Michiganders are lame and lazy.

I know there are more of you than just Azu.

Get off your jobless asses and meet.

I'm in Michigan.

I have a job!

Michigander reporting in.

I'm pretty sure the bold part is illegal in Michigan.

Double digit unemployment?

No thanks.

I never said it was a good job...

i'm from michigan but i live in nashville now. GTFO of there.

I lived in Northern MI for about four years and at that time it seems like a lot of Michiganders played. I don't know about anymore, I got to the South where winter doesn't last 11 months. Katalyst, is it true you had a Krystal?

I'm in Michigan, near the Grand Rapids area.

Kalamazoo. I'm down for a meet wherever

Seriously? Where in GR?
I'm over by 60th Street.

Oh, and if you Michiganders want a meet, lemme know where to go and I'll totally be there.

Unless it's by like Calumet or Traverse City. I'd like to remain within ~1-2 hours drive.

Oh and @Mathonwy, Oh come on, upwards of 16% isn't bad! It's like a lot of people taking a lot of long vacations!

I told someone I'm from Michigan. Her question, without hesitation, was "I've heard there are a lot of gangsters in Michigan. Is that true?"

Gentlemen, we've been found out.

oH SHI- run.

I say we all meet up in royal oak, outside of the OOC campus on the corner of Main Street and Lincon

How about Lansing. Would allow me to not have to drive 2hr 20 minutes.

it really depends on where in michigan you're from. I am from saginaw, lived in flint then moved to detroit for college.

ovid lives in happy michigan.

yes, it's true I had a krystal and enjoyed it. so sue me.

hahahahaha

I love the D, myself. Not from there, but love it.

@Mathonwy:

fosho
Michigan OG

I'm in NW Grand Rapids myself, but I doubt any of you know me. Still, I might show up at a meet. You never know.

*stares at your avatar for hours*

You -ing son of a bitch

Such language.

You must be one of those Michigan gangsters I hear so much about.

Lol, no I've just never been Rick Roll'd before



Until now you -

I love that song. I like the version in Rynn's sig best though.

Trust me, I sympathize. Last time I logged on here was... five years ago? I had forgotten about it, and I also stared at it for hours. Still kinda am really.

does Windsor count? its right across from Detroit and I go there enough to basically be considered a resident.

It's a shame that I don't live in Michigan anymore. The few meets I attended there, and the people I met, were absolutely phenomenal. I hope you all have fun, if you get something organized!

(As a side note, Great Lakes Crossing and Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor are both good gathering locations, from personal experience! The RenFest is also particularly enjoyable, especially if you're in the mood for pseudo-Achaean activities in real life.)

RL jousting contest?

You're just asking for trouble now. Trouble I fully support.

This.

@Azu:
That actually wasn't meant as a rick-roll, I was making a statement about the validity of Michigan gangsters.

Bump

When and where people?? When and where!?

Also Indrani, as my favorite Divine you are obligated to come back and party with us

I absolutely would, but unfortunately travel is impossible for a while. You must all post here to rave about it when it happens, of course, so that I can be suitably envious!

What they said.

Bump

Kalamazoo No.

I live in Kalamazoo.

I am also a hardcore gangster. I know this because I once walked downtown, at night, in the dark, intoxicated and was accosted and beaten by a number of gentlemen in oversized pants.

This is how you are inducted, I saw it on Dateline.

I descend upon Kalamazoo about once a year for work reasons, so there's a very very small chance I might turn up. (But only if Indrani's there.)

Your move, Indrani.

Babel and Indrani?

Guys, we need to get this going before the snow hits us, I think it going to be a hard, cold winter this year.

For the first texas meet, we did the ren faire and it was awesome. I heartily recommend that others do the same. Also, for the record, Prenumbra and I jousted with safety swords. It was still fun.

I'm going to throw up a suggestion to get things started, how about sometime during the first week of November, somewhere in Grand Rapids?

I'm going to do an exchange, I'll be in michigan from january to june.

Grand Rapids is fine.
If we meet in January (after the 13th) we can celebrate my 21st.

Michigan Style.




By Michigan style, I mean get plastered and develop an alcohol problem

Is January 13th good for everyone? If so, where about in Grand Rapids?

I might come to that, if I'm there by then. I'll be living in Allendale, which I'm given to believe is close to Grand Rapids.

As my only mode of transportation is mountain bike, I will not be attending the awesome. Unless of course it's moved to downtown Royal Oak

Maaybe next time.

It should only be a 25-35 minute drive to get to Grand Rapids.

GVSU?
