Hello. Resident Saskatchewanian here. Sounds like me and my crew are going to be the only ones from the middle of nowhere.....
Sooo details to post:
Where are you at?: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan / Middle of nowhere
How many days you going for?: We're planning on arriving Thursday night, and leaving Monday morning. so ummm everything....
Do you have a ride?: Yes. got a car full of 4 of us.
Do you have a room?: Yes. Maybe even two... stupid hotel won't email me back.
Other necessart info: Gotta find a laptop to borrow for the weekend. I keep all my GBA games backed up *cough* on my hard drive. Then I can flash whatever game your playing onto my card, and voila! anyone want to play ANY GBA games multiplayer?
you may no longer be alone. me, my buddy, and girlfriend are (OH GOD I HOPE SO!) going, and we're from Regina.
I just realised today that this was a possibility, i really hope i can make it happen.
yea... maybe i can get her to reschedule :P i really shouldn't miss this either, we were pretty close growing up. and i dont think she'd understand if i told her i was missing it to travel halfway across the continent to play video games.
Where are you at?: Kelowna, BC How many days are you going for?: 4 Do you have a ride?: I have my own car. Do you have a room?: Haven't booked one yet. Other necessary info: Wanting about 4 others to carpool with and share a room. Willing to meet up with anyone that's roughly along the 97s highway down to the i-5 border crossing. I also like long walks on the beach.
And there was a thread like this last year, I made it =p
It is still a ways away from where we are for the ride (and we can probably manage), so maybe not exactly like old times, but we'll definitely consider the room.
Oh, and Trill and I are real-life friends, in case you were wondering.
Andwarf on
Most inanimate objects find me at least mildly agreeable!
Where are you at?: Penticton, B.C.
How many days are you going for?: Depends on who's driving.
Do you have a ride?: Nope. Trying to get one with leaf.
Do you have a room?: Not yet.
Other necessary info: I'm a convicted serial killer. I have two other guys that want to come.
If it's the same as the room I stayed in last year, eight people will fit comfortably. And one more could probably sleep on the balcony, too (which would just be fun to do).

Where are you at?: Burnaby, B.C. (yeah, it's another Vancouver, basically)
How many days are you going for?: 2 or 3.
Do you have a ride?: Nope. I'll either rent or try and bum a ride when I work out which days I'm going
Do you have a room?: Not yet.
Other necessary info: Wife's tagging along. She's a Penny Arcade fan, RPG player (consoles and Pen and Paper) and is desperately waiting for developers to make games she like in other genres.

Yeah it was weird how no one else wanted to share the bed with me :?
Where are you at?: Victoria, BC How many days are you going for?: The whole thing. Do you have a ride?: Well I was going to carpool it with my friend, but it turns out the Canadian Nationals for Magic the Gathering is the same weekend and he wants to go to that more so I'm stuck on my own again. For the cost and time of driving down there just for myself I might as well just take the clipper. Do you have a room?: Staying with my friend in Redmond Other necessary info: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
Soooo yeah I've decided I'm bringing my computer with me, so The Clipper is now out of the question since that would exceed the baggage limitations. At this point I have an empty car, so if anyone wants to carpool it and save some money feel free to PM me.

Well, it's necessary to book one at the Doubletree way in advance for the special cheap rate, yes...
But you could maybe find another hotel nearby with vacancies. Probably.
