Title: HLP Road Trip
Post by: Stealth on February 07, 2008, 05:09:05 pm
I spent like 2 hours last night reading old topics, back years before "HLP 2.0"... i miss it :(

Who here's up for a HLP get-together, or road trip, say... end of this year?

:)

I doubt a big road trip would be really feasible for most of us, but some kind of meeting could be awesome.  Perhaps have one somewhere in the US and another in Europe?

i just remember this happened a few times back in the day.  Stunaep (remember him? :) ) and Sandwich met up one time.

i think it would be cool :)

not so much "road trip" as much as "get-together" :0

I'm in the South... Texas.

I fly frequently on business, and wouldn't mind flying anywhere in the continental USA for a couple of days to meet up with some people

Just tossing an idea into the pot - have the groups that meetup
do some team FS2 games against the other meet up groups.

You could probably use frappr for mapping system btw.

This could be interesting if it actually works out, but like Inquisitor I generally can't plan very far in advance.

I'm in New Jersey these days, although I am from the DC area and go there frequently for visits.

More detailed question then, ;) what's the nearest population centre and does it have any good pubs, bars or clubs? Do v offer tours also?
Title: Re: HLP Road Trip
Post by: Stealth on February 12, 2008, 06:20:45 am
ehhh V offered tours back in the day, i think by special request.  of course that was back when Freespace/Freespace2 were still selling copies.  I'll email some people over there that i haven't talked to in years, and find out :)
