Magical Mystery Tour EAST 2010 - DAY 1 COMPLETE!
Posts
A bit bigger.
And since I haven't been active in this thread for quite a while, I figured I'd give my opinion of the whole Duck Tour idea... Basically, the Duck Tours in Seattle aren't anything like the ones Ive seen here... I dont know if maybe I just saw a few duds, but it just seems like they are alot less energetic and less fun than the ones in Seattle. Also the actual vehicles look super old lol.
Most are WW2 vehicles so of course they're old.
i know that, but at least the ones in Seattle decided to put a new coat of paint on.
Also, the Red and Blue version of the bus will be awesome! Blue can be for Prime, and Red for East!
And that would be an awesome thing to put on the side of the bus for the PAX East MMT logo if you could pull it off Nomad! That'd be excellent!
Yeah thats what I was thinking when I made the blue one too. Basically I took goose's, blew it up a bit more, and then redrew it to make it nice and crisp. If you want anything changed on it, just let me know, I have the original photoshop file with the layers still.
Ugh, this week has been pretty miserable, it's the first time I've been sick enough to actually need to go to the doctor in more than ten years. Ugh. I should've probably gone earlier, but I figured it'd pass on its own like it usually does. Hopefully things will begin to be better by tomorrow and I'll be a bit more cognizant in the evenings... and thus able to keep pushing on what's left to be done with the site to get voting working.
Edit: oh yeah, we have to go see the Rocky Horror show in Cambridge.
Are you up for giving it one more shot Nomad?
Boston harbor there is a mock ship where you can throw tea boxes into the water. The boxes are tied to
something with ropes so that they can be retrieved.
Does that sound interesting?

EDIT: Ugh, procrastination and 1 vs. 100 killed my productivity this weekend. =( I'm almost there though, I've got a lot of testing to do... perhaps the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend can give me the time I need. I just have to get my butt in gear. =(
A lot of things, I think, are still up in the air about pre-PAX activities in Boston: there won't be a CCST to meet up with for example, but there will be trains incoming. There also hasn't been anyone to step forward to arrange a Pre-PAX Dinner either... so if these gaps aren't filled by other Pre-PAX activities, the MMT could theoretically extend further into the evening!
Basically, keep an eye out over here, and as we figure out what's happening for MMT East you'll have a better idea of how much tour will be left to do by the time you get here. Either way, it should be fun!
Sorry
Still could be a good place to hit up anyways though!

I've had a week from hell over here... but I'm planning on making some improvements this coming week as long as it's a better week than this one has been work wise. =(
The location voting is up! If you haven't already, register, and then go to:
http://mmt.vthornheart.railsplayground.net/locations
to vote on locations!
Note that you can also add your own location(s) if you wish, and update existing locations' information at will! I figure this will be useful, because a lot of you know more about many of these locations than I do, and may have more to propose... and now you can do it automatically!
Also, if anyone can come up with better Up, Down, and Neutral vote images, I'd be glad to take them... the current ones are my own (terrible) artwork.
I'll be adding more features and making the location voting prettier as we go, but at least this should be a good start... so get to voting!
Thursday. I wouldn't be fussing if Wednesday, since I'd have all Thursday.
So, on the voting topic, is there anything else you guys might want from the voting system? I tried to make it simple to use. Let me know!

If any of you feel like you've got a great idea to add to it, or just want to tool around with it, I can make you a write access account upon your request.
I apologize for the mess in there, there's some half-implemented stuff going on in the source from an idea that I decided to wait until later to implement (supporting multiple MMTs from a single site). I started working on it, and then realized that I could just spawn off a new subdomain and post a fresh copy of the site there, and then change some text... which isn't elegant, but it'll work for now.
I was thinking about an on-foot tour as well earlier, that one sounded like fun... but early on it seemed that a lot of people weren't up for the walking tour because of the time of year, and with Nomad's success in renting a bus I figured we'd give that a shot... I'm still looking into the bus situation however. My initial sending of E-Mails to the sales departments of various charter companies I could find only netted one response, but they had these buses that were apparently more like sleepers, and they said they didn't do the kind of thing we wanted to do (drive around to locations around town). I'm going to start making phone calls after the new year and see if I can get a hold of some of these people.
To try and speed up this preparation process, I'm going to officially end location voting on February 10th: so if you haven't done so already, go to the MMT website and register to vote now!
