We should all meet up in New Orleans next year.
I believe I've mentioned this before, but it sounds even nicer now.
I like food and booze and they have that there.
Also, it's not here.
Who's in?
I might be in New Orleans in June, because EFO may have a choir performance there.
the weather is nice in June :)
I would love to go back to N'Awlins. I was there about 2 months before Katrina hit. I don't know what bug crawled up my arse to see that place at that particular time, but I am so glad I gave into it and went.
Halloween. New Orleans. Just saying.
I've always wanted to visit New Orleans, and meeting Discordians would be a pretty good excuse. Verthaine has an actual Discordian temple there, we could even go to sunday mass!
but there'd have to be some real shifts in my financial situation to afford a vacation next year

OOooOOoooOoOoooh
that place is pretty creepy on an
average day.
My aunt lives there, it's where she bases her successful professional dominatrix studio.
Idem lives in Louisiana, afaik.
WE'RE COMING TO GET YUO, IDEM!! :hashishim:

I've been several times for Halloween. It's pretty awesome.
Wow.
There are quite a few brew pubs with shit I'll actually drink.

I want to visit anywhere!! VERMONT SOUNDS NICE! I hear they have snow!
snow :cry:
Hell I'd even like to see RI.
I hate this flat ass, no weather changin, toothless hick, po dunk, redneck, bad drivin, touristy, overrated piece of shit state.
But at least I have my one little brew pub where they serve good beer and the people are nice.
We actually have a couple really good brewpubs in Providence. Trinity Brewhouse and Union Station (which is a John Harvard's...)
I guess to visit Rhode Island isn't bad...Just everything of note shuts down for the winter. No frozen lemonade, no chowder shacks, but on the plus side, angry Connecticut and New York tourists aren't around.
fine by me.
i hate chowder and have had my fair share of frozen lemonade, lemon ice, lemonade, italian ice, sweet shaved ice, blah blah blah, all that shit that melts and makes you sticky before you even get in the car...
:lmnuendo: huh huh... sticky
In the winter we're pretty much overrun by college students, most of them too privileged for their own good, but heck, they stay out of the way.
one day I'll come to America and then you guys will all be there right? (just tell me where to go :) )
maybe next year somewhere, my gf really wants to go visit the USA.
and for some reason, with the entire world circling down the economic drain, your country doesn't seem that creepy anymore.

We'll fix
THAT!.
Come to the high desert, Trip. We're the only normal people here.
Maybe I'll take a trip to see YOU, and I can track down BEARFORCE1.

I believe our creepiness is only exponential to the amount of places you visit. The more you visit, the creepier we become. Etc. But, on the other hand, it's also very easy to fall in love with said creepiness.
Consider yourself forewarned.

Because every place that Gaiman wrote about actually exists.
I was gonna say you should go to Disney as a joke
and then my gut started hurting from laughing
and then I pictured 000's face with mickey ears and it hurt even worse
then the sad and terrifiedness of him and his gf at the park with all the smelly tourists and bad animatronic doo dads
and now I just feel bad.
and dirty.

As well you should. I feel fucking filthy just reading that.

I do want to see desert, cause, we don't got them (yet) and I hear they're kinda pretty if you don't stick around for too long. I don't really like heat, but then, dry heat is probably not as bad as the steamy sweats we get in summer.

What's BEARFORCE1? Sounds like a gay club? Anyway, with my rebuilt place I can probably host two people comfortably (and more, less comfortably), and with advance warning you're welcome :)

Well I definitely gotta see and visit a few of those weird road shrines. But from what I hear from others who went to the USA there's enough weirdness to go around.
Also, aren't those American Gods places all over the fucking country? Like how long would such a trip take?

Well I already seen Disneyland Paris when I was a kid, I don't really think it'll have much added value, even though it's the original and shit. Also Disney kind of got a bad taste for me now I know what they are.
But if anyone is ever in NL, they should try to visit the Efteling. It's beautiful, simply beautiful, also for grownups. It's not in (or even near) Amsterdam, though, and I know you Amerispags never set a foot outside that city when coming to NL (it's a pretty city, but, like, everybody goes there and half the people on the street speak english).
If I move to Burlington I can see myself going to Montreal a lot. Just so I can have the sensation of being in a foreign country without having to deal with the fact that it's really just Canada.

Montreal isn't in Canada, it's in France Junior.

Quebec can go fuck itself. They don't get to be it's own country just because they speak another language. If that were the case, we have ousted Miami and most of the Southwest a long time ago.

It's not so much that they want to leave, as everyone else wants them to go.
I thought that they wanted to leave, and the rest of Canada gave them the finger and told to sit back down and shut up?

Only because of the Meach Lake Accord arrangement.
Also, because it does the rest of Canada good to tell the froggies "no". Just because it's what they want.
But having grown up in Canada, let me assure you that nobody wants them, and we'd rather they left and hooked up with Greenland or someone.

What's BEARFORCE1?
The answer to your question, and your dreams. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twQlpFrm5iM)
I would have liked it better if it had slightly less trance synths and more cheesy disco pop, but that's what you get in this decade, I suppose. Still, it's AEWSOEM.
So this is the first time I've been on a computer with speakers in like 3 days, so I finally clicked a BEARFORCE1 link...
...I am in tears of some kind of emotion that I can't quite describe.
I, for one, welcome our new Hairy Fat Gay Overlords.
