Don't worry about the invasion. Our SA80s jam in the desert and there aren't enough boots to go around. You'll be fine.

Continuing the discussion from Page 20 of the last thread, AGI is the designated European name, so you can't have a PEELathon in London. I think you should all come to Reading though. I can give you the tour. Festival 06 perhaps?

Our SA80s just jam.
Not enough boots, kevlars, bullets, radios, DPMs... real reasons to go to war...but the best soldiers in the world I thank you!

What really gets me is that we're invading to show you how to do meets properly...and most of the things we were hoping to do are illegal for most of us suddenly. What kind of f**ked up country is the US?

We've been meeting up in NYC for 3+ years, I don't think we need any Brits to "show" us how.

We just need you to bring me candy.

(and I think Kloudes wants to cuddle with Melll)

Even I want to cuddle with Melll (Disclaimer: I don't really, but it made you either laugh or barf - either way I'm good).

I just confirmed the bad news that I won't be able to make it to NYC on that weekend. Among other obstacles, my daughter has her dance recital that Saturday. I'm NOT ALLOWED to miss that one.

Any Brits want to amend their plans to drop by Toronto on their way back actoss the pond?

VF: If by cuddle, you mean latch herself to his side and never let go, then yeah.

Pshh... Kloudes gets at least Mel, Tongue, Shauck, Pitt, and VF to cuddle with. Almost makes me want to go down to Orlando. But why does Florida have to suck so much?

Puh, I wouldn't want to cuddle with anyone else if you would just do it yourself.

Well... maybe I'd still want to cuddle with Lee, but that's a different story... Go down to Florida if you want to! I understand that Venus is hotter, funnier and more intriguing than me...

VF, he does. That's why I put up with him (not sure why he puts up with me.)

Avogadro's number is ~ 6.02 x 10^23. The Doc is correct here, that's a lot of woot.

On topic, I've heard a rumor that Avogadro's corpse is going to make an appearance at Nasty's BBQ. Something about brains...

America, tie a yellow ribbon round your neck because Sammy's on his way! I know i've been vague about everything up till now, truth is I had no idea what would be going on in my life until it got closer to the time. But now i'm booked and it's all sorted.

Details
Outward: British Airways Flight 177 (Heathrow -> JFK) 13.40-16.05
Homeward: BA Flight 186 (Newark -> Heathrow) 08.15-20.05 (same as Melll)

I get in an hour before Melll, at a completely different airport. I'm gonna try to make the planned Melll/VF/Nix meeting outside Newark airport by a bus or Airtrain, unless anyone has any better ideas.

I'm sleeping in Melll's hotel room bathtub.

This is gonna kick ass so hard.

I just picked up some fresh guitar strings, and after nearly twenty five years of putting it off, I picked up a tuner.
And some picks.
I'm ready to make noise.

I guess that corpse would be me. I absolutely KNEW it was 6.02... damn senility. That's it... I'm heading for the nursing facility now. Can anyone feed my cats for me while I recuperate?

Can I have a closer "head" count for the Friday BBQ so I can make sure I have enough to eat and drink. I'm thinking of maybe some beer/soda/lemonade/iced tea for drinking and of course the hamburgers/hot dogs and if Nasty Pasty is good... some buffalo wings.

@archie - yes I did!

Sorry I didn't say

@mom:
If it's Friday, me and Archie definitely won't be there, unless it runs past 10pm or something...

/edit - again - a thought occurs. Do you think we'll be able to pick our seats on the plane? Or have we already technically booked our seats. I'll find it a bit annoying if we go to New York together and back but are seated at opposite ends of the plane...

Sammy, if I wasn't enthusiastic on the phone this afternoon, then excuse me while I cartwheel around the room. It's fantastic you're coming, and you may yet have a bed, unless I score, then you're back in the bathtub.

Nasty: That's something I thought of, basically, I'd pass Archie and Doug details of your souree and they could get a cab after they've checked in. I reckon we could keep it going until the small-hours.

I eat enough for three Thunders. Beat that.

EDIT (after reading further up this page):

Anyone can have a cuddle from me, I'm comfortable with my heterosexuality that Bergy can go on my list, although Kloudy gets in first. That's a given.

This was Pitt's post:

Quote

Orignally posted by Pitt Clemens (on page 17 of the last thread):
I'm gonna make peelathon for sure, just tell me where to be, when to be there, and if all else fails, I'll ride a bus. Here I am in beautiful Conneticiut. But a train hop to NYC.
I'll pay a quick 50 to anyone who will let me crash in their room. You can write this off on your taxes.

Aside from Archie (and Joysauce) who both replied to this, any takers for rooming with UnderpantsMan?

Which leaves Jeff and Molly. Post already, even if it's to tell us to get stuffed.

I totally forgot how my arrival time was calculated. Perhaps I was estimating what time I would arrive at the hotel. That being said, Northwest Airlines just sent me a little e-note saying my flight has been rescheduled to two hours later (wheels down at Newark allegedly at 3:30PM). Therefore, if the same formula applies, my new "arrival" time will be 5PM. I don't think this will cause any major problems, but if someone can double-check, that'd be great.

Edit: Also, my room is always open to ~~paying customers~~ friends.

Edit: Also also, I was reading about "Monty Python's Spamalot" in the paper today. I thought about how cool it would be if we went to see it, but then I figured such a feat among PEELers would probably result in catastrophic nerdsplosion.

Errrrgh.

OK, if I don't make it to this deal, what are the chances that the Beerdie Weerdies will play next year? When you answer this question, please think only of yourself. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear. I need to carefully calculate the gains and losses.
