New York Boarders - Anti-Chicago Drinkup!

[TheTravis!]

Hey fellas. I need some details on what our plans are for this year's Anti-Chicago drinkup. I'm trying to schedule some stuff that weekend, so I wanted to know what day we were doing it. Also, Jenny and I are thinking of getting a hotel room and staying overnight, so if we can figure out the location of the drink-up now, it will help me figure out which hotel to go with.

You're not going to WW-Chi?

[MIKE D]

This is a lame question on my part, but what weekend is this?

[TheTravis!]

You're not going to WW-Chi?

Not this year, unfortunately. The cost of travel and hotel was just too much for us to swing. We're trying to pay down debt so that we can buy a house next year or the year after.

We took a long weekend to Bar Harbor, Maine last weekend. That's going to be our "vacation" this year. Although we might drive up to Niagra Falls later in the year.

I am bummed about not being able to go and see everyone. Maybe next year.

[TheTravis!]

This is a lame question on my part, but what weekend is this?

6/26-6/29.

If we're still doing the drinkup, the 28th works best for us.

[MIKE D]

6/26-6/29.

If we're still doing the drinkup, the 28th works best for us.

Same here. I have to keep that weekend tentative. The missus' birthday is that Thursday.

[Fourthman]

Ooooh, this is good. My girls will be in South Carolina from the Wednesday before to the Wednesday after. I can do this.

[PeterSparker]

I am in town, and I am down, for that weekend!*











*but I refuse to get a ride home from Fourthman afterward ...

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

I am in town, and I am down, for that weekend!*











*but I refuse to get a ride home from Fourthman afterward ...

Why not? Seems to me he's got great luck!

[Fourthman]

Why not? Seems to me he's got great luck!

Yeah, but it's ONLY me that has the luck.

[PeterSparker]

Yeah, but it's ONLY me that has the luck.



So naive ... when the island is done with you, we'll see how "lucky" you are.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

Yeah, but it's ONLY me that has the luck.

Oh, yeah...Yeah, I'd probably stay out of his car.

[Ray G.]

Mike D. laid down the law to me at NYCC. I need to start attending more drink-ups, and this looks like a damn fine place to start! :D

[DaGetHighKnight]

Im down for whenever my lady...we can make war or make babies...

[Glixy]

I'm determined to show up at one of these things and meet you guys.

Count me in.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

If I could afford it, I would be there, but I'm really trying to pay things off.

[MIKE D]

Mike D. laid down the law to me at NYCC. I need to start attending more drink-ups, and this looks like a damn fine place to start! :D

I'm good for law laying.

[MIKE D]

Your Matt Lauer Love Doll can miss one month's payment, dude.

[THWIP!]

WHOO! Can't wait!

[Jonathan Callan]

I would so be down for this.

[Ray G.]

Also, I vote we do this at the Triple Crown.

They have lamb.

[Fourthman]

I would so be down for this.

But...?

[Jonathan Callan]

But...?

But then I realize, I am down for this. And am coming.

[Fourthman]

Also, I vote we do this at the Triple Crown.

They have lamb.

And the 30th is a payday. Fuck! Alright, I'll buy three orders of lamb, BUT EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE SOME. I don't want to piss Maleeve's gods off.

[Ray G.]

And the 30th is a payday. Fuck! Alright, I'll buy three orders of lamb, BUT EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE SOME. I don't want to piss Maleeve's gods off.

:lol: I had even forgotten about that whole thing. I just know that the lamb I had after NYCC was fucking awesome.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

Your Matt Lauer Love Doll can miss one month's payment, dude.

They said they'll take him away from me if I miss another one!

[Jef UK]

I think I'm good for the 28th. *marks calendar*

[Jonny Z]

should be ok for me, i think.

[DAVE]

Not sure if I can make this. But as always, I'll try my damnedest.

[TheTravis!]

Also, I vote we do this at the Triple Crown.

They have lamb.

And that's precisely why we do this. We gather together so that we can watch a dude who sort of looks like Sonny Bono babble on incessently about prepubescent superheroines while his mouth is full of lamb chunks.

[DAVE]

God, I hope my friends aren't coming this weekend so I don't miss this!

[Flonk]

My vacation starts on the 27th and ends on July 4th.

So what I'm saying is that you guys are about as fun as a trip to Florida.

[Pat Loika]

If I had a few thousand bucks, I'd love to do a cameo...

[ShortStack]

aw HELL YES
do it somewhere with an easy to dupe bouncer so i can come tooo!

[MIKE D]

aw HELL YES
do it somewhere with an easy to dupe bouncer so i can come tooo!

How about a place where there is no bouncer?

[LazyComix]

I'm too lazy to look through this thread... what day is this meet up?

--r

[TheTravis!]

I'm too lazy to look through this thread... what day is this meet up?

--r

The 28th. Now the issue becomes where.

[Shade]

Hmm... count me in.

[TheTravis!]

Now, a lot of you fuckers are claiming you'll be there, but I've heard that story before. And then it ends up being just me and my wife, Mike D, Jonny, Fourthman, and David the Mighty.

[MIKE D]

Now, a lot of you fuckers are claiming you'll be there, but I've heard that story before. And then it ends up being just me and my wife, Mike D, Jonny, Fourthman, and David the Mighty.

Don't forget THWIP! and Xander.

[Xander Boune]

Sounds great, another drink-up is well overdue.

[Jef UK]

Now, a lot of you fuckers are claiming you'll be there, but I've heard that story before. And then it ends up being just me and my wife, Mike D, Jonny, Fourthman, and David the Mighty.

Oh, Jonny will be there? Nevermind. I'm out.

[DAVE]

Wait David the Mighty will be there? Nevermind. I'm out.

[TheTravis!]

Sounds great, another drink-up is well overdue.

If you could try to not get my wife fucked-up beyond the ability to walk and make sentences, that would be swell. She claims you are directly responsible for every NYC hangover she has ever had. :)

[TheTravis!]

Don't forget THWIP! and Xander.

I always assume them as a given, since I carry them with me, in my heart.

[PeterSparker]

Don't forget THWIP! and Xander.

But make sure to forget PeterSparker! I mean I was at Stout the last time the Travis' made a trip in. Glad to see I made such a positive impression. :neutral:

[MIKE D]

That's a lot of words to say, "Want to finger-bang?"

[TheTravis!]

I turns out that you are completely invisible to me. Not sure why. Something to do with science.

[MIKE D]

That's a lot of words to say, "Want to finger-bang?"

I'm verbose.

[TheTravis!]

I'm a gaylord.

Homoerotically Fixed.

[MIKE D]

Homoerotically Fixed.

Presto Homo!

[PeterSparker]

I turns out that you are completely invisible to me. Not sure why. Something to do with science.
I'm kinda like the Jacob of the Drink-ups, some of you see me some of you can't.*













*also possible that you just can't see through all the smoke when we get together

[THWIP!]

But make sure to forget PeterSparker! I mean I was at Stout the last time the Travis' made a trip in. Glad to see I made such a positive impression. :neutral:

I never forget The Sparker.

[ShortStack]

yeah i'll definetely be there. Taking a chinatown bus back in the morning before my 11am work shift. Booyakasha.
Anyone have somewhere I can crash?
Don't get any ideas the last person who tried to spoon me when i crashed at their place got punched in the kidney.

[Xander Boune]

Somehow Jen appears and then woah, there's two Irish carbombs right in front of me! I can't explain it. :innocent:

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

I can't afford to come down, and it hurts me in a way I can't express. :sad:

[THWIP!]

I can't afford to come down, and it hurts me in a way I can't express. :sad:

We'll try and miss you but it'll be hard when we're going to be having a fucking awesome time drinking.

I call bullshit on you. There must be something you can sell to make the scratch to come on down. Sperm? A Kidney? Your mother's jewelry?

If you're not there, who am I going to gay it up with?

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

If you're not there, who am I going to gay it up with?

:lol: Will they take my sperm, even with all the STDs I've got? Believe me, I wish I could, you guys are the coolest fuckers alive. Ever since Comic Con I've been going "Shit, I want to do that again!" Sadly, I really just can't afford it right now. Hookers cost money.

I question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

I question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

:lol:

[Fourthman]

I think this could be epic. Well, as a guy who's totally domesticated, it has to be. (Not to say I'm not enjoying marriage. We're boning like teenagers. I think a near death experience might have the effect of 5 years of therapy.)

[THWIP!]

Was the point of this post to tell us how epic this drink-up will be? Or to tell your internet friends about ALL the sex you're having?

[Fourthman]

Yes.

I'm really excited for this drink up. I think I'm going to get retarded.

So you can hear bar noise and a bunch of drunk nerds yelling? Is that the best use of your cell phone minutes?

[TheTravis!]

Guiness on tap plz.

Fuck you and your Guiness request. You already told us you're unwilling to spoon, so we don't care if you get drunk or not.

[Angel]

So you can hear bar noise and a bunch of drunk nerds yelling? Is that the best use of your cell phone minutes?
yes. the only people i talk to on my cell are nerds anyway. :p

indeed. calling chicago: WAVE OF THE FUTURE!


So you can hear bar noise and a bunch of drunk nerds yelling? Is that the best use of your cell phone minutes?

her minutes? no. my minutes? sure.

[TheTravis!]

And what a conversation it will be.

"Hey! We're drunk!"
"We're drunk, too! Brubaker rules!"

[c. page]

And what a conversation it will be.

"Hey! We're drunk!"
"We're drunk, too! Brubaker rules!"

we'll try and get bendis on the phone if you guys call. or maybe mack.

"Bendis! It's Travis!"
"Who?"
"THE Travis!"
"Who?"
"You know what? Fuck you, Bendis. Put Loika on the fucking phone."

[ShortStack]

Fuck you and your Guiness request. You already told us you're unwilling to spoon, so we don't care if you get drunk or not.

I love you too. :D

[Angel]

"Bendis! It's Travis!"

i see nothing wrong with that conversation. you can always brag you talked to bendis on the phone. win, win.

[c. page]

"Bendis! It's Travis!"

[TheTravis!]

Bendis hugged me once. I smelled like Chic-Fil-A for a week. True story.

[TheTravis!]

:lol:

mack would know who you were. the man remembers everybody.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know who any of us are, it's just that when someone says, "Remember me, from the Bendis Board?" he just goes into an automatic "I'm talking to a psycho" posture of defensive niceness.

should i be worried that he's remembered my name at conventions then? am i on THE LIST?!?!?!

[ShortStack]

He may remember me. Even though I barely remember me when this was taken.

Not worth it. Just accept a coupon to Olive Garden. I hear the food there is good :lol:

[Adam Witt]

it's the chicago way!

I'd rather do it the Tacoma way. Doesn't that usually involve non-violent crime?

[Flonk]

THERE WAS NO LIST! :x

[Slewo.O]

apparently we're branching out into violent crime, as well. recent reports have the police force being "overwhelmed".


Meh it isn't fun the Tacoma way.

don't knock it til you've tried it.

[Flonk]

are you not going to be in chicago this year?

I've barely got enough money to make it to NYC. :(

Apparently ruining everything is the wave of the future.

That's what he gets for going to NYC. Come to Chicago that's where some of the best action is.

[Adam Witt]

you'll pretty much be in seattle most of the time, so it shouldn't matter too much.

Yeah, but, y'know, crime potential. I can always go over to Tacoma and overwhelm the police force.

[c. page]

Apparently ruining everything is the wave of the future.

[Adam Witt]

that'll teach you to steal my popcorn.

At least I've got your wallet, instead.

[Adam Witt]

this is true. and hey, comic book ink!

I'll never be a true Taco Man, but hey. Why not ruin things up when there's a chance?

[c. page]

At least I've got your wallet, instead.

enjoy outdated business cards and old gift cards that aren't worth anything.

do you really think i keep anything of value in my wallet?

[Angel]

Apparently ruining everything is the wave of the future.
as long as it wasn't movie style popcorn, he can ruin whatever he wants.

That's what he gets for going to NYC. Come to Chicago that's where some of the best action is.
he's been to chicago and this'll be my 8th straight year.

[Slewo.O]

That's cute that you think that.

I find it cute you think I'd diss my home.


You really suck at reading.

And you suck at well um, well I'll find out what it is and come back later :surrend: I don't even know what you're referring to so no grief please.

There isn't anything I'd regret putting in my mouth is there?

[Angel]

not sure if you know, but the nyc boarders have a get together during chicago con every year. the board slows down a bit, because quite a few people go to chicago.

butter is a must.

[Flonk]

he's like 12, though. so, y'know....

THWIP's been drinking with us since he was like 8.

[Angel]

oh yes, it was movie style.



:?

bastard!!
:mad:

[Joe Kalicki]

I'm going to WWC and I'll be lucky to afford one drink there, depending on where everyone's drinking and if I'm invited.

[Slewo.O]

So what you're saying here is "I know Chicago sucks, but I can't say anything bad because I live here."

No that's not what I meant. You're having a bit of a spinning the wheels moment here.

I'm going to WWC and I'll be lucky to afford one drink there, depending on where everyone's drinking and if I'm invited.
you don't need no stinking invitation. just show up.

[Slewo.O]

not sure if you know, but the nyc boarders have a get together during chicago con every year. the board slows down a bit, because quite a few people go to chicago.

butter is a must.

Nope didn't know that. Well you kids have your Drinkup. Peace!

Unfortunately I'll be saddled with some non-Jinxworld posting friends who I have to drive to Joliet every night so my hours are not entirely my own, but I want to meet everyone for at least a while. I'm hoping I run across someone or someone calls me or something when I get there.

[Slewo.O]

Ruin.

I endorse this post. And Joe hopefully we'll run into each other good luck man!

My mistake.


So you live in Chicago proper, and not one of the surrounding suburbs, like say Rosemont?

I live in the suburbs Schaumburg specifically but I go there so many times monday-friday weeks I may as well live there.

That and I live in Chicago during the weekends proper so yeah.

Now that we've cleared that up, the healing can begin.

pat's usually at his table and bendis hasn't been to chicago since 2005. we kind of just end up together.

I like the karaoke idea, since it's something we always talk about but rarely ("Eye of the Tiger" night aside) get to do. We could just reserve a large 20-person room at a place like I-Bop, bring our own alcohol, and we also wouldn't have to worry about an underage/carded factor.

If we want to do karaoke, then we gotta do it at Japas 55. A bunch of friends and I did it a few weeks ago, the deal was $40 a head, and we got a large private room, unlimited beer and sake (sake bombs galore), and more food then we could finish. I don't recall anyone being carded.

It was, and there were flatscreens all over our room, and they had everything in karaoke.
The group of asian gentlemen in the room next to us screaming "STARFUCKERRRSSSS! STARFUCKERRRRSSSS!" over and over again were worth the price alone.

The deal was $40 for 9-12, but we had the option of adding $10 more to it to keep the room til 1, which we did. And I can tell you, we drank a lot.
