Post DragonCon Ala- ORDER OF THE SCORPION (updated 10/4)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

UPDATE

A possible new location for the rave is in the works due to Charley and I finding a house that we like. This means more room for more people!

See this thread (http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19812)



Everyone is invited!!!!

From:
More than likely we'll get things started on the eve of the 7th, whenever the caravan makes it to the house and folks are unpacked and settled.
Till:
The 10th. Pretty much though, when everyone has to be taken to the airport to catch their planes. If those that are driving wish to stay longer, they are most welcome, as I've taken that entire following week off from work.


Confirmed:
Jenny
Dani
Morg
Liz
Raz
Holly
Mandi
Brian
Emelie
Yog


If you're coming and not on the confirmed list, let me know!




I'm looking to get some strobe lights, some blacklights, and whatever else other people might recommend. There will be a bonfire, possibly and most likely a mini-tent-city if you guys are keen on sleeping outside, and of course Nerf weapons.

My backyard:

Back porch will be transmogriphied into a DJ station for ipods, as well as something else. Not sure what yet, but rest assured that the box-spring and random chair in not gonna be there.


Let's get this thing started!




edit - a door! I didn't even know that was out there!!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Other necessary ingredients: thumping basslines, UV paint, psychadelia...

oom-tah oom-tah oom-tah oom-tah oom-tah :dance








dude don't move that door it's the door to another world

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The door stays then :D

OH, and did I mention WILD BLACKBERRIES FREAKING EVERYWHERE???! Charley and I picked a gobload of them today, and will be infusing some delicious vodka with nummy wild blackberries!

[Wyl Staedtler]

I can't make the con but maybe I will make a SURPRISE GUEST CAMEO at this here party.


With some special w'melon. :mischief

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Dudette, you better not be yankin' my chain!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oh don't tease me, Liz... not with the weedmelon.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

S'ILANCY WANTS LIZ :colbert

[Dasquian Belargic]

Sorry you can't have her I want her and her delicious nuts.

[Rraarrl Kaah]

I have never seen your back porch, and I've been to your house how many times? >_>;

[Wyl Staedtler]

I got enough nuts to go 'round. :smokin

Seriously considering this. Raves are my Achilles heel. Especially ones of the s'Il-and-Sanis'-backyard persuasion.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

That's so not fair. You need to learn how to share :mad

edit - yay I'm like, three posts too late!

[Mu Satach]

OH, and did I mention WILD BLACKBERRIES FREAKING EVERYWHERE???! Charley and I picked a gobload of them today, and will be infusing some delicious vodka with nummy wild blackberries!

Oh dear - blackberries you say???

[Dasquian Belargic]

Seriously considering this. Raves are my Achilles heel. Especially ones of the s'Il-and-Sanis'-backyard persuasion.

I really think there are few more appropriate times to use this emoticon: :eee

Get on it!

raaaaaaaaaaaaaave

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Come to the rave-side, Mu. You know it is your destiny.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Come with me to the dance floor,
You and me cause that's what it's for
Show me now what is it
You got to be doing
And the music in the house... is so soothing

:dance

[Wyl Staedtler]

Important Question: will there be body shots?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Do bears rave in the woods?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

My dear, body shots are a prerequisite!
















WILD BLACKBERRY VODKA BODYSHOTS OMG

[Wyl Staedtler]

*marks off checklist*

Right. Well, your case has convinced me. Clearly this just has to happen.

[Dasquian Belargic]

This is some fine Bacchanalia in the making, right here.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It really does. I mean, it really can't get any better than a bonfire, alcohol, loud music, and a bunch of crazy folks with tents, nerf guns, a a lot of inebriation.

[Hobgoblin]

I will strap glowsticks to myself at night and dance a crazy dance if Liz arrives at this.

[Rraarrl Kaah]

It really does. I mean, it really can't get any better than a bonfire, alcohol, loud music, and a bunch of crazy folks with tents, nerf guns, a a lot of inebriation.

We need to steal a goat.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

We need to steal a goat.



I can truthfully say that it's possible, but I think you already knew that :p

[Hobgoblin]

This just turned into a bad Adam Sandler movie. :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

We can steal a goat after we steal a Liz. Important things first, people!

I want my dancing Brian and my weedmelon and my Liz nuts and my wild berry vodka.

[Rraarrl Kaah]

Liz can ride the goat and be queen of the rave!

[Cam Montegue]

We need to steal a goat.

And then milk it and make cheeeeeeese.

Or or or steal a flock and make tiny saddles for them. GOAT POLO.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Cheese?

...weedcheese?

[Hobgoblin]

If only I were shorter I would dress up as Hob to ride the goat. It would be my war mount and I would charge into battle against the forces of the Dark Side on it.

[Wyl Staedtler]

...weedcheese?

Pssssh obvs. Do you not know me by now?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

If we steal a goat, it would only be one. The goat herd belongs to a friend of mine from work who lives about 30 seconds down the road, so our grand-theft-goat antics would have to be sadly limited.

[Wyl Staedtler]

Well then we're goin' goat tippin' instead. :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

It's okay.. all the creatures of the forest will rally towards the sound of our phat beats. Then just one goat will be enough, cause deers and squirrels will come too. With glowsticks strapped to their antlers and clutched in their tiny paws.

[Hobgoblin]

Don't tip over my potential war mounts! What will I ride to fight evil?

Edit: oh oh glowstick deer attacckkking you with glowy antlers to the FACE take that evil

[Rraarrl Kaah]

Is the scariest angel still up? If it is, we should steal that and scare people with it!

[Wyl Staedtler]

It's okay.. all the creatures of the forest will rally towards the sound of our phat beats. Then just one goat will be enough, cause deers and squirrels will come too. With glowsticks strapped to their antlers and clutched in their tiny paws.

WIN TO THE MFWIN.


Brian you can ride Aslan. He's gonna show up through the magical back door!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Is the scariest angel still up? If it is, we should steal that and scare people with it!

Bwahahahaaa! Holy HELL thank you no it is not.

If it was though, YES. WE WOULD STEAL THAT THING FASTER THAN YOU CAN SAY STEAL.

[Dasquian Belargic]

ASLAN FUCK YEAH if I could rave with just one anthromorphised animal it would be the mutha-'ucking Lord of Narnia, Simba Christ.

[Hobgoblin]

Nonono, the plan is different. I will now ride a deer with glowsticks on his antlers into battle. The lightsaber antlers will destroy all foes.

HOWEVER

Aslan is my home. He can ride sidecar on my motorbike and be all bustin caps in people's asses while the phat beats are playin and all the squirrels of Narnia go what what it's the chronic(what)les of Narnia.

[Wyl Staedtler]

Circle of life, yo!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Chipmunks abound, as well as squirrels, so we've got the Hobster covered. Plus, there's two stables; one across the street and one on the other side of the sidewoods, so if he needs an epic mount that bad, they're there :D

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Not to infuse a bit of sense into this delightful thread, but what night are you planning to do this? If you say "The 7th, right after the con" then I can make it as I'm planning to fly home from Birmingham on the 8th.

If not, well, I can't drink anyway. :cry

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

We do need a photographer you know ;)

And it's from the 7th-ish till whenever people fly out, so it might go on for a few days.

I'll gladly be your (and anyone else's) airport shuttle fairy :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

lol I have a feeling I may have to drive ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

You're gonna drive me home from the airport, right?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

:lol You might have to get a cab, ;) Or ride a reindeer or something. :mneh

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Dammit :(

[Mandy with an I]

Keep a goat in the trunk, ride the goat home. Problem SOLVED!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Mandi saves the day!


Mandi, I award you with the SCARY ANGEL. Please take it home so I don't ever have to look at it again :)

[Karl Valten]

NOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo









I shall not be in attendance. Classes start on the 8th. I'm booking it out of Atlanta Monday evening.

I DEMANDS TO SEE TEH LIZ!!!!!! :verymad

[Mandy with an I]

We're going to post pics of us with Liz and be all "Wish you were here...NOT!" :D

[Wyl Staedtler]

Jeez, I hope I can live up to these expectations. PRESSURE.

[General Dan]

OH, and did I mention WILD BLACKBERRIES FREAKING EVERYWHERE???! Charley and I picked a gobload of them today, and will be infusing some delicious vodka with nummy wild blackberries!

Oh dear - blackberries you say???

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p156/LoungieMu/blackberry3.jpg

Hehhhhh...

[Dasquian Belargic]

Liz.. no pressure. None at all.

Just.. if you don't come, we will send Brian-onna-ravedeer to find/gore you.

You can sit on the back porch next to the door to Narnia, and shout abuse at us for being damn drunken morons.

[Yog]

Heated blackberry combined with vanilla icecream is delicious, just a tip. :)

[General Dan]

Heated blackberry combined with vanilla icecream is delicious, just a tip. :)

I really should make some homemade ice cream with this, now that you mention it.

I was going to make some pecan "pie" creme brulee for a cooking competition this month, and it would be neat to maybe go a la mode with maybe a melon baller scoop of blackberry ice cream. I probably won't do it just because that means buying an ice cream maker and a melon baller, but I'll most certainly get that later this summer for peach season.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Important things first, gentlemen. Blackberries in dessert is all well and good, but blackberries in alcohol is top priority.

[Hobgoblin]

Liz.. no pressure. None at all.

Just.. if you don't come, we will send Brian-onna-ravedeer to find/gore you.

And Rammstein's Reise Reise will play in the background as I do this. I will be accompanied by hordes of squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, and raccoons all wearing tiny viking helmets and echoing fury in a thousand tiny squeaks.

Seriously tho, it is clear we <3 teh Liz, so do your best to come. :)

Now, on to the subject of blackberries in alcohol. I vote we save some for me.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Important things first, gentlemen. Blackberries in dessert is all well and good, but blackberries in alcohol is top priority.

Here here.

Though I am not against this ice-cream idea. It could get.. messy. :mischief

[Charlotte Tur'enne]

Wait wait...

Bonfire, Loud Music, alcohol, AND Blackberries? :ohno

*looks at work schedule* ooohman...is that tempting but I dunno if I could afford to stay away from this hell any longer than just the con. lol

[Razielle Alastor]

I'm there. Liz's w'melons, paint and Narnia. DEAL! =D

I can't do the con, but this I shall not miss...

[Ryan Pode]

Important things first, gentlemen. Blackberries in dessert is all well and good, but blackberries in alcohol is top priority.

99 Berries has a blackberry flavor. It's not bad.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Well, I was gonna go out and whip up an overhead view of the backyard so we can start marking off where things are gonna be, but it's started raining something fierce.


Oh, and Mandi had an awesome idea last night: a silly hat table :) So we will be having one of those probably too.

[Dasquian Belargic]

With a selection of silly hats to be sampled at our pleasure? :ohno

[Miranda Tarkin]

;_; I can't believe I'm going to miss this

[Karl Valten]

We can have our own Midwest Shenanigan Party

[Mandy with an I]

The hat thing is because I will most likely be packing at least two of my hats -- old man "BEAR" fedora and maybe one of my new black ones. I have two other fedora style ones I could bring just for photo ops, lol.

Christin said she was going to get me drunk >_>; *ascared*

[Dasquian Belargic]

Christin gonna get us all drunk :mischief

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm guessing this is post dragon-con. I have vacation days, no reason I shouldn't be able to take the whole following week off and drive back on Saturday/Sunday.

[Miranda Tarkin]

If it weren't for the plane tickets already bought. I would finagle something.

[Captain Untouchable]

I wanna come. >_<

If I pimp myself out, will I be able to earn enough for a plane ticket in time?

[Wyl Staedtler]

If I can come (which is looking pretty likely) I'm totally bringing some Van Der Hum. :D

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

The kitchen adventures you and Charley will no doubt have will be epic :)

Good lord, the food during this whole thing I can already see being out of this world.

[Mu Satach]

OH, and did I mention WILD BLACKBERRIES FREAKING EVERYWHERE???! Charley and I picked a gobload of them today, and will be infusing some delicious vodka with nummy wild blackberries!

Oh dear - blackberries you say???

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p156/LoungieMu/blackberry3.jpg

Hehhhhh...

ooooohhhhhh...........

myyyyyyyy

*drooooools*

[Morgan Evanar]

If it weren't for the plane tickets already bought. I would finagle something.You can sometimes change flights for $50 or less. :angel

[Dasquian Belargic]

What is a Van Der Hum? o_O



If it weren't for the plane tickets already bought. I would finagle something.You can sometimes change flights for $50 or less. :angel

:ohno please please try this.

[Wyl Staedtler]

VdH is drinkable sex.

[Morgan Evanar]

Listen: we need some dates n details on the OP. Please amend!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm on it.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Listen: we need some dates n details on the OP. Please amend!

I forget, when are we booked in our hotel until?

[Miranda Tarkin]

I got a message from Charley about this shindig starting Monday, Labor day? If that is the case, I can at least be around for ONE day and night! Tho I will need someone to drive my ass back to the airport really early tho >_>

HOWEVER!

I am trying to get more time off of work :D I have until the 9th off so I can try and get a different flight home.... or maybe even more time off! Depends if United is a bitch ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I hope you can come :ohno

This party is gonna have the best guestlist ever.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Well I can come ... for one night and I can leave on a later flight on Tuesday at the very least.

Now if I could get MORE days off ... that would be :cool:

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm doin' a little dance here!

[Karl Valten]

Everyone should call up the University of Minnesota and tell them that they should bump the start of classes back a week.

:(

I wants to go

[Daria Nytherciria]

Skip a day or two of class! I bet you've earned it ;)

[Rraarrl Kaah]

We booked our hotel til Monday, and I know I'm flying out Thursday night (at like, 8-pm-ish, because I want to stay on vacation for as long as possible).

[Karl Valten]

Skip a day or two of class! I bet you've earned it ;)

Wish I could, but I need to be there for the first week of school. I already has several obligatory events I need to attend besides classes.

[Mandy with an I]

we can call your school and say we kidnapped you or something. We'll get Jenny to do the talking cos British accents = classy :cool

[Karl Valten]

Hell yes. Jenny, its up to you to break me out of school you crazy Brit, you. :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

we can call your school and say we kidnapped you or something. We'll get Jenny to do the talking cos British accents = classy :cool

I don't know... Liz said I sound like a punk. Droo could pass himself off as a bit of a mobster I think, he's the man for the job :mneh

[Eluna Thals]

Karl just tell them you're coming down south to learn how the game of football is played. They're desperate enough that they'll pay for all of your expenses.

[Karl Valten]

Ouch. I do say ouch. I bet they'd believe that too.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Welp, the blackberry infusions have begun! From now until September, they will sit in the back of the fridge. Waiting. Waiting for ALL OF US.

[Dasquian Belargic]

OH GOD :ohno

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'll hold them off as best as I can, but I believe a concerted effort on all of our parts will go far in vanquishing this foe. As long as we work together, we just might have a shot.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Very goo-


I'll hold them off as best as I can, but I believe a concerted effort on all of our parts will go far in vanquishing this foe. As long as we work together, we just might have a shot.

As long as we work together, we just might have a shot.

work together, we just might have a shot.

just might have a shot.

a shot.

a shot.

a (body)shot.

:ohno

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Everyone has to make sacrifices sometime, soldier!

[Eluna Thals]

Ouch. I do say ouch. I bet they'd believe that too.

Admit it, you're posting for Tim Brewster's job. That's why you have to be back early ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

We should think about food!


Corn on the cob
Ribs
Alligator
Kabobs
Hamburgers and Hotdogs
Grilled veggies
Fish
Crawfish



If anyone has any preferences for food, allergies, etc, speak up!

[Eluna Thals]

I should also preface that with the fact that I cook a shitload of Italian and Indian food as a rule, and can crank that stuff out blindfolded.

We will also most certainly have Bunny Chow, Bobotie, and Funeral Rice on hand, because they're great for parties.

[Dasquian Belargic]

No allergies here! Since I can't cook, I will just bring some boozes.

[Eluna Thals]

Please to be bringing me two bottles each of:

Kina Lillet Blanc
Campari

Also, anything regional that you think I'd love. I will compensate you with money and/or food.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Already got those two on my shopping list ;) I might bring along some local ales or ciders, see what I can find!

[Eluna Thals]

Yeah, it's weird. Those liqueurs are offered in good restaurants here, but for the life of me, I can never find a store that sells them.

[Droo]

I thought they stopped making Kina Lillet.

Edit: Never mind, that was just the regular version, the blanc or blonde one is still out there.

[Dasquian Belargic]

http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=1810

You can buy it online apparently?

[Eluna Thals]

Not here, we can't :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oh, I was just pointing out to Droo that it was still available :) I'm going to have to hunt for it next time we go shopping, since I had forgotten the name of it last time ^_^;

[Eluna Thals]

That's cool. I certainly appreciate it. In exchange I'll send you home with a bottle of Conecuh Ridge, the "official state liquor" of the Yellowhammer State.

[Eluna Thals]

Also, for laughs, Conecuh Ridge Whisky on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conecuh_Ridge_Whiskey)

[Droo]

Oh, I was just pointing out to Droo that it was still available :)

I'm not sure if you caught my edit but traditional Kina Lillet is actually no longer in production, it's just the blanc/blonde version of it that we can still buy, for which you provided the link. Consequently, our Vespers will never ever be quite... authentic. :(

[Wyl Staedtler]

I volunteer to be sous chef and/or make some boer munchies. I can't eat dairy (boo) but don't even worry about it because there's always something around to nosh on.

Also question for our most gracious hosts: Can I send a package of Hawaiian goodies in advance? And also I know you can't buy alcohol online but are you allowed to have it shipped to you? I'm going on a trip prior to this and I can't lug around perishables for the duration of it. :(

[Eluna Thals]

I don't think shipping alcohol to us is legal unfortunately :(

[Wyl Staedtler]

Drat. Hrrrmmmm. Well maybe what I'll do is ship it to someone who's driving to your place and they can bring it.

[Eluna Thals]

Haha yes I love this.

Booze Mules

[Morgan Evanar]

I don't think shipping alcohol to us is legal unfortunately :(Say what?

I'm fairly certain you are wrong, but I'll ask the expert when he gets home from Atlanta.

[Eluna Thals]

I would be delighted to be proven wrong :)

[Morgan Evanar]

Oh as for food allergies pig product and I: bad combination. I will have gastrointestinal distress for hours if I eat more than a small bite.

[Eluna Thals]

That won't be a problem. We usually don't cook much pork here. If we do, I'll make sure to have other choices.

[Mandy with an I]

You already know that I am the most picky eater in the entire history of the world so :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I want to blow my mind and try all new things :eee

[Mandy with an I]

I hope we do get alligator, because it was awesome. Quail was good too :yum So greasy.


AND!!!! We need to have nachoes! XD

[Eluna Thals]

I'm having alligator tonight actually. Publix stocks it regularly :)

Blackened alligator on top of fried green tomato gallettes, with remoulade and arugula.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

:lol All-day nachoes will be ever present.

[Xavier Synik]

I don't think shipping alcohol to us is legal unfortunately :(Say what?

I'm fairly certain you are wrong, but I'll ask the expert when he gets home from Atlanta.

laws are probably different in the states then here in Canada, but up here shipping alcohol is completely legal, the problem is finding a company that handles it.

After much frustration I have discovered that UPS is the only courier company that will transport alcohol.

[Miranda Tarkin]

I GET TO STAY UNTIL THURSDAY!!!! :D :eee

I just need someone to get my ass back to the airport for a 3:48 pm flight!

[Dasquian Belargic]

*gets rowdy* :crack YEEEEAH

[Wyl Staedtler]

Yessssss. This is going to rock so hard.

Just finished tying up loose ends and am definitely coming!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I just remembered, I've got three goodsized venison tenderloins in the freezer. Seeing as how I also have a dehydrator, I'll be making some venison jerky :yum

[Miranda Tarkin]

Not a big jerky fan, but I've never had venison!

[Randall Rudd]

Venison would be best braised with some red wine, clove-studded onions, juniper berries, maybe some dried figs, and a good heavy potato gratin.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have never had venison or jerky :uhoh

[Miranda Tarkin]

Dragon Con and Alabama Rave makes me feel:

[Morgan Evanar]

Charley: it may not be legal in Alabama but it is legal here. Nationally it's not a problem, it's a state issue.

[Mandy with an I]

If we have venison, we have to make Bambi jokes. >_>

I mentioned it in the other thread, but all of the art/drawing people need to bring sketchbooks!

[Randall Rudd]

Charley: it may not be legal in Alabama but it is legal here. Nationally it's not a problem, it's a state issue.

Ehh, bout what I figured. I appreciate the effort though :)

[Wyl Staedtler]

I need one night to cook some peri-peri and begrafnisrys for you guys. :D

[Vipul Chandrashekar]

YES, this needs to happen.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Jenny's been going "Youuu mustttt go..."

So urhm...figured out that if I could catch a ride back to the airport sometime on the 10th I could work it out. :ohno

[Daria Nytherciria]

Heck yas! *fistpump*

Someone give this woman a ride.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Not a problem :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

FYI I am bringing a ukulele, Em is bringing an ocarina, we are going to jam Yellow Submarine. Other ridiculous instruments are welcome.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Oh god it's been put public, now I must do it. :lol

But yay :) Exciting!

[Karl Valten]

FYI I am bringing a ukulele, Em is bringing an ocarina, we are going to jam Yellow Submarine. Other ridiculous instruments are welcome.

If some how I can fit a Trombone on the plane with my stuff....hellz yeah.

OH, and for nerf war stuff, I have chosen the weapon I will be bringing. Say hello to the +bow

http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F12/KY96/FB11L0DH/F12KY96FB11L0DH.MEDIUM.jpg

I'll bring a few different barrels and clips for it as well. I love scratch-built nerf weaponry.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm so gonna put together a makeshift drum set for this.

We could make the back porch our stage!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Trombone?!

I love this Sgt Peppers DIY Backyard Band already.

[Cam Montegue]

YESSSSS BANDS.

I'll bring a lighter and fangirl you.

[Hobgoblin]

I'll bring the air guitar.

Maybe the air keyboard instead.

Or, maybe a kazoo?

Who knows. It is a mystery.

[Callista]

I wish I could make this, but I'm hoping to be attending school and it happens to start the 2nd xD So I think I'd need to go back so I could actually get to a class! lol

[Razielle Alastor]

I'm sure if I dig deep enough through the kids toy boxes I can find some shiny musical...somethings. <_<

If not, I'll bring the Vader voice-changing helmet and be the singer.:lol

[Emelie Shadowstar]

If not, I'll bring the Vader voice-changing helmet and be the singer.:lol

I think that's almost a pre-requirement here. lol We must have Vader singer! :D

[Razielle Alastor]

Vader it shall be.. :lol

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have been filling my iPod with bangin chunes, as they say :cool

[Park Kraken]

I so wanna attend the Rave, but unlike Dragoncon, it's probably so not gonna happen (well the con definitly I won't be at). If it does, then it'll be a suprise probably biggest to me of all.

[Charley]

Come on out. The more the merrier.

[Dasquian Belargic]

From what I have been reading online, there isn't much goes on around the Con on the last day (Monday 7th) so we should be able to leave pretty early and make sure we get the most rave-time squished to however many days we're all gonna be there :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have this sudden compulsion to bring some sky lanterns along to the rave.

[Mandy with an I]

You can make those with trash bags, straws and birthday candles :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

A cheap option.. thats what I like to here. More money to spend on partay.

[Charley]

Haha guys please don't burn down my new house.

[Wyl Staedtler]

We won't burn down the whole thing. Just enough so that years from now you'll have a great story to tell the kids.

"And this is from when your mother and I made the mistake of hosting a clan of orangutans for a few days."


eta: I think I might end up posting the waterblommetjies and rat-poisoned baby jerky to you guys, so I have room in my suitcase for other stuff and can avoid stupid airline charges.

[Charley]

Whichever works best :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Just incase anyone was curious.. seems like Raz is gonna show up for the rave on the 9th and then the two of us will be off to North Carolina on the 10th :)

[Csephion Draxus]

That works :)

[Razielle Alastor]

Just incase anyone was curious.. seems like Raz is gonna show up for the rave on the 9th and then the two of us will be off to North Carolina on the 10th :)

Yesh, this be the plan! :D

[Redik]

Did I mention the part where Raz gets kidnapped and forced to stay on the 9 1/2th? No?

Forget I said anything.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I just had a thought...

Do we have enough cars to get everyone from Atlanta to Alabama? :huh

[Morgan Evanar]

I just had a thought...

Do we have enough cars to get everyone from Atlanta to Alabama? :huhI can seat up to 4 additional people in a pinch, but I don't suggest more than 3.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I count 8 people who need rides plus three people with cars. I don't think its going to be a problem. I'm assuming Charley and Christin are driving over separately, because I think that's what Christin said - that Charley was going over a little early to hang with Yog.

[Sigmund Landers]

^ hopefully someone from my hotel group will be there, otherwise I'll be hanging out at the airport until Yog comes in XD

If we don't have room, someone can ride in the trunk. We'll draw straws ;)

[Callista]

I'm so jealous and sad I can't make it to Alabama. I shall eagerly await piccies!

[Sigmund Landers]

I just bought a new MP3 player that can have piccies on it :ohno I'm so totally using it as a Dragon*Con album when I get home!

[Sam]

Is there any food I could bring to this from Wisconsin? I'd offer some local microbrewed beer, but that would be rather difficult, what with the plane ride and all.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Cheese seems the obvious choice. :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have bought some local alcohol in miniature to bring to the party :3

(no, not Newc Brown Ale)

[Miranda Tarkin]

Started packing! Even in my backpack and duffel bag, I know I can fit 7 days of clothes. However, I know I'll be buying something or another and won't have room to bring it back. So alas suitcase...

[Morgan Evanar]

Or you could do laundry at one point. That's my plan.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Won't have enough room to bring stuff back if I buy something :mneh

Like books, figures etc... that takes up a lot of room so I figure what the hell

[Han Antilles]

I always bring a spare duffel bag stuffed into my luggage just for the sake of bringing home swag from the Dealer's rooms. You learn quick you run out of room.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'll have some room after I unload this wine bottle. If Ty remembers to buy it today (he will). ;)

[Charley]

We've got a big TV to watch movies on and play 360 on, and the furniture arrives when we come back home. Y'all are gonna have a lot of fun :D

[Mandy with an I]

^Yeah, a lot of fun moving your new furniture into your house! XD

My carry-on will be mostly empty by the time I finish giving out goodies that I bought for people, yay :D

[Karl Valten]

We broke in their TV with Transformers and Left 4 Dead. I think a lot of people were amused by Charley and me yelling at the hordes of zombies mobbing us every turn. :)

[Yog]

Charley is making a Capri salad!

[Wyl Staedtler]

^
It was delicious! As was the bread and the hummus. :yum

[Yog]

Brian is now Overlord for the Order of the Scorpion, and all of us in Alabama have been inducted.. ask us some time what that means.:lol

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It means FUCKING AWESOME
















ps - that was alot smoother that I thought it would be

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There better be pictures!! :shakefist

[Xavier Synik]

Brian is now Overlord for the Order of the Scorpion, and all of us in Alabama have been inducted.. ask us some time what that means.:lol

Is this similar to the Order of the Rattlesnake?

[Captain Untouchable]

Either way, it sounds like quite an interesting tail. ;)












I know. Even I can't believe that I went there. >_<

[Xavier Synik]

I actually belong to what we call the "Order of the rattlesnake (or Rattler)"

that's why I'm interested to see if it's similar, cause the initiation for the Rattler is interesting to say the least.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm fancy, I'm fancy! I wear pretty pants! :dance

[Emelie Shadowstar]

:lol :lol :lol

[Xavier Synik]

I'm fancy, I'm fancy! I wear pretty pants! :dance

If that's related to the Scorpion, then we are on TOTALLY different ends of the scale.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Those of you who're in the Order of the Scorpion, pm me your addresses. Liz and I have a little something we'd like to send each of you.

[Pierce Tondry]

G'day!

In spite of Alcoholmageddon I live. Then again, I guess that's to be expected from the Scorpion King.

[Miranda Tarkin]

I miss you all already :(

BUT IT WAS EPIC AWESOME!!!

[Miranda Tarkin]

Climb that Mountain...

[Emelie Shadowstar]

He loves that mountain.

Missing the madness already. Boo to boring bus rides in traffic

[Charley]

All hail the SCORPION KING

[Mandy with an I]

I'm home now :( I just want to say how awesome and wonderful you all are. I'm really glad I got to meet everyone and share in the shenanigans.

I'm also really glad I got all that video, because it makes me laugh way too hard :eee

[Dasquian Belargic]

Missin you guys, boo.

Someone get planning the next meetup.

PS. Sent my address through to s'Il, eagerly awaiting Scorpiony goodness when I get home.

[Droo]

This was the last thing I read before going to bed last night and I dreamt that I was facing a trial of innitiation for the Order of the Scorpion which involved being presented with an enormous black scorpion to kill in my living room. In the end, the dog(which we don't own) killed and ate it. I woke up worrying about the dog being poisoned and then remembered we didn't have one.

Anyways, it sounds like you lot had a blast and while I'm green with envy, I hope a future meet up is arranged since I will actually be able to afford it! Even though many of you have met up before, I'm wondering if anyone picked up on any particular character traits roleplayers shared with any of their characters? I think that would be something quite interesting to look out for... plus I have my suspicions that Jenny really does have the alter ego of a blood-lusting sadist. :uhoh

[Dasquian Belargic]

As others will confirm, my alter ego is that of a delightful wino :mneh

[Miranda Tarkin]

Quite :cool:

[Charley]

A delightful wino who functions nigh exclusively on SHZ, Sambuca, and Cider

[Droo]

As others will confirm, my alter ego is that of a delightful wino :mneh

That's your alter ego?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Well I wasn't exactly drunk *all* the time :uhoh

[Mandy with an I]

Most of the time she was the giggling siamese twin of Liz ;)

[Wyl Staedtler]

Don't front, you guys were all jealous of our ability to laugh in the face of adversity and inebriation. :p

[Mandy with an I]

I'm still amazed at how Jenny would giggle and the sound would come out of you. :D lol!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Giggle twins power?

I'm not going to complain about being able to laugh my ass off at the drop of a hat! :mneh

[Wyl Staedtler]

TATTOO DAY BOOYAH. :partyhard

[Dasquian Belargic]

I want :ohno

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Pictures, or it didn't happen. :)

[Mandy with an I]

Pictures!

Now I want to just drink every night after work...I blame all of you for sending me down this delightful path to potential alcoholism >_>;

[Pierce Tondry]

It did happen and there are pictures. Liz will post them tomorrow. :)

[Liam Jinn]

Boooo! Still no phone call! Boooo!

[Wyl Staedtler]

TATTOOS ACHIEVED.

Let it be known that Christin is amazing. We all knew this already, but now there is human inked proof. (Yes, she designed and sketched all of the above tats)

[Mandy with an I]

Those are all awesome! I'm so jealous.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Ohhhh they look great. Fantastic work, Christin!

[Miranda Tarkin]

Amazing work! :)

[Emelie Shadowstar]

:D awesome! Those all look great!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Wow they look fantastic! Awesome work, Christin. :D

[Wyl Staedtler]

They're healing magnificently too - this dude was a total machine, was so light handed I actually fell asleep while he was doing it (also it was one in the morning by the time I got in the chair :uhoh). Doesn't hurt or twinge a bit, not even whilst cleaning it. M'totally coming back to him one day for another one.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Thanks guys :D

[Callista]

Oooo! So great!!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Threw together a tag for the Order of the Scorpion since I seem to recall us talking about it.

Thoughts and suggestions on tweaking are most welcome :)


http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/silancy/OotS1.jpg

[Pierce Tondry]

Another fine Christin work. :)

Did the Scorpion Surprises ever come to fruition?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oh that looks excellent :eee

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

They did :)

The envelopes are pretty much ready to go out, but it seems that Russian is a pilfering little witch, and I have to make about 3 more to compensate those that were stolen and hidden.

[Mandy with an I]

Check their box fort! XD

Awesome work as usual :)

[Miranda Tarkin]

I can't wait to see what is in the envelop! :eee That tag looks great too :thumbup thanks! :)

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/silancy/OotS1.jpgIt's too big and too complicated. =/ It needs to be like 20 pixels high.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

ah, ok. I was just guessing on the dimensions and went with a fixed 150 pixels wide.

Let me see what I can do.

[Captain Untouchable]

Just a thought - might it be worth matching the "Old Fart" tag thing in terms of dimensions? On the off-chance that we get a Burning Nerd one next as well, some people are potentially gonna end up with quite a stack of 'em...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

There will probably have to be restrictions as to number of images in ones CT.

[Dasquian Belargic]

They are very small images. So long as they are compressed, it should be okay I think... seems like we will only have 3 max anyway :)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

How's this?

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh126/silancy/OotS2.jpg

I took out 'order of the' since room is pretty scarce at that size, and it'd be hard to read if it was in there.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

They are very small images. So long as they are compressed, it should be okay I think... seems like we will only have 3 max anyway :)
I just figured it was something Ogre should weigh in on.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Oh yeah just saying my bit :)

[Emelie Shadowstar]

hope I'm not stepping on toes, but tried my hand at this...

I got a little bored at work today ^_^;

There will probably have to be restrictions as to number of images in ones CT.Not a bad idea.
They are very small images. So long as they are compressed, it should be okay I think... seems like we will only have 3 max anyway :)Of course.
Some people will already have three images.
I just figured it was something Ogre should weigh in on.With all the CT stuff we already have the user info section is already a bit heavy and cluttered, but if no one is complaining go for it.


hope I'm not stepping on toes, but tried my hand at this...

I got a little bored at work today ^_^;

http://i35.tinypic.com/1e6ko9.pngThat is snazzy!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Niiice!! Love it Em! :D

[Miranda Tarkin]

No feet stepped on because that is awesome!

[Pierce Tondry]

Big Green! How's it going dude? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.


hope I'm not stepping on toes, but tried my hand at this...

http://i35.tinypic.com/1e6ko9.png

The Scorpion King approves.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Where's the jaw drop smilie? ha ha.

Didn't expect that kind of response. :D

Glad you guys like it!
