I went on Frappr.com and kicked up a map. I figure, I'm not the only one making the cross-country journey, so it'd be neat to see how far everyone else is willing to go.
Also, I enabled custom-pins to distinguish how you're getting here. Mostly for the benefit of the WCST and CCST adventurers. (Although you'd have to remove and re-add yourself to change your balloon if you want to be colorful and pretty.)
driving that far with a multitude of pax goers is much more fun than being on a stuffy plane
True. But it's also much more expensive.
Having thugs break down my door and take my car because I owe someone money isn't very fun at all.
who do you owe money that's going to chop your car?
I owe a $15,000 gambling debt to a Russian with mob connections because I vouched for a sleazy friend of mine who took off after we got the shit beat out of us by cops who took all our money.
Wait, no... That was Rounders.
(But that sounds a lot better than "Eh, you know.. bills.")

I'm having a little trouble removing myself, and thusly cannot add myself with a nice supertrip dealy.
And if the music stops... there's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory, all the sacrifice in vain
And if love remains, though everything is lost,
We will pay the price, but we will not count the cost.
hehehehe, i'm the third closest to the convention. only a 5 minute drive. woot woot. seeing that i am Lazyboy it seems fitting that my pilgrimage is only a few miles. lol.

I'm watching you like Celery, yeah i'm stalking...lol.
Edit'd! Had to throw a picture on mine too, taken during the WCST 2004... Currently I have plans to do the supertrip again this year, then again, I planned too last year and that didnt work out and ended up getting a plane ticket for my birthday...

Do you really think I'm driving that far?
You should. That'd show everyone.
It would show everyone the definition of "a stupid idea", at least.
it's the PAX 06 Cross-country Supertrip thread. We're looking into sponsorship and the website http://www.ccsupertrip.org should be up sometime tomorrow. The more the merrier, so let's do this thing
(i got nothin')

i'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there

In the members list, look for your name and click the "Remove Me" link next to it. Then refresh the page; you'll be able to add yourself again.
Edit:: The funny thing is, you were the last person to mark yourself before I enabled the custom tags.

But I'll make the map pretty by putting another blue on up there anyway.
