I'd really like to come to one of these. Not really up for a 2100+ mile road trip though, nor do I have the spare cash to spend $600 on plane tickets.

Oh well. Have fun everyone. Maybe one day one of these meetups will coincide with me taking a business trip to Cali or something :D

Unless there's some obsidian and native gold lying around, I don't think I can spare time from my work schedule to adventure my way to the west cost.  Slaying elves along the way, though -- i have to admit -- does sound like fun.

I really wish I could come, meet the legends in person. Meet the other madmen who play this sadistic game...
Unfortunately I live in Toronto, which is kinda on the other end of the continent. None of my friends play DF so driving alone ain't an option =/

Huh...  I have two people who actually voted for the "bus load."  I assume they are jokes, since I haven't heard anything about them.  If I don't get notice I can't really make sure we have space for you if you are indeed bringing a bus load of people!

I wish I could make it, but the distance is just too far.  I pity your tourguide for the caverns.

If I had a bus I'd be bringing a busload.

As it stands, it is looking like my funding is not going to be sufficient to assist financially with the Colorado Caravan. I'll still go if there is space in there for me, but right now I'm not sure we'll get that off the ground. We'll see though. Still got a month-ish, and I'm not sure where we are at with it currently.

I'd go, but I'm in Missouri and the only place I get to choose to go to this time is Germany. (If I even want to do that =/)

It's honestly ironic in it's own kind of way.

I play adventure mode because it's hard and when I play, I am too.
I believe we're talking about full scale colonisation here.  You don't just leave all your shit in the van when you move house.

Alright, I checked you guys down on the 'not attending' column.   Once every other person registered on the DF forum posts here we'll have an accurate headcount.

Ah, but you have this wonderful poll to gauge the attendance. Looks like you'll have 29 + 2 busloads. Lets be conservative and say a busload is 40, plus the driver. So you have about 111 people coming.

Someone should totally bribe two greyhound drivers to tape "Dwarf Fortress!" signs to their buses and make a stop by where you're gathering just to make Rainseeker freak out over where to put everyone.

The joke I made is that we've had more people posting in the thread to tell us they're not coming than we've had people telling us they are, despite asking twice for that not to happen.

Just out of curiosity, how often can we expect something like this to happen? cus if this was next year instead of this year, I'd have been able to do it.

Alright, I'll talk to Rainseeker about rescheduling this for 2012.
