Alright, let's have everyone meet up in Chicago for the US crowd. This is not a ploy for me to save money.

I would not be interested, because, reasons.
How about we just all go on a cruise. Caribbean!
I'll be frank; I don't think I can put the effort required into planning this thing if only a couple handfuls of people will show up. If it can't happen maybe we just do Ciddies gathering parties all over instead of a world meetup, and people can fly to where they want to fly if they have the means and we'll do the Ciddies as normal.
I completely understand that it is beyond imaginable means for some people to go. It's okay. But if in the next two or three years you think you can find a way to come to an event that will live in EoFF infamy, an event that will put Daniel Towns' wedding to shame, then I would hope to see some "maybes" or I'll see what I can dos" in the coming months.
I'm sorry that it can't be easy for everyone, I truly am. But I guarantee you will have the time of your life if you can make it.
My flight to LA was $2150 and my flights to Newcastle were $2100 so either way it is really expensive. The only way I would see this happening is if Tara and I are already planning to be in the UK visiting her family or something. It's not entirely out of the question but 2 years into the future is just too hard to predict.
*leaves forever again*
And change my goddamn name back you bastards.
Thanks, guys.

Like really, a bit over two years is a decent amount of time. If they push it back to 2017 then you've got like 37 months to try and sort something out. It's going to be rough on the ol' bank balance but can you imagine meeting 30 or so of your closest friends?
If nothing else, I suggest you make an effort so you can smack Shorty on the butt. It's an A+ butt.
Fact: four EoFFers (that I know of) have smacked my butt. Want your name added to the list? COME TO CIDDIES 2016/7
Guys, let us throw the gathering in a worn-torn country and get fully paid trips, room and board included. We might even get bodyguards.
Planning two years in advance is not terribly hard. You get an estimate of costs, save a little bit more than that (always have a bumper), and then you do not stress for most of it since Shorty said she would coordinate everything. Come a year from the date of vacation, put in for your time off at work, and extract blood oaths from irl friends to watch your pets/babies/significant others.
Edit: Patience, Shorty. No need to put yourself out on a dinner platter. Display yourself out in a cake dish at most; they at least have glass covers to keep off grubby hands.
Eyes on FF Ciddies 2016/7: Dating aspects no longer exclusive to forums!
Just did a quick and dirty search for flights out of Chicago to UK. I saw prices as low as 5 hundred something to 1,300 something. Though that's if I were to go soon. Who knows what prices would be like in 2-3 years.
We can both leave from O'hare together.
