Haha, I'm exaggerating...er...probably.

Okay dokey, ill text Martin and let him know the details,although it's a bit odd saying "would you fancy meeting some of my buddies I've never met" . I'm not even sure he's into asoiaf, but he's an ex Irish dancing world champion(lead dancer in the Lord of the dance show in Vegas) and a thoroughly nice bloke, so I'm sure you'll get on. Ill message him now

Definitely sounds like a necessary addition!!

I...am...so...jealous.

I've gotta start a Long Island Moot.

I hope you guys have fun. Maybe I'll send my cousins to it as well. It'll be like I'm almost there.

Wouldn't be nearly the same buddy But are they dance champs with cool accents...? You've got three days, get out here!

I'll be the short Indian guy with glasses wearing a t-shirt that includes one or all of these themes: the word Science, Robots, or Dinosaurs.

martin's in upstate New York this weekend unfortunately (he judges irish dancing competitions now), otherwise he said he was up for it. Have great time !

Bummer Jed, he sounded most intriguing

Lemoncakes just came out of the oven, see you blokes tomorrow

Doh, be right there!

Awkward moot into meta moot was really fun guys! Nice meeting you all.

Jean-Cocteau cinema is the next stop!

Also those lemon cakes are so god damn good. Way better than the lemon-infused rice cakes of my mind. Thanks for providing individual care packages Amber.

Yes! The J-C is only 6 hours from here right?!

Big huggy thanks to Tripdizzle, MadScientist22 and Alias for mooting with me, meeting you guys really made my trip

(Pics to follow)

Haha, it was quite fun indeed! I hope I didn't go off onto too many science tangents.

I also just had one of the lemon-cakes, they're seriously amazing! It was awesome of you to make them for us Amber!

Oh yeah buddies, this happened!

What does this mean? How does one meta moot?


Btw, that is an interesting place you met at. It looks like a patio attached to a parking garage.

Moot where we talk about mooting, online communities, etc.

That's Colfax for you. Amalgamation of cool stuff and shitty stuff.

Awesome that this happened! Welcome to the club of actually meeting some people from the forums in real life. I trust initial awkwardness was won over by shared enthusiasm for lemoncakes.

I suppose we really ought to have gone back inside and posed in front of the GRRM section

It was magical Greg, though trying to find a good spot to actually sit and chat was fairly challenging!

Waiting for my lemon cake in the mail

Anyone who wants can PM me an addy, they freeze up real good...

You should come to Ice and Fire Con 2015. All the cool kids are going; a batch of lemon cakes will quickly win you many friends there

I suppose even a snowball has a chance in hell, but I'm not holding my breath. I would LOVE to go though...

Hey Tripdizzle, I vote that you change your forum name to Carston Cole immediately!

Good call! I totally would if it would let me...

BTW, the lemon cakes are fantastic!

is it just me or is amber kinda bangin for a married 30 some odd yr old massage therapist. good job staying in shape.

Kinda?!
I told you I started runnin last year, man! Gotta work off all those damn lemoncakes And thanks, I'm a little closer to 40 than 30, so I'll take it!

Hope you guys had fun! The photo where you're all sitting down is great.

VOK meet-up at the Jean-Cocteau for the release of ADOS. No excuses. I'm assuming by then teleportation will exist.

That particular pic is the action shot of how we spent the moot. I wish there was a way to have captured the phenomenally awkward first ten minutes, when I marched everyone up and down the quiet bookstore trying to find a suitable place to chat without bothering the other patrons. At one point we had the three guys seated side by side in a row of movie theater chairs while I sat across from/above them on a bar stool as though I were about to teach a class. Terrible and hilarious But the hour we spent talking was definitely a big highlight in an already great trip!

And all my thumbs are up for the J-C Moot

glad u had fun , shame martin couldn't make it , he's gay ( and gave up drinking last year) , which was a great shock to us all , no one has ever given up drinking in the family before , except for my alcoholic granddad , who gave up drinking when I was 3 because he loved me. I feel like I've wandered into a woody allen movie script for some reason

Aw, your grandad and your cousin sound lovely!! If Martin ever makes it to Seattle let me know

Awwww I want this to happen in Boston.

Boston House Manwoody moon tea party?
