Who will go with me?

Moosh, I thought I read you weren't going to be there for this years SRM somewhere? Plans changed? yay! :)

nasai, as you can see from the meeting calendar, my group consisting of Julie Santiago, Sean Flaharty, Kyle Johnston, Chris Ward, Keith McVeen and myself will be at SFWoA on Wednesday. We will probably see y'all there as I'm assuming it will be rather empty that day!

Can't wait, I miss SFWoA (really, I do!)

Joe - yeah, I was able to work it out. Hopefully we'll catch a ride together this year ;)

Yeah... I will update my calendar listings as well... Either way, look for the freak with the Ethyl shirt on... ;)

I have been arrested more than you.

nasai,

as opposed to all the freaks WITHOUT the Ethyl shirts on...??? ;)

Oh man... those are fighting words, and we haven't even met yet! ;)

Just so you know, there are a few....

Nasai,

That wasn't meant as a slam on you...believe me...if it's a coaster event, there will be freaks there...and the odds are extremely high that they will not be wearing Ethyl shirts... ;)

d00dz - What are you talking about? Freaks at a coaster event? Never.

Redman... oh no harm dude. Didn't you see the "sly" smiley? ;) Funny, as I have never been to a coaster event, I really can't say I have experience, but it doesn't take much to imagine the dorks that come out raging hard for wood. *pun absolutely intended*

They do come out in droves, Rob, but you can usually find them off in the corner with their stopwatches and note pads timing dispatches & cycles in an effort to discern which of the trains is fastest, pinpointing the exact location of loose bolts, arguing whether the coaster ran better this year than any previous year, and/or debating the pros and cons of PTCs versus Gerstlauers while the rest of us are just happy riding.

Meanwhile, the rest of us can just ride and ride and ride...

Too true, Moosh. The "articles" about ACErs on ARN&R are just too true sometime :) I will never forget my first ACE event. It was eye opening.

If you want to whine about trims, SF, and how PCW will never have a hyper, that's fine....I'll be on Raven :)

Yo P! At my first SRM, when I really didn't know that many people and few knew me, I ended up sitting next to a guy on Raven who insisted on talking to me throughout the entire ride. I just smiled politely and made sure to avoid him the rest of the night.

But 'chris' can top that story. I'll have to remind him to tell his Indiana Beach story at the campfire Friday night ;)

...but........ Chris can attest to you that I can top his... whatwith Ritalin Boy last year at PNE. This was just plain creepy. ;)

Mooshie, I always was the top... you know that! ;)

Aaron, looking forward to it. Funny how we live so close, and we have to go to Indiana to meet!

So, what have we got so far:

The freaks who wear Ethyl T-shirts....

The Freaks who obsess about the details so much they don't enjoy the rides...

The freaks who enjoy the rides, but spend the rest of their time making bad jokes on the internet...

Any others?

------------------
I hear America screaming...

You capitalize the ones who obsess about the details, yet lower case the others...

Is there a freak caste system I'm unaware of;)

The Freaks that contemplate what other kinds of freaks there are....;)

------------------
Yeah, if coasters WEREN'T men we'd have Raging Cow instead!;)

Well, did I say I wasn't I freak? After all, I'm here, aren't I? ;)

Anyway, the capatilization thing was totally unitentional.

Seriously.
