Midwestern Tropers, UNITE!

The force is a powerful ally!

Also I forgot I brought pocky with me and forgot to share it with all y'all. Watashi Wa Epic Fail - Desu!

As Calaver said, that film proved that tropers are the kind of people who will attempt to reach out and poke the 3D effects.

Yeah, if I brought some normalfags muggles there they'd probably joke about the effects, if they're as bad as you all say it was (I didnt watch the movie to those who werent there).

We did joke about it. And it really looked real.

Now I recall FE being obsessive about taking group pics, did I miss where he posted them? Or is he busy photoshopping dinosaur heads onto all of us?

I still have the picture of him, though I'm probably not going to release the pics of the mods without their permission on fear of being banned. Besides, Madrugada told me that these had better not show up in the photo thread.

I believe the exact words were "thump that post in a heartbeat". I'm pretty sure she meant it.

I didn't hear the phrase, but I will be certain to not release the pictures anyway.

that sucks. Why is everyone so camera shy? They vampires?

It's more like a problem of releasing peoples' likeness on the internet without their permission.

Oh. Gotcha.

I was speaking specifically of the one you took of me and 'cat. I can't stop Eddie, and I won't thump a full group pic. But I really dislike candids of me of the "Look here!"-Click variety.

In that case, deleting.

I've got a couple of Eddie while we were driving there.

Might upload them someday...

Do we get the courtesy of at least a group photo?

I was doing that the whole time. Admittedly, I was having way too much fun interacting with the dinosaurs. Getting a faceful of dirt wasn't very fun, though.

I thought I was going to give Trox conniptions she was giggling so hard.

I actually didn't have too hard of a time with that movie, except for a couple of scenes later on that were very, very poorly meshed; you could see ghosting on each of the other polarized axis, and it was hard to focus.

I propose a semi-regular meetup if you guys can afford it. Say once a month, once every other month? That'd be awesome, IMO.

Also: This is post #666. I'm just that good.

We have some awesome group photos. Including one with me getting trampled, and me going apeshit with a bike.

My photos from the meetup. Remind me who's who so I can tag everyone properly.

Monthly Midwestern Meetup? MMM? And what would we do?

Find shit to do. :P Find cheap movies, go bowling, something like that. Doesn't have to be monthly, could be bi-monthly, could be semi-annually, etc.

Figured.

Whelp, not sure if I'd be able to make it to any others, as FE was only able to give me a ride because he was in the area. In a few months, with him gone, I wouldn't be able to make it.

Not like I'd be missed or anything, I'm only in one of your pics.

I only took one or two photos of everybody, including the group. :P Eddie's got a lot more pictures as well as a couple other people, they'll be uploaded somewhere eventually.

Also, I can give rides to whomever needs one if you're less than a couple hours away.

I so need to move out of my state :P

I'd like to see a meet-up in Missouri.

I'm just about 2 hours away, in Rockford area.
