Better than some godforsaken place, like Texas....
When I hear any man talk of an unalterable law, the only effect it produces upon me is to convince me that he is an unalterable fool.
Man what happened to that tiger's spine?? Also you must not have driven down 35W if you think Iowa has any interesting geography. Iowa is so boring that their state's tourism logo is Iowa with a big question mark in the middle.
Anyways bump me up to 90-95%. Assume I'll be attending unless I tell anyone differently. I'm bringing
Intrigue
. Gnome, when you read this, let me know if you'll be able to get a ride to my house really early Friday morning (like 7 or 7:30AM) or if I have to pick you up (if it's the latter PM me your address).

Seconded.

(Just so we're clear on how much I like spending time with you guys. I wouldn't drive through Oklahoma and Kansas for just anyone. )
Oklahoma is sooo the worst state. Have you seen their liquor laws? Ridiculous.
I don't mind Arkansas, but I have only been to Fayetteville. I have spent a lot of time there though.
West Kansas, I don't mind the drives, but at the same time I am driving by places I am marginally familiar with, and make fun of. It is Nevada/South Arizona/Any desert that suck to drive through. It's cool for like 30 min, and then becomes so horrible.
I'm much much lower chance now. My car has been stalling out on me and I might need to save my funds for a new one. This might be a game day decision, so MoS might need to find alternate transportation if my car dies or doesnt feel road safe.
Bad news -- I gotta drop out this year. I guess a whole mess of extended family and close friends who I haven't seen for over a year are all going to find themselves in my hometown over the 4th, so I'm going to make a pilgrimage to visit them then. I'll make it next year for sure though

I might be able to bring a few Magic (the Gathering) decks if anybody else is interested. Also, if anybody besides MoS wanted any Almond Roca please let me know before Friday.
Flayming Man is officially on Michelle's calendar. She said you will all now discover the truth of how crazy mith's girlfriend is.
(pj: I'd be up for some Magic, and could bring some cards as well - though the decks that are currently built probably suck and I doubt I'll have time to go through them and build anything better, plus my cards are old and might have rules issues.)
w00t! One player down. And don't worry, I don't even want to think about the rule issues that probably arise with my decks. I'm sure a number of mine are "illegal" even in Type 1 nowadays. >.>
Ok, so unless I magically find a ride, I'm /out as long as shea is /out. PJ, don't bother getting the Almond Roca, I don't want you to bring it and then find out I couldn't make it. If I do manage to come, it'll be enough just to get to see all of you...^_^
Anyone in Illinois looking to carpool? I might be able to nab a car, but I need more riders or I can't afford the gas.
