[Jim North]

They're always there.

Waiting.

What if we can't make it because we are too busy praying for your well-being? If I stop you might be in terrible danger!

I am willing to take that risk.

Birds, we're gon' fucking roadtrip it, east to west!

1) there is no way in hell I could get enough vacation time to do that
2) I start getting bitch when a subway ride take longer then 45 min. let alone a cross country road trip to Canada.

It is 100% possible to make it from Washington DC to California in 36 hours quit being a pussy.

Yeah, then from California, just another 11 hours up to Vancouver!

[Frito Bugger]

All I am saying is that this "week's drive" nonsense is nonsense.

[eitlobsaboo]

Can we fast forward this meet to now? The exchange rate is awesome..

[pie]

Just get a bunch of US dollars and hide them till 2012.

[eitlobsaboo]

Good point. Totally doing that.

I think I may have asked this before, but is anyone going to APE this weekend? (comic convention in San Fransisco) If so we should totally meet-up.
