Thread: DV Florida Meet-Up: 2010

Maybe, depends on when an how much it costs me. Would be din o get drunk with u guys

I'd consider it, except summer in Florida would be about fifty degrees warmer than I can stand. I'll stay in my tundra for now, thanks.

Shit, I didn't even think about that!! I'm a winter baby myself! Cannot stand the heat!! I'll be heading out to Canada to snowboard end of next year if anyone wants to join me

Erm...Shift, Lulian, and Moose? Really?

Not saying this is a bad thing at ALL, quite the contrary...I'm just asking...really?

No, not really.

Then again, how would you ever know.

Good question. But I'm just asking because those who "say" they are going shouldn't just say it b/c it simply sounds like a nice idea. People on the list should be over 50% sure they're going. Airfair, driving, lodging prices, food etc. all being factored into the equation.

I guess my point is...I'd really love it if all of you all could go, really I would. But I really don't foresee anyone other than, me, ames, aorozco, mos, pati, o, and boss hanging out in Florida. How many of you would really take a trip to meet a bunch of people they don't know in person just by seeing a thread on a forum announcing a meetup? The FL trip was something we all (save for ames) had discussed in length over the phone (since we talk on the phone to each other all the the time anyway ).

Pati lives an hour or so from me and is driving down to my pad, aorozco is doing the same, Ames is looking into flights to ren de vous with us, we're picking MoS up on the way to FL and boss and O stay 30 min. - 1 hr. from the city in which we're currently pricing lodging in.

All I'm saying, is seriously think this out guys before saying "Yeah! count me in!" Less hopes will be crushed when thw time comes and you don't show up because you may have thought it was just a "cool idea" at the time but weren't really entertaining the thought of going, let alone HOW you could go.

Think about it seriously guys before saying you'll be there. I hope you all can..

I've been wanting to do a road trip for awhile, I'm likely to drive. This would more or less give me a reason to plan a vacation, even if I can't wear my mask when I drink shitty beer. I doubt anything will come up over the next year, so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to get in my car and drive down the east coast. I've done it before, been to Daytona already.

Speaking of driving, if anyone lives on the east coast (from Michigan) I can pick you up. No need to pay for gas either, I have enough money to shell out on useless shit anyway.

Pick me up, Lulian.

Fantastic Lullian!

Spoiler for Pic:

Kept them from my previous trip.

You're kinda in the opposite direction.

Greyhound bus. Likely the way I am going if I can't get a car or enough money for a plane ticket. >_>

Though, three days on a greyhound? Christ... There won't be much for me to do except sleep.

Indeed, it will be really tough - I'd personally have to save up a ton. I figure if I can save up a couple thousand, then I'll be all set. Though, the way I look at it, we'll know if I can go or not at least a month in advance.

And as for flying/driving out to see a bunch of people I've never met? A good question. What would warrant such a vast expenditure of resources for something like that? Well, even if it's a possibility, if it's at great expense to myself, then it's likely not worth it.

But I mean, I don't know how many of you have met up with other people over the internet. I never have. Unless you count that girl from CT that I met over the phone and then dated, with no internet involved. Seriously, though. Meeting that girl was a mind fuck (in a good way). For a DV meet-up, I can only imagine it would be 10 times that. It is probably something none of us will forget. Unless we black-out...


From the alcohol...

I think it's a big chance that I'm coming, guys.

Yer.
It's possible with the amount of I'm making (surprised, right?) But I don't think my parents would allow me. If I move out by next year(har har har) It's a possibility. Next time, make it France or Amsterdam or Italy or somewhere fun, Florida sucks.

Sandform is in Florida, no?

I want to kiss him. :3

If Lulian picks me up then i would go. You all know i would be down for somethin like this.

Only thing is i cant afford to fly down to florida again. Since i am going to korea the next month i will be having to save my money for that. But i will see. Im not anywhere near close to 50% lol so dont put me on the list.

Hmmm, I just remembered that I will probably be going to America (nowhere near florida) around that time. And I'm not worried about it cause of the time, I'm worried about it cause it could cost me too much.

But we'll see.

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm only about 28%. July is maybe the busiest month of the year for me, between family parties and music festivals, but there are some peoples in this crew that I'm sure would be a blast to party with, and that large body of salt water I'm rather fond of

I, for one, have always wondered if there would ever be such a thing as a DV meet up.
Though I do find it hard to visualize myself hanging out with other members from the site,
I have the funds as transportation to get there. I live in Cali and would likely be driving all
the way over. I love driving long distance (what an understatement!), and time appears to
be on my side. I'm not looking at this as only a means to hang out with you guys,
but as an opportunity to do more traveling. I've never been to Florida, or through a lot of
the south/midwest. A few friends would likely accompany me, but all I'm saying in the
end is that this is a trip that I'm very likely to make.

Put me down as a possibility, I've been wanting to meet up with DVers for too many years now...

Are you guys going to call each other by your usernames? That would be weird, haha. I'll be there if you guys move the location to California and only Aquanina comes..

I know someone who says dolphins like delphins. I always look at her like she's saying my name whenever she is talking about them.

That would fly for about 5 minutes Except those whose usernames are more or less their RL names. And I could see myself calling O, "O."

I have RL friends who are familiar with various incarnations of "taosaur," but when they say it they're referencing a project or activity, so it doesn't feel like 'my name' (though it's a more unique identifier than my RL name--to my knowledge I'm still the one and only Taosaur). The only online alias I'm used to answering to, due to Ventrilo and voice chats, is "Vudu."
