's now a spot open. I've got the room booked for 4 nights (thu through mon). PM me and we can work it out...

Due to a lack of funds and an inclination to use my days off to go to Greece to see my mom later this year I will not be making it this year either.

I'll miss you guys...

Hey, someone needs to keep an eye on this place while you're partying, right?

[thebruce]

Man, you too?



On another note... I have another idea for something to do for those who are interested - especially people with iphones
I've added a page to the wiki about geocaching. I picked it up soon after upgrading to the iphone, and haven't stopped since =) Great fun! Anyway, more info on the wiki there. I plan on doing some, spending some time doing some, or just keeping an eye open for some during planned events, etc. When there's free time, if anyone else wants to join in the hunt, it's a very ARGer/puzzler oriented activity , and can be very tourist friendly too.

Portland especially has tons of puzzle-based caches to solve and find. If anyone's interested, lemme know. (or just do it yourself while visiting, but it can be fun in groups too)

Just an idea of something puzzly to do during non-scheduled free times. And there's going to be a lot of that for those of us going to ComicCon after ARGfest

*If* we make it, konashark got himself a GPS device while I was gone. So count us in on the event if it occurs before we catch a flight home (Sunday afternoon?????).

I can bring an item from Iraq for the box - how's that for a unique momento.

So I was there last year when it was in my hometown (Boston) and I could just drop in. I had a great time.

This year I'm flying across the country for it. Still have to book the hotel + flight though. I figure I'll do that today.
