Just got back and found a package waiting for me! Thanks a bunch hazz, i'll update this with some pictures later. Atm i'm too busy play Battlefield Bad Company.
Phew. 'scuse the slowness. Remember, there's the proper package coming when I get paid. This is just to tide you over.
Whohoo, the LewieP's are going to PAX! Both of us!
Hm, I've never been, but always been tempted. This may push me over the edge -- it'd be neat to meet you guys. I'll make an effort, assuming my job situation is stable by then.

I wish I could go, but North Carolina to Seattle does not make a fun trip.
We're flying to Chicago from Manchester, then on to Seattle, same return journey. I nearly booked us to fly from Manchester to Amsterdam, then to Seattle, but couldn't stand the stress of holding LewieP back from the brown cafes. I've booked through lastminute - they were £40 each cheaper than anyone else for the same BMI flights.

All told, it will be about £1300 for us, plus whatever we spend when we get there, but hey, it looks like great fun, and I've always wanted to go to Seattle, and I've told my boss I'll go and visit the Incredible Years people as well - they're based in Seattle- and bring some stuff back for work.
Not quite sure about the amounts of alcohol I can handle though, I'm pretty lightweight when it comes to drinking. Chocolate, though, a totally different matter.

Jesus! And here I thought it was going to be expensive for me. :P
Yup €799 with a stop off in London Heathrow both ways. I'm hopefully going to convince a friend to come along because I'm going to be hopefully working a fulltime position by then and it won't be such a big chunk of change!

Ireland
Yeah, but the benefit is... You live in Ireland. (Sorry, I love Irish girls oh so much..)

Spending any time in O'Hare, or just a direct-connect? I guess you'll go through customs here in Chitown?
If you haven't heard, we (US, not just Chicago) apparently hate/fear laptops, so you may have to open yours up. We also don't know what an Macbook Air is, despite the non-stop commericals.
Just a layover - we're in the airport for an hour and a half before we fly to Seattle, hope its a better airport than Newark. Don't think I'll be bringing my laptop - its old and heavy, and the speed I'm managing to play games, I don't think anyone would want to play with me, unless there's an area for slow noobs!

slacktron - Something else is coming your way.
It's not that rare, but some may be willing to duel for it You will not be getting a tube "One, two, it's coming for you...three, four, better check the door..."

Golly, this sounds like a riddle.
When faced with a riddle, I always think of this:
"Here, then, is the riddle. Don't strain your head; no one's ever gotten it
right." You hear a growling snarl from somewhere nearby.
"Some say I'm pointless,
yet many are obsessed by me.
I have caused heroic gambles
and sown endless frustration.
Uncounted deaths have I caused.
What am I?"
Trent steps briskly forward. "That's easy!" he yells. "A grapefruit!"
So... is it a grapefruit?

Well! MichaelLC's last Easter Egg arrived and I must say he saved the best for last. I'm astounded! It's a better holiday gift than I would buy for myself.
That is to say, it was neither grapefruit nor grue. I don't get what the tube reference was in the riddle, but the tesla devices, three, and something worth dueling over make perfect sense.
I'm leaving town right now and can't give this the proper photo treatment, but I'll be back Wednesday and will post at that time.
Any other readers care to take a guess as to what it is?
I've never had Girl Scout cookies, only heard about them from the Friends episode when Ross sells them cos he's broken a child's arm. Mmmmmmmmmm mint thins look good!

Score, man! Girl Scout Cookies are like $27 a box these days. I remember when they cost but a dollar.
Where the hell are you buying them? They only cost me 3 bucks a box.
3? I think I paid 10 per damn girl scouts running a racket!
Does it really matter how much they are? They're so delicious, and it's for a good cause. As long as I keep telling myself that, I can eat thin mints all day...

Wow, that's so awesome. I live in US and I don't think I'll ever make it out there.

I wish I could go, but North Carolina to Seattle does not make a fun trip.
To Do List:
- finish PAX reservation information
- buy nice things for P family to bribe for nice things next year too
Check!
Pity Ireland sucks for flying into America and also none of my friends would have any interest in this
Congratulations!
I'll be there, and LewieP was my Secret Santa last year. I'd like to thank him in person.
I'll say :winky:

I pretty sure it's all wrapped up. Slacktron got their last box, so we're all fully Eastered.
(or not)
Good work and thank you everyone for your generosity go Xmas wooo!
*sniff* I'll miss you, Santaeasterthread. 2007-2008. Never forget.
