If you need directions to my house pm me your email address; I'll be sending out a few mass emails with driving instructions, phone numbers, etc. I'll keep a list here in this topic of people that have directions and people that still need directions, so no one is forgotten.
Just a reminder, the meet will be held over three days - July 18th (Friday) to July 20th (Sunday). You're welcome to show up anytime on the Friday and you can go back anytime on the Sunday. Our main day of activities (beach trip, etc) will be on the Saturday.
Things to Bring:
Pillow
Sleeping Bag or something to use for covers (it'll be pretty warm weather)
Swim Suit
Cash (for food)
Alcohol (we have a liquor store and a beer store just down the road from my place so you could get your stuff there if you want)
Sunscreen (Sun Tan Lotion/whatever you call it)
Things We'll Need (updated):
(this list will be updated as I think of things and I'll cross out entries or something when things are confirmed as being brought)
One cooler for the beach (for sandwiches)
Let me know if I've forgotten anything from those two lists or if I've forgotten anything in general.
People that are confirmed:
Izekeal
Hybridzero
Jeff
Ash
Sarevok
Mamamack
pseudo-emo
Bart
Bartbro
Ramiette
Dudesoft
People that need/have directions or are unconfirmed:
Cliff
Moriason
People yet to reply:

2. make a sharp left onto Canada Road 6000mi
Post by: Bart on June 19, 2008, 07:13:24 pm
My brother and I are confirmed. My girlfriend wants to go but it'll be hard for her to take a Saturday off in July
Does anyone near the Waterloo, Kitchener area need a drive? If Moriason is coming, I assume he needs a drive?
this will be quite the pasty white sausage fest at the beach imo

I might come but I'm not sure if I'll be able to because Waterloo's student life 101 is on the 19th or something to come check out residences. Bart I'm guessing you go to UW? Do you know if this is worth going to or what (I'll see you in waterloo next year :P)
No I am done school but I live in Kitchener and work in Waterloo so PERHAPS we will cross paths one day as I tend to go out to various geek-ish outings in the town
Directions from Toronto: Take the 401 from Toronto to London and uh, go to his house when he tells us the address!
Also the meets are generally PRETTY FUN. They get more enjoyable as the night goes on because I think initially a lot of people are nervous and don't know how to act and then they loosen up. I'm fine regardless as I've been to almost all of them and I am just naturally A-OK with strangers and new people
Post by: Izekeal on June 20, 2008, 05:57:28 am
oh god oh god oh god i need directions from london, uk to london, ontario HELP TIME IS RUNNING OUT
Jump in the Thames and start swimming; it eventually crosses over into the Thames here in London, Ontario. I'll come fish you out near Springbank Park as it's a short walk from where I live.
Edit: I'll keep updating the list of confirmed people as they post in this topic. It sounds like most everyone from the other topic is in, though.

Okay I probably can't go for the entire weekend anymore but I'm pretty sure I can make it for the Saturday at the beach. That might be weird though as I'm sure the beach would be crowded and I wouldn't really know what to look for...
We won't be leaving for the beach until noon or so. If you can make it to London before then you'd be able to carpool with us.

I will pick you up, dude. I also don't have a problem heading up to Toronto to pick people up if needs be, just let me know.
So, I've got a sitter from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon so I guess I'm up there ALL WEEKEND.
By the way, does anyone mind if I bring my brother? I promised him one final HURRAH weekend before baby comes and I think he'd fit right in with us.
EDIT: I can't find anyone's directions. Izekeal and dX, you have to tell me where you live again please.

PS: Wash Cycle, if you're serious dude I know the area you're coming from. I'll pull together directions for you to Highway 401 and Izekeal can take it from there. Google maps and such is great but it's better if you get directions from someone who has actually travelled the roads.

I've been to (hosted) a lot of London ENGLAND meets, but I've never been to canada to meet GW people.ah yah ok. awesome
then I for sure need to make it down there. Sucks cause the meet is on the opening night of Dark Knight and I really want to go see the midnight showing (Or a Saturday show but that's the meet) .. any of you dudes up for a late movie or am I watching it on Friday @ 12am before the meet?
edit: NEVERMIND Dark knight midnight show is on Thursday night, not Friday. All is well

Post by: Bart on July 04, 2008, 06:51:51 pm
We're going to Port Stanley on Lake Erie. It's about 40 minutes away. It would be a lot easier if you could make it down sometime on the friday as that way we'll all be here and can leave together for the beach on the saturday.
Yah but if I can't there's no problem meeting you guys early at your house then driving to the beach?
I would like to go on Friday/Saturday but I am unsure yet, but that could be a fun night of mini-party before the beach night. We'll see!

Anyway, I'm pretty well up for anything we want to do and my brother is flexible about this stuff, too. I wanted to see Dark Knight anyway (Christian Bale = :love:) so if we see a movie then that makes me happy.
Edit: What the hell is a 'flower boy' and why am I one???
Post by: Sarevok on July 04, 2008, 07:40:40 pm

Post by: Izekeal on July 04, 2008, 08:53:33 pm
Bart you can show up early on Saturday if you have to, that's cool. I think we'll be leaving sometime between 11am and 12 noon. So if you could shoot to be here before eleven then that'd be fine.
As for people driving to the beach we'll have to figure that out when we know how many people are here. I think we'll need three cars in the end but we'll have to see. It might be possible with two.
If you can come down for the friday we could all go see Dark Knight. There's a movie theatre a four minute walk from my house so that wouldn't be a problem. Or, we could see it anyways if, say, you end up seeing it earlier.
Edit: For now, it looks like two cars will be enough. I'll get some directions written up and hopefully HZ can go to the beach with us because then he can ride in one car and I'll go in the other. It's pretty easy driving to get to the beach and it's not too far away.
Post by: Bart on July 04, 2008, 08:57:13 pm
Either way, I'll see and know for sure before the meet so that way we know how many people wanna go see Dark Knight because seeing a movie with a bunch of GW'ers could either be pretty fun or really annoying!

Most everyone will be there for saturday night as well. We'll be hanging out after the beach and then going to see Dark Knight after supper. Beyond that we'll just be doing stuff here at my place. There'll be spots for people to sleep, mostly on the main floor plus on the floor in my room.

Ah ok that's cool. I guess the best thing to do is just like all meets, do it as it goes. That way we are not feeling CONSTRICTED by some schedule. Anyways, I should be leaving town by the latest 10am so looks like I should be there for 11am. Taylor, the phone number you provided .. is it a cell? As in, will you be around to answer it incase I get lost?

I should still be able to come assuming nothing pops up unexpectedly. I'll be coming with my boyfriend Tim and we'll be coming on the Saturday, probably around 11 like Bart.
Sweet, I hope you come! It's always awesome when new people come to the meets as they are very fun if you loosen up and don't act all honky donky (then we just make fun of you)

Sorry guys I can't make it this weekend, my dog is going for his neutering on Friday and we need to pick him up on Saturday after 12 (something to do with his meds and stuff) but before 4 (this is when they close).

Are all of you staying for Saturday day/night?
Yes, we'll all be here on Saturday. One of my friends asked if he could come to the beach with us. He doesn't get off work until about 1pm and it takes him ten minutes to walk here from his job so we'll be leaving when he arrives. That's good if you can be here early (11am or so) as it'll ensure that we get everything worked out before we go.

So, we're chilling out watching one of Izekeal's roommates pay Dead Rising which is infinitely entertaining, my brother has some youtube video going that seems to be greatly amusing and we're working our way through some rather interesting drinks. I tried to make magic pudding but I put too much Kahlua in it so now it's the consistency of chocolate syrup. There's talk of putting it on ice cream. I've started round two of the pudding in the hopes that it sets. We will get back to you to let you know how that turns out.

Jeff here when we first got to the beach. He wound up digging a hole that was easily 4 feet deep.

OK, so I'm a bit nervous about people on the internets seeing me in my bathing suit. Dudesoft attempted a really manly pose to cover up the worst of it and all he succeeded in doing was getting caught in a really neat pose. From left to right is Jeff, dX's buddy, Bart, Izekeal's roommate, Dudesoft (in front), Mamamack and Sarevok.

Sarevok got so tuckered out that he decide it was a good idea to lay down on the beach and have a nap.

Shortly after that picture was taken we all ate, and then the wind kicked up, the beach closed and it poured. We went for ice cream and Sarevok and Dudesoft got these ridiculously huge sundaes that made me ill just looking at them. And this is coming from the woman who had two ice cream cones. My brother had pumpkin flavoured ice cream which he said tasted good. Now we're playing SSBB and some of us are talking of heading outside. Our movie doesn't start for about four hours so we've got time to kill.
Anyone got suggestions to pass the time???

Anyway, I apologize for yet again having to miss the majority of a meet, but I think you'll all agree that I had a very good reason. It was cool to meet Jeff, Sarevok and DX, as well as all the other people who showed up. Hope you're having a good night!

ohhhh dude gross. was it seriously on mamamack? one time when i was younger i slept on a bunk bed with my brother and i was on top and one night i just leaned over and threw up all over without even thinking about it, but you're a little old for that i think!
Yeah, it seriously was. Fortunately, most of it landed on the floor. I was three quarters of the way asleep so I didn't have the emotional wits to get as truly pissed off as I should have. But, it's all right. dX seriously can't remember it.
I guess my brother all but gassed the GW meet to death. :fogetcry: He just makes me so proud.
Pictures to come later when I have my faculties back.
EDIT: Izekeal's roomie just woke up and we asked him if he woke up during all of the excitement yesterday. He said no so we informed him that dX threw up on me. His respose? "Of well, as long as it's cleaned up." Fucking deadpan serious. It was great.

Mamamack for being the bestest person ever and catering WAY too much to us nerds. Also I have a love-hate relationship now with your brother. He's fun, but TOO MUCH GODAMN FARTING!
also thanks to Sarevok and Jeff for coming this far to hang out with a bunch of nerds. You guys are awesome.
Dudesoft and Ken, was interesting to meet you (man you are weird)
and never forget...dragonx, the polak of polaks. Also your friend Jason was a cool dude despite how much hate you seemed to have shown for him

I've always wanted to know, when you're all at a meet, sitting there with laptops and shit at some stage, do you all browse GW and then one of you goes like "Hey, hey hey go to P9/11, look at the post I just made HAH!"
things like this happened a lot at this meet. it's scary.
i think atleast 5 people brought their laptops
the most common thing in that relation is this scenario:
1) someone does something funny, stupid, or crazy
2) someone yells out "omg guys im posting this on gw right now!"
i am sure I heard that exact scenario atleast twice this weekend

the only thing sadder than browsing GW together would be if you all got on irc...
hahah the best part is at one point later in the night I think about 3 people were all on IRC. I remember commenting on it

That looks like a heap of fun. I've only met people off the internet a few times (mostly people off Aussie hip hop sites at gigs) and it's awesome in how awkward and surreal it is.If I ever happen to be in Melbourne we'll have a meet. We can listen to tracks lamenting the poor decisions of John Howard together.

Seriously, it wasn't that big a deal. My clothes came clean, none of it touched my skin, it's all good. In all honesty, it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't have downed a bunch of tequila and passed out on the kitchen/dining room floor. It was as much my fault for being in the way as it was his for hurling. It's not the first time I've been puked on and I highly doubt it'll be the last.
I know that Jeff has videos on his laptop and I have one or two on my camera still. Once I figure out where to upload said videos I will be more than happy to show off the pasty white geekiness that was GW Canada.

Christo/Meta/Helter - PM me if you're ever in Melbourne and we can work something out! I can bring a few friends and we can do something so it's not like three/four internet people awkwardly standing around.
I doubt we'd all be there at the same time, but I guess when I have a holiday coming up I'll talk to christo about it and we'll try and get something happening...
Also we can't forget Adeline, someone smuggle him in.
