Speaking of I have not been following the thread, is this a sleep over or just a dinner or something?

Well, I'll wait here until you've read the previous postings in this thread...

Ok?

Here's how it will be at our farm:

We are going to have a party on Saturday, July 10. Most of the excitement will happen after 2, because ACT won't be home from the Farmers' Market until then.

We'll have wireless, so if you have wi-fi, bring it. We may have a webcam as well too.

Since several people will be here from out-of-town, we have space for tents. If it turns out that there are a lot of people who will be camping, we can mow some pasture. The east end of the property has a good view of Marys Peak. . Parents are welcome! If you have an RV, we'll find a place for it.

If anyone is wondering if we are for real, PM me or email.

i just bought a web cam, so i may join the people on the east coast through web cam. i'll give you guys the link to it in a couple of days.

S....wait....what's the plan for east coast? Confused
Lady Tesser 05-17-2004 05:11 PM
East Coast - like it's been said on every single page - Zola and Falcon's place on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. PM Zola for details.

And I regret to inform the East Coasters that PCT and I will not be able to make it because of financial reasons. Unless we hit the lottery within a couple of weeks, I don't see any change.

Our apologies.
Zola 05-17-2004 05:12 PM
My house on Cape Cod Massachusetts, July 10th. I'll be mailing out invitations at the end of May.
Big Fau 05-20-2004 03:24 PM
I really wish I could go, but, the chances of asking my parents to drive me to Massachusetts and them saying yes, are none to none. Frown

*walks while off whistling* If I only...had a car.....

would you like to ask my parents if we could help chip in some bus fare money? Smile ...or something...

I'd like to meet you (in person that is)...cos 1) everyone would see the greatest/oldest rivals in Paradigm city 2) I want to meet you and actually shake your hand for once and actually CHAT O.o and 3) would it be neat to finally have a megadeus battle off the web? Wink Evil BWAHHAHAHAHAHAA!! ...any property damage made during the ensuing battle will be covered by the Bernardelli Insurance Co. >_> ... <_< ... >_> ...


I know you could afford a hotel of motel around Zola's city, since we just made reservations and they were cheap Shocked , but now how to get you here...try to make a mini vacation out of it with your folks Embarrassed Sweatdrop Come on boy get creative ~_~#

Conveniently suggest you vacation at the Cape around July 10th... And then Conveniently drop something out of the car by Zola's house when driving on the cape on the 10th. Tongue

Ahh...I can't go either, but I'll wave to ya'll (even though you won't be able to see me...)
NukuNuko77 05-20-2004 06:43 PM
anybody know anyplace that has free webcam hosting? so i can provide an URL for the cam
evanASF27 05-20-2004 06:45 PM
I think Zola still has the webcam option...maybe you guys will be able to see us anyways! Big Grin ...like the adult swim site Wink AS has a webcam so you can see the people there...it would be cool for the party to have it set up so people could see everyone Wink

..hmm...free hosting for the webcam?! O_O I have no idea...

I dunno, I tend to shy away from using "Adult Swim" "webcam" and "party" in the same sentence, because that generally points to AS' Halloween Party...and we know how that went over for Big O fans.

Even so, a webcam at the party would be cool. Smile
evanASF27 05-20-2004 06:51 PM

Well, i just asked my mom if we could go to Cape Cod for vacation and if she could drop me off at the party....and...she...said...(oh the suspense!! Tongue )


spoiler (highlight to read):
I'll think about it


spoiler (highlight to read):
So, i'll soon find out (if I can bug/convince her enough Wink ) what her verdict is.


*prays* oh God please let it be YES!!! ;_; */pray*

Eh, I got no transportation, but I'll be there in spirit! Making a scene and eventually passing out with my head in the cooler.

Ask around--I think there are several members near you, like Opsnafu. Maybe you could PM him. Smile

Just a note Smile

I'll be bringing to Zola's Cookout maybe 15 or so CD's with special editions of "Big O - Megamix Times Sq" and "Big O - Remix Ellis Island" (which are better quality and have little extra bits added in which aren't in the originals that I had posted here Wink ). The two megamixes will be great mp3 quality, AND there may be one more song added to the list on each CD!!

In edition to the "Megamix Times Sq--Cookout Edition" and "Remix Ellis Island--Cookout Edition", I have in the works a special ultimate megamix that will hopefully be ready and released at the cookout. Big Grin The ULTIMATE Megamix is called "Big O - The Events of Forty Years Ago", and will include ALL the songs on the two OSTs. The full version of 'Big' will be used and the full of version 'And Forever' will be used, and the whole megamix wll be laid out in classic episode style (opening with 'Big' and then ultimately ending after forty songs with 'And Forever'). A little more details about this megamix:

- It will hopefully give you a feeling of at least two Loop cycles.
- the begins of the loops will be sad and cool, then jazzy and then reach the climax and reset
- Two of the hardest songs to have in a remix (Divine, Before Dawn) will be *sucessfully* included with style
- All three versions of 'Flag' will be timed in at crucial scenes where suspense begins and where the mood will change.
- The only song not being included is "Legend of First Memory" ...cause it is a remix...a poorly done remix in my mind, but still...each song will only be used once I assure you.

Anymore and you wouldn't need to hear the finished product! Tongue So wish me luck with this grand undertaking and be thankful I'm not charging you for each CD at the cookout Wink Big Grin x_x


...err...english class now...BYYYEEEE @_@;;;

*EDIT*
Btw, since said files are so friggin large, I will NOT be releasing them on the forums cause they would take at least a half an hour or so to download. (This is predicted size, they would be really big)
...So in order to be fair, if someone going to the West Coast cookout can stand the long downloading time (on MSNM preferably) and also be willing to make 15 or so CD copies his/herself in order to make sure people on the West Coast get em, JUST SPEAK UP! Big Grin These are great megamixes and the best quality ones (which I'm making as Cookout Editions) are even better!! DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE!

COME TO THE EAST COAST (and hopefully west coast ((if somone will do all that downloading + copying on in the west for me)...) COOKOUT(s)!!!!

Ehhh... I dunno, no offense to anybody on here but hitching rides from people I've never met isn't written in the "Good Ideas" notebook...

Excuses, excuses ... ^_^

I took a stupid Greyhound bus up to Boston five years back to visit a friend from the net whom I've never met before. Turned out to be one of the most fun weekends in my life and she ended up being the matron-of-honor at my wedding (and we're still writing fanfics together).

Believe me, I'd be up there at the Cape with y'all in July - might even pick up a few of you along the way if it were possible. Not this year. Real Life is just not cooperating. *is sad*
