i will admit it. i totally want to go.

ed is worried though. he wants to make sure no one here is really like a 50 yr old single male just trying to entice women to chicago to do scary things. who here can prove they are not a 50 yr old man with nasty ideas?

I don't care if you are a zombie. You are coming, young lady, and that is the end of it. I won't let you use that "oh, but people won't like me cause I'm undead excuse" on more time. You are coming and that is final!

Oh, I can prove it. When you come to Chicago...

Just kidding. I guess there's no easy way we can prove it ... phone conversations? But I suppose it's pretty unlikely that all of us are nasty 50-yr-old men. Although that would be pretty damn funny. Ha!

Things I Have To Say About This:
1. You are coming, zombie or not.
2. You are bringing Ed.
3. WHY in god's name would a 50 year old man with nasty ideas be posting on PLEBA?? Why not like... an N'Sync board? Seriously.
4. In a month I will be flying to Florida to stay with my twin who very well may be a 50 year old man with nasty ideas (tho I'm sure you're not twin!

). If I can do it, you can do it! And you've got Ed to come along, I'm going ALONE (plus I'm only 18...)
5. I've met large fan club groups from the internet before (in Chicago no less!) and not a damn one of them were 50 year old men.

"It never ceases to amaze me. Here, we have a man who claims professes to enjoy flower arranging, has no qualms over donning a skirt at any given time and, now we learn, prefers to use the ladies' restroom. And yet somehow he manages to embody all that is masculine and sexy. I don't know how he does it. " ~Gina, on Adam
Gina: WOOHOO!

I've only been to Chi-town a couple of times, but I think it would DEFINITELY be worth it to cough up the cash to stay in a hotel downtown. That's where the action seems to be and both airports are farrrrr away. I say we get a big suite and have PLEBA indoor camping! Rent a few cots, bring some sleeping bags too. Get a suite that has a living room and kitchen so we can make food and save some $$.

To whomever is in charge of this operation...I offer my help coordinating. Just drop me an email.

I second Gina's post. Thanks so much for the offer, Sula! You will be hearing from one or both of us, I'm sure.

Thanks!

You are all really cracking me up with this 50 year old man thing

All I'm gonna say is I'm 35 and Rick is 15 years older than me...you do the math!

If he comes with me, you just might have a very confused 50 year old man running around. But don't worry, he's not scary. All of my friends like hanging out with him more than me, cause he's a really funny guy. I told him he can only go if Ed goes though.

If he comes with you, you should warn him that I will be forced to call him "Rick, the Private Eye" for the entire duration of the convention

well i thought of a plan. i told my friend DIGI who went along with all my plans to drag ed to every U2 concert I could get him to...Ed likes to save money, I like to SPEND SPEND SPEND! we are a good team.

anyway, DIGI is all in favor of me going, and i told him since he went to chat once he could go with me if ed was worried.

Digi also alleviated my worries about prejudices against zombies. Zombies were people, too, you know.

And I thought, would'nt it be cool if we went along with this wedding theme and booked a big room at the hotel and hired a DJ and made him/her play all U2 all night? And we could hire a photographer to take photos??? HAHAHAH!!! The Clayton-Mullen wedding.....DAMN the grooms (brides?) are sexy!

<----about 85% sure she is coming. Will be convincing ed by upping the quota....

Well, I guess I can't prove that I'm not a 50 yr old man...but I KNOW I'm not

Even though I live in the land of retired people!

And I'm so excited about meeting PLEBA people...I'm still looking into the way I'm going to make it to Chicago..but I wouldn't miss this for the world! And my vote is for booking it under Clayton-Mullen wedding

REALLY??? You're COMING??? YAY YAY SUPER YAY!!!!!!!

 

[YellowKite]

You know what Elizabeth - as long as you bring the pants it wn't matter if you're a zombie or not - actually it will make it easier for a PANTS Across PLEBA exchange program if you are zombie like!

So, I imagine this scenario - A block of rooms for the Clayton-Mullen wedding and 20-30 giggling girls show up and one really confused 50 year old man!

Sounds like someone's been reading a little too much SLASH on the fanfic website!!!!!!

WTF?#!$@ Are there really stories involving our rhythym section together? Blech - [imo] - but I also don't get the girl-girl thing so many guys seem to lust over.
