Anyone in Seattle wanna meet up?

[Yoda]

So, like last year, I'm going to PAX West, which is held in Seattle, in early September. I think I already mentioned this the previous year to all the regulars from that area. But if not, or if there's anyone who couldn't make it last year, and/or if there any any newer folks who are and would want to meet, let me know.

The wife and I fly in on the 1st and leave on the 5th. I'm pretty tied up during normal business hours after the first day, but can definitely find some time most evenings to say hello and grab some food. :)

[Slappydavis]

Hey, I'll be in seattle at that time too!:yup:

[Yoda]

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

(For those who don't know, Slappy and I know each other from the SpyParty community, which is why we'll both be at PAX at the same time.)

[Yoda]

Bump.

I'm leaving Thursday morning. I assume I've already talked to anyone who's interested in meeting up, but last chance in case anyone didn't see it. As it stands I'll be meeting Slappy, and I'll be going to a Mariners game on Sunday with Powdered Water, who I met last year.

Also, this is a general notice that I'll be away from Thursday-Monday, so please be chill and nice to the moderators while I'm gone! :)

Oy! Please say hi to Chris for me! I really miss him around here. He was my first bud :)

[Yoda]

Will do. :) Should get some better pictures than the one from last year (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?anchor=1&p=1377899#post1377899).

[Yoda]

Bump! Amazingly, I'm going again. Be there around Labor Day weekend, so if any of you Seattle people (or people near-ish Seattle) wanna get lunch or something, let me know.

I legitimately have no idea how much time I'll have, so I can't commit to anything just yet, but good chance I can squeeze something in to hang out with MoFos.

[ash_is_the_gal]

we should have a general thread like this for Mofos to post in - like call it the Mofo Travel Meet Up Thread or something, and whenever you're going to be traveling somewhere you could come in here and be like, hey, i'm gonna be in this city on these dates, anyone in that area wanna meet up?

anyway no i live in the opposite of Seattle unfortunately

[rauldc14]

I'm going to be in Wisconsin between Milwaukee and Green Bay for a long time if anyone wants to meet up and talk Mofo.

[Dani8]

Oh. Yoda, please get some sneaky photos for me.

What's labor day?

[Chypmunk]

What's labor day?
It's the first Monday of September and is generally the day that most births are recorded in the US each year.

*I just might have made that last bit up

Is it a day off work too, like our Bank Holiday?

[Chypmunk]

Is it a day off work too, like our Bank Holiday?
Yep, it's a public holiday. Midwives tend to have to work it though ;)

Me too no doubt! 😁

[Chypmunk]

Me too no doubt! 😁
Maybe you could ask to work in Americky that day ..... a cultural job-swap with someone for a day or something like that .... then you could have the day off too ;)

I'd best not post any more in this thread or Yods annual desperate plea for a friend might get shuffled off the current page :)

It would have to be something i'm good at though! 😁

[Yoda]

Last bump for this, just in case anyone didn't see it. It might be a busier year than usual, but if it's at all possible to meet any MoFos, I'll try to find a way to make it happen. Little over a month away.

[Yoda]

Leavin' on a jet plane tomorrow. Be nice, everyone. I've given the moderators instructions to shoot on site.

[Dannii]

I'll be good but i can't speak for spooky! 😁

Have them shoot on sight instead. Shooting on the site is liable to get messy around here.

[Austruck]

How long are you gonna keep messing with the non-Americans in here? :D :D :D

It's a day to celebrate the work force ("labor"), and has nothing to do with midwives or birthing. Except perhaps by coincidence. :)

Sorry. Proofreader. I've seen this mistake SO many times that I assumed the worst. :D

Especially from the guy who still doesn't always get "its" and "it's" correct. ;)

[Camo]

Have a good time!

[Yoda]

As someone who's been building sites for two-thirds of his life, that's not a mistake I'd ever make. I did worry if the joke might be too subtle, though.

Re: it's/its. It is always, always, always a typographical error, rather than a grammatical one. I'm going to stop explaining this because you seem not to believe me. :p

[Chypmunk]

Yoda - when are you back?
Just want to know when it might be safe for me to log back on ;)

[Yoda]

I get back Tuesday night. I'm back to a normal schedule on Thursday.

I'll actually be able to log on pretty much every day, but it'll mostly just be to check in and see if anything important needs doing.

[Dani8]

That gives me a bit of a tingle. Which mods? I'll place a bullseye on my left peach.

Bon voyage, Yods.

Don't take it personally. I don't believe anybody who says that. ;)

🍿 I like it when the spelling and grammar nazi spanks his lil green butt.

Too bad there's no nanny cam so you can see all the naughty things we plan to do while you're away. :D

By the way, "THAT'S" needs an apostrophe in that graphic.

Hope you're all settled in there in Seattle!

[Yoda]

Hey, I didn't make it.

[Austruck]

Hey, I didn't make it.

Thanks for letting me know, smartass.

[Austruck]

Yoda! Obduction has a booth at PAX! Go see Ryan Warzecha, one of the minds behind Obduction!! I wonder if Rand Miller is there... Get a picture of their booth for me! And take lots of pictures of SpyParty stuff too!

Gee you're bossy!
How's the weather in Seattle?

[Austruck]

Ha! :D Well, I meant it as an exciting thing. Yoda and I are both big Myst game/Cyan Worlds/Obduction fans. If I were out there, I'd totally want someone to tell me there was an Obduction/Myst booth at PAX!

Yoda will have to answer about the weather. I'm 3,000 miles away. The weather here in Pittsburgh is marvelous. A cool 67° F. here!

[Dani8]

11C here.

When we were in Turkey we became friends with an american woman from Seattle. OMG she would not stop talking about the place. Everything was bigger and better in Seattle. She thought it was the best city in the world so made me wonder why she'd beenliving in Mexico for 20 years.

Wait, what?? I've been practically obsessed with Myst/Riven forever. I never even knew there was Obduction. Is it good? I stopped playing Myst/Riven after they quit supporting Mac OS X. There were some emulators but it was a bit cumbersome. I'll have to check if they have more support now. I would love to replay some of those games.

[Dani8]

Looks like you're having nice weather in Seattle.

[Austruck]

It's a new Cyan game! Well, it came out in August 2016, so "new" but not brand new.

It's not set in the Myst universe, but DEFINITELY has the same glorious feel as their other games that we love. Steam has it, and GOG too, I think. GET IT!

And honestly? Now I'm envious that you get to experience Obduction for the first time. There's nothing quite like the first time you enter a Cyan Worlds game.

[Yoda]

Bump again.

I'm leaving for Seattle tomorrow, will be there in the afternoon, and won't leave until Tuesday. I also have less time in the booth at PAX than in years past, so if you're around and wanna grab lunch I might be able to make it work.
