Duly noted. I'll bring however many decks I can find. I think I've got a blue/green, a white and maybe a zombie. Late sounds awesome seeing as how we've only got one day.

But yeah, we've got a 17-year-old in a Felix shirt, a 15-y-o in a maple leaf and a steam punk. shouldn't be too hard to find. I don't think we really need a code.
Should be fun.

Alright! We'll single off non-nerdy cool kids and slowly corrupt them into geeks. Bahahahahaha!

I kid, I kid, we'll just stick to the aforementioned apple-throwing plan.

But but but.


I liked being the Homecoming Duchess!

(I swear, that's what the freshman royalty was, and I actually got 2nd place, but it was because the first place person ripped away my posters)

I got to ride around the football field in a mustang!

Will do. And remember there's a difference between a nerd and a geek. Geeks are cooler. I'll be sure to pick some up.

EDIT: @Pocks: Sweet. I'm kind of with you there. Recently I've been moving up the social ladder as well. Not to keen on giving that up.

Thumbs up Re: Bay Area/California meetup

I will bring my deck! Only one though, I've had bad luck losing them. I lost 3 in one day once, before I got to use them back in the 7th.

PSP slim, red Kratos edition, with God of War: Chains of Olympus.

Hmm. Being from Australia - and not slim - I wonder how whether my PSP will connect with yours. And we can keep your decks safe, Pox... but either way.

Also, woo! yeah! *highfives Icewalker*

Oh no!

I'm melting!

Do you know what firmware your PSP runs? Also, the PSP slim has no infrared port (so no universal remote :( ) and it can't be homebrewed (yet).

It turns out the other person I know wasn't the people I assumed they were. Although I am from NZ! (dual citizenship, my parents are split with dual custody, one lives in NZ, always has, and one lives here, and always has).

Um, I'll be the tall guy. The tall guy with long hair. Unless I decide to shave it all off by then (and I might). Then I'll be the tall guy with a shaved head.

Don't worry Pox. Us big strong men will protect you.

To be honest, I don't know what joke I was setting up there. But it's true anyway, damned ingrained chivalry...

Thank goodness somebody has chivalry nowadays!

Best friend, I'm reconsidering whether he is now indeed my bestie, as he has chosen to ignore me @ school for next year, but is fine with talking to me online. I'm not sure what I'll do. But, severe lack of chivalry, and he's from a 'good' family.

EDIT: Silent, nvm. My friend says he knows you IRL and he doesn't think I know-you-know-you, so apparently I might know you IRL, but you don't seem to be one of the people that dislikes me IRL, else you would most likely have PM'd me.

Well, some might call it, "A willingness to find excuses to beat people up," but, hey, tomato toh-mah-toh.

Seriously, though, I am always glad to render what help I can, and that goes to anyone, really.

If you're talking about my response time then my apologies, I was out all day with my friend who I haven't seen in a while.

Go ahead and give credit to Felix since he's the one you're actually quoting.

I... I am so confused right now. Spend 3 years away from the bay in college, and bam, you forgot old things.

So, me being slightly lazy and more so, confused, where is the primary place for the meet up?

I should be able to make it later in the day on the 23rd, though I may be tired, as I'm either coming in the day or the day before back from Seattle.

Also, I can bring a few magic decks, I've just recently got back into the game.

Now, I could be horribly wrong about this but we're meeting at a place called Eudmonia from approximately noon until we get kicked out for our raucous behaviour - ofcourse you can turn up whenever you want though. Bring those magic decks! If you need directions ask one of the other guys, they seem to know where it is.
