I'm not sure what time I'll actually be there Friday, but count me in for stuff that evening if I get there in time, and for checking out the gameon exhibit on saturday/general shenanigans. I don't know about karaoke-my friend is doing a room party at the acen building, and I make it a rule to never miss it.

Who's up for planning another hivemeet in a few months?

[Anton P. Nym]

So you can't make it for sure, thebruce? Dang. I was going to PM you this evening to check, but I guess this'll do.

Still hanging on to the faint hope that something'll come through for you.

-- Steve promises to remember he has his camera this time. Honest.

thebruce, we gotta get a fireflies meeting together at some point, actually... and for once, we should all meet up in Canada, and party with you and jamesi, and um... well, you and jamesi! But for real, we should get together (not soon, cuz unfortunately, I'm using a lot of wife points already to just get a "maybe" for this hivemeet, but yeah...

*DM stops rambling, goes back to spec-ing about PPC

You know Anton, that this whole time, I didn't know you were a canadian. So sorry to have left ya out... But yeah... we gotta get together at some point. And Anton, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, as I used all of my vacation time with the baby being born... But we'll have to keep this idea on the burner for later...

[thebruce]

yeah I'm sure we'll all still be around these forums for a while

it would be nice to set up a canadian gathering... funny thing is, it could go either way - open or exclusive ... everyone in the US is always getting together for special events, but no one ever does anything in canada... if we can set something up where there's lots of stuff to do, then I think it would be a great idea... and all those americans can get a taste of canada for once hehe

but ya as for us, I met up with Steve recently for a smallish LAN party in London, and that was nifty, though short *cough* - me and my buddy were the last to leave cuz we expected to stay a lot longer... but it was great to meet bentllama from Bungie there too.

Anyhoo... we're in the same boat regarding vacation time... I always have 2 weeks pre-booked per year for volunteering at camps, which leaves me (officially) entitled to another 5 days... usually christmas and the odd friday I'm doing something on a weekend...

but let's definitely keep it in mind.

As for Chicago... I'm still working on it... it's not entirely ruled out, but right now it's still a no for me *sigh*

No problem, DM. I guess it never really came up on the Fireflies discussions.

The LAN thebruce is talking about is written up here, mostly by thebruce as I was unconscious by then. We should hold something like that again; it was enormously fun even though attendance ended up softer than I'd hoped. (And I didn't get as much of a chance to just talk with bentllama as I'd hoped, but everybody else wanted to chat with him too.)

In any case, I'm still hoping that you guys can make it.

-- Steve's now working out the logistics of getting from the train station to the hotel at 10:40pm Thursday... but there's gotta be lots of taxis around, right?

[krystyn]

You're going from Union Station to River North? Then, yeah, lotsa cabs!

[krystyn]

I put you on there, QBKooky! Refresh!

Man!
