Some of us were discussing the possibility of having a get together in the mountains, and having the theme be "EVIL DEAD". It would be less costly for all of us to do it this way because we would not have to worry about hotel expenses etc.

Please contact Dell[a] for any suggesstions or ideas.
and have a GROOOVY day!

um.. evil dead??? where on earth did this idea come from

mountains... any mountains? we might need more specific directions..

I am all for this! I love the idea of an EVIL DEAD type theme for the get together. I will bring the necronomicon! Mouser says 2010, but I think sooner should be arranged. Perhaps spring next year!

i don't mean to be a wet blanket but umm.. maybe the first DC gathering should not involve dressing up as monsters. and maybe it should be located someplace that can actually be reached without the aid of sherpas.

Dell[a] · « **Reply #4 on:** August 13, 2006, 07:22 PM »

Dont have to dress up as monsters....
and it wouldnt be in far away from civilization
I know a great spot to go.... Let me try and find a web site....
I know of cabins that are fully equipped and even have jacuzzi's in a place with pools and tennis and hiking etc etc

Josh · « **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2006, 07:51 PM »

Exactly, That can just be our theme. Get a cabin out in the woods like done in evil dead. Thats more what I think is meant by "Evil dead theme"

somehow work Cody into the plans too, wouldnt that be cool?

Josh · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2006, 08:25 PM »

Yes, mouser can dress up as cody for the get together!

housetier · « **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2006, 09:04 PM »

I hope it takes place, even though I won't be able to attend. It ought to be fun and productive.

Maybe us Yurrupee-ans should organize something like that too...

Since we live all over the world (mouser, can you get us that great visual you produced way back when?), I have an idea:

At least for the first DC convention, we could pick a date, each choose a mountain (or hill, if mountain not available) and go to it. There, we could commune (telepathically?) with others on the site. Maybe, just by coincidence, we would actually meet up with a nearby member. If not, we could each report back what we did and how much we all missed each other.

This might, at least, get us in the mood for the real thing.

Are you providing a return flight for us Aussie members? $:-\$

If so I'll can come.

Otherwise I know a great hill here in Australia I am willing to share with you.

Dell[a] · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2006, 01:08 AM »

ooooooooooooh I would love to go australia

Josh · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2006, 01:27 AM »

As would I! Sounds like a plan!

Gothi[c] · « **Reply #14 on:** August 14, 2006, 03:41 AM »

Does that mean I actually have to go OUTSIDE? and see PEOPLE? and be in DAYLIGHT?
aaaaargh

instead of having a get together - which is going to be a bit exclusive as many of us don't have access to a private jet plane - how about you/we have a 'webcam get together'.

this might be more in the spirit of DC - it requires the use of a computer.

i'm sure there is a challenge involved in getting it to work well - and i don't think we've had any reviews or discussion of webcam apps on the site yet(?)

those of us that are shy could wear a disguise or point the camera in a direction that is more suitable.

i like the idea of a real world gathering in 2010.
if we can make it that far and still all be friends it seems worth a real world trip.
so start saving now because i think we will make it

I really think the g2g should be held in Denmark. After all, that's geographically closest for everybody. *cough*.

The evil dead idea is cute though - and I'm sure somebody has the IRC logs.

I think there's a coding snack approaching ....
From a list of potential travellers, find a point on earth which
a. minimizes travelling and accomodation costs
b. maximizes pleasure (eg no one wants to go to new zealand, so that's a neg, etc etc)
c. affects any other parameters that can be dreamt up.
Just maybe, mouser's world cup program could be tweaked?

mouser · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:05 PM »

fantastic idea for a general tool

who wants to write this?

tsaint · « **Reply #20 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:09 PM »

I only suggested that cos I've access to a station (ranch for USA people) here in australia for free and thought I could win

nudone · « **Reply #21 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:23 PM »

rather than making it easy for a few people and generally more difficult for the others how about just making it difficult for everyone - say, have the gathering in an inflatable boat somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

momonan · « **Reply #22 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:32 PM »

I'm in for Australia -- whenever it is.

Opening a savings account TODAY, just in case.

Dell[a] · « **Reply #23 on:** August 14, 2006, 01:11 PM »

Yeah, I like the idea of having it somewhere in the middle of all of us. To cut costs, maybe some people can double up <car pool or something etc etc...Also, if u buy plane tickets in advance, they are usually cheaper....

tho, I dont wanna wait til 2010...I will have 10 kids by then, and harder to find a babysitter....
