Hey guys! Man, it was great meeting everyone and I have to say that trip was fun as hell. Thanks a bunch to ixintro for setting the whole thing up. It's always good to see an online community come together and form new friendships. It's unfortunate Tom couldn't come, but we had fun none the less, didn't we? We even made that short film!
So this thread is for discussing the trip and furthering any discussions we may have started there (like when Corky52 had a religious breakthrough after almost falling into that pit, haha!). To kick this off, I'd like to list some highlights of the trip that I thought were awesome:
Remember when everyone dropped out at the last possible second after myself and my friend Luke took off valuable work days to go? Man, that was great. Oh, and what about that time we had to go camping somewhere because we already had all of our stuff ready and it would have been a complete waste otherwise? Yeah, that was cool. Hahaha, and then we decided to go to upstate New York and ended up in Woodstock with a bunch of dirty hippies? Good times. The best part was when we were setting up camp and Luke broke his finger with the sledgehammer while driving a stake. I'm glad we were all there to share that experience. But really, nothing beats the time on the way back when Luke's tire blew out on 287 and we almost died...except maybe Tom mentioning the meetup in the first sentence of his news post after everyone had already dropped out, making us all look like huge biscuits.
>:(
Look, we were pretty pissed off at first, and yes Luke did break his finger and we did almost spin out on the highway (and as I type this, Luke is still in New Jersey getting his car fixed). However, we figure this is a good learning experience for those of us who have not planned a meetup before.
After getting to the campsite near Woodstock, we calmed down a little bit and legitimately enjoyed ourselves the rest of the time we were there. It made us realize how awesome it would have been if we had actually gone to Centralia and everyone had been there. So next time there needs to be a rock hard cock solid plan.
Here are some things that we should consider before trying this again:
-Where are we going to stay?
-What are we going to do?
-Are there any places to eat/buy food?
-What are the cooking arangments?
-Who is driving and who needs a ride?
-What is our time frame?
-What do people need to bring?
If all of these things were planned ahead, the whole meetup would seem a lot more stable and people would be a lot less likely to drop out at the last second.
Credit is due to both ixintro for coming up with this idea and to BetaOrionis for helping to solidify this thing as best we could, but let's face it, you can't build a house out of super glue and pubes. It's regrettable, but not a huge deal.
So what do you all think? Should we try another Centralia trip or just pick a good camp site somewhere in the middle of everyone? I don't think Luke or I will be taking any more time off too soon, so we have plenty of time to consider things. Let's just use this as an opportunity to form a good idea.
