Yo guys. Although you rarely see me anyways, I'll be going on vacation for the next 2 weeks starting either tomorrow or Saturday.

If I go to Chicago, I'll just be "less" active.

If I go to Istanbul and Sarajevo, I'll be "very" inactive.

I haven't decided which trip to go on (visit my brother in awesome Chicago - I love it there!) or spend some time in Istanbul and Sarajevo (never been to Bosnia or Turkey - I really want to visit Turkey, and I've always wanted to go to Bosnia, where I got some friends).

I'll purchase the ticket probably tonight. So please contact Detmer for all FA matters (or Drow if you see him).

Best way to contact Detmer is in #pdm on the earthempires server in IRC, or Boxcar insite, or AT forum private message.

i am going camping for a week starting on the second, vacations are awesome wherever you go (istabul over chi town!)

<3

Come to Minneapolis, TAN! It's only 6 hrs from Chicago and I got a guest bed I can moles...I mean...you can borrow.

If you go to Sarajevo, PLEASE go to Hodzic (old town, north side) and take a picture of some cevapcici for me! Or just hit me up, and I'll hook you up with some local ladies. :-D

I was just in Chicago last weekend, thus you missed your opportunity. Istanbul and Sarajevo for sure.

(actually, you will be more active if you go to Chicago? Then do that!)

what's teh difference on activity between chicago/istanbul/sarajevo and current location?

Have a great vaca TAN :)

Where'd you end up deciding?

He is actually in jail for inappropriate touching - this was all just a carefully constructed ruse to protect his reputation.

oh tan00b has reputation?

Haven't decided yet -- I'm still waiting for my exit permit!

It's looking like I might just go to Chicago. The summers there are pretty wicked.

i would go to turkey. its a cool place. but since your coming to the US, ill call homeland security and see about getting you some extra love at customs. we know how you love cavity searches.

Festivals galore in the summer here! Drop a line if you're bored and want something to do in Chicago--I'm here for the next 30 days before I move back to the west coast!

Have a fun Vacation. Take lots of pictures for us! :P

yea take a pics but not from yourself.

Finally got the exit permit sorted. Off to Chicago.

Ima call Homeland Security for you. Make sure they have a nice cavity search waiting when you arrive.

lol, have fun man - I'll be up there in August. After you see a cubs game and eat a pizza, let me know what you decide to do for jollies. All I can come up with are nerdy (Field Museum, Fermi-Lab, yawn, etc.)

should have gone istanbul

Does it matter? This thread is probably a cover for terrorist activities.

what's they be doing? are they running away and looking for a nice dry hole to hide in?

Lots of food places. Chicago is a great city to get fat in.

Pretzel bun massive burgers, a hundred kinds of fried chicken, Chicago-style hotdogs, the best Polish smoked sausages, dozens of deep dish pizzas (personal recommendations=> Giordano's spinach stuffed pizza, and Pequod's ground beef deep dish), frozen custard galore. The parks are great, and in summer there are tons of festivals going on (everything from small markets and indie free festivals all the way up to the much larger Taste of Chicago, Lollapalooza, L.A.T.E. ride--the midnight bike marathon around Chicago).

To get the real chicago experience, you need to ask for ketchup on your hotdog!

ahahahhahahahahaha trife.
