Mentioned in the April 1, 2005 show... BLACKOUT.COM will be ten years old on July 26th 2005!!!
Since Blackout is hosting a 10 day party from July 22nd to July 31st, and forming teams depending on how many days you attend, we need to figure out what to call the various groups of people who are going to participate in the Blackout's Box 10 Year Aniversary Extravaganza.
A -- All 10 days
B -- 9 days
C -- 8 days
D -- 7 days
E -- 6 days
F -- 5 days
G -- 4 days
H -- 3 days
I -- 2 days
J -- 1 day
K -- didn't show up
(and if you didn't already know, here's a list of NATO's phonetic alphabet)
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee, Zulu
My dream would be to fly down and hang out the full 10 days and record it all on my Sony Handycam for The Archive! but I doubt I would be able to ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

What're the dates for this celebration again? I'd only cost me $125 to fly to Ft. Lauderdale.
But then there's hotel, food, lack of sleep...

Well I don't care what you want to call them, just don't be on team kilo - or, "I willa kilo youa mya frienda fora beinga sucha ![[Tool]](graemlins/toolsign.gif) a!"
(itallian mobser voice while reading the above please)
Herbert, you are getting confused. The party is going to be in Ohio, so THAT is where you would be flying to. Unless of course you mean you wanted to fly here to be part of team alpha and join the in on the RV road trip with team ALPHALPHA-ROCKING-IT-VICTOR that will be taking the huge rented RV all the way there.
I still have to figure this out. We will need some team members to be in OHIO on the first day - Friday the 22nd, who are team alpha but who are team ALPHA-ALPHALPHA-OHIO before the rest of team ALPHA-ROCKING-IT-VICTOR that are RVIng it get there.
Since we will be with a bunch of people I think that we can just do shifts and drive straight on through to the other side. How long aproximately does someone think it will take to drive to San Duskey, Ohio from Ft Lauderdale with only food and the occasional, "hey, lets's beat up that hic!" stops?
The OFFICIAL dates (get your CALENDARS out sluts) are Friday July 22 to Sunday July 31, with the ACTUAL 10th anniversary of Blackout's Box going online being on of course, tuesday, July 26th, and a repeat day on Saturday the 30th - both are cedar Point Park days.
I am setting up an e-mail account:
party2005@blackout.com
just to deal with this, so if you are definately going or have questions or yada yada, actually, post it HERE first, but if you need to send private information like registering to go (your phone number and address will be needed to do a full background check that you won't kill any of us and also so we can contact you), mail it to party2005@blackout.com
I will very soon be posting a FULL description of the projected schedual of events that will be held on each day. Each day representing 1 year in the life of the box from 1995 to 2005, and actually, some days representing more, since that has only been the INTERNET life of the box. Blackout's Box - the voice mail line was around for years before that.
So lets just start right off the bat by getting some responses and suggestions here in this thread.
Who's DEFINATELY going, who's DEFINATELY NOT going (team KILO), and how many, or on what days, do you think you can attend ect ect...
The more who go, the cheaper it will be, because I will be able to get group discounts on both the park tickets and the accommodations. There will be TWO Cedar Point days, and I believe if I book at a group rate, I will be able to get us in for half the normal price: $50 a pop total for a two day ticket (meaning $25 per day).
The first Cedar Point day will DEFINATELY be July 26th. On that day, we will party in the Cedar Point park all day long, and then when it closes at around 9 or 10, we shall continue the party all night long back at wherever it is we are staying, which will most likely be a haunted mansion of some sort right across the lake from the park. We will play Clue or be cluelessy messed up. Perhaps even both!
Wednesday (wednesday is spelled absolutely ridiculously for how it is pronounced and one of the clues that leads me to believe the English language was created by jokster aliens) will be a very chill R&R day, and then Thursday will be the 10th anniversary Blackout's Box LIVE! from OHIO remote broadcast to all the KILO's who didn't make it - so that we can taunt them with vivid descriptions of all the fun we're having, and also excite the few members on lower teams who are coming only for the last couple days. On Saturday, July 30th, we will have a reapeat of July 26th for those good fellows and gals who are only making it for the weekend of July 29th (friday) and leaving on the 31st - Sunday.
Sunday, July 31st, we will say our goodbyes, have a good cry, pack our shite and head out.
We will probably rent 1 or several big old mansion style houses or apartments to accomodate us all, depending on the confirmed amount of people who are going, how early I have a good set of confirmed people, and what is available in Ohio. Once you are confirmed to be going, you will need to send your money in, and if you back out, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEED REFUNDS, but your money will be listed as a Blackout's Box donation. This is not to rip anyone off, but once I send the money in for the house, that's it, they don't offer refunds either, and it will be too complex to keep changing. In order to get the cheaper rates, you have to pay ahead of time, and if you don't go, your space will still be in the house/hotel/wherever we are staying, and your Cedar Point tickets will be given to a random stranger. If, within time, someone steps in and takes your place if you cancelled, and I get their money, I will gladly give you a refund, but it is to difficult and confusing to guarantee it. The only money I will be taking will be for the accomodations and your park tickets. Some people who don't mind and want to save will most likely be sharing rooms. If you want your own private room for your own party (group of people, not your own sub party.. lol), or want your own private accomodations, please let me know in an e-mail. t Food and extra expenses are your own deal. Plan accordingly.
Accomodation wise, a mansion or a big as we can get house/houses or apartment/condo if no houses are available will be a lot more fun (and less expesnsive) than the standard hotel rooms. I started doing this practice in Orlando years ago and it just rocks the casbah over staying in little dinky smelly standard hotel rooms. This is of course if it is possible to do such a thing and I can locate such a place in Ohio and secure it in time. If it is not, we will rent a bunch of adjecent and connected hotel rooms somewhere, however I am hoping to go with the house/mansion/at least condo option. Some of us going in the RV will be able to stay in the RV as well as it has two sleeping quarters.
I am used to setting this up and booking everything for our Holloween Horror Nights adventures, but I think the 2003 party was the pinnacle of that - as it is now getting kind of stale and drawn out, and from what I hear, no one enjoyed going to the 2004 one (I was underneath my futon crying and did not attend).
They now over commerciallize it and overbook it, and unless you go on a non weekend during the very first week of October, you're screwed because it sells out almost every night and therefor sucks because the lines are so long and people are packed in like sardines. You can't get on anything without a 3 or more hour wait, and then when you finally do, you get pushed through like cattle so the experience sucks - SOOoooo... it is time for something new, and THIS IS IT my beaotches!
OHIO CALLS TO OUR SOULS. The great lakes are there. Why go to a mediocre lake or an OK lake when you can go to a GREAT lake or even a few great lakes!
Of course the MAIN EVENT, ATTRACTION, and reason I am holding this [/b]SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR[/b] in San Duskey, Ohio in the first place, is because it is home to CEDAR POINT, the LARGEST roller coaster theme park in the world, both in having the largest/tallest coaster in the world - the Dragster, which goes up 420 feet at 120 miles per hour, and also in having the largest AMOUNT of roller coasters in one place, being...I believe...around 18 or so, compared to Islands of Adventures whopping 3.
To give you a sense of scale of how absolutely mind bogglingly tall the Dragster coaster is, picture this: the very tip of the torch of the Statue of Liberty would only hit about the 5th major support beam if you start counting from the first visable one (above the tree on the right).
Can someone say holy sweet fucktard of jesus?!? I hope I don't blow my jugergads!
If you are interested in being on TEAM ALPHALPHA and want to go on the RV trip, I suppose if you get BBSC (Blackout's Box Security Clearance), you COULD fly in and out of Fort Lauderdale. Otherwise you will be flying or driving in and out of Ohio. I have to check on the airport info. I believe there is an airport about a half hour to an hour away from San Dusky. If you fly in, we may have various people make shuttle trips to pick you up if it is possible, but you may have to use a shuttle/bus service. I am pretty sure that one exists as Cedar Point is a huge atraction. Once again I will be doing more research on this and posting details as I get them.
People - don't delay on this. Start planing, making the necessary arrangements, and saving the pennies NOW! These things are VERY hard to organize and require a lot of planning, and EVERYONE who has missed some of the GOOD ones (with the BEST so Far being the 2003 trip) has terribly regretted it! Just ask Sampsyn. So let's start taking names and kicking ass now!
All of you who know that you know that I know that you know that you know who you are, know that you are not only expected to attend, but you are EXPECTED to attend. Did I mention you are EXPECTED to attend? Oh, on top of that, it is REQUIRED by Blackout's Box law that you attend.
You know who you are. All of you, the ENTIRE group. All past weirdnesses or gay cock fights will be set aside for ths joyous festival.
Did you here me? NO fights or weirdness of ANY sort! But if you don't go, you are going to get your ass kicked!
EDIT: THIS WAS A JOKE, NO ONE HAS TO GO UNLESS YOU WANT TO AND ARE ABLE TO. CALM YOUR BOOBIES.
This will be the first and last blowout of this magnitude until the Box changes in form and probably goes huge and public, where it won't be manageble and personal quite in the same way it is now, because I'll be in my famous celebrity sell out phase and won't have time for anyone anymore because I'll be too busy with fame hungry groupies, escorts, and seedy folk in my private and evil penthouse world.
Just kidding.
But what I am saying is this: I don't plan on trying to throw or organize something like this again until Blackout's Box reaches the next level of national recongnition. Of course, I will probably throw a few more little gatherings...perhaps around Halloween time or something, but NOTHING LIKE THIS. Nothing of this scale and level of insanity. Nothing that goes for 10 days.
It is only because this is such a huge milestone and anniversary for the box (and because parties are really fun) that I am doing this. Each day is going to represent something different, and I'm sure the experience will be one of a lifetime, and remembered forever, as have been the very special events of the past...but the past is the past, WE'RE AT NOW, NOW![/b}
The members of team ALPHA-RV (meaning those who are the true [b]partiers of valor, and will be going on the whole road trip in the RV) will be treated to the Blackout's XBOX Battlevan.
The Battlevan RV is going to be networked with 4 Blackout's XBOXes and 16 controllers, and also have a huge WIFI scanner antenna on the top of it in case we pass some hot spots so we will be able to give updates and perhaps even some surprise broadcasts along the way both to excite those who are meeting us, and taunt and make fun of those who are not.
When the van hits 88.5 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious SHIT!
That serious shit being us getting pulled over and harassed by hic cops most likely, so lets keep the driving to around 70-75 mph.
The entire event is of course going to be well documented on film, video, digital cameras, notebooks, DATs, minidiscs, mp3 recorders, hard drives, scrolls, canvas, sculptures, paintings, and etchings, and also made into a comic book.
It will be uploaded to the site of course so that those who went will be able to relive the pure awesomeness forever, and so that those who didn't go feel really bad for the rest of their lives (or at least until the next one) for being such KILOS!
More news coming soon!
BLACKOUT'S BOX SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR 10th ANNIVERSARY PARTY 2005 - 10 years on the NET - 10 DAYS OF INSANE FUN!!!
Don't be a by being on team kilo! Make plans to ATTEND now! This is PLENTY enough ahead of time to get off/away from work and save up (or steal) enough money to attend (you will need to have your money in approx 1 month before the event date) and it's in the late summer so you shouln't be in school and if you are in school, then it sounds to me like it's time to get a deathly flu for a couple days.

Just to get people more revved up about going: Here are some more pics and links:
The SECOND tallest coaster in the park, and just as insane as the Dragster, is the Millenium Force, which held the record last year as being the world's tallest roller coaster. Check out the frikken first drop!

I believe this should be open by the time we attend, it is being built as we speak, and it looks pretty sick and twsited. I love it. Pharris should enjoy this one.
maXair
quote:
SANDUSKY, Ohio, Dec. 1, 2004 – Cedar Point today announced plans to swing and spin into its 2005 season when the famed amusement park/resort debuts a massive high-energy, high-capacity thrill ride. Named maXair, this new mega-thriller will give Cedar Point a total of 67 rides – which is more than any other place on the planet – and will be the centerpiece of a $10 million capital investment project for the park’s upcoming season.
Riders on the super-sized maXair will sit in outward-facing suspended seats that form a giant circle of 50 passengers; their legs will dangle freely, and each seat will have an individual shoulder restraint and restraining belt. maXair will let loose by swinging riders back and forth in a seemingly out of control pendulum motion while spinning in a clockwise rotation and reaching a maximum speed of 70 mph. When the pendulum movement reaches its peak, riders will be 140 feet high and experience that coveted feeling of “airtime” – similar to the sensation of weightlessness that is popular for thrill-seekers on roller coasters. The dynamic return drop will generate varying forces on riders depending on their specific position through the clockwise rotation, creating a different ride experience each time.
“Cedar Point has a global reputation for providing the best amusement rides the world has to offer, and maXair will give our guests yet another choice when it comes to the ultimate in thrill-riding,” says Daniel Keller, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “maXair will be a sensory overload machine packed with plenty of action. One moment riders will be upside down and the next moment they will be diving face-first toward the ground. It will be as much fun to watch as it will be to ride.”
Hmmm.. 67 rides... Gladys is 67, Satan who was guest on the Easter special was 67, and 6x7 = 42.
I think this trip is gonna be good.
Check out the other sick and twisted ride behind it! That one's called the Wicked Twister
As I have been looking through all this stuff I have come upon somehting funny. The new politically correct way to refer to fat bastards in theme parks and businesses is "Guests of Exceptional Size"! That's great! So if you are a fat bastard, and someone says to you, "hey you fat bastard! Let's go on this ride!" You can say back to them, "I am NOT a fat bastard, I am a Guest of Exceptional Size."
I hope you enjoyed that very informative insert, but now on to more of the rides:
For those who are fans of the Tower of Terror at Disney, and Doctor Doom's Fearfall at Islands of Adventure, here's one to boot fear into your boots. This is called the Power Tower and is TWICE as high as either of the aforementioned rides!

Oh hell yea, it'd be awesome to get out of this state and hang out with some strangers for a 10 day road trip. Then get a ride back to my hometown instead of going all the way back to Ft. Lauderdale to fly back... My Archival Sense is tingling.
Just out of idle curiousity... if I got hit by a bus, or shot by a redneck, or in any other ways die a horribly depressing and embarrassing death while on the trip, who's liable? 
In the mean time, I'll have to think about it ...
Total Est. Time: 20 hours, 19 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 1273.72 miles
And if I was able to come along, for 10 days straight I'm thinking I'll need to pick up 60 Hi8 Video tapes for a complete documentation of the event ![[Laugh]](graemlins/laughface.gif)

Hi8!?!?!?
BLech! I'll give you a camera to use. What year are you in? DV or higher my friend. Is it at least Digital 8? 1250 miles... 20 hours... is that a mapquest estimation? Is that straight at the speed limits with no stopping?
I bet we can do it in 15 hours non stop shifts but of course we will stop along the way for fun or food. There will be a bathroom and kitchen in the RV so we can load up on food and not have to hit so many restaurants and crappy fast food.
so I'll say 17 to 18 hours and we're there.
So if we leave Friday ASAP, depending on weather people can get it off or not.. people in team hard core ALPHALPHA... we should arrive by Sat night.
And I spelled it wrong it's one word Sandusky, not San Dusky. It appears they DO have a small airport but I don't know how many flight go there, the major airport is in Cleveland.

Ok, it is Digital8, my bad.
That's mapquest's estimation. I calculated that would be how long it would take if you drove at a constant 63mph... but it's not entirely precise. If you wanted a more precise estimation, I'd have to enter the actual address of Cedar Point, and your departure address.

While the concept of leaving my home for 10 days with some of this merry band of misfits almost gets me erect, I'm doubting I'd be able to pull the funds or cajones together to do something like that.
Plus, I'm deathly nervous of heights so the rollercoasters are out for me, and have no sense of direction (and own the most gas consuming vehicle short of a bus: The 1990 Caddillac Brougham)so driving there is out, and have no income (being an unemployed college student) so in whole, it's highly unlikely.
Cheers to all who DO attend and if I pull something magical out of my ass and do have the capability of attending, I'll let everyone know.

All of the above goes for me too (minus the fear of heights, but I'm still not a huge roller coaster fan either). There are only 2 problems I think I'm going to have to face:
Parental Conscent:
- yes I'm almost 21, but I hold my family in high regard, and my dad'll rub it in my face with disapproval if I get mugged and/or killed and/or injured in any way.
And the second problem:
Actually getting mugged and/or killed and/or injured in any way.
- It's just my luck that I'll end up broke, losing all my gear, and lost out in Georgia on the first day of the trip.
As far as money goes, I'm making a steady $200-$300 a month from Studiotraffic, so I should be plenty set when the time comes. And with my luck, this whole thing is a trap to lure unsuspecting people in to be mugged and/or killed and/or injured in some way .
Here's a question... How much do you randomly estimate we'll need for the entire 10 day thing? food and housing-wise that is... Just a random estimate from preliminary Google searches would be nice.
Ugh. I see all these movies like Eurotrip, National Lampoon's Vacation, etc. And I long to travel, but I don't know if things will work out.

To answer a couple of these questions:
First of all, you don't HAVE to go the full 10 days.
I set it up to be for 10 days not just because the box will be 10 years old, but specifically so that it is enough time for ANYONE who wishes to attend to make it on at least ONE of thee days, and join us for at least a day or two or three!
You are welcome to, and I would love for you to attend all 10 days or for as many days as you can, are able, or would like too, but showing up for one is better than none!!!
There are two weekends, and a whole week inbewteen. Certainly ANYONE has some days off within that spectrum of time. That is why there will be different teams and groups, and why I have given this far enough advanced time and notice, so that you can start to arrange things now. 3 months goes by faster than you think - about as fast as some of these coasters.
If you are only going to attend for 1 day, I would make it either the 26th (the actual 10th anniversary and Cedar Point/house party) or the 28th (the remote broadcast), or the 30th (Cedar Point day two for those who can't make it to day one).
2ndly:
You don't need to bring 'equipment', you only need to bring yourself and enough funds to get by. The more people who go, the cheaper it will be for all of us.
As to 'equipment', I will have plenty of documentation equipment, but you are welcome to bring cameras or camcorders. Of course they are your responsibility but there will be a safe lockup area for valuables, and no one will have anything stolen or be raped, tickled, hurt, mugged, or violated by fish.
3rdly:
I have done meets and greets and gatherings many, many times before, and have experience in it and the planning of it. No one has been mugged/robbed/raped/or killed at any of the gatherings.
ONE time, at a party at the house a wallet was swiped, but the wallet was swiped from the girl in questions boyfiend who invited SHADY characters that I did not know or approve of.
EDIT BY BLACKOUT: The above sentence has caused much controversy and upset, so let me clear it up by saying that it was not swiped by the boyfriend's friends, but by someone I DID not know. All people coming to THIS festival will be checked out and have to be approved by me, and we will have two marines and a firefighter as part of the BBSTF (Blackout's Box Security Task Force) to quickly put an end to anyone who gets unruly or causes any trouble, but I doubt very highly that anything of the sort will happen as the group of people who are coming are a good bunch. This site is not a big hangout for thugs.
So it is very simple this time, and common sense always wins out. Don't bring expensive shit with you if it makes you worried! Whatever you need... be it some cash, credit/debt cards or what not, keep it in your pocket with you.
If you DO bring something like a camera or whatnot, as I said, I will have a "lock down" area where no one can get to, where valuable items may be stored. Just let me know. If you leave your wallet out on an open park bench and someone steals it, that is your foolishness! Don't blame anyone else.
So to put it frankly, no one has to worry about anything you have expressed concerns over. This has already been well thought out and it's all under control peeps. We may even have the security of the Crimson Guard if Serpentor attends!
Sincerely,
The BBSTF

I hate rollercoasters.
But roadtrips are an integral part of my life, and so has Blackout's Box been for many years. Thus, I ask the pivotal question:
Can I just wander and around and drink while everyone else is busy throwing up on the rides?
Also...Herbert, you've never been on a party-trip, have you? Your food expenses are whatever you make them. Traditionally when we go camping, one of my "less gifted" friends only brings el-cheapo canned Heinz Simpsons 'Pasta in Sauce'. He ends up spending about two bucks a day on food as compared to my fifteen. Gas and rent are one thing, but every - EVERY - other expense is ALWAYS optional and flexible. Depends on what you want/need to be comfortable.

Well I feel 100% better about it now. The only reason I've been thinking about going the whole 10 days is because I figure why miss a minute of it if you're going to go at all? Just like your shows, it's like if you stay for only part of it, you'll always miss something good. I'm not big on roller coasters either, so I figured the rest of it would make up for it.
And Vinas is right about my lack of travel party experience, but you have to start somewhere, right? So why not go about it in style with an RV equipped with XBoxes? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I'm thinking at this moment, a more logical course of action for me would be to go straight to Cedar Point to be part of the second group of 10-dayers (ALPHA-ALPHALPHA-OHIO) that will set things up. Again, I'll have to email you about it.

Well, seeing as PA is closer to Ohio than Florida that seems logical...I'm sure you just wanted to be part of the Hat-van experience though.
If I were to take the trip to one or the other, it would probably be six in one, half a dozen in the other as to which is further. I know I could make the trip to Florida in a day if timed properly, rest wasn't that big of an issue, and I dodge the speed traps, but I hear Florida Cops are ruthless.

Unless something horrible happens to my only remaining grandparent (dad's mother) who lives up there (actually in Middletown, Ohio), we'll be staying put in Pensacola; we don't have enough money, I certainly don't. Spent $352 on a video card, supposed to be top of the line that's not insane-o expensivo. Guess if I didn't spend it on that I MIGHT have considered getting a plane ticket to head up to Sandusky, but then my parents would have none of me traveling on my own such a long way. And I guess neither would I

Sometimes I seriously think you're putting us on.

Starting now... The "Get Eazy Cheeze $250 For A Plane Ticket" Fund. I'm good for $50, who's going to get this guy a ticket for fun?
It's one thing for me to say I might not make it... I'm 20 with college to worry about, but Mr. Cheeze, you need to come and have yourself a good time.
Break away from all doubts and face the world and say... "HELLO WORLD! THIS IS WADE AKA EAZY CHEEZE AKA THE GUY WHO'S GONNA STOMP YO' ASS."
(CUE TRIUMPHANT ORCHESTRAL SCORE!!!)

Hey Michael! I checked Southwest and the cheapest I could find was $264 RT from FLL to Cleveland. Hey, it looks like it may be difficult for most people to make this trip - but I am down for a bigass party down here to celebrate.

Well, these are just my sentiments/ideas. I say this completely from the heart as your friend and confidant and I hope you take it as such. We are all - always - rooting for YOU
Why did the Golden Girls theme song just pop into my head? "Thank you for being a friend"...
Anyway, I'll keep my eyes on what comes of these party plans, because I'm actually crazy enough to make the 1800 mile journey to Fort Lauderdale.

Miguel - where are you getting your airfare quotes from? I've done sidestep (which searches them all) and also directly to the airline. Which site are you looking at?

I'm sorry, but neither orlando nor a cruise ship has this:
Orlando is worn out for me. As much fun as it has been, 4 or 5 years in a row of group festivities and going on the same damn rides has faded it a bit for me. I mean... I'll go.. if that's the best you lamos can do. I have a pass anyway (thank you Bambi ![[Love ]](graemlins/loveyesface.gif) ). I'd like to do the cruise ship thing some other day but I hear all you do is eat too much, puke, and have sex if you have a girl with you. Can't you do that at home without spending $800.00?
I am going to OHIO and to the park you beotchies. I love you all, but I must go. Come hell or high water, and hell already came, and the high water is going to be the great lakes. I really would like you all to join, and I can understand if you simply can't, but it's three months ahead of time warning so I still must say: I love you but YOU SUCK!
I have wanted to do it for years, and unlike Orlando where we can just go any time, Cedar Point is only open for 3 or 4 months out of the year, and I'm not f-ing missing it this year and having to wait another 8 months before I can go again. No no no. Plus, the lord jesus told me in my sleep it is the place to go. He said there would be strife...he warned me of you satanic ice blade knifing defectors! Plus.. the world only lasts for a few more years guys... and as Mr Morrison said, "I wanna have my kicks before this whole shithouse goes up in flames!"
So... if TEAM KILO poo poo heads want to do something pre trip. I mean.. sure... of course I'd eb up for it if it's cheap because I gotta save my money for Ohio even if it's a scaled down version.
I think the economic arguments are not quite valid. It will cost just as much or more to go to Orlando. Lemme get some definite spread sheets and verifiable rates links and yada yada and work up a spreadsheet and we will do a cost comparison analysis compared to awesomeness of new experience analysis and then we will just do an anal ysis alanlysis which is good for the bowels and especially Howard who is a little blocked up. Howard MUST go because of the FRIES incident anyway. This is the only way he can clear his name.
EDIT: THIS WAS A JOKE, NO ONE MUST GO. MY GOOD LORD CHIRST WHAT WAS I THINKING TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO TO A PARTY. I should be shot!
Yes, to get the cheapy fair you have to take a flight that obviously switches yada yada but who gives a poop. IT'S A 420 foot coaster.. and then 16 MORE coasters after that.
I won't need sex anymore after this!
Ok well maybe I was going a bit too far with that statement.
Anyway I am not going to force any of you or make you feel guilty or any of that stuff but..
WHAT HORRIBLE FRIENDS YOU ARE! MAY A PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS RUIN YOUR CROPS!
Prostecta! I Crush You!
EDIT: FOR THOSE WHO ONCE AGIAN DON'T GET IT... THIS IS A JOKE. OH MY GOD I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THAT.

Of course. Absolutely. I encourage it. Drink to excess, and eventually you will forget that you are afraid of the roller coasters, and then we will convince you that you in fact LOVE roller coasters!

I encourage you to drink to excess, and then eventually you will forget what we did to you, and you will forget that you are afraid of the roller coasters again, and then we will AGAIN convince you that you in fact LOVE roller coasters!

Then you will die from a bee sting, but you will be happy, and at peace.
To the rest of you:

Just to clarify here? You are like 26 right?
And your parents don't let you travel?
Hmmmm.. ummmm... I'm just gonna pass on this one.
Next please.

EDIT: LAST UPDATE OF THIS LIST 4/12/05
Ok, NOW we are back on topic!
As to your reservations, what I need now is a DEFINATE head count of WHO really is going to go, and for how long and what days you plan on attending. The sooner I get this information, the better, and the CHEAPER!
Only then can I get an accurate price breakdown and start posting some pricing options.
So right now, I need everyone who is definitely attending to POST in this thread, and to also please send an e-mail to party2005@blackout.com, and I will keep you in the attending list and e-mail you updates as well as the posts here.
So far, this is what we have:
Definately going: (hopefully for the full ten days.. but the road trip/air trip is still in question depending on if we have enough people to split the cost of an RV or not) I am looking into privately renting an RV from and older couple rather than a big company, but I suggest everyone start looking around and doing searches and seeing what you can find, two web heads are better than one and three or more are better than 2 and...well...you get it.
Your captain and co-pilot of the RV adventure will be myself and my cousin Bobby (Wonton Warrior). Assitant co pilot (definately going for the full 10 days) is Piedmont, and I believe we just got another sign up - Natas, and David (of discount auto insurance who helped Spacely with her insurance)
So that's 5 definites for the whole 10 days so far if it comes together and is feasable with at least 3 more people signing up to - TEAM ALPHALPA-BATTLEVAN-VICTOR
We are definitely going.. and would like to do the RV thing and the whole 10 days house rental if possible, but we need a certain minimum of people for it to be affordable.. so the 10 day RV thing... while it looks like it IS going to happen, is not written in stone and can be altered if not enough people join in and it is not economical or affordable. We could always downsize to a big van or something, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find at least 3 more people to be able to afford the BBox Battlevan.
The one thing that IS written in stone and that IS an absolute - a certainty beyond any shadow of a doubt - is that on the 10th anniversary of blackout.com on July 26th, my ass will be screaming at the top of a 420 foot drop in the front seat of the worlds tallest and fastest roller coaster, and sitting next to me be will be my cousin Bobby (Wonton Warrior) because he is not only my cousin, a great guy, and like a brother to me, but he was also the first to commit to the trip. Sitting behind us, in the order of sign ups, the entire coaster train will be filled with whoever decides to come out and party with us and celebrate my little child's (this site's) 10th birthday for that day, and OF COURSE, we will buy the picture and put it up on the site. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Those of you who are attending but not making it for tuesday, July 26th, the actual 10th bithday of www.blackout.com - don't despair, we will be doing a repeat performance and going to Cedar Point AGAIN on Saturday - the 30th, and there will actually be probably twice as many people on this date so we'll have to get another picture of course. What a corporate scandal!
Continuing on:
So we have 5 definitly going so far on team ALPHAPLA.
2 definites on Team FOXTROT (Wednesday July 27 through Sunday the 31st):
Leo (Jack's Broken Heart) & girlfriend Claudia
Leo works for a Firefighter Battilion, and will also be part of the BBSTF.
5 definites on Team GOLFER - 4 days (Thursday - the radio show day July 28th through Sunday the 31st)
Martin Elfers, Adam (Synozeer), Kojo, and I believe he said 2 buddies. Kojo's claim to fame on the box can be heard in the past show section, and he is also a Marine Reserve and will be part of the BBSTF (Blackout's Box Security Task Force) and his buddies. So my friends, we have 2, count em, 2 marines and one firefighter on this extravaganza for security. Nothing bad is happening and NO ONE's shit is getting stolen or touched or the Marines will attack and remove you in a very, very unfun way for you but fun for the rest of us to watch way.
Plus, Cider Poochie Panoochie (CODE NAME: Panoochio) the wonderpooch and guardian of my stuido equipment is coming along, and she knows bad auras when she sees them (or does she sniff them?) and will attack anyone mean. So pull something evil, and after the marines are done dismembering you, cider will chew on your bones and play 'fetch' with them in the great lakes if you do anything evil to any member of the 'GROUP' (argh... I don't like that word either anymore) lets just change it to 'the friends of the box' or 'GROUP 42'
MOST LIKELY COMING LIST:
These are people who are probably going, very close to going, or very interested in going and are looking into making their arrangements, so I need to know what days you are going ASAP or if you absolutely cannot go, let me remove you from this list and sadly add you to team KILO :
Kate (JoiMik) & Jon, Herbert the Archivist(TEAM ALPHALPHA), Vinas, Atarikat & Jason (2nd weekend team HOTEL CALIFORNIA 29-31st), Spritely & boyfriend Mike, Brendon (The Wicked Dream Factory),Firecat, Cheryl (my sister) Jason Malicoat, Jesus Cheddar, Shane, Marti (Equalizer), Charmaine & Steve (2nd weekend TEAM HOTEL CALIFORNIA , 29-31st), Bambi, Juelieta & Unnamed Friend (TEAM ALPHALPA - all 10 days), Randy (Repstein), two of my very cool neighbors Ahngela the Astrologist & Anonomous Dave, Chantal (from the Drop video), Tesser (only if I go visit her in NY fist..anyone got a round trip ticket to NY lying around?), Darren (Cousin Flopper), Keven Brauss & Band, Reynaldo (Maximumsun), Courtney from New Times, , Kieth the Goat (without any thieving friends of course), LE & Girlfriend,

Rental of an RV for 10 days - 2000
Gas for said RV from Fl to OH and back - 700
10 days rental of House - 2500
2 days Theme park tix - 80
Food for 10 days - 200
total - $5480
Insanity? no. Reality? yes.
Ahem.....
First of all, you DID say that I had gone insane. Those were your exact words...but I digress...
Let's clear this up a bit and show you what the REAL costs will be:
First off, I have found a way to rent an RV PRIVATELY for under $1000, so RV rental, lets just say $1000 for now.
Gas there and back.. by the milage the RV gets and the avg price of gas, I came to $500.
10 days rental of hat house (which will most likely be 9 days ... depending on if I DO the RV thing or not because there is no point in renting the house for friday of the first weekend if we or no one else is going to BE there. (I'll need enough people to split it) I already found a 6 bedroom for $1500 for 9 nights.
2 days theme park tickets ($50 + tax so say $53 for two days) already have a coupon for a discount at this rate for up to 5 people, and I might be able to get a more discounted rate if I get more than 12 people to go.
Food: $200 sounds reasonable if not on the cheap side of things.
$1500 - rv + gas
$1500 - house
$50 - 2 days at cedar point
$200 - food
That's $3250. But you are acting like that is a per person rate.
If 12 people go. Accommodation cost is $1500/12 = $125 per person.. (thats less than $20 a night)
Since I doubt 12 people will be making the RV road trip.. if that comes to be, (I have 4 down for it so far.. but really would need 7 or 8 to make it more reasonable cost wise)
$1000/8 = $125
$500 gas for the RV /8 = $62.50.. but lets just bump it up to $70 a person to be safe. Always better to over estimate than under.
Food - a personal expense, although perhaps we will all pool together and just stock up if we do the house thing, if not, everyone gets there own little hotel which I have found for as low as $33 a nigh + taxes and blah blah about $40 in real money.
So.. total cost, per person, if you attend the WHOLE 10 days and go on the roadtrup, including all your costs: $562.00
That's a pretty sweet fucking deal if you ask me. Lets be safe and jack it up a bit and just say $600.00 total cost.. now things could fluctuate and I may not be able to get the deals I can get if people don't sign up EARLY so let's say that price could even go as far as to $1000 per person... Depending on how long we wait to book.
Now that is for the WHOLE 10 days, and I am not asking anyone but those who want to to attend the whole time! I never said that!
If you come by air... the longer you wait, the higher the prices will be. I will be posting a full list of links to all the current rates and local hotels and yada yada. If less than 12 people are attending.. we will possibly have to do the hotel thing... but it almost is not worth it, you really always win with the house, because even if people pay $100 and they are only staying two nights... isn't it better to stay in a huge house than a dinky little days in style hotel or motel room?
So the cost for the total package for the FULL journey will be between $600 to $1000. The cost for a 2 or 3 day stint will be around $400 most likely. I would of course always have a little more money than that available to be safe and for whatever personal stuff you want to buy. Alcohol and WHATEVER else is a whole nother matter, I am talking basic costs here.
And, as Doni said:
Coming out, having fun with friends, and going to the Guiness Book of World's records winner as the biggest and greatest theme park in the world and riding on the highest and fastest ride that we know of in the universe, on the 10th anniversary of blackout.com...
PRICELESS!

Well I feel 100% better about it now. The only reason I've been thinking about going the whole 10 days is because I figure why miss a minute of it if you're going to go at all? Just like your shows, it's like if you stay for only part of it, you'll always miss something good. I'm not big on roller coasters either, so I figured the rest of it would make up for it.
And Vinas is right about my lack of travel party experience, but you have to start somewhere, right? So why not go about it in style with an RV equipped with XBoxes?
Herbert.. I didn't pay attention to this post, but I see that you say you want to go on the RV trip. So you want to fly into Fort Lauderdale, and then come on the Rv road trip? This is going to increase your expense by the cost of your plane ticket, because you will have to chip in for the RV costs and cover your airfare as well. You are MORE than welcome to do this and I hope you will, as I need the RV team to be definite first before all others, so if these are your definate plans, let me know ASAP.
PS: To the friends in FT Laud who can't make it but would like to do something else. I am all for it, once again as long as it is cheap. Real cheap.. like... free. All my money is being saved for the Ohio trip, and Tesser is coming down the week before the Ohio trip so I am going to spend a day with her as well. So once again, I reiterate - for the local vocal yokels who are unable to attend any of the Ohio trip festivities, if you want to do something here, it must be el cheapo maximo. The BBQ volleyball park day thing sounds good to me, there is a beautiful park right across from my house..., and then we can come across and jump in the pool. It's actually very nice and seculed here in Sherwood Foerst and if you're lucky you just might catch a glimpse of Robin Hood.
I also could be up for an Islands or Universal day if I can bum a ride with someone.

I'll echo that I'd love to go, just don't see it happening. Budget is getting really tight and what money I am saving is most likely going towards a new car in the fall (when my warranty expires).
If the little side business I'm working on takes off (or I find an extra $5K in the next few months so that I can pay back Mom, save towards the car, etc.) I'll head to the park when you're up there.
Count me as a 5% though.

Since I am a single mom, with a full time job, and in tech school and can't do anything fun ever ever ever.. (just kidding) I will not be attending. As part of group Kilo, (aka: those with clipped wings), I am sending Blackout a couple of presents which will be more enjoyable and longer lasting than my presence. If you have these items already in your personal collection, I will be VERY suprised.
Besides, I'm scared of heights.. you couldn't get me on those damn rides, I get scared stepping off a curb on the street! Well, ok that's exaggerating but I am TERRIFIED of heights.
I have the box labeled and ready to be shipped, I plan to go to the post office by Monday and do this. Hope you like what I send you, and Happy 10th Anniversary on the net Blackout. Hope this isn't to much of a chatter post, but I felt it pertained to the trip. Would you like a permission slip from my daughter that I can not attend? She can write pretty well, but her spelling is about as good as yours.

I would love to go to Cedar Pointe...but there is no way and I don't think even if there was a way, that Jeff being there would be comfortable for either one of you...
Oh...you and everyone are still welcome to have a get together at our house. Just let me know if you are interested in doing this...If you don't want to call Jeff, you can get my number from Howard or Doni. Also Jeff is fine with doing something at our house...See he is a good guy!
And stop caring so much about what other people think...Let them think and say what they want...If I tried to defend myself for everything that has ever been said about me...I would never be able to shut-up again!

As I have said, I have NOTHING against Jeff or any of my friends other than I think everyone has gone too far in trying to tell me what I need to be doing.
I think we have both calmed down with our little piss fest, and everyone, including even Flip, is invited to the Ohio 10 year anniversary celebration if they can attend for any of the days. I am trying to secure several units that are directly across the lake from Cedar Point, that have beautful full views of the lake and park from the patio.
As I have said before, if you cannot attend, and would like to do something else locally, pre my launch to Ohio on the 22nd, I am all for it, as long as it is CHEAP!
I can do Orlando, I have a pass. I can do a gathering at someone's house. I can do a great park outing BBQ/volleyball fest at the beautiful park across the street. You guys decide what you'd like to do and what would be convienient and I'm all for it. I hold no grudges against anyone.
& Blu Heavenly, thank you so very much, that was very, very sweet of you, I look forward to receiving your box with great anticipation!
Hugs & Love,

Just FYI I didn't even read ANY of the stuff posted in the wall before posting my prior reply here. Sorry if you were offended by it. Yeah, should've probably been between us.
I still won't be making it to Cedar Point, as much as I'd love to ride the coasters with you. Let me know if you hit the lottery, though. If you're paying - I'm so there!

Apology accepted, and you KNOW, that if I could, I would SO pay for everyone to go!
I can't right now, but ONE DAY it will happen, and I will be able to do that, and it wont be from winning the lottery.
You are more than welcome to attend the team kilo party that it seems we will be having locally before liftoff to Ohio.
It shouldn't be too expensive... I'm sure we'll figure something out. Someone start a seperate thread for that.. or maybe I will. Please let me keep this thread on track for the Ohio trip people.
Thanks,

The answer is simple.
Draw a pentagram in your room, raise a demon, put on some Ozzy music, and then when the demon shows up, give up your free will and let it possess you. Then, kill your mom with a scrunchie. Then take her credit cards, rip off all of her cash, buy a shotgun, off your dad and then some of the neighbors while you're at it (and if ya can nail a cop or two while playing the song 'cop killa' by iced tea, that would just be icing on the cake). Then, get on the bus and head out to Ohio and bring the severed heads of all of them to the Hotel Ohiofornia. Pink champagne on ice will be waiting for you.
(oh how bad would I feel if this kid was a nutball and didn't realize this was satire or didn't even understand the word satire and he actualy went out and DID this?!?!?)
Ok never mind I take it all back just in case you are a looney and don't understand the word or meaning behind satire.
This is what you should do:
Do your homework, listen to your mom, finish up on some of the nice Box stuff you have been doing, eat dinner, read a good book (stay away from that porn and no games with SHOOTING) and go to sleep.
