We can always kidnap you.

Ah, I'd like to make this meeting. I was thinking maybe I'd go to the 21+ one, but I'm not sure if the person coming with me is 21+...;;; I think we're probably going to both needs rides, though...

Well this one is right in the Hyatt. So rides should be far less of an issue.

[KeySmash]

I shall not be late this year!

What about the Ihop Jaunt?

From my understanding, rides are never a problem if you decide to go. However, it will probably conflict with the late night meetup.

[FlyingElf]

Plus, the Ihop jaunt is a separate thing. We're going to hang around the hotel and talk for at least an hour or two before they even head off to Ihop. I don't even go to Ihop honestly, just the hotel part.

[linlindesu]

this thread makes me want to say "jaunt" on a regular basis.

Hoping to show up for more than 1 minute this year. every time I get there, everyone's already grouped up and introductions have already been done so I just sort say hi to a few people and pounce away.

:< I was in the reg line on Thursday for foreverz ( I will never ever forget to hit mailing again x_X) so when I came in I saw like, 2 people I knew. Said hi. and then was told by my room group I was the one paying for pizza and drinks for the evening so I figure awkwardly meeting new people < getting yelled at my the people that could potentially leave me out of the room all night.

[FlyingElf]

So wait? Why are you rooming with people who make you buy them stuff or lock you out of the room?

[LADY SAKURA]

i'll make an appearance as usual if anyone remembers me O_O it's been a while since i've been around the forums

[nouseforaname]

This is on Thursday? What time and where? I might actually make it for a first.

8PM on Thursday. Pretty sure I have the location right (highlighted in yellow). Also, be aware that the location is subject to change if we are forced to, for whatever reasoning.

For reference (and if you can't tell), this is the street level floor of the Hyatt O'Hare.



==========

Also, to kinda give an idea of how it typically breaks down.

Meetup at 8pm, identify yourself by name/forum name at the beginning (this is not law but makes it easier..especially as a forum M-n-G), random discussions and other shenanigans commence.

After a bit of time (overall time of meetup varies but the crowd seems to be getting larger over the years..so the overall period increases somewhat), people will typically diverge into three paths.

Some people will remain at the con immediately after, others will venture out and hit up a somewhat local IHOP (google map location), and others will venture off to a somewhat local sports bar called Shoeless Joe's (google map location). IHOP is a general admittance affair whereas Shoeless Joe's is a 21+ meetup.

Shoeless Joe's Meetup Thread

Both remote locations are not what you would call places you would venture to on foot or even on bike (I say this because it will be dark). Both groups typically have willing individuals who are able to provide rides and some others will also call up the plethora of cabbies in the area. This goes for to/fro transportation.

For those interested in getting their IHOP on Thursday night, someone should put up a thread up and coordinate more intimate details therein.

In looking at the map for both places, they are literally down the street from one another. One could technically hit both.

That time works out pretty well for me. I'm not a bar person at all since I don't drink but I'll go wherever my feet take me.

Same here everyone was already grouped up by the time I came haha. I got to introduce myself but I ended up staying by the wall like an awkward kid.
Hopefully this year I'll show up on time since I know where it is now.

I remember trying to drag you away from it at one point to no avail. For shame!

[Normandy]

Since I am able to attend Thursday now, I'll be at the Meet and Greet! So I can stand around awkwardly and mostly talk to the people I already know. >_>

[Gabichox]

^ You and I can shuffle together and go pick flowers or something like true awkward wolf pack members.

@FlyingElf - Drag me away from the wall? That shall never work. The wall and I are great friends dating back to school days.

[nouseforaname]

I don't know anyone but I'll talk with whoever as we've known each other for a while.
