While I can't actually see that happening among most of us, ananzi, that did put a rather amusing image in my head.

Wow Celkan, I'm glad you're not imagining yourself as being there.
Makes me feel about three times better about coming to one of these things.

(Yeah I know you said you were like 12 when trying to sign into the IA forums, yer a kiddo, Calder. Heh.)

Anyway, if we can get Momerath to post here, whenever he and I can get together for a beer will be the 1st Annual VO Convention somewhere in the Milwaukee area.

If he's up for it, we'll post the time and date. Show up if ya like.

heh, i'm close enough to milwaukee (its only a 14 hour drive, i've done that before when Gen-Con was held there) that if you give me enough notice I might be able to make it. :)

Ah. The young supple mind of genka. Little do you know. You want to be a physicist? I tell ya : physics conferences are similar to game conventions. You get together with your cliques, exchange barbs, talk shop, listen to boring talks by "authority figures", and generally be as unproductive as you can be.

Welcome to the world!

I'd be into doing a convention type thing, of some sort. I would also favor the summer-in-milwaukee type thing too.

I've always wanted to do a convention, but have put it off due to lack of funding and time and such.

Yes! I've got a Dev interested!

Score.

Softy, I don't want to be, and really, never wanted to be a physicist. Sure, a degree in physics would be nice, and a PhD would certainly make me happier, but really, what are your options in the world of physics? You either dive off into the deep end of the toilet and study the theology of modern theoretical physics or end up building bombs for the government. I'm don't have enough of an imagination for one and despise the second.

Please, next time you want to try and put me down, find something a wee bit more potent than the shortcomings of your own career; a career I honestly have no interest in.

HAHAHA! Nerf your car tires! That's classic.

Any way I would be up for one if it was some place in Texas... For that matter I got 10 acres...

Hitch hike, it's what all the soon to be molested kids do.

/me schemes how he can make this qualify as a firm event for the summer.

Wonder if there's an office near Milwaukee I could request a few weeks at...
Nov 26, 2005 Celkan link
If Lecter shows up I"ll bring some fava beans. Someone else will have to do the chianti as I'm underage :D

Heh Genka :). Don't feel cranky. Might not be too good for your blood pressure. After all, it's not that we take ourselves too seriously here anyway! You don't right?

D'arvit!

Find another event that would interest your parents to draw them to Milwaukee like SummerFest or the Harley Davison festival. Then say "While we're in the area mind if we go to the Research Park near the zoo?"
Nov 26, 2005 LeberMac link
Ha ha haa. Yeah. The Milwaukee County Grounds' research park. A signt not to be missed!
SEE the rusting giagantic water tower!
MARVEL at the old insane asylum that now houses a particular gaming company!
BE ASTOUNDED by the traffic on Watertown Plank Road!
I mentioned a Summerfest meet-up a while back, but (shockingly) many have never heard of Summerfest.

It wasn't an insane asylum, it was a tuberculosis asylum.
