Icrontic road trip: Epic goes to Chicago

Every once in awhile something rare happens....

solar eclipse

blind squirrel finds a nut

sun shines on a dog's arse

primesuspect leaves warren...

There is a long span of time between ICLAN08 in June and Oktoberfest in October with no IC Event... then as most IC epicness happens via IRC, Snarkasm says, "Hey LUDO is playing in Chicago, wanna meet halfway?"

So, as Icrontic Party Planner, IT IS DONE.

ICRONTIC IS GONNA SMASH THE_TECHNOCRAT'S HOUSE AND CHICAGO!

update: the warped tour was too expensive just to see Ludo play for 30 minutes. But as always, a good event coordinator has a plan B!)

Icrontic Goes on a Road Trip:
WHEN: August 1st 6pm - August 3rd


So all you kiddies know the deal. POST HERE IF YOU THINK YOU WILL ATTEND.

We will have many more details coming in also.

the list so far:
keebler
primesuspect
tiberiuslazerus
snarkasm
gnome queen
fatcat
HOSTESS:
the_technocrat

You guys are such stalkers. Or at least Prime is. I guess I HAVE to come.

I got Ludo signed just so they would tour, knowing that they'd get on the warped tour, and knowing that it is right by your house.

I win the 2008 stalking award

At least YOU'RE not crazy

I have only stalked you once...wait...you said Prime didn't you..
Probably shouldn't have told you that should I. Well IF YOU HAVEN"T READ IT THEN DON'T. If you have I was just joking

I like the Rise Against song on Guitar Hero, "Prayer of the Refugee". "Give It All" is good too.

HAHAHA Gym Class Heroes are going to be there too.

I think she means her parents' place. She interchanges the terms "home" and "my place" quite often. It gets confusing.

Ok, after some conversation the plan has changed.

We are going to Chicago to hang out with the_technocrat for the weekend. IC will be giving him his MOTY award, and he will be giving us a tour of Chicago!

If anyone else wants to go just let me know, as this will be a great time to hang with the owners of icrontic and some people tied in very close with the framework of icrontic!

Thank you tt for being a host!

What's the schedule for all this? Beginning on August 2 or beginning on August 1? I'm considering coming up for the weekend since it's becoming an awesome hangout instead of the concert specifically.

A lot of us would likely be arriving the night of the 1st, hanging out the 2nd and heading back mid-day/late the 3rd. It'd be awesome having GH there too!
