TWG-East: The Gathering

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Downtown Greyhound is Scary!!!

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

That doesn't answer the freaking question. Terds.

I could, if it saves you all the trouble of something or other go to the Springfield VA stop.

However, it would seem that what would be a 14 hour trip to DC becomes a 21 hour trip to Springfield.

But I will do it. I am to arrive in Springfield VA at 7:05 am. That's the only time they have for arriving.

As for departing, I will now be leaving at 1:20 pm on monday eve.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

woah! they have you camping out at the DC stop for 6 hours? That's kind of what we want to avoid. Is there a plan to get to the DC stop at a rerasonable daytime hour?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

well, I'm scheduled to arrive in DC by 11 pm. So if you're wanting to pick me up then that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll just wait it out and be in Springfield around 7 am.

I've already bought the ticket because I didn't want to wait any longer in purchasing this.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

food,

what do people think they'd want so I can draw up a few practice menu's?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

1 -- going out into the wonderful world would be fantastic.

2 -- cookout/good eats sounds great

3 -- some gaming/writing would be excellent fun.

Hmmm, what types of things to eat eh? Something with some meat. Maybe some corn on the cob. Don't know if it's in season down there. I know it's about the right time for it up here.

But you are the chef. All you need do is show us some crazy concoctions and we'll give you are opinion on them, yes?

[Shrain]

As for departing, I'd be leaving monday at 7:15 pm. Since I'm pretty sure I wasn't on the schedule and am going to take advantage of that.

Woot! That's cool. Now I won't be solo on the last day of my mini holiday.

Nein the RPG stuff is with you in mind Shrain my dear...
muhahahahahahahhaha!

*snorts* Heh. So I gather. That's cool; I'm game. Just go easy on me, k?

Oh, and what's with the "Jeffenstein" name, dude? *I* am Dr. Shrain-kenstein. Are you trying to move in on my mad scientist territory?

food, what do people think they'd want so I can draw up a few practice menus?

Wow! A menu even! /me ponders the delicious possibilities....

In the meantime, here are the two possible flights I could take. I, uh, have to arrive kinda early, unless I want to pay more than $155 for the round trip. But the way I figure, since I have to check my bag, I probably won't need to be picked up until 9:30am. I hope that won't be terribly awful. How about the departure time? SE? Jeffe?

ARRIVAL
Sat at IAD @ 8:54am

DEPARTURE
Mon from IAD @ 8:20pm
OR
Mon from IAD @ 6:27pm

P.S. We can't forget to take a group pic of us in our cool costumes!!

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Are you trying to move in on my mad scientist territory?

Um hello... my name year round is Mad Dr. Jeffe,.... I was expecting you to go with a Ghost Train (Ghost Shrain) metaphor or something. Or you could be Shrainkensteins Monster. Or Even just Shrainkenstein.

So um yeah, your gonna be there a full day before I. Or me. or something, depending on how long I stay at Chief Flynn's retirement ceremony.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Oh, also, I was thinking, maybe E could cook up something for Eberron or something... Maybe in Sharn (in praise of Shrain! All hail Shrain!) For a quick intro to D&D.

Pre-made Characters are not ruled out.

[Shrain]

Um hello... my name year round is Mad Dr. Jeffe,.... I was expecting you to go with a Ghost Train (Ghost Shrain) metaphor or something.

True, you're a mad dr. year-round, but... see, I always thought of you more like a Mad Hatter type, ya know, rather than a Frankensteinian one. All that aside, I am thinking that the Ghost Shrain name is kinda groovy. So I think I'll try that on for size. Just so we don't have too many mad dr. types around.

So um yeah, your gonna be there a full day before I. Or me.

"I" is the right pronoun. Yet... when you say a day late, does that mean you're arriving on Sat. like I am?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

I need arrival dates/times. roughly exact ones. So I can arrange for people to be picked up (probably by me). And also so I can plan events

I already have Gemm's. Gemm, I will get you at 11 at the DC stop (that's Friday, right?). Just before noon should be less scary than aroudn midnight.

I will have some sort of adventure waiting.

For food: I'm thinking pork chops or steaks or something

also, potatoes. I have a good herbal rice recipe my dad uses, if anyone cares for it.  And I'll make bread. Jeffe will be in charge of meat and possible veggies. We can shop for ingredients when the menu is decided. Just don't go to expensive, and we'll be good splitting the check, I think.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I was thinking fresh pasta

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Then think again! Eric wants MEAT!

Also, Jeffe. When are you planning on arriving? The earlier friday, the more play time.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I work friday, wont be there till Sat or late friday night..

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

ok, and when you leaving? Late enough on monday to take shrain to the airport after I go to work that night?
