[META] SF Combat Training/ARGFest-O-Con: Check in Here! OK, since the other thread has gotten unwieldy (and rank has its privileges)......
Since the Combat Training is only going until 9:00 pm, I'm taking it upon myself to declare a subsequent ARGFest-O-Con afterward, at a location which will be determined. Typically, we've met at a nice bar and grill type place that has room for a bunch of us. If any locals know of someplace nearby you can suggest, please PM me, rather than post here.
Let's save the following posts for simply letting us know you're coming. I'll edit this initial post to announce where/when we'll meet up after the Halo2 event.
EDIT: See the Combat Training Registry for the complete list.

Will be at the Training Exercise... I will be at the exercise, but I am not sure how late I can stay after that. I have to work Friday, so I may have to beg off....but I will sure as heck try!

Should we be discerning between who's been confirmed by Melissa and who's just going to show up? Or has the vast majority of everyone (even people not confirmed as crew in previous exercises) already received Melissa mail telling them they're on the proverbial "list"?

Cpl. Pants will be there All we have to do is get within a few blocks. By now, I'm convinced that we'll be able to smell ILB connections in the air.
I'm so there, red hat and all. vpiSteve, please add me to the list.

vpisteve, if you can edit the post, I think it'd be a cool idea to have everyone's name optionally link to their pictures, so we can recognize each other at the site Thursday night. I know a couple people already have, but it's gonna get insane if everyone makes extra posts with their specific pictures.
Here's my crew photo , from Band & Entertainment , of course. I'm not taking the guitar, though... I don't think Kristin would let me, plus I can't really play anyway

You, akodo bob, blue ninja and myself should probably coordinate something. oh...and unfortunately our fearless leader Arana can't make it.

That's a great idea, and, (begging the steve's permission, of course) I encourage people to send him a PM that contains the exact formatting (for example) to link to a picture, so he can just drop it on your name in the main post.
I'm also bringing a notepad, cause this is going to be
twice
thrice as confusing as any social gathering, cause we're going to have names, pseudnyms, and ranks.
I don't care about being called a nerd anymore. Not only am I "on the list" somewhere for once, but I'm gonna get to hang with a bunch of cool people in SF. Aren't nerds supposed to be social outcasts and sh--stuff?
(pre-emptive edit: yeah, I believe "geek" is the perferred and more correct term, to make exactly the above distinction. )
