Re: Hard Light Convention?
Oh and "convention"? Gathering @ pub w/ alchohol would suffice.

If we have one in the US I'm bringing some home-made wine and some beer.

London is good for me too. And the idea of a beer night in London sounds great. :)

Re: Hard Light Convention?
Sheesh, you mean they don't allow brazilian psycopaths in? Intolerant bastards. I guess you could fly to Canada, then drive across. Apparently that works even if you're on a watch list and are stopped by a border guard who is well aware of who you are :p

I dunno, I'm Canadian, not on any watch lists, no criminal record, no run ins with the law, good credit, financially stable, and free of diseases, and yet I couldn't get into the states last time I tried.  The guy said he thought I was trying to illegally immigrate.  Haha, I wanted to laugh in his face so badly... but he was a big angry black guy with a scar and probably would have killed me if I did.

Hmmm... Now this piques my curiousity. I'm kinda teetering between wanting to see some of you guys in person and not wanting to see you in person since I know you're all a bunch of psychos. :nervous:

Now there's your problem. You do need to have a particularly bad case of Tuberculosis for that method to work. Still, weird that they'd deny a Canadian entry. I mean, many european countries are exempt from visa requirements so people can just board a flight and expect to be let in, and you guys are their neighbours.

Re: Hard Light Convention?
Yeah, kinda odd.  I dunno really, but alas, I'm on a watch list now hehe, so no going to the states for me!.  If there was a Canadian Con in Vancouver I'd probably show up, Toronto, I can't be bothered to go to.

Because the last time I went there for a convention-like thing (FIRST Nationals), some guy got shot right in front of the convention center, and the traffic is abysmal, and I could go on and on...

Hey flame.
:welcome:


No matter where you guys hold the convention, i won't be able to attend unless i can convince my parents to let me off on my own. There's as much chance as that happening as the Sathanas getting destroyed by a Fenris in a head to head fight.

Well, if the Fenris started off between the Sath's arms, so the beamz couldn't get it, and managed to take out all turrets that could fire on it fast enough, it could work...

Which would be the equivalent of me having spare cash to afford the flight there and back to Singapore, and my mum being nice enough to let me take time off during my school holidays and letting a 17 yr old flying on my own ...
