EoFF Impromptu Meetup 2007! (Aftermath.)

[Denmark]

Okay, so Jowy was supposed to make this thread a while ago, but he neglected to do so.

It started Friday night. A small contingent of EoFFers were talking in #eoff and randomly decided to meet up to go to the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA. This contingent ultimately consisted of:

Jowy (Eric)
Misfit (Shalyn)
enano (Frank)
Denmark (Rob)
Marick/Dignified Pauper/whatever, he's banned. he didn't decide to come until saturday anyway. (Mike)

We all met up at Eric and Shalyn's apartment to stay the night and go to CSC in the morning. This mostly benefited Mike and myself as we lived 4 and 5 hours away, respectively. The evening consisted of watching Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey and raucous conversation, as the entertainment resources in the apartment are limited as they have not quite fully moved in yet.

I am going to post a few choice pictures from my collection, and then go to bed because I've been up for about 18 1/2 hours at this point and that included a 5 hour drive, hence I am tired as hell. Hopefully one of the others will see this and be able to elaborate some more on the activities, and Eric can post his pictures, of which there are more good ones.

Geese hate Marick.

GIANT BRONZE STATUE with Eric on top. Seriously, if this guy stood up he'd be about 15 feet tall. His name is Art Rooney.

We played with these water spout things for a good while. This was the final fountain creation before it all fell over. It's a shower! Mostly Frank's creation, but everyone helped.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD

Marick's car equals epic fail. His speedometer wasn't working on the drive back. We were moving at about 45mph when this picture was taken. Marick is attempting to fix the speedometer a la Fonzie fixing the jukebox, by hitting it. It didn't work.

[theundeadhero]

Pffft, the speedometer in my big truck hasn't worked since at least 2002.

[Jojee]

You guys all fail so bad xD

[Shlup]

In my first car, nothing on the dash worked at all. Not the speedometer, not the gas gauge, nothing.

I want to mount a giant bronze man!!

[Miriel]

I hope Misfit didn't eat any old people or puppies at the meetup. :(

[Cz]

Wow, that really does look like the Hypno-toad.

I don't think we've ever had such a sudden and unplanned meet-up before. You guys are breaking new ground in EoFFer relations. :greenie:

[Rengori]

You guys all fail so bad xD

You're one to talk. :p

[Misfit]

Oh hell yes, I have about a billion more pictures to post when I get home from work! :D

[Markus. D]

Jowy was epic n_n

That's it though :|

[Misfit]

But yeah, there was goose chasing, rock climbing, trampoline flipping, kid snatching, rollercoaster simulating, pancake eating, gross coffee drinking, running-around-naked-out-of-the-showering, submarine wandering, water playing, making earthquakes, cookie robbing, turtle touching, squishy kid toy thing beating, getting lostness... :D

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD

It really is the Hypno-Toad!

Sounds like you lot had a great time. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of the Hypno-Toad

[Levian]

more pictures!

[Baloki]

Added to the map!

[Awrini]

Oh what a fun fun day.

[Misfit]

Enano kept pushing little girls off the rock climbing rock! :o

[Peegee]

I don't see any pics of moosefeet :(

Nice random meetup. But if you all live in the same area it's not really one.

For example I went up to Barrie and met Dyslexicon and Chemical some month or two ago...

[Misfit]

I don't see any pics of moosefeet :(

Nice random meetup. But if you all live in the same area it's not really one.

Rob is from NY and Mike is from Ohio so there. ;D

AND I have pictures of me on my camera so just wait a few more hours 'till I get home from work. 8-)

edit: k so we all have to live millions of miles away for it to be considered a meet-up n_n?

[rubah]

"same area" means different things between small states and big states :}

[Denmark]

PG I had to drive 5 hours across almost an entire state. That's not the same area at all! IT WAS LEGITIMATE.

And I don't remember the running-around-naked-out-of-the-shower. I am so glad about this. I must have still been asleep when that happened.

And our (mine and Mike's) roller-coaster simulation was the worst thing ever xD As opposed to our thinking it would be six random things (such as a barrel roll or a somersault or using the boost to get through), it was the same mystery thing six times in a row.

[Cookie]

Franklin is so small and cute. ^_^

[Misfit]

And I don't remember the running-around-naked-out-of-the-shower. I am so glad about this. I must have still been asleep when that happened.

It was you, actually! You were just too drunk to remember!

[demondude]

And I don't remember the running-around-naked-out-of-the-shower. I am so glad about this. I must have still been asleep when that happened.

It was you, actually! You were just too drunk to remember!

I feel sorry for you all.

[Denmark]

Note to EoFF: I was completely sober for the entire 24 hours I spent with these people. I was also never naked.

Or maybe I was. You'll never know.

[XxSephirothxX]

Or maybe I was. You'll never know.
We can only hope.

[escobert]

Yeah, you guys suck. Why must you plan this all in 1 freaking night. >:(

[Rye]

More pix plz.

If you guys have one of these again next year, I'll definitely try to come. :3

[Awrini]

I don't see any pics of moosefeet :(

Nice random meetup. But if you all live in the same area it's not really one.

For example I went up to Barrie and met Dyslexicon and Chemical some month or two ago...

Wasn't that the semi-failed meetup that most people shied away from at the last moment? ... and I was there!

[Jess]

yay more pixxx~

It looks like fun - except for the fail speedo. :jess:

[Peegee]

One month ago was sept. We met two months ago. I figured it out.

[Awrini]

A little thing to add about the Art Rooney statue.

Marick just HAD to suck on his big bronze "cigar". =P
he really just couldn't resist.

[theundeadhero]

Looks like a lot of fun.

I think I hold the farthest traveled record being an American who went to two Birmingham meetups.

[Jowy]

I was too tired to make a thread.

OH YEAH WE HAVE SOMETHING TO PUT OUR TV ON NOW thanks for helping us carry it up the stairs. <3

[Denmark]

hey, anytime we're there and you need to move furniture, we'll help.

[Jowy]

I'll make sure to have the waterbed delivered when you're here next.

[Denmark]

Might not be for a while though. You might wanna get a bed sooner than that.

[NeoTifa]

awww... i was sorta close, but i couldnt have gone even if peoples watned me too ;_; i would like to meet some of you guys. ohio is boring :\

[Iceglow]

The random meetups of myself and Jack are legend. We seriously do just say "hey man I'm in town or I'm out of town whatever come see me!" on the phone/msn (web cafe's FTW!) Add in to this the last 3 person random EOFF meetup in the UK at my birthday with Jack and Psy where 2 of us found love, one just found rape...yes Psy got done again but thats nothing new :) Many more EoFF members had invites but none came because they all fail hard!

Eric hit me with the foam things. I was sad. :(

[XxSephirothxX]

In this thread, EoFFers do naughty things in public.

[Rye]

Denmark, you look so old now!

[Denmark]

it's the beard. also the fact that i am and always have been old.

oddly enough, i was the youngest of the five of us.

[Misfit]

Lies. Frank was the group's child-like-toy to use to get into the kiddy grounds... :D?

Poor Skt. :(

But looks like you all had fun. :D

[Misfit]

we got you paged and waited in the giftshop :aimsad:

We were in the giftshop for literally like an HOUR and waited. :(

I wasn't exactly sure who all was going though, since it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and everybody was in the csc chatroom. IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

[Awrini]

Are you all happy now, you get real comparisons to how short I am. =P
