naamanf Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 usually the outlets are limited to 25W or so. And cruise altitude is closer to 30,000 ft.
boomana Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Blech. Bad weather in Atlanta. Still sitting in West Palm Beach Sitting with delays.
Dreadhead Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I'll be at the hotel by around noon on Friday

tyrion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Wuhoo! There's a better than slight chance I'll be swinging by the hotel ~1pm on Friday, anyone going to be around? If so look for the tall, pasty white guy sucking down drinks in the bar. With any luck, I will be there before then. You have my #. Call when you get to the hotel. I'll be the tall, not so pasty guy having a beer with you.
jp11801 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 packing gear and loading the car now, should be there between 2-4 depending on traffic
Hopstretch Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 With any luck, I will be there before then. You have my #. Call when you get to the hotel. I'll be the tall, not so pasty guy having a beer with you. If you guys can pace yourselves till 2:30ish, you'll be joined by a third thirsty tall-y.
naamanf Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 If you guys can pace yourselves till 2:30ish, you'll be joined by a third thirsty tall-y. And if your still standing by 3:30 you can be joined by a short fat guy.
tyrion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 If you guys can pace yourselves till 2:30ish, you'll be joined by a third thirsty tall-y. As I understand it, once you arrive, I am no longer considered tall. The idea is to re-enact the SJ National, which requires a trip to the beach, hitchhike and get a ride in the back of a pickup truck. Having said that, we will probably be at the bar when you arrive. And if your still standing by 3:30 you can be joined by a short fat guy. Do you know this short fat guy? If so, we will have no problem drinking with him until you arrive.
VPI Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 This taller fat guy will be there at noon, though I might have a head start downing as much free airline booze as I can on my way there.
agile_one Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 The VanJam team is assembling ... JP11801, NightWoundsTime, Voltron, Cetoole, and meself had a few brews then attended last night's Giants vs Braves game at AT & T - amazing evening that started here: JPnums, Voltron, and Cetoole pounding Wonderful stuff Picked up Trice after the game, and pounded a few more at Toronado (thanks for the detour, Al), now back at Mayberry for a few hours rest. Who knows what today may bring.
Hopstretch Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Mmm, booze. Packing the cans, and bottles, as we speak. Er, type. Edited May 28, 2009 by Hopstretch
zippy2001 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I'll be there friday afternoon and looking forward to meeting everyone
Aimless1 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Know y'all will have a great time. Someone have a scotch for me. Perhaps another year.
The Monkey Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Right on! You guys and gals are going to have a blast. I look forward to a detailed play-by-play, even if incoherent. Pictures are a must. And I'll know to board a plane and start billing if I see any mug shots. Safe travels to all of you.
Voltron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 After last night's frivolity, I got a good solid 4 hours of sleep before waking up at 5:30am to get on a conference call for work. Excedrin is a good thing, is all I'm saying. Still on the call, but taking a detour to check out the state of affairs. Gene is awake and the rest of the crew in Mayberry is still snoring away. After this call, we have time to play around the Bay, we will pick up the VanJam Sprinter, and check out Jenny Lewis and The Sadies at the Fillmore (West). Perhaps a beverage or two will be consumed along the way. Know y'all will have a great time. Someone have a scotch for me. Perhaps another year. A scotch?! Ha ha ha ha!

Voltron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I just spoke to Dom and I am pretty certain he is a go. Cool. We got to him while we were at the game last night. The power of the plus a little scholarship was a powerful combination! Tell Jenny I love her long time. Maybe I will print out one or your drinking thread self-portraits and try to get her to rub herself with it.
tyrion Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Cool. We got to him while we were at the game last night. The power of the plus a little scholarship was a powerful combination! I want in on contributing to the scholarship. stevieo also told me this morning, after I woke him up, that he is arriving tonight.
Voltron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I want in on contributing to the scholarship. stevieo also told me this morning, after I woke him up, that he is arriving tonight. OK, probably will need to talk to Gene on the $. We also talked to stevieo and he spilled that he was coming. This meet is truly going to be like the Harmonic Convergence, although more powerful than that turned out. Dinny better get on that plane just in case...
Voltron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 I cannot start meet impressions because that is Matt's job, but I think we should merge over some pictures and have an official impressions thread. Anyway, here is how the MOAR team was greeted on arrival here at 12:30 this morning: While I have been on this ongoing conference call, Gene has been clawing away at his laptop and then Stephen came down to join him for some coffee shandies: Ah, the breakfast of champions: More MOAR to come.
Voltron Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Damn I want to be there so bad. There's still time! Just say whether you can make the time, and we will figure out how to make it happen!
JBLoudG20 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 No possible way. Relay for life tomorrow -> saturday. Saturday I pickup the engagement ring, and Sunday I leave for Block Island where I am proposing. Maybe next year
