64D tour of America!

Posted by firestormx on April 26, 2012, 9:34 a.m.

Well, at least the north eastern part of America. Maybe more depending on demand.

Canadonian and I are planning to come down and visit the US from Friday June 1st to Sunday June 10th (we have to be home by Sunday), so that's 10 days, and 9 nights.

SO. We don't really have any plans, except that I want to go to Virginia again, and that we're doing this to have an adventure, and visit as many 64D members as we can. I do realize that most of you will have moved out of your dorms by then, so you won't all be concentrated in large cities, but we'll try.

I was thinking of doing a circle, where we enter the US through Detroit and visit Michigan people, like Rez, then roll through Ohio and meet Acid and Chiken, and then a mishmash of Virginia, Maryland, The Commonwealth of Pencil, New York, and maybe go all the way up to Maine.

That's what I was thinking, but that's without anyone telling me where they live or to come visit.

Let me know where you live, and we'll try plot our course to visit you. If you can give us shelter for a night, that'd be cool (TWISTERGHOST DID IT LAST TIME. DO YOU REALLY WANT TG TO BE BETTER THAN YOU?!), but if you can't, we'd still like to visit, and at least go for a meal or something.

It doesn't have to just be these states either. If you live anywhere in the US (even out west) post your city and state, and we'll see if it's worth spending half our trip driving across the US.

tl;dr: Canadonian and I are rolling through the US starting on June 1st. Post your city and state so we can visit you, and/or spend a night at your place.

I don't mean to overshadow the RPG comp, but I'm gonna pin this 'cause I really want people to let us stay at their place, 'cause sleeping in cars is uncomfortable. =3

Update: Here's a list of states, and who's there.

Update again: New list

Probable locations:

Michigan: Arc (Western), Alert Games (North of Detroit)

Ohio: Chiken (Cincinnati), Snakeman (Columbus), Acid (Warren)

Commonwealth of Pencil: JID, Other

Virginia: Zac1790 (Gloucester), other (VA Beach)

New York: colseed (South East)

Mass: Poly, EV

Rhode Island: Purianite

Places we won't go by (sad face):

Texas: Pounce and Reidd (El Paso), DF (Richardson), Kenon, Seleney (Houston), kabob/Kamira (Forth Worth)

Missouri: CPS (St Joseph)

Kansas: Obeilsk

Mississippi: Leemcd56

Utah: Kilin

Alabama: Hel

Colorado: Eva-unit-01

Arizona: McFluffeh

California: Cyrus, Ferret, LAR, Mush (San Diego)

Indiana: RC (North central)

Atlanta: Meow44 (Georgia)

Google maps: Map

I think it'd be awesome to fly around to some states as well once we're in the US - that way we can actually visit Cali, but it's not cheap. :(

Southeastern part of New York, but

Visit me in north central Indiana for a lot of awkward silence.

Ah, I'm still a highschool (college) student living with my parents, so this might be tricky/awkward.

I seem to recall Juurian and avl being in the same area, but I dunno 'bout them really

And Brits. We invented the mile.
The Romans invented it. Also, it still iritates me to NO FUCKING END to hear Jeremy Clarkson respond "what is that in British?" when someone says something in kilometres.

Acid: I moved you to Michigan. I've moved you back. XD

Colseed: We'll see if we can swing by on our way up to Boston or something. =)

Meow: If we go through Alabama, we can probably stop in Atlanta-area.

If gas in the US is only a dollar per litre, and the Canadian dollar remains higher than the US, and our car averages 500kms on a 50L tank (I'm just guessing. We'll be renting a car. I'm not putting fucking 10k+ on a car I own), then that's:

10,500 / 500 = 21 fill ups.

21 * 50 = 1,050 litres.

1,050 * $1 = $1,050.

$1,050 * 100 = 100,050 cents.

100,050 cents * non-existant Canadian penny = 0.

Therefore this will cost zero pennies in gas.

You'll be going through that area? Hmmm I was thinking of visiting my sister in Washington DC… Oh wait, I don't think I'll be out of school until the 8th or 9th, that'd be cutting it kinda close :/

SteveKB 12 years, 8 months ago

sounds nice; I'll just say hello and stuffs~ and if I have any money I'll take you out to eat somewhere maybe.

The end of that week (around the 10th) is pretty busy for me. Just a heads up.

twisterghost 12 years, 8 months ago

You should come visit me.

Oh wait. I already took your Americaginity.

firestormx 12 years, 8 months ago

Going by the rough plot so far, the East coast (DC / Boston) will be Friday or Saturday. If you get there for the weekend we might be able to meet up Ferret. I wonder if your nipples are genetic. Hmm…

Oh geez I sound like Rob.

Poly: But around the end of that week is when we'd be coming by. T_T

Probably like the 9th.

TG: You made me fat. :(

Also, where are you going to be around that time? Still in school?

Polystyrene Man 12 years, 8 months ago

Well that's why I was giving you a heads up! My brother is graduating on the 10th. If you're a couple days early or a couple days late then it should be fine. 9th might work out, it just depends on what time you'd be in town.

Ferret 12 years, 8 months ago

Ew no >_> my sister is off limits, old, and has a boyfriend. And we don't really look alike so I don't think so.

Hmmmmm I'm going to have to really think about that, not sure if it'd be easy to get away from my sister, considering I "flew across the country to see her" it'd be random if I asked to go see some internet friends :P
