Where:

Johnson City, TN

Important Note: The Hippie Hut is no longer the gathering/muster point. This location will be moved to our "host" hotel, the Best Western. Please do not drop by the Hippie Hut or the Igloo without a prior invitation.

Accommodations:

Room Block should be setup now!

We will have a meeting area at the Best Western on N. Roan. It should be available to us starting at 6PM Friday evening until checkout time Sunday morning. As part of the booking, we have told them we will fill up a 10 room block. The room rates are pretty great. $72.99/night. These rates will apply to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. Please make sure to let them know which nights you are staying. You are not obligated to stay all four nights, it's just setup that way, so that we have enough rooms blocked off.

The number to contact the Best Western at is: 423/282-2161.
Please wait until next week before calling to make a reservation.
The group name for this block is "Trogland Meetup."
We need to have the 10 rooms booked before June.
Please up the thread if you reserve one of these rooms, so that we can keep track of what is left/available.


Room Count(Confirmed): 0
*They will add extra rooms, but we'll need to make sure to get at least 10.

Hotel Amenities include:
Restaurant on-site
Cocktail lounge
Complimentary breakfast
Outdoor pool
Free internet

When:

Begins: June 26^th, 2015
Ends: June 28^th, 2015

No official events will be happening outside this time!
However, feel free to coordinate with other attendees if you think you may be arriving early/leaving late, to form your own events.

Why:

Quite simply, because it's fun. Trogland is full of people. The Trogland Meetup is attended by some of the most awesome people in all of Trogland. Do you really want to miss that?

FINALLY. I'd like some solid dates and all but I've told everyone that I'm busy the last weekend of June.

[Gryffon]

From my thought process, it's going to be the last weekend again, because the previous one is Father's Day.

[Penguinsushi]

Registration site is actually *not* up at present. More info to come.

Edit: *Site* is now up. Registration is currently inactive. Please stand by.

~PS

[Gryffon]

Dates added. Last weekend of June, sorry Canadians, Father's Day wins this round!

So, that's a definite for you Mauve? =P

[Thes Hunter]

Wish I could come. But I again will not be able to.

[Ceika]

Unless something dramatically changes in the near future, Tantolian and I will most likely not be able to attend this year.

[Archonic Energy]

mememememememememememememememememe.

did i say me?
i'll be bringing my UK version of CAH with me too...

operation: European invasion starts here.

[KuReshtin]

*goes looking for passport*

I will make it to Trogland meetup, and this one might as well be it. Sign me up!

[Penguinsushi]

Wish I could come. But I again will not be able to.

BOO.

Unless something dramatically changes in the near future, Tantolian and I will most likely not be able to attend this year.

and also, BOO.

[Mauve Shirt]

Yes.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Nothing and nobody will stop me from coming this year.
The boyfriend already knows he cannot stop me (this one will not be in attendance with me), I already have the appropriate days off from work in for request, I'm saving up

So, provided Mango and Phil are a yes, I'm a yes

Also who wants to share a hotel room? :O

[Reverent-One]

I'm in for sure. Possibly my girlfriend as well, though her summer situation is in too much flux to determine right now.

[Mountain_Faerie]

I'm glad to see the thread is up. I hope something miraculous occurs ...cough... Ceika ...cough...
I want to see you all!

[mangosta71]

We can add my copies of One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Shadows of Brimstone, and Dr. McNinja's Legendary Showdown to the list of games available. And of course I'll have my copy of Cards Against Humanity to make sure we don't get tainted by those silly English.

[The Valiant Turtle]

I should be good this year. Mrs. Turtle knows better than to keep me away 2 years in a row.

Fantastic, man!!

~PS

[Alarra]

We'll all be there.

[Krade]

I will be there, naturally. I'm also quite sure that tyckspoon and Kina will be as well. At least, they said they were planning on it last time we talked (about a month ago).

Did anyone else get excited because "NINE? That's almost TEN!"

...I did.

Edit: I also have several new games from Kickstarter that I'll probably bring. I'll list them up with a brief description as soon as I'm feeling less lazy and sleepy.

[Mauve Shirt]

I've actually got a pretty cool new Scrabbley deck-building game and I'm looking forward to murdering you all with it.

[smellie_hippie]

Looks like things are a go, and I am excited to see everyone!

[Haruki-kun]

I'm going to look at all of my resources and try to find a way to make it, buuuuut..... I'm 90% certain I won't make it again. Sorry, guys.

[mangosta71]

Funny how you always manage to win games when you're the only one who knows the "rules". Like Cribbage.

[Mauve Shirt]

Rules to this game: It's hopeless, Mauve wins, just give her all your points.

[RabbitHoleLost]

I'd give all my points to Mauvey
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[tyckspoon]

Ecrinya already secured that week/end off and I'll get somebody to forge a medical excuse note for me if it comes to that, so yeah, we'll be there.

[Krade]

I actually managed to beat her in Cribbage several times last time we played. I'm pretty sure the stars had aligned just so to make that happen, because after winning like, 8 games straight (including Skunking her once), she proceeded to whoop me again as per her usual.

*A troglodyte smoking a Coffin Nail™ Brand cigarette pokes his head into the thread*

Trogland, Nine?

Trogland, Nien?

Nien. Trogland: ja.

Yes, Trogland. Trogland: Yes.

*stares into the sea of blank, unrecognizing faces for a moment. Blinks and takes a slightly uncomfortable drag and releases a small puff of smoke.*

Hi, Trog's Trog McClure. You may remember Trog from such educational films as: Trogs: Our Fine Feathered Colleagues, Get Confident, Stupid!, and Meetup Melee: The Kubbening of Larry Driscol.

*Stares into the sea of blank, unrecognizing faces for a moment more*

They uh... *Points to thread title somewhat helplessly* Er... Someone renamed a country after Trog? And uh.. that uh... that country got turned into a name of an event?

An event you might have heard of? *nods and makes encouraging hand gestures for a brief moment*

*Stares into the sea of blank, unrecognizing faces for another moment. Blinks.*

Tavern? Trog's Tavern? Over a quarter of a million posts and counting? Is none of this ringing a –

*Actively waves hand in front of people's faces trying to elicit a response. Looks to his left and talks to someone off camera* Is this thing on? ... You didn't get Trog an audience of undead again did you? You know because the last time that happened they changed the Talk Show's time slot to being hidden away somewhere in Silly Message Board Games and Trog's ratings went into the shi...

'Not undead,' you say?

*glances sidelong at the crowd* Sooooo... this is some sort of stunning spell or?...

...

Lag? You think it's lag?

...

But, see, Trog paid his bill and there really shouldn't be any sort of disconnection or interruption in Trog's servi–

No Trog doesn't want to be transferred to "Tech Support" what the heck is that some sort of... warforged jock strap?

Nevermind. It must be lag. Trog'll just, you know, hang around until it passes.

*Puts his hands in his pockets and rocks back and forth slightly on the balls of his feet, looking around here and there at the sea of still, staring faces and puffing away at his Coffin Nail™.*

*Wanders slowly over closer to the crowd. Looks left and right quickly then hooks a finger into the front of a shirt and looks down it, appraisingly*

*Looks over quickly to someone off stage* WHAT?! ... Trog's not harassing the... Look, he might have had Hippiebraü stashed away in there! Trog was just looking, sheesh.

Someone just tell them Trog's coming to the meet up, okay? And someone get Trog a coffee.

[Penguinsushi]

Re: Trog

Ok, Two things:

1) That might be the most roundabout and clever confirmation I've ever heard.

and

2) Glad to hear you're gonna make it out again, man - it's been....awhile.
