Oh, no... :(

Leave early, give yourself plenty of time, be careful, and don't rush to get here or anything. :(

We'll perservere.  Even if its later on a side note.  IF we play 1 minute matches w/ a minute to switch we can unlock all the characters on the dojo in 8 hours giving us 2 hours for truly free play...  I don't think thats going to happen... It seems that it was planned to the point where no matter what it's going to take you 8 hours...  I thought it  be a little different...  Off to find my gameboys...

Or you could just download a save file with all the characters unlocked.  I'm sure they'll be available by the time of the official street date.

BTW, sorry I can't be there.  Be sure to take lots of pictures and make a flickr account or something.  Maybe NWR will have an article about it!

Well, my attendance is officially questionable.  I'm sitting home from work today with a temperature ranging from 100.5 to 101.6.  I'll have to make a decision by mid afternoon and let Decoyman know whether he should come through Des Moines to get me, or just drive there by himself.

I really really want to come, and as of right now, I'm starting to feel better, but if this cold doesn't improve by this afternoon I don't think it'd be a good idea.

The snow is coming down and roads are slippery in town. Highways are probably better. I'm only on the fence about when to leave. I could leave tonight and spend the night in Cinnci. Or drive straight through tomorrow. The prediction is 14+ inches by the time the storm is over Saturday night.

Uncle Bob, how is it there?

Drew, don't come if you're sick. Your health is more important. I've been getting over a flu/cold for the past couple of weeks, still coughing and sniffling. But I over did myself a couple of times and made it worse. It would still be cool to meet you face to face, but there is always XBox Live...

Drew - I want you to come man, but if you're not feeling better, don't.  Seriously - I don't want everyone else to get sick too (most importantly, me). ;)  But, if there's the slightest chance you are feeling better, please do come. :)

bustin - the snow here isn't bad at all.  We got maybe 2 inches or so (they were saying 8-12, so I was worried).  If you're going to come, be careful.  Perhaps leaving early would allow you to get out of Dodge before the worst of it?

Something I forgot about - and I don't know where everyone's coming from, so I don't know who all this'll matter to, but this weekend is man's attempt at Time Travel.  We'll lose an hour of play as the time will mysteriously go from 1:59 AM Sunday Morning to 3:00 AM Sunday Morning. :(

I don't know if this'll play into anyone's plans when figuring the return trip...

DREW UPD8:


Temp is down to 99.5, a major improvement over this morning.  I probably can attribute that to the Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom Magic Juice I took a few hours ago.  If I can get it to stay low (or get even lower)  without a second dose over the next few hours, then I'll tell Decoy to go ahead and make the trip to Des Moines tonight.  Otherwise, he'll be be taking off from Lincoln, NE tomorrow morning.  If I do decide to make the trip, I'll stop on the way out of town and get some of those sanitary wipes so that anything I touch this weekend gets cleaned off properly.  And I will promise not to breath close to any of you.  Except Aaron, who will be spending 8 hours in a car with me.  :)

I gots the key!  Whoo!  Things are almost ready!

As for Pizza - I checked around, the "best" deal for private parties (since it's not a not-for-profit thing) is Pizza Hut, - 10 1-topping Large Pizzas for $95.52 after tax.

I think the Pizza Mia's are a better deal (10 Med Pizzas for $50+tax), but we can decide what route we want to go tomorrow. :)

Oh, I've forgot to post - if you have 'em, bring copies of Link to the Past, Mario Kart and other multi-player GBA (or GB/GBC) games you've probably never got to play multi-player...

Yes and I know you lied.  I know you own a Gameboy Camera or two.  Also there is condemning evidence.  You've take pictures before...

I have my cell phone camera, which is a 2.0 MP camera.  It takes decent pictures, but nothing exciting.  Feel free to bring your own cameras though.

And yeah, I do have four Game Boy Cameras.... what... 0.002 MP?

Combined they equal an amazing 0.008 MP!

What colors do you have?  All four "basic" ones?  Do you have the limited edition Zelda one?

Yes. What has been set in motion cannot be stopped.

On a side note, I'd love to have been there, but it just wouldn't work for me either time or money-wise.

Okay, I'm coming.  I feel much better now than I did earlier today, and my temp has managed to stay centered around 99.1.  I'll bring the Tylenol with me to keep it down, and I'm sure my lingering cough will be all it takes to convince everyone I meet this weekend to keep their distance, but I will be there!

I'm off to bed - I'm about 1/2 packing stuff up.  It's real fun, let me tell you... (*cries when he thinks about having to put it all back together*)  If anything comes up, feel free to drop me a txt, and if I get up in the middle of the night to potty, I'll check messages.

Also, I bought about $70 worth of snacks/pop.  Not much healthy stuff (sorry if that's your thing, but I got a variety of stuff I like so I could make use of the left-overs.)  Come hungry. :)

Up at 5:27 AM, showered and ready to go - just waiting for Decoy to finish up getting ready.

Feeling considerably better too, actually.  I think I made the right choice.
