Witty, insightful and true. That's why people don't make fun of me every time I post. Plus, proper use of written english goes a long way as well.

prices on rooms will be high that weekend due to the NHRA drag races being in town.

Welcome JACKASS!

Kadie · Post by **Kadie** » January 20, 2004, 3:07 am

Droggy's not swedish!

I am currently of the "I'm still deciding" standpoint of going to the Fan Faire this year. But something tells me that if I go, I may be the only sober one there. I'll make sure to bring my camera so I can take lots of blackmailing pics (JK!!!)

. (No, it's not that I'm under 21, it's that I don't drink much!)

Yes, Pyr and Lali, if I come, the cookies will come with (even if I don't, they'll be sent to someone to bring with). Cookies and brownies are on my baking list this year

. Make requests if you like, but I make no promises!

BTW, is the $134 for the hotel per person or per room?

The little woodelf ranger,

Yay Kadie! And we didn't *steal* the whole bag, Sarge kinda left it at the table, we took it back to our room for safekeeping, but unfortunately didn't meet up with him again before we left.

And the price is for the room..usually covers 2-4 people in most cases. Whatever you do, don't tell them you plan on having eleventy billion people share it with you!

No calling camps from across the zone. You of all people should understand that Sarge. First in force.

If it was March i'd register now, but with this happening in April the chance of me staying in the US to go to it have diminished greatly

I don't want to miss the FF. But if I get the job back home in Aussie I will be asked that I return promptly to start, since i've been here since November already.

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » January 21, 2004, 9:45 am

Looks like I'll be there. I'll be passing on the FF part due to conferences I must attend for work, but I will be there that weekend! Who's buyen'?

Truant · Post by **Truant** » January 21, 2004, 3:37 pm

Kadie, iirc that $134 is for 1 room up to two people I believe. Each person after that will be an additional x amount of dollars. There are obvious ways around this additional charge however.

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » January 21, 2004, 4:03 pm

That's a touchy situation right now Kindo...it is sorta on company dime, sorta on my dime...but with Fan Faire at the same time, it is worth it! Can't wait to meet some peeps

Kindo · Post by **Kindo** » January 22, 2004, 10:11 am

I know, I was just teasin

I just got a coporate AmEx and am terrified to use it lol.

So I was thinkin', we got any special "treats" planned for Saiphos yet? At the very least, he needs the crown to go with his VV title.

Vannoth · Post by **Vannoth** » January 22, 2004, 1:31 pm

That would rule.

I could wear it around the office.

I'll definitely have one or two special "treats" for him at Fan Faire.

Update:

http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/eq-f ... 01392.html

to summarize - looks like Rio fell through and Vannoth/Saiphos trying for Hilton.

Can we get a YAY QUARKS??

While Rio sounded sweet - Quarks was our home

Will be nice getting back.

For the Star Trek fans, looks like the Star Trek Experience will have a new attraction running starting in March...the BORG.

Hehe, my friends make fun of me for going to the "nerd convention" and they were giving me shit about going to the star trek bar. I was like "it's at a different place this year, we won't be at the star trek bar!!!"

Oh, well, screw them. They're just jealous. Quark's is the shit, I wish I had some dry ice at home so I could make a Warp Core to tide me over until april.

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » January 23, 2004, 1:19 pm

Dry Ice in your area? Is it possible? It is! Voila!

Vannoth · Post by **Vannoth** » January 23, 2004, 1:41 pm

I have yet to experience the joy that is the warp-core.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » January 23, 2004, 1:43 pm

no bullshit, is the Warp Core Breach a chick drink or not?

i'm just skeptical that the dry ice is a gimmick to make you forget you just paid $10 for a drink w/o enough hooch in it.

Sylvos · Post by **Sylvos** » January 23, 2004, 1:48 pm

Warp Core Breach is a fishbowl (large) sized rum drunk that if you drink 1, you're good to go for a while.
Generally they are shared, much like the James Tea Kirk, but the amount of alcohol you will most likely imbue will be enough to kill a small etheopian village.

Kinda bummed, i was excited about the Rio. But the Hilton works^^

Post by **Sylvus** » January 23, 2004, 1:51 pm

From what I can remember, which is little, it packed a punch. I'm a big alcoholic, and it gets my seal of approval.

I truly, truly apologize from the bottom of my heart for that visual pun. I'm quite embarassed, but I had to do it. It is friday after all.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » January 23, 2004, 1:55 pm

Oh no - that IS a crime! Will have to remedy that asap.

On a side note - is there any way that you can convince quarks to either stay open later, get more wait staff while we are there, all of the above, etc?

Sylvos · Post by **Sylvos** » January 23, 2004, 1:55 pm

haha that owns nice pic sylvUs
I think i'll make that my wallpaper at work.
oh and its not a chick drink^^

James Tea Kirk's are not for sharing!! They are reserved for me to hog. (Two of these before the saturday dinner had me nice and toasted)

Last year when Sylvos and I got in on Wednesday night, we had 30 minutes til closing time at Quarks to chug a Warp Core (Thess and Rianna were on their 2nd or 3rd and were might happy company!!) - It went right to our heads. Warp cores are good times!!

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » January 23, 2004, 2:05 pm

i'm not sharing a drink with any of you nancy boys!!

Spankes · Post by **Spankes** » January 23, 2004, 2:07 pm

Was in Vegas last weekend and Quark's closed at 10...it made me cry.

(T-T)

Dregor Thule · Post by **Dregor Thule** » January 23, 2004, 2:21 pm

That's why you hit the club when Quark's closes. I'm trying to persuade Saiphos to get WCB made into an in-game recipe :/

Taly · Post by **Taly** » January 23, 2004, 6:14 pm

Was going to go but priorities have changed, have a wedding to plan so FF this year is gonna be out for me =). hopfully there will be another in vegas next year =)

Truant · Post by **Truant** » January 23, 2004, 7:01 pm

IIRC the Warp Core Breach was 5 different rums, and a splash of fruit punch. A nice deep red color.

the James Tea Kirk was your basic Long Island, a funny blue color.

You can order them in individual servings...but who the fuck wants to do that.

Even better, its 25 bux for the mans version.

noel · Post by **noel** » January 24, 2004, 4:51 am

While you're at it Vannoth, please see if you can get Quarks to have more than say... 10 of the giant fishbowls on hand at any given moment.

Already on it.

I'm also working on seeing if we can have those served during the dinners, not just in quarks.

The Holy Rings of Betazed or whatever, though not a drink, were pretty tasty too.

Vannoth update us on Quarks!

Seebs · Post by **Seebs** » January 27, 2004, 4:32 pm

okay if this is really happening .. do we have an itenary or a special word to use to get the room rate?

I want to vomit in front of people I only know from Avatars and pixels ... this is my chance!

Vannoth · Post by **Vannoth** » January 27, 2004, 4:32 pm

Contract is being routed for approval to the executives. Should be buttoned up by the end of the week.

I'm going to notify them to have more fishbowls on hand.

iirc, last year there were a couple variations of the "secret password", but in the end you just needed to communicate to them that you were there for the "Sony" "Everquest" "Fan Fair" and they knew what you were talking about and would hook you up accordingly. I'm not sure which of those words was the right one, but it was enough.

Arborealus · Post by **Arborealus** » January 27, 2004, 6:06 pm

WTF I had to say "Vannoth Pwns" 3 times and make the official VV secret handsign!
