ICSP 2015
Starting this one, as I just bought plane tickets! Hooray for drinking shenanigans, green shirts and one to many Irish Car bombs that will most likely be had. "Costumed march & revelry thru Detroit Sunday morning"
March 20-22nd!
SEE ALL YOU FABULOUS PEOPLE THERE <3333
/// LINC EDIT ///
This is an Icrontic boardgaming & party weekend starting 4pm Thursday night. You can show up earlier, just let us know. You can stay overnight; there is limited space in the main room and plenty of space in the attic if you don't mind lots of blankets. Please don't drink and drive.
On Sunday morning, we will prepare our flasks and thermal mugs and take a 10-minute walk to Midtown, where we will participate in the Marche Du Nain Rouge (website has not been updated with 2015 dates yet). Red is the color of the day, and silly costumes are recommended but not required. We'll march for maybe an hour, then scatter to find a warm meal and head back to the house. If we make it to the end of the march, there is a short, fun pep rally to drive the "red devil" from the city and herald in springtime.

I'm still 'new', am I allowed to partake in the festivities? Is there an initiation of some sorts? ;-)
Yes you're allowed. Yes there's an initiation - it usually involves getting greeted by everyone there.
Pretty much like "Hey! Nice to finally meet you!" And then you come in and drink
Starting to think this is a maybe for me now.
Also hugs. Hugs are pretty much mandatory. @Linc gets grumpy if he doesn't get hugs from everyone.
It's true. Hugs do tend to be a standard greeting upon arrival.
I've never gotten so many bro hugs as I did at my first IC event. Great stuff.
Didn't think I was going to make it up until today. Now it looks like there may be a chance after all.
