ReplacementCon 2015 Oct 1-4, Sheraton Detroit Metro Airport - The Salty Run-Back

We tried to sell Fmaq, but he doesn't love us.

Fedora has to make too many pizza's to come. The barn needs him.

Fedora, can you send some barn bread on the bus so that Mono can pick it up?

It was worth one last shot.
If I have a S&T at my house would you come Fedora? Our new house is big enough I can host really well so I was thinking about it but am not sure there is a strong group to come to one in Syracuse.

I'll fly to syracuse if you can guarantee me some tasty barn bread.

Probably could, it's only like 3 and a half hours drive from me.

I see something forming here. But you should check rates to Syracuse before you commit as it is mostly a dead airport.

This is a running joke where i try to get fmaq to ship me barn bread. So far he has refused.

For people not in the slack channel: The hotel had an opportunity to get a big casino night/moneymaker on short notice, but to do so they need to kick us out of our ballroom and move us to a smaller space. To agree to this I had them comp us for our troubles and now we're in the black for the event. No hat passing. We're going to find something good to do with the money, leaning towards using it this year (going out for food?) instead of rolling it towards next year--which we may or may not do at a hotel again.

Yay!

How much smaller? I do think that the space was too big last year, but things can get crowded / hot quickly.

They said not much smaller, possibly able to open up a separated (geographically) room. We can make up for it with outings to get pizza and soforth, hope that's okay with everyone. Executive decision

I think this is wonderful and ending up in the black is worth a little inconvenience Friday.

Do you guys have any desire to do a console game swap? I have a bunch of 360/xbo games that I am just sitting on, waiting for a good trade in deal.

1 MORE DAY

ALMOST 1/2 OF A DAY!

packed.

I'm headed over tomorrow. I'm going to try to get out of here by 1pm central to try to beat rush hour traffic in Chicago.

Rough ETA is 8-9pm ET. I'll update the slack once doak adds me

I invited you, Phish.

Got it, thanks! See y'all tomorrow.

Any that I might need?

Wish I were able to come, and am actually on vacation, but have to get my wife ready for me to be in Ohio for two weeks for my new job, and also probably shouldn't have my first day directly after a four-day drinking binge.

Maybe next year.

The car is packed and everything is ready. Now I just have to wait for my wife to get my son from preschool and eat lunch then I am out. My guess is I should be there around 7-8pm if the border crossings go smoothly.

For all the lurkers and yet to come:

We had a blast yesterday!

Boogle's punch was palatable and pleasing, Mono, Doak, and I nearly murdered each other playing chopstick game, Codenames is already game of the show ("Turkey is the bottom of Europe!"), and Cube beat me at Chaos in the Old World on the thinnest of tiebreakers.

Everyone: get here soon!

If you're not in the slack, please let us know if you're coming to dinner tonight. We already have the following RSVPs:
Toph
Phish
Esch
Gaine
Cube
Obi
Carrot
Heather
Boog
Oily
Cpt
Noah
Dan
Will
Michael

Add Sally to list!

What time is dinner? I'm heading out in about 30 min, so I should arrive at about 5 p.m. I'm in if you guys aren't eating at senior citizen time.

On ground now. ETA to Nasty = t-minus 30 min-ish.

So apparently quarter to seven is earlier than 6:45 in Michigan.

Srunk Sally forgot to set his watch forward.
