DJ: yeah, the logistics are kinda nightmarish to work with on such short notice. I thought you were arriving considerably earlier than you are to boot. There's always LA to go for clubbing as well.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #251 on:** July 08, 2013, 07:31:58 PM »

Nightmarish? Bah! That's what motels are for! We'll just commute back in the morning like Japanese businessmen.

* Jo'ou Ranbu fiddles.

If we do go, we may well do something a bit friendlier. There's a karaoke bar that's open until 2AM that seems pretty good in the Castro. The district seems to privilege bars over nightclubs, which is all well and good for me. I'll check about motels in the district as well - preferrably closeish to a BART station.

Caltrain is more likely to be useful to you, though it may be further away from where you plan to be. Caltrain gets you most directly back to South Bay, FYI. BART requires someone to make a 45 minute trip to the closest BART station; Caltrain is a 5-10 minute drive away.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #254 on:** July 08, 2013, 08:10:20 PM »

You could also do BART to Caltrain to Sunnyvale as well, pending on where you end up. I forget how many Caltrain stations there are, but I know one or two are right by BART stations.

Yeah, I mostly thought we'd need to BART to a Caltrain station at first.

EDIT: hey, during the week, Caltrain goes to Sunnyvale pretty much all day. This is good to know.

If you're staying in the City overnight, the transit isn't as much of an issue - Caltrain will definitely get you back down again, and close.

I need to know by the time we leave to pick up DJ, which should be ~7:30 tonight. We'll have a bit of time to figure it out before I/we take off to pick him -- and, now, bonus Archmage! -- up.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #257 on:** July 09, 2013, 12:56:10 AM »

My plan is to be outdoors-ready by the time you guys are picking up DJ. I'll go with you to the airport. If he needs primping, tough luck. <_< Not like karaoke needs much of a makeover anyway.

Shit, forget to say this.

I don't have extra controllers at my house.
Whoever is doing multi-player games, remember to bring cntrollers.

Lady Door · « **Reply #259 on:** July 09, 2013, 06:07:08 PM »

Between Andy, Laggy and Archmage, we have 4 PS3 controllers, I think.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #260 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:01:14 PM »

Along with my 2.

Lady Door · « **Reply #261 on:** July 11, 2013, 04:11:09 AM »

Down at the hotel, woo! Got my first ever speeding ticket. Far less woo. Especially when it's an 86 in a 65 (which is a LIE!). Ugh.

BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE / FOGO DE CHAO FOLKS:

Our reservation is for tomorrow at 12:30.

I have no recollection of who was planning to be there. So... yeah. We should figure that out. The reservation is for 8!

metroid composite · « **Reply #263 on:** July 11, 2013, 07:03:50 AM »

Caaaarunch! I have been averaging about 12-13 hours at work a day this week.

That said, hey've still cleared me for sat/sun of DLcon. But I might be smelly and my laundry won't be washed.

Laggy · « **Reply #264 on:** July 11, 2013, 09:08:57 AM »

Kappa, myself, and Brian are in, and Grefter has expressed interest to be in as well (I don't think he was on the original 8 though) for Fogo de Chao.

Also, heads up: unless it's a destination that I myself am going to and there's a spare seat, I won't be doing car chauffeuring down in LA. Please arrange transportation requests with the hosts.

Lady Door · « **Reply #265 on:** July 11, 2013, 05:04:36 PM »

Are you going to be here in time to do that? Maybe I should change the reservation to tomorrow.

##CHANGED RESERVATION!

Laggy just left, at 10:45 Thursday morning, so it's preeeeetty unlikely he'll be here for a 12:30 lunch. No one else told me who was planning on today, sooooo I moved the reservation to tomorrow at 12:30.

If you're going, please let me know so we can arrange how to get there!

...goddamnit

Missing this year, and probably the next 2 years, so stop having so much damn fun!

Laggy · « **Reply #267 on:** July 12, 2013, 04:20:37 PM »

Final head count of people going:

(12 people)
My car - myself, Brian, Grefter, Tonfa
Ashley's car - Ashley, Andy, Gate, Tallychu, DJ
Dhyer's car (Super driving) - Super, Nitori, Snow

The reservation is at 12:30pm today. Here is a link to the restaurant's location and address.

IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND I HAVE ONE SPOT LEFT IN MY CAR. Be present @ Niu's at 11:30 at the latest and I will take you along. Otherwise, consider this finalized.

Lady Door · « **Reply #268 on:** July 12, 2013, 11:51:42 PM »

Just for the record, it ended up including Dhyer and Tide. The bill came out to a delightful $700+. Much fun was had by all. Much, much meat was consumed.

Ok, I'll be driving up now; see you guys in an hour or two.
