ZIv Convention

The convention will still be there. I specifically asked if there will be more people than just the three of us and he said yes. The convention is there. The Z-I-v members simply get preferential treatment.

---

In that case, I might drive there. I tend to buy a lot at conventions, and getting that stuff through airport security is a bitch.

---

Dan and I are under the impression that you'll decide to go at the very last minute.

You'll be sleeping on the floor if that's the case :V

---

Leave me a blanket and don't set the thermostat to below freezing temperatures and I don't care where I sleep.

---

Yea there will be people there but the owner just changed the name from convention to event cause he's a moron. Yea, the vendors won't be at the hotel, they are going to setup somewhere at a park where they hold events, the owner is getting us some free tickets to the beach water park on the island, then there's the beach which is huge and overrun with people by now. The owner will pretty much pay for anything we want to do at the Island as well.

Lord Toon made the following for you guys. I'll be taking them with me.

---

I tried to find an ecstatic nosebleed smiley to express how awesome that is, but I couldn't find one that did it justice.

Holy crap...

Thanks, Toon. ^^

---

Oh, well now I have to go.

But yeah, if I go, I'll probably leave Thursday morning. After the ten-hour drive during my move, the nine-hour drive to A-Kon, and the nine-hour drive back, I need a couple days to recover. If I decide to make the trip, I'll try to leave a message here saying I'm on my way.


You don't need a smiley. Any of these would do just fine.







...But if you insist on using a smiley, this one seems to fit the occasion.

---

LMFAO! I like these the most, they're great.


Don't stress yourself out so much. We all know how draining it is to do so much driving and re-settling. There's going to be even more driving involved here too since the events are scattered and not in the same area as the hotel because of this dumbass owner so it may be a bit much.

---

Suggested route: 776 miles. 13 hours, 3 minutes.

What a fun trip this will be.


APPEND: Hey Dan, something I noticed on the first page. On the first post, you say it's going to be held at the Howard Johnson, then near the bottom of the page, you say it's going to be at the Hilton. Which one is it for sure?

And you still haven't PM'ed me your phone number.

---

I'll PM you his phone number.

Edit: PM has been sent.

Just noticed I didn't put the user names.

Edit: Howie, are you taking your recording camera with you? I'm taking my photo camera and probably won't have space for my own recording camera in my luggage.

---

I dunno, probably. I usually bring my camera on trips.

Back to my question.


I kinda need to know. There's about a two-hour difference between the two.

---

You have his number now.

Text/call him ;)

---

Fuck that. My phone's at the other end of the room, but my computer's right here.


APPEND: Was hoping to leave earlier, but I'm on my way now.

Dan, try not to get pissed if I end up texting you around midnight trying to figure out where you guys are.

---

that means I won't be the last one to arrive. yay!

that also means that we'll be at the hotel, eliminating any problems that would occur by you arriving first.

Edit: oh my god how wonderful

Have tons of pictures!

Pretty much the worst store in the world.

---

Worst store I've been to. No drum accessories.

Edit: Someone needs to upload the Waldenbooks picture
