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.

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:

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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*

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.

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 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.

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.

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…

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.

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*

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:
