EA no Amerika Trip: CALLING ALL AMERICANS [09/7 - 21/7]

Allrighty. So I've been planning a trip to America, and I think it's a pretty awesome opportunity to meet some of you; this thread is basically to plan that. I'm mostly going to be around LA and Vegas, but I'm willing to travel reasonably far as long as I can get back to where I'm staying on the same day.

Here's my itinerary so far...


TH JULY 09 - Fly from SYD to LAX, SoCal Genesis Bus from Los Angeles to Antioch
FR JULY 10 - Genesis (Antioch)
SA JULY 11 - Genesis (Antioch)
SU JULY 12 - Genesis (Antioch)
MO JULY 13 - SoCal Genesis Bus from Antioch to Los Angeles, MBAA tiems?
TU JULY 14 - Meet ZU Cali?, Fly from LAX to MSP, Housing with Nate
WE JULY 15 - Chillaxan at Nate's place
TH JULY 16 - Fly from MSP to LAS, Housing with LoliSauce
FR JULY 17 - Evolution Championships (Las Vegas)
SA JULY 18 - Evolution Championships (Las Vegas)
SU JULY 19 - Evolution Championships (Las Vegas)
MO JULY 20 - Bus from LAS to LAX, Moar MBAA?
TU JULY 21 - Fly from LAX to SYD
WE JULY 22 - In Transit
TH JULY 23 - Arrive SYD

• Miss this and you're screwed
• With the group being awesome
• Doing stuff by myself

As you can see, the majority of it is planned out. I'm cool with meeting anyone on any day, but realise the plans I already have in place take priority, especially the red ones, so I'll probably only have time for lunch or something unless you happen to be doing the same thing as me. However, there's a few days there with nothing planned. That's for you guys.

Are there any meets happening around this time? Or perhaps other events (such as anime conventions) that I can meet people at? These will have some level of priority since they're fairly major.

Also I think this goes without saying, but I'm mainly thinking in terms of people I actually know. That is pretty much anyone familiar enough with ZU to even consider meeting other ZUers anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. (I'll go to meetups with people I don't know attending, though.)

If anyone here is actually going to Genesis or Evo, I hope I see you there. Don't be shy and ask for some friendlies. :3



So yeah, post here if you're up for something on these dates.

Also keep the "OMG UR GOIN 2 USA THATS SO KOOL" type posts to a minimum, please.

Anime Expo will be taking place July ... oh wait, that's before you take your trip.

If you skewed the times better, you could have joined the SoCal meetup for June 20th, but oh well! I'm a local so I'll probably find you somewhere and throw a cabbage at your head. =3

This ninja is on the east coast, which is on the otherside of where you're going to be. How sad. Though, you can expect me to always be in Maryland unless I say otherwise.

Do you really want to drive back and forth from LA to San Francisco so much to meet people in LA? hah.

Why are you not landing in Frisco to begin with? Flight wouldn't do it?

Aniday makes a good point. It's, like, 8 hours from LA to San Francisco. Unless you take a scenic route via the PCH, it's probably not worth it..

Yeah, basically it's because the flights wouldn't do it. I'm planning on staying in LA after Genesis anyway, so that's not a problem, it's just that Genesis is so far out of the way. ;_;

After I land in LA I'll probably bus it to Francisco and sleep the whole way, cure my jetlag. xD


Eve - I look forward to being cabbage'd (...I think? xP). Sucks that I can't make that meetup, my budget for this is pretty tight so it's impossible to extend or skew in any way, sadly.

Zien - ****sux, that's a shame dude. D:

Someone should get Andi in here, I promised I'd meet her while she's still pregnant. xD

The title of the thread confuses me. It sounds Japanese, but American isn't a language and the language def wouldn't be a destination... I might have misunderstood the message, but yeah...

LOL oops, I mixed it up. I'm still a beginner at Japanese, cut me some slack. xD *fixes*

Edit: Wah, I can't fix it. Someone modly remove "go" from the title plz? :3

ok ok, I'll cut you some slack haha。It was just late and yeah, it was something to comment on. Also, just for fun there's another way to write America：Beikoku, or rice country.

I'll let the thread carry out its intended course now. Have fun in America, Some of those events sound really fun, but I'm stuck over in Florida.

*edits out the "go"*

Also, can't meet Andi preggers as she'll already have exploded with baby goodness when you come out. =D

I told azen to play you at genesis

I said WATCH OUT FOR THE ONE THAT RESEMBLES AN ICE CLIMBER

Too bad I live nowhere near Las Vegas or San Francisco.

I do not resemble an Ice Climber. ;_;

People say I resemble Ganondorf though. To the point where people call out I'M PLAYING AS EA when they pick Ganon in Brawl. D:



Also this is more of a personal note so I don't forget, but I talked to Andi and it seems she'll most likely be good for one of those days.

fuxyea, one down, three days to fill. <3

poop

I'd love to see you, but I'm in Ohio.

I know you were pushing me to Genesis, but I couldn't gather the funds...

This thread has too many people saying they can't meet me.

It makes me sad.

Sadface. ;_;

Mmkay, I haven't talked to Andi yet to confirm when she's available, so this is just an idea, but...

What do Cali ZUers think about having a meet on the 13th/14th (preferably 14th) of July? Kasuto, I'm looking mostly at you. :3
