[PRIME] West Coast Train Trip 2009
Posts
Statement: Just a simple droid, here, ma'am. Nothing to see. Move along.
Don't cry too much...
I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
So if memes make great shirts,
And Pod Six is Jerks,
Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.
I guess we can't take showers, so that'll suck towards the end of the trip.
Each train car is 2 levels with passengers generally on the top level. The bottom level usually has a cargo space area for larger luggage. You shouldn't have a problem just storing it there.
Lemon Jelly - "Slow Train"
I don't know about Red Dwarf, but I could always DM a D&D 4th edition game. In fact, I could even bring the "d&d day" adventures that were meant for beginners and won't last more than 7 hours. Yay!
Also, per your name: YanYan is delicious. Fuck Pocky.

Is it safe to assume you know someone who's able to film the train as it pulls away from the platform? Because if so :^:

Unfortunately it seems i wont be able to partake in the WCTT or PAX this year. I lost my job last month and I'm still jobless at this time. While the unemployment check is helping me barely keep my head above water the money i saved for PAX will be depleted before the event. Even if i got a job now I'm not certain i could get enough money saved in time. Additionally its going to be a stretch to get time off if I'm at a new employer.
It really sux because i was looking forward to seeing you all again this year and just having a grand old time. I mean when else do i get a chance to get the hell out of Phoenix to hang out and drink with a bunch of fellow gamers in one of the best cities on the planet?
So pretty much unless someone can smuggle me in their carry on and let me sleep on the floor of their hotel room (thankfully i bought my PAX pass before I lost my job so i wont need to bum money for that) I wont be able to make it. If anything magically changes, of course I'll keep ya all posted.
Thanks man. I hope so too.

If I get my own room (witch it is looking like I probably will) I know I wouldn't mind you crashing there. as for train ticket I dont think that I can help out much.
It is kind of a slow train. Where's the bullet trains California voted to fund when they took away gay marriage? :P
It takes a while. Honestly that 10 billion will probably get a train from LAX to Disneyland and that's it.
Like, actual bot-spam, posted by a keyword-searching bot, and horrifically mistargeted.
Edit: not horrifically mistargeted, just disguised so the unwitting admin wouldn't detect their SEO bullshit for a while.
Get the PAX 2008 Countdown widget and while away your sad, pathetic life watching it tick down the hours to PAX '08!

Also, I'm pretty sure doors don't open until 1 on friday, but I can't find anything to back that up on a quick search. 10am is probably a good time to get in line though :P.
I know there was already a decent amount of people in line at around 9AM last year to get in at noon. I can't imagine how early people will line up with the opening at 10. Depending on how eager you are to get in first, you might be in for a very short night sleep Thursday. But hey, that's just training for Friday and Saturday nights, right? :P
