    I had some guy offer to buy me a drink at Las Margaritas. I'm not sure who he was, or where I met him, and he seemed to have alterior motives.

    I guess I should be glad that I didn't bump into you on day one while wearing my "I Scored With Samus" shirt. THAT..would have been awkward. :)
    Oh... Oh gosh. :shock:

    I'm very afraid now. If I ever see you I'm gonna drop a power bomb and run a way.

    It's ok. I can guarantee he's harmless. Plus he's got a gosh-darn cute southern accent.

    The moral of this thread:

    Most stories about PAX are creepy and we should keep them to ourselves.

    Quoted for truth. I also got accosted by crack-heads/lunatics three times on the streets around the Meydenbauer. Although the guy who quoted scripture to me and my friends was creeptastic, I'm giving top honours to the guy who followed me for three very empty, quiet blocks, randomly screaming at the sky, power lines, and street signs.

    And yes, I'm a moron to walk back to the hotel by myself from the mall after dark.

    Yeah, I was the guy who had the cane, but sadly it didn't do the trick! I was sad, but gladly Cloud was there with his mighty Buster Sword.

    On saturday night, Me and one of my buddies just got insanly drunk on wine (its a good buzz :P ) after the Mario kart DD tourny, Came in about 10th. Anyways, got drunk and just wondered around for hours around the city...its like a ghost town down there at night. We some how met this girls on the street and they showed us a bar not before we went swimming in a fountain. Kinda gross.

    One thing i missed doing but really wanted to was hit up guitar hero never played it.

    Annoying PAX moment: Come back from the Saturday night concert, find Spook and a bunch of other CCSTers in the Hilton business center with a couple laptops and a projector set up for some gaming.. hang out there for a few hours. Head back to my room, only to find it absolutely PACKED with... I still don't know who. Had to sleep in my car, which was significantly colder than I was hoping for.

    Fun times from that same night: Watching everyone get frustrated with Spook's game (Civil Disturbance) cause they were trying to solo a mission designed for 4-8 people. Though I still think the AI is a little TOO smart in that game.

    I especially got a kick out of watching Frontalot do it. After that I would guess he's not normally a big fan of FPS games.

    Privateer press? I thought it was Technomancer.

    Either way, I was the skinnier one of the two guys helping you get that shirt. :D

"Are you legal?" I say "Yes, I'm legal." He says "You wanna go for a drink?" And I say, "I don't drink." And that seemed to completely confuse him cuz he just stopped.

    I was there, too!

    I wasn't hitting on you, though.
    I hope you thought I was a gentleman.

    To be fair, I wasn't hitting on her...

    I was just suprised an asian girl was there is all.

    I invited everyone for drinks.
    Ah, I normally assume someone's hitting on me when they ask me if I'm legal. S'okay, Tom, I was (and still am) too tired to be offended :P

    I remember Superjoe. And I remember Doc! I looked over his shoulder and caught a glimpse into the ethereal world of the mod forums. It was like peering into another dimension. I couldn't comprehend what I saw.

    You looked over doc's shoulder? I didn't think it was possible. Actually, I was in there too watching the secret mod forums as everybody asked if they were on the forumers to watch list. Did anybody from that room actually make it down the hall to Sealab for drinky goodness. That party was out of hand and kept moving between 221 and 227 to confuse the security guy who kept trying to shut us down (no he did not succeed... ever!)

    hehe definitely the best part was the journey to the next hotel where the cops showed up!

    Oh, crap. Is that what I'd walked in on? I'm rather apologetic for launching straight into penises, then.


    Sidenote: I'm not entirely sure what would be more detrimental: Having that quoted out of context, or in its current context.
