MOObash!

Ok, guys.. I'm trying to organize MOObash in Chicago this summer. I'm shooting for June or July, but I need some feedback from everyone on when is best.

I'll be able to post an approximate price on the trip (excluding travel) once I've gotten an idea of who plans to attend. Also, when we get things a little more solid, I'll post ideas for a tenative itinerary.  I need to know peoples' approximate budgets, too, so that I can try to keep costs reasonable for everyone.

One thing I've already got planned is a cookout at my house on the last day. I'm figuring this to be a, say, three day event?

Let me know what you think, and what's do-able. If you have any questions, direct them at me or Kaial. Thanks.

yeah… sure... select an area where many of y'all live why dontchia.... ;)

heh. i'm planning on doing a 1 month off(or 2 if i save enough) thing in the summer... going to newyork... going to burningman... doin' the whole heave ho and road trip bonanza across the states. i've never been to chicago. i hear it's a city worth lookseeingn tho.

mmmm road trip bonanza

3 days?!

How the hell am I supposed to score on a MOO chick in 3 days?!

Oh wait … nm.

Oh, and yes, I'm in, assuming my source of income doesn't go bankrupt ... again.

Yes, yes, all come and let Des know what you think, I'm sure there will be good times ahead.. Come one people. Moo bash in MOTHER-FUCKING-CHICAGO!!!

But I definatly think it should be after the third of July.. Yeah, most definately after the third. Maybe some activities for the over 21 SDers…. :biggrin:

Yes, so post one, post all, let the ladies know what's up. You won't be sorry.... Unless of course you can't go. :wink:

Well, I'd love to come, but seeing as how I'm under 18 and still live with my parents

*glares into the other room at them*

I may not be able to, but perhaps I can steal away for a roadtrip ;)

I dunno if I can go or not, but I'll see what I can do.
It's possible I could come.  Sounds like fun and all.  Umm, I think, since I'm still not sure what it is quite, but ummm…...yeah.
A bunch of sit around in a park wishing we had wireless access so we could MOO and IM to each other about each other while a few people get high, a few people get drunk and few people grill …

... this is gonna rule.

I like the way this man talks!
If I have still have money then, and there's beer, I'll be there.
I'll make sure there is beer, someone else is going to have to help with the other party condiments ;)
hey..  yeah.  and we can dress and act like our charecters.  Rent out a bar for the night(s) and call it the drome…

But seriously.  I wanna come!   I can spin some music too..  house, breaks, trance...  progressive to hard.

I'll have to see what my budget is, work some funds up and stuff.  But I deffinantly want to attend.

Hell, I'll get lame ass t-shirts made so we can all remember it when were washing our cars with them!

Or you could buy your own.

I mean, the Hottie T just SCREAMS Wet Sindomian T-shirt Contest.

GREAT!!

So, uhm.. Toss some convienient-sounding dates at me, people.. I understand if you don't know what you're doing yet next summer.. But at least let me know, like, when you can be/are on vacation this summer. :)

This way, I can sort of shop around. I may be putting you all in a hotel outside of Chicago, because it's cheaper. We're like 30 minutes from the city, though, so it's not like we're far.

Hrm.. Don't I still have a shirt on order?

hehe Ordered that before they shut down my checking account. Oops.

All the t-shirts are white.  :(  heheh
Not true, one of them is grey.

(Edited by Lucien at 2:35 pm on Dec. 23, 2002)

I'm in.

To be honest, June works better for my bad self, but if it falls in July, so be it. I'll take time off from whatever crappy summer job I get.

*pops off to mapblast.com to see travel times*

holy shit, it's only a two day drive!

I'm in. I'll be driving down. So, anyone from the Calgary/Edmonton/Alberta area, or anyone along the way to Chicago and within a reasonable detour from the route, speak up, you can hitch a ride with me in my Ford Tempo. I've got room for 3 more people. (Pitch in for gas shouldn't be too bad, bout $40.00 or so for the round trip.)

As per usual, my budget will be shoe-string. I'm an art student.

*sets aside some student loan money*

They charge ME more for the black ones and since not a SINGLE player has bought ANYTHING from the store, I don't have much incentive to pay more to get them made :(

But, I stray off-topic …

So, dates ... anytime after the 3rd of July will work for me. And Lucien, you're going to be my official Beer-Bitch, so you better start saving :)

No, honestly I don't drink much beer.

~ J

Wow, I'm honored Johnny, but I've already got bitch duties for Des and Kaial's players, go figure, bote lesbians, but I love them anyways….

Man, I'm gonna be one busy bitch boy...

Atleast I'll have fun...

I'm DEFINITELY in! Nothing stops me from coming, no expense, no whiny parents, no lack of transporation, no deaths, no diseased rodents, nothing will stand in my way. Where there is MOOBash, there is Tylissa.

I would so love to meet everyone.

I would say that I prefer it's not over June 19th, but aside from that any day any week in June or July ought to be fine. You make it happen and I'll find a way to be there! I must say though that it would suck if you did stuff that excluded those of us below 21. I'd need to try and get a fake ID first… grumble mumble. Anyway, I'll do whatever I can to help plan! Just make it happen! PWEASE!

Or you could just have a bash in the land of Oz, where you can drink once you're 16.
It'd also be good if it was on a sort of weekend schedule sort of thing, like a friday-sunday event, in case those with jobs can't get a few days off i the middle of the week.
teehee you silly americans with that 21+ imbibing limit…

i know! everyone can come up to canada where you can drink when your 18 (at least in all the nice drunk places)

but really... july's a better bet i think... how hot's it in chicago in the summer anyways?

oh and pfft an your beer... i'll bring the hipflasks of vodka if you don't mind.

Quote: from Bias on 12:27 am on Dec. 24, 2002[br]oh and pfft an your beer… i'll bring the hipflasks of vodka if you don't mind.


Well, somebody's never had a Don-De-Dieu.

Oh dammit! That must have been the reason they had the first MOObash in Canadia… where normal people can drink like the decent drunkards they are.

*mutters about American laws*

Uhm.. I'm planning on working out fun stuff EVERYONE can do.. Like.. Dave & Busters or something. I've got 3 days to fill, I'm sure I can find plenty.

And yes, I figured it to be a weekend thing. :)

Ok, so it's looking like the best time is July. Does July NOT work for anyone?

I'm going to start brainstorming with most of the Chicago crew to come up with activities and cool places to go.. Uhm.. I wasn't originally planning any Chicago sight-seeing, like the Sears tower and all that, so if you guys actually want to do that stuff, let me know.

Ok.. 1…2..3... PLAN!

do i dare ask what a Don-de-Dieu is?

if you say a mixture of vodka and beer i think i shall cry…

Don De Dieu is french for 'Gift from god', it's the name of a ship under the command of Samuel de Champlain de Brouage, commissioned by the King of France in 1608 to pursue, by way of the great canadian waterway, the exploration of North America.

History lesson aside, there's a brewery in Chambly, Quebec, which brew some of the most purely amazing gourmet beers in the world. Don De Dieu is (IMHO), their best. Triple white ale brewed on lees, it has a slightfly fruity taste, and is absolutely wonderful with lamb, pork and other white meats. It's also great for getting hammered, at 9% alcohol.

Aww dang…. I'm in Brazil... :(
Well then…I'd like to say I'll be there, seeing as I live down the street from Des.  But some mistakes were made and we've been on a little less than speaking terms.  Don't know If i'd be welcome and I won't be the one to make someone uncomfortable. So Des...When ya read this, and If you feel like it get back to me, or not... You know my AIM and my e-mail is [email protected].
Well Xee you shouldn't have any problem.  Just hitch a ride with some Mexicans, and raft up through the Gulf.  If you leave now, you just might make it in time.
Well… For me to get to Mexico its almost the same distance... :/
Alla..

Ok, look. I'm making this a public reply, in case anyone else is considering not going because of some stupid OOC crap.

Mistakes were made, shit happens. People have conflicts between themselves, and that's a part of life.  I wouldn't ever tell you or anyone else they couldn't enjoy a MOO-wide party, just because of some dumb shit that happened (and especially over some dumb shit like this.). I wouldn't ever consider not /going/ to a MOO-wide party, just because someone I didn't like/had a conflict with was going to be there. We all co-exist in the MOO, I should hope we can all co-exist for 3 days at a party. If not, then no, you shouldn't attend.

Peace, Alla.

And friends. :)

Yeah Alla, besides what about the rest of us? Some of us want as many there as possible. (ooh me, me!)

I have one request though, please come wearing a long platinum blonde wig. You'd be the funniest one to see if we did all dress up like our characters! =P

Oh, you have -NO- idea.

:biggrin:


And.. Alla.. Leave your goatee.. It'd work. Totally.

At least than some of us would know who other people are.  It really would help…...plus it -would- be really hilarious for Alla to show up that way....hehehehehe
On a slightly seriously note, 'Hello Chummer, my name is …' stickers should be ordered ... at least for the first night's orgy.
I'd go as Trancer, but I'd have to lose 250 lbs.
I'd go as Kishiro but I'd have to loose about a foot in height, become Japanese, and well, I think that's enough of a boundary.
i am NOT shaving my head nor my eyebrows damnit.

i'd look so -silly-

at least i DO have canadian features!!! (whatever those are… i'm still not quite sure how that works ;))

question.. are none moo people welcome or will there be stoneings?

*begins to chant "stonings, stonings, stoning…stoners...wait"*

The way I'm hoping to work this, the more people that come, the cheaper it will be for everyone. Chicago people, please expect to pay just as much (save for travel of course) as everyone else does. I'll be forking out my share, too.

Heh, in fact, it's possible -I'll- even have to travel to MOObash in Chicago… Long story.

Heheh, the good thing that i can't go is that I wont have to cut all those scars on my face…

:D

I could go as Ty, but I'd have to get long auburn hair, a smaller chest, and a tighter ass.
Quote: from Tylissa on 11:03 am on Dec. 27, 2002[br]I could go as Ty, but I'd have to get long auburn hair, a smaller chest, and a tighter ass.

*drools*

Lemme see.. To come as Des I'd have to get buff; grow 3 inches and double my chest size; shrink the waist; get nice abs; dye, grow, and dred my hair…..


*sighs*
I wish!

*walks in with a mop and starts to clean up the puddle*

Damnit man, control yourself… Jeeze.

After much angst with this silly thing, I am finally able to post, yay!

*ahem* back to topic,

Yes, I plan on attending, barring any unforseen working-far-awayness.

And no, I refuse to dress up as Chas. It just..won't be happening. We'll just stop there.

So…I dunno if I am taking the bus or my car.

*sigh*

I'd preffer my car. But if nobody else is in my area and needs a ride into Chicago, which I hear is a hell to drive in, I'll bus it. Bias? You comming? And don't you live in Edmonton?

Uhm…I would come as Lena but caw, caw, bang, fuck, she's dead.
:P
Quote: from Lena on 10:40 pm on Dec. 27, 2002[br]Uhm…I would come as Lena but caw, caw, bang, fuck, she's dead.

Rent a hearse?

Well, I wouldn't know who to go as.  I've died so many times…


Roy?  No.
Flemings? Too old and short one leg.
Tanaka?  Not Nipponese.
Cerberus?  Yeah right, like i'm dipping myself in chrome.
Cortez? Pale, yes.  Pale as a cave slug, no.
Marten? Ehehehe.
Grimmy?  Possibly, but I'd have to shed my skin and prance around in a nice black cape.
Me?  Possibly, but I'd have to shed my /clothes/ and prance around in a nice black cape.

Okay, we'll put it to a vote.  If I go, who should I go as?  All you oldbies and admin remember my chars, so decide.


-----
Nudity is not a crime;  public nudity, on the other hand...

Oh, and Bias, BTW– Burning Man is nice.  Take pics of 'em lighting the Man for me would you?  And be sure to build your own art project, and make /most certainly/ sure to burn it down at the end of the festival.  

Black Rock City, Nevada....

*cackles*


Lemme see.. To come as Des I'd have to get buff; grow 3 inches and double my chest size; shrink the waist; get nice abs; dye, grow, and dred my hair…..


Only 3 inches? . o O ( she's gotta be lying )


Anyway, don't think I'm going, but if I were to go and you guys rent some sort of conference hall…I'm almost positive that I could convince work to loan out a WAP, and if nobody's willing to pitch in for bandwidth at least we can get some good frags going on. If somebody were to pitch in for band, *coughjohnnycough* we could LANDome. although I'm not sure that I'm going. Moving to Hawai'i is gonna be costly.

Convince me people!

But Daaaaaaaaave! You gotta come, you know you wanna see the chicago group again..

*dangles a pocket watch in front of Daves face* You will come to Moo bash… You will come to Moo bash... You will come to Moo bash...

Yeah, so you're coming, right?

:cool: And no, I won;t be coming as Lucien, I doubt my hair will be anywhere long enough for it and I'm not getting contacts. Besides, I don't have the body for it, and I doubt I could get it before Moo bash.

Okay…first of all Lucien you should come as yourself or as Lucien or...damn now I just confused my self.   Well...come as Lucien, maybe you can get a chick....and as for you Finn......I've still got your headphones....you really should come get them.  Plus, you know you miss us.
iga - nopers. i live in moomoo town and all i know is…. that i don't know. so on that note... a car ride down there, splitting gas with people would be damned better then greyhoundin it... but oh the interesting people you meet on buses, oh my. ;) i'd have to reserve my 'yey' or 'neigh' for the whole car thing till when the dates of this are official.

plus, like most peoples, my "yes ima comin" is still a rather tentive one. going to burning man is a big financial strain on the budget (since, yup grim, i'm building a project.. nothing lavish. but it's still a 'supplies are needed' type of thing)...at least this year i have all my camping gear. oh and can't forget paying pesky tuition and wanting to build a computer from the ground up for my masochistic pleasure... oh and I WANT A DVD PLAYER! *hisses*

*cough* sorry.

thefinn - go! (you can always hitch-hike) think of the fun you could have escaping insane truck drivers! lucien uhm, go as a can-can girl wearing a feather boa...

*shrug* i felt the need to say -something- with the word feather in it

*wanders off to sell randome body parts on the black market*

mmmm powdered human spleen

Hehe.  My art project for the next Burning Man I go to, if I can find everything I need, will be to set several functional, powered, graffiti-covered 386's aflame with lighter fluid, then tape the results on Hi-8.  Of course, if I could power the 386's throughout the festival, through heat of day, cold of night, and the ever frequent sandstorms, /then/ burn them, I'd be quite happy.  I'd be even happier if I could get a wireless connection to the MOO running on each 386, but that gets into factors of expense and has one questioning one's intelligence/sanity/whatever.


Yet another two shares of the now defunct Enron.

I live in Edmonton, but if I came i'd get stoned and stranded in fucking Chicago.
:cool:Sounds like a blast, don't it?:cool:
Burning man is so commerical now. *Sighs*
Nope. Still gotta barter for everything inside the City.
i dunno… the thought of getting stoned and stranded anywhere has a strange appeal to me right now.

but i'm thinking i'm just feeling restless 'cause of the new year and having had to fly at 5am today� *growls*

and yes bartering... feed your neighbour get some shrooms. help with an art burn get some shrooms. watch someones bike get some shrooms.... *cough*

gota love it... ;)

(i do wish i had been able to catch burning man even 5, 6, 7 years ago... but no i could not...
things evolve... of course then they tend to self destruct in a tragicomic sort of way in the end... but oh well.)

there�s other moments not featured on travel planet ;)

As an aside, Molochai, nice signature.  I believe that's a Bruce Lee quote…

*is a big Bruce Lee fanatic*

Yet another two worthless shares of Enron,

Da Grim One

Well, Grim, actually I was trying to pull a Yoda with a twist, but you're probably right.  I wouldn't know since I don't watch to many old Bruce Lee movies.
Cow Town? As in Calgary?

*eyes Bias*

*nods, grins and throws Iga off the calgary tower*
I could come as Aikao, but I'd have to get GLOWY RED EYES!  And uh..  a shitload of katana scars and bullet wounds, and tatooes, and turn Japanese and..  uh..  uhm..  I think that's about it…  Yeah.
I'm in, but I'm not avalible durring or around hollidays. Like 4th of July. So if it's June or July, it needs to be early-mid June or mid-late July.

Other than that, I'm totally down.

I'll be the long haired stoner on the grassy knoll ignoring the fact that his wireless card dosn't work in the park and coding anyway.

-Kevlar

Oh, look who hasn't posted yet! Me…ok here we go.

I'm in, but that's already been known :)
I don't care about the date, I live around these parts.

I -could- come as Kaial, but I would have to grow 2 inches (nuttin' my grinders won't do for me), go tanning to get that nice, dark complexion, lose my damn freckles, get contacts, and grow my hair out a lil bit longer. Think I can do it??

Oh, not to mention I would have to obtain a bad attitude somewhere along the line and I'll start practicing on spitting a lot. So, watch yer toes :)

When this happens and I catch anyone 'lurking in the shadows'...I'll call ya out...so beware!!

Oh, we -could- take over the Chicago Public Library :) *wink wink*

(Edited by Kaial at 11:12 am on Jan. 5, 2003)

Look whose still alive! muhahahahahah!!!!

As for COT '03, i would love to come, I may be able to drag wren up there, that may be the only way we could go, we have cars, we have some money, we could prolly make the 5 hour drive, if not just for a day…as long as there is whiskey.  don't gimme none of this 9% alocohol!  MOOnshine baby!

But justnot early june, otherwise I should be able to make it.

Oh and guess what (read carefully) My dad used to coach my brothers baseball team, one of the players dad owns a shirt store thingy, if someone wants to make a COT '03 bash shirt, put it up on the site, get johnny to do a poll, take the winning design, I can get shirts made…prolly pretty cheap.  But I would need a definate order #(i may order a few extras for the weekend) and money, i'll get you all shirts!
Hrm…

I think... I should post....

Yes, my goal this summer is to get up there for the big bash. I need a date, however, because I've got a pretty packed summer. (Week long retreat, week long cruise to Alaska (you can all kiss my ass, ;-), etc.)

Anyways. I talked to Dom about it, we'd so be up there if things work out. And we can probably crash at my cousin's house... I don't think they'd care. Again, thats why I need a date ASAP, so I can ask them.

Other than that... I got only one thing to say...

SD or Bust...

As far as dates go… August pretty much doesn't work. June is probably best... the first two weeks in July I cannot do. (I'll be in Alaska... hehehehehehehehe.)

I can get more dates that don't work (like the week long retreat) probably tommorrow.

I could go as D Cubed, hehe anyone who gets that congrats.   I too have a bit of an identity crisis.
Remember this topic???

Ok, guys, I need some serious help here… I'm kinda on my own planning it and I'm not the most organized person on earth.

I need to know what weekend in July everyone would be available to fly/drive/walk/bus/hitchhike/carpool/boat out here for MOObash. I'm trying to get some organized information here together, like the cost of hotel rooms and stuff like that. I also think if we get enough people we get a special rate at Six Flags Great America... And I'd like to look into it.


Any weekend like the 12th, or  the 19th, or the 26th, like arive friday, get together as a big group on saturday (of course some of us are gonna get together and smoke it up that night), that would be groovy.

I can't do the 4th of July weekend.

-Kevlar

Did we write June off? Cause I'm thinking that might actually be better for me. But no worries, if it's in July I can probably still go.  4th of July would also suck for me, but I don't know what difference any of those other weeks might make.  Maybe the last week of July would be the best for me…
12th, 19th and 26th of July are all acceptable for me.
Ditto, but If I'm goin up, I would want to like drive up Thursday afternoon, chill thurs night, party hearty fri and sat, relax on sunday, keep it kinda calm, but still chill with yous guys, and leave sun night or monday.
july? well dang.. ok… july.

it all depends on when a friend is coming to visit here. and i won't know that for a while. *pout*

but hey.. july is better then august :P so woo!

I picked July because I figured it's farther away, therefore easier to plan for. If June works better for most people, then it's fine with me. I'm not going anywhere… Well, not until August.

But I do need some solid input here. I need as many definite answers as I can get. I mean, it's not really all too worth all the planning for no one to show up, you know?  I'm really trying here though.

I may be able to get us a really good deal through a friend who works at a hotel.. Thing is, it's not exactly a five star hotel. It's not a run-down hole, either, but there's no pool, you might find a cigarette burn here and there, etc. If you'd rather pay for a better place, I'm looking into those, too. I just know we're all kinda broke these days, and the cheaper the better.

INPUT!

Please?

Thank you.

Hey Des, go use E-vite before you cancel this thing cause you can't get definite numbers :)

You'll thank me.

I think what you need to do is choose the date yourself. And choose the place.  You're planning so you have to be willing to make some decisions. As a group, we're not going to be that helpful in decision making. I expect we'll just be really grateful that you got everything organized. As for my part, I agree that cheaper hotels are better.  The less money I spend, the happier I'll be. ;)

So, you choose the week, the place, and then tell us to RSVP. If it turns out that no one can go, you can change it.  I think you're going to have to make a decision soon, or else it won't ever happen. Then we'll agree to it. =P

I'm really glad you're taking this on! It's gonna rock.

I'll be there.  Just let me know when and where.  I don't gotta car, but I can work something out.  I'm really looking forward to meeting alot of ya'll, some more than others, seeing as I don't know many of you guys since my play time has drastically dropped.  All I know is if we go to a bar first rounds on me (That isn't a joke either I don't care if there's twenty of us at the bar, I'm buying the first round.)
Sorry Des, just have been informed that I and another SD minor will be away for college-ish things from June 30th onwards.
AGH!
So yes…my vote has now been changed to sometime in the month of June. Darn. There go my fleeting fantasies of a summer break! *sigh*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damint all to hell, you're not supposed to go away before me, you had better be around for your birthday damnit.
I think that you can count me in if it's in June or July… If there's anyone going to be passing through Denver on their way, let me know, that way I wouldn't have to travel alone... :)

All I need is the final date/time/place. And I want someone to make me a nametag.

YAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! :cheesy:
This sounds so awesome. �I'd love to go, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it. �Minor here too. �Don't have a car, can't drive, and if I do I'll have to bring my mummy. �So if anyone's going to be passing through Oklahoma or a near vicinity, i'd appreciate a lift. �The only conflcit I may have is that I want to be here for a friend's birthday, but that can be overlooked I guess?  Not sure. �Anyway..all those dates sound fine to me, just need parental approval…and a ride. �Quite a roadtrip ahead. �But anyway, sounds awesome. �Looking forward to it :biggrin:
