BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

Hello, Zelda Universe.

Do you live along the Interstate 81 Corridor, or nearby? Have you always wanted to meet a certified Internet Celebrity(R)? Do you have some money for lunch?

This December, my fiancee and I will be undertaking a 2500+ mile road trip in my beloved Ford Thunderbird, specifically to catch a Christmas party my girlfriend's family is throwing on the 6th. As such, this gives Zelda Universe forumgoers within the swath of destruction I will carve down the Appalachia, the chance to meet me.

Along the drive, I will be staying for a week or two at her parents in Tuscaloosa, AL, followed by a couple days in Augusta, GA to see my grandparents.

First question you are probably asking yourselves is "well how will I know if I am close enough to meet this much concentrated awesome?" Simple! Please refer to the following map:



The blue line represents the route I am taking. If you are not far off that route, or there is an alternative highway pattern that offers a comparable distance, then you are in luck!

Since we can't exactly cook lunch in our car while driving, this forces us to make occasional stops for food. So I am giving you the opportunity to buy me lunch in exchange for spending time with you. Lets face it, friends these days are hard to come by, and you need all the human interaction you can get. A burger and soda is a cheap fare for an hour or so of genuine companionship.

BONUS: If I like you, I will pay for my share of the lunch!





No, but seriously, seriously, ego aside, if any ZU old folk are still around, I'm basically driving up and down the eastern seaboard of the US and am up for making small detours for people I actually know. Who's up for it?

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

If you went just a bit further south I'd buy you some food, but I won't be in Alabama at that time.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

I go along 81 now and then. It's about 3 hours away from me, but is also where the in-laws are.

Good luck and fun on your trip! Looks like a nice, enjoyable one. I hope the scenery is to your liking.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

DAVE! Haven't talked to you in ages, man. Hit me up on IRC sometime.

And yeah, the scenery is absolutely beautiful. It's the reason I take I-81 down there instead of I-95: Less traffic, better views. :3

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

YEAH DENNIS WHO ARE YOU.

xDD

Don't mind the newer members, man, you're still my favourite Capn.

DUDE, this is an awesome idea. You're not gonna be doing this again, like, you know, halfway through next year? >.>

Edit: because I think I owe you drinks and not lunch.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

Don't worry Liah. As long as she has family that lives on the other half of the country, we'll be making semi-regular excursions down there.

I'm definitely coming down for your wedding so by all means lets plan something for it.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

When you pass over from Pennsylvania into New York you'll be roughly an hour away from me (I live in North New Jersey). Not sure if that's considered near or far.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

A Jersey detour can be arranged for virtually zero extra milage. I have a good deal of contacts in Jersey I need to pay a visit to as it is.

That is excellent. O:
Shame on you for not visiting those contacts more often.

Re: BUY ME LUNCH ON MY ROAD TRIP

I can't buy anything for you, since I'd be away. But I would definitely suggest you coerce someone to buy you Five Guys while in Columbia. Some of the best burgers I have ever had.
