Who knows? With luck, Wil is going to see this and
give us some answers. Worst case scenario, I can likely house a few for
a night or two, provided you don't mind an hour and a half drive.

DIM we should probably leave like right after I
get out of class at 4:30. I think splitting a Holiday Inn or something
will suffice for us.

I would highly recommend that. The Turnpike on a Friday can make a strong man weep.

Comments, Wil?

I actually just sent a facebook message:
Children of the Revolution,
Just
a reminder, guys, Zelda Nerdgasm 08 is THIS WEEKEND. Ideally, you can
swing by any time of the day or night, except that we'll be making a
trip to the Jolly Tinker [relatively divey Irish bar that is patronized
entirely by eighteen-year-olds and a surprising cross-section of my
immediate group of friends] at some point (whoever spread the rumor
that this is not the case was spreading seditious lies).
This
will officially be at my place ([even I'm not dumb enough to post my
mailing address on the internet, IM me if you didn't get the facebook
invite]) starting Friday evening (probably depending on when Chris
[whom you guys don't know, but who is coming up from DC] shows up,
unless that will be unimaginably late into the process) but feel free
to come by anytime after 7:00 for, at the very least, pre-game
activities, which include... uh, I'll get chips or something.
Also,
my buzzer's broken, so make sure you have my phone number (for which
you can message me, although I believe it's on my profile page) so I
can let you in when you arrive.
And if you're on the fence,
come anyway! I can't promise that it'll be the best decision you've
ever made in your life, but I can pretty firmly say it'll be top
twenty, *maybe* top ten.
-W
So if you guys are
showing up, note two major things. (1) We're certainly going to a bar
at some point (probably Saturday night) (realistic/actual state-issued
ID preferred) so if that's an immediate turn-off, you're better off
coming Friday. (2) I haven't got a *ton* of sleeping space, if you're
driving a long distance. I've already pretty well given up the idea
that we're going to stay up for the whole 48 hours, and certainly no
one should stay up for days at a time then drive to Pennsylvania, so
I'd recommend a sleeping pallette of some kind. (Again, this is only if
you're planning on staying for a relatively long haul and/or are coming
from far away).
If you need directions, let me know (although
I strongly recommend public transit if possible, as parking is quite a
task). Also, bear in mind that there's going to be a lot of downtime
for everybody, so if you have any nerdy pasttimes to share, bring them
up now (I know SOMEONE must own Settlers of Cattan, which I have been
using as a punchline for some years now). If I think of anything else,
I'll let you guys know.
Also, anyone other than you four (DIM, AMan, Mithril and James) planning on coming by?

I'll actually be in New York (City) this weekend,
but probably won't have any free time. Wish I could, though. If my
immediate family abandons me, I'm down.

Ocarinakid
I'm thinking about being there. It'd be a long road trip from Detroit, but who knows? Could be cool.
You going to have room? I'm definitely not coming if I have to pay for a hotel, too. I ain't rich.
---
It was time for a new signature, and HeyDude had no good ideas.
I might be able to borrow either the Order of the Stick board game or the Talisman board game, which would be fun.
I don't think anyone in my circle of friends owns Settlers of Catan, though.

I had planned on stopping in Sunday, noonish. The grand pooh-bah of
Marvin will be in town on Saturday and I'll be forced to go schmooze.
Are you guys still going to be at it at that point?
---

As of now it looks like we're going to get there
Sunday morning and just stay the whole day...we're too cheap to pay for
a hotel.
---
You know, PETA would and wouldn't be strongly opposed to the Schrödinger's cat experiment.
It's things like this that make me reconsider my stance on separating
my real life and the internet. Then I start thinking about how such a
meeting would affect both my actions online and my actual self. And
from there, it's only a matter of time before it degrades to a Seinfeld
ripoff involving you guys almost killing Independant Digitalpython.
I'm still not entirely sure that's a bad thing. The Seinfeld part, not the death part.

My
friend said he found God in the Bible. Well, mine only mentioned him. I
guess it's a contest thing: One in 10,000 Bibles has God in it.

I mean, again, you can *theoretically* crash at my
place, I jus don't know how restful it will be. But yes, we should
still be at it well into Sunday afternoon.

I had no doubt that I could crash at your place, especially if I had
gone to the pub with you. Pub=Coma in most instances. See you Sunday at
12. Hopefully I'll get to call up during your hangover.

I going to try and make it. I'll probably only be able to stay for an hour or two, though.
This
is either going to great or awkward. Wil's voice threw me a little
today. It's definitely different talking in real life to anyone from
here.

miss going down to West Virginia, parking and just walking off into the
woods for a week with everything I needed in my backpack.

Update:
We've just finished OoT after a
grueling 22 hours. Things were not helped when we all got really,
really drunk and passed out between the hours of 5:00 and 7:00. Also,
the gamecube controls are really weird so for some reason we were all
hopeless with bosses. And some funny stuff happened. Our character for
OoT (and thus for MM) is named "Jesus," so that's been pretty funny. I
can honestly say Ganon's ending line ("Curse you Zelda... curse you
sages... curse you JESUS!") was worth every moment of soul-wearying
Zelda playing.
We're now starting up MM and hoping to make up for lost time. Also, ordering Chinese food.

Update:
I stopped in for 2 and a half
hours today and came to realize the mind behind Majora's Mask was a
crackhead. I had never had the opportunity to see that game, and I was
honestly less confused when I first arrived than when I left. I also
completely forgot that my camera was in my pocket until the end. I have
one fuzzy pic of Wil and a shot of the toaster that DIM wasn't there to
receive and that was it. All in all, it was a fun time and I'd do it
again if this becomes annual.

I'd
probably make a point of coming earlier in the weekend, though. Will's
bedroom seemed almost like a clown car. Every twenty minutes or so,
another person would come out and rub the sleep from his eyes.
PS- Did you guys finally get into Wind Waker?
---

Yeah, I didn't show up because Wil told me that DIM and AMan weren't
going to, and it made me reconsider how much money it was going to cost
me to get there and back. (If I had already been in Queens, I would
have went regardless. But these days $25 is a lot of money.)

So final update:
We finished MM at about
6:00 (46 hours) which was pretty bad. We spent easily an hour finding
the boss's chamber in the last temple. It was crap and I hate MM now.
Nick (whom I believe was passed out the entire time you were there,
Mith) made, eventually (he awoke in the middle of the long-awaited
Ikana boss fight) a stunning performance on the moon, but yeah. It's
funny; we actually worked out a totally organic system of nap-taking,
which was pretty cool) a series of amazing plays against many foes. I
mean, it took two sleepless nights, but we got the whole thing down to
a more-or-less science.
It sucked. A lot. But as of this afternoon we had worked it out. Then we all went home and damn do I want to sleep.
Also,
whoever wants this toaster, now's the time, before my roommate insists
upon keeping it or some other situation arises (in which I send it to
DIM for the sake of HUMANITY).
Okay, I go to bed. Further
explication about how we managed to beat all four (y'know, through
trickery) will be available. Special thanks to everyone who made it out
here (ie Mith, who showed up despite, y'know, perhaps the most
significant financial transaction in a given individual's existence).

"And then we die."
~~This is what I like to add to the end of almost every sentence.~~
Further explication about how we managed to beat all four
I'll bet it involved going back and bribing the one re-dead that we missed.
As
for the toaster, give it to the girl (forgive me, I'm horrible with
names) who wanted the explanation for the me having brought it in the
first place. Thankfully she bailed us out as we stared stupidly trying
to come up with a logical answer with "It's an internet thing isn't it".

It
was in a tent. The trip itself was cut short sadly, but still a ton of
fun. Nothing like crawling into a ball in a sleeping bag trying to stay
warm in single-digit degree weather!

Basically, we started up Wind Waker and Hastings (the vaguely
emo-looking guy) got killed by the first boss. It asked him to save, at
which he scoffed, this being a speed-run, selecting "no." Then it asked
if he wanted to continue playing and he said "you stupid game, I just
told you, no!" Rather than do the tutorial bit again, they just loaded
up a file right before the last boss fight, beat that and then repeated
with TP. All in all a good strategy.
