[Zach Tartell]

A Duel for Duals awarded a full playset of Duals to the winner. The competition that you have descirbed is more of a Dual Land Draft.

Still pretty cool though. I hope you get a million people so people will stop complaining that nobody plays on the west coast.

[Volt]

[TeenieBopper]

So, who from Syracuse is going to this?

[Nightmare]

Baaaahahahahah!

[Peter_Rotten]

prizes are guaranteed regardless of attendance.

This is vital to good attendance. I commend the guarantee.

Now advertise the fuck out of this. And then advertise again at the end of May/beginning again. Make some fliers. Lots of fliers. Pass them out now. And again in May/June. Go to all dork locations and ask permission to post those fliers or leave a stack on their counters.

Guaranteed prizes + mucho advertising = no bath for you.

[AngryTroll]

Chris already made a stack about 8 inches thick of buisiness cards with all the relevant info on them. Some stayed at Batcave, some at Ancient Wonders, some here in Corvallis, some went back to Seattle.

Yeah, I doubt any East Coast players are willing to fly all the way here to scrub out to vastly superior West Coast players.

[Volt]

.

[Peter_Rotten]

Like I said: just make sure to do it again closer to tourney time. Us dorks sometimes get forgetful.

[TeenieBopper]

Baaaahahahahah!

Dude, it'd be freaking awesome and you know it.


Yeah, I doubt any East Coast players are willing to fly all the way here to scrub out to vastly superior West Coast players.

Not gonna lie, if I had an extra couple hundred bucks, I'd make the trip and crash at my cousin's house in Seattle then drive down (up?).

[Zach Tartell]

Has anyone ever driven from one coast to the other? I'd totally do this for like a week either way, just to see the weird shit that you'd surely see on a trip like this.

Two or three other stout adventurers want to think about this with me? If it's less than like a hundred thousand dollars in gas, of course.

[Bardo]

Not gonna lie, if I had an extra couple hundred bucks, I'd make the trip and crash at my cousin's house in Seattle then drive down (up?).

Down. Vancouver, British Columbia -- immenently more awesome in every conceivable way than Vantucky, Washington -- is north. Vantucky lies to the south, right on the Washington-Oregon border (it's about 180 miles; 2.5-3 hours drive from Seattle to Portland/The Couv').


Has anyone ever driven from one coast to the other?

Yeah. It's awesome--though quite a long drive for a Magic tournament. :) Like, really, really long.

While remote, it would be freaking awesome if anyone outside our little region could make it.

[Volt]

.

[Deep6er]

Just out of curiosity, aren't these in the same location that runs the proxies allowed tournaments? Won't that cause a bit of consternation? Seems to me that drawing in players with proxies, and then saying that you can't do that now would be a bit of a mixed message. Not trying to hate, just trying to advise.

[Volt]

.

[Deep6er]

Oh, that's unfortunate. OK, in that case, nothing to fear. Hopefully you have a good turnout. I would totally go to this, if I could teleport. However, I AM working on that. So, maybe something will happen soon. :)

[mujadaddy]

If it's less than like a hundred thousand dollars in gas, of course.

I just drove 20 hours each way with four (well 2+2 kids+luggage) in the car, and I needed 3.3 fillups @ ~$30 per = $100 per 20 hours.

Google Maps calls it at 41 hours from Oswego, NY to Vancouver, WA, so you're looking at ~$200 in gas each way, presuming you have a car with sane mileage.

[Volt]

.

[Deep6er]

Yeah, those bastards are always trying so hard to coordinate your plane. Bunch of bitches.

If anybody is actually crazy enough to come out here from anywhere east of the Rockies, I will personally pay your entry fee and put you up at my place. I live a half hour from the Batcave. I have room for 3 guests. First 3 to respond are in.

Huh. I really want to consider doing this, now.

[mujadaddy]

Huh. I really want to consider doing this, now.

Yeah, unfortunately, my 3 passengers were all on my dime so I couldn't split it up. $400 between 3 people isn't an insane* amount of gas money.

Genius. We all know oil companies play Prison.

It'd be pretty sweet to see some of you guys from the East Coast make it out here. That way I can be even more zealous of shoving the tournament in the face of those that don't make it "because others probably won't", as some friends have been known to say.

Indeed. Also, if a bunch East coasters make it out to this, I'll see what I can do about flying to the next DLD up in Syracuse/NoVa. For serious.

In all honesty, at the very least every serious Legacy player who lives in Oregon or Washington should be at this thing, no excuses.

[Giles]

I might have missed Januray's, but i am not missing this shit.

[Zach Tartell]

Ok, I just Jet-Blue'd this sucker and it turned out to be $610 round trip from Syracuse to Portland (I didn't know if this was better than Seatle). Each. Seems like driving out and spending as much as $300 on gass and a hundred eating either way, $500 might be more fiscally responsible.

Is anyone actually thinking about doing this?

Edit: Seattle is the same, or $150 more. Go figure.

Is anyone actually thinking about doing this?Portland is MUCH closer to Vancouver, WA than Seattle is.

Also consider that you can sleep in your car, and drive around, versus the convenience of not having to drive for 4 days each way.

[Volt]

.

[mujadaddy]

QFT. Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA are separated by a river which happens to also serve as the state boundary. Vancouver and Seattle are separated by 160 miles of highway.

Road-tripping it sounds like fun to me. Too bad I'm already here. :wink:

My sister lives in Seattle. Unfortunately, it's an 18 hour drive from Denver to either place, then another 3 between her house & Vancouver. Likelihood of my attendance: 12% :frown: :cry:

[Pinder]

Yeah, it seems like it would be a lot cheaper to just pile 4-5 people in a big van or something and split gas/food at ~$100-200 per person. It would require a significantly larger time investment, but you'd also get to see a lot of cool shit on the way (ever seen Mt. Rushmore? It's smaller than you think it is).

[mujadaddy]

(ever seen Mt. Rushmore? It's smaller than you think it is).I haven't. Thanks for ruining it. :tongue:

[zulander]

Don't forget to advertise on other sites if you're able to. Some sites that come to mind are scg, manadrain, mtg salvation and mtg.com. Anyone know any other sites as well? I really want this to do amazing for you guys.

[Getsickanddie]

Is anyone actually thinking about doing this?

Yes. I'm looking at sub $450 roundtrip tickets via Northwest airlines.

[Volt]

.

[zulander]

I doubt I'd be able to fly out there unles I make a ton of money selling pimp extended cards and using it to fund my trip. What's the best airport to get to the place, portland? I also wont be able to take off time from for a week to drive there.

[Volt]

.

[tatt2dfreak]

Yea, PDX is only like 5 miles from the Cave... if you do come, let a local know and we can meet you at the airport and take you to the cave!

[DeathwingZERO]

Ya, the airport is literally hopping over the river from Batcave. You could even fly in that morning (give yourself time) and one of us from P-Town can get you on the way right there.

So in case it hasn't been hit yet, Northwest Magic is probably another good forum to run this to. I'd do it, but I don't even remember what my login info was for that place, I haven't posted there in like 2 years.

[TeenieBopper]

Is anyone actually thinking about doing this?


Yes. I've been staring at Mapquest for the past half hour thinking about how totally fucking awesome it would be to drive across the country for this.

My car gets 300 miles to a tank, $35 to fill up (that's in NY, it'd be a few bucks cheaper in most of the states we pass through), 20 fill ups total. Given four people, that's $175 a person for gas. If we're taking someone's personal car, everyone should probably pitch in $20 for oil changes, 'cause 6000 miles isn't great for an engine. Plus $100 for food, no expenses for sleeping in WA or entry fees thanks to Volt (<3), and maybe $50 a person for a hotel on the way there and back. I'd only want to stop once each way. Not even I have the stamina for a 40 hour marathon driving session. So yeah, we could probably get away with doing this for $400 a person. Keep in mind, a lot of that cost would be offset by the duals we'd win (zomg, coast to coast trashtalking! Think of the possibilities!)

Seriously, can you think of a good reason not to do this? Leave on a monday or tuesday, get into WA on thursday or friday, Play in the tourney on saturday, relax on sunday, leave on monday again and get back in NY on thursday. Even better, there's two completely different routs to take that are only about 50 miles different that take you through entirely different states. Granted, one is 3 hours longer than the other, but at 80 hours total, what difference does it make?

If you're committed to finding 3-4 other people to do this Zach, I'd start turning tricks on the corner to come up with the cash, too.

[Pinder]

Yes. I've been staring at Mapquest for the past half hour thinking about how totally fucking awesome it would be to drive across the country for this.


<3. Oh, and btw the 29th of June is a Sunday. Just so you know. All it basically does is shift your plans a day forward, though.

[TeenieBopper]

<3. Oh, and btw the 29th of June is a Sunday. Just so you know. All it basically does is shift your plans a day forward, though.

I'd be perfectly alright with that. I think it works out somehow to needing to request one less day off. Not to mention I know a lot of people from the Portland/Seattle/Vancouver area that I wouldn't mind meeting up with on a Saturday.

[Pinder]

Not to mention I know a lot of people from the Portland/Seattle/Vancouver area that I wouldn't mind meeting up with on a Saturday.

FWIW, there's also a Legacy tourney every Saturday in Arlington, WA at the Mirkwood for store credit, too. They have duals there.

[AngryTroll]

Wow, if you guys made it, it would be nothing but crazy Legacy at Chris' place for several days, interrupted with a Dual Land Draft at Batcave. Seriously, that would be awesome. I live in LO, but would basically live at Chris' place for the weekend. Sweet.

[DeathwingZERO]

Ya, this thing is sounding to be much more supported than I originally anticipated. Chris should get mad props for putting this thing together and offering a place to stay for the out of towners. That's just awesome.

Local Man Quoted on Internet Forums
Authorities speculate it was "for truth"

Seriously Chris, awesome job. Consider your propers rendered.

[xsockmonkeyx]

I am considering going to this, even with the 12 hour+ drive. Maybe if I look for plane tickets now I can get some kind of super discount or something and it would be cheaper :cool:

[DeathwingZERO]

Drag a friend or two along, and make it a road trip. I did that with my trip down to Cali, the 12 hours went by insanely fast with a buddy and our music collection together. Just make sure to have an extra hundred or two in case you have anything go bad on the way here or back. Better to be safe than stranded.

[tatt2dfreak]

I have a full size van, so I can drive those who fly in around as needed...

[FakeSpam]

This is Nightmare, on Fakespam's computer. There are at least three to four of us who are seriously considering driving across the country to attend this event. Like, for serious. We're making plans to turn it into a Summer Roadtrip Vacation, shitty roadside attractions and all. Get fucking excited.

[Di]

Then you best thank the lord I can't attend, because otherwise your trip would be a hell of a lot worse as you find yourself sitting in the frown side of the elimination rounds again.

That'd be awesome if you guys do it though. Just don't scrub. Going 0-X in a countrywide road trip is upsetting.

[Jak]

Preparing for excitement.

Edit- Not to be an ass to Di, but have you thought about not bringing him? You then will be able to get some duals because he won't be ther to whip your ass.

Edit 2- LOL!

[revenge_inc]

I will post this in the local forums for Vancouver BC closer to the date. I know some of them drive down to Seattle for PTQ's so it may be worth a try.

[Di]

I'm prohibited by law to not be able to leave New York state, so he escapes the jaws of death. :( I'd love to go if I could though. $400 for a trip like that is awesome.

I really want you guys to do it. And bring a video camera.

[Pinder]

<---------------------- Is fucking excited.

[Pinder]

And bring a video camera.

Seconded.

[revenge_inc]

And bring a video camera.

You don't need to drive across the country for this. At the next big tournament whether it is in UpstateNY, NoVA, West Coast or anywhere someone should bring a camera.

[TeenieBopper]

That'd be awesome if you guys do it though. Just don't scrub. Going 0-X in a countrywide road trip is upsetting.

Who gives a shit? The tournament itself is just a flimsy excuse to go on the trip. The trip itself is the reason to go. I could go 0-2 drop or X-0 and either way I wouldn't give a shit, as long as I have a totally kick ass story to tell when I got home.

But yeah, so far it's myself, Nightmare, lonelybaritone, and getsickanddie who are committed to trying to make this happen.

[Volt]

.

[xsockmonkeyx]

If four of you are going to carpool out here, I suppose I can find room to squeeze one more person into my place for the weekend. I have a futon, a couch, and an inflatable air mattress. That covers 3 people, so someone would have to sleep on the floor. You might want to bring a sleeping bag or something.

:/ no love for the monkey?

[TeenieBopper]

All of us being veterans of past road trips, I think it's safe to say that any one of us is perfectly comfortable sleeping on a floor. You think that when we put up 10+ Virginians they all have something soft to sleep on? Pfft. And if someone wants to be a whiny bitch, I too have an inflatable air mattress that we could probably bring.

The real question, however, is how long you want to put up with us for. I think ideally it'd work out so that we get into town friday, relax on saturday, tourney on sunday, relax on monday, leave on tuesday. It's entirely possible that we'd bounce on monday, too, depending on how hectic sunday is.

Fuck PM's, this is the official planning thread, too.

Being five months away, it's entirely possible for this whole thing to fall through, but the four of us seriously want to do this

[Volt]

.

[xsockmonkeyx]

PROTIP: Oregon is the microbrew capital of the world, or so I hear.:wink:

[TeenieBopper]

Friday night, saturday night, sunday night. We can work with that :-p

[Getsickanddie]

I could go 0-2 drop or X-0 and either way I wouldn't give a shit, as long as I have a totally kick ass story to tell when I got home.

Oh the stories will be glorious.

I'm so fucking excited.

I don't care if I go 0-2 drop (which will almost certainly happen), I do however have some goals.

1.) Score some black tar heroine.
2.) Kill no less than three hookers.
3.) Visit Mt. Rushmore, and inevitably, be disappointed.
4.) Make a phone call to lonelybaritone's family informing them that their son was killed by a transient.
5.) Make sweet love to Nightmare in Yellowstone National Park after saving him from a bear attack.

[Pinder]

1.) Score some black tar heroine.

They don't have this where you're from?


2.) Kill no less than three hookers.

A noble endeavor.


3.) Visit Mt. Rushmore, and inevitably, be disappointed.

*sigh*...yeah. If it's any consolation, the Washington Monument was a ton larger than I thought it would be.


4.) Make a phone call to lonelybaritone's family informing them that their son was killed by a transient.

Well, yeah. I guess I could see how that could be fun.


5.) Make sweet love to Nightmare in Yellowstone National Park after saving him from a bear attack.
You're bringing Elgins with you? Also, gives whole new meaning to the term 'Old Faithful'.

[Getsickanddie]

They don't have this where you're from?

Honestly, I've never really looked for it. I just figured since two of my compatriots are bound to be killed(lonelybaritone)/arrested (Teeniebopper for statutory rape would be my guess) it will dull the pain of having to whore myself out to old men to fund my trip home.

[TeenieBopper]

Now that would be an awesome story:

How I got nailed for stat rape on the other side of the country: The cautionary tale of TheSource's own TeenieBopper.

Don't be surprised. Most of the chicks out here that pass for 22 are 14. I'm damn serious, it's actually scary. When your dick is the one telling your eyes that they're wrong, you've got a damn good time figuring out which is right.

It's actually pretty damn sweet that you guys are willing to do this though. It'd be good to actually bullshit with the guys I've only got pictures to place to the account.

And yes, our Microbrews are bountiful, and cheap. You could get shitfaced without even having to leave the same corner in some areas of Portland.

[Zach Tartell]

Remember that one episode from 30 Rock?


Let me tell you something about twenty year olds, man. Half of them are 16.

[Nightmare]

Trevor, you forgot about walking Teeniebopper into a truckstop trannie debacle. That should be #6 on the list.

[TeenieBopper]

This cannot possibly end well.

[Bardo]

4.) Make a phone call to lonelybaritone's family informing them that their son was killed by a transient.

Insert "repeatedly sodomized and then" between "was" and "killed."

[Zach Tartell]

I sent my mom this conversation and she laughed.

[DeathwingZERO]

This is starting to sound like some terrible Final Destination storyline arc. Is there a such thing as a bad thing that's worse than the original being better? Cause I think we just found it....

I'm fairly certain TeenieBopper would just smack his dick until it agrees with him. He just doesn't care.

[TeenieBopper]

The whole national sex offender database/registry thing would really put a damper on my finding a job in New York. Just saying.

[DeathwingZERO]

That, and Oregon isn't very nice with the prosecution portion of sex offense crimes. They might release them early from the sentence, but you'll spend plenty of time in jail just for the paperwork portion.

[TeenieBopper]

I guess it's settled then.

First Rule of TheSource Roadtrip '08- Don't have sex with twelve year olds.

First Rule of TheSource Roadtrip '08- Don't have sex with twelve year olds.

Good start. I'm sure there's going to be more as we add up various things that can be done in an entire weekend of your visit. Mostly it's just hitting bars or clubs, Portland (and Vancouver) really doesn't have much else.

[Getsickanddie]

clubs

I hope you mean strip clubs. How are the tittie bars in the Portland/Vancouver area?

I also just realized this trip will allow me to finally live one of my dreams. Eat at an In-N-Out burger joint. I've heard amazing stories of delicious vittles. EDIT: God damn it. The closest one in No. Cal. is still really far away. If anybody coming up from Cali. could bring me a double double I'd gladly pay them 2x!! yes 2x!!! the price of the burger.

Edit #2: Just make sure it's bodily fluid free.

[Tosh]

I will most likely be there. :D


Eat at an In-N-Out burger joint. I've heard amazing stories of delicious vittles.
They're really not that fantastic (then again I don't like beef burgers).

[DeathwingZERO]

Of course I mean strip clubs.

The clubs out here are pretty damn good for the money (you know, fully accepting you are tossing money away on chicks NOT sleeping with you). Most of the places are 21+, so they typically have a really cheap ($3-5, typically) entry fee, and drinks aren't unreasonable for the most part. Full nudity also = awesome lap dances.

It's probably been a little bit under 2 years since I've visited some of my usual stops, so I have no clue where to find my favorite dancers, which sucks for me. But for the most part the better known places all have a pretty damn nice array of hot womens. Weekends are very obviously good for this, especially Friday nights.

And In-N-Out, honestly if I knew they would last 3-4 hours without going bad, I'd totally give you an order on that stop. I seriously miss that place, it's still my favorite fast food burger joint of all time. Half my family up here have written the owner's about trying to get them to push up here, but there's never a solid answer about it.

[Getsickanddie]

Awesome stuff about strip clubs and Burgers

I'm grinning from ear to ear right now. I can't wait to stuff dollar bills in g-strings with the Northwest Legacy community.

[Nightmare]

(you know, fully accepting you are tossing money away on chicks NOT sleeping with you).
Between Trevor's strip clubs, and me and Mike being, well, me and Mike, I'm pretty sure this is something we're quite familiar with.

[AngryTroll]

Well, this is going to be awesome. I call floor at Chris' place.

Don't worry, I doubt they'll charge you anything to sit in the corner and stare at the floor.

[DeathwingZERO]

My biggest night out was with a friend for his official send off to the East Coast for his new job and life, etc. He and I got into a little race on getting the same chicks to give us lap dances and going to the rack when they were up, etc.

I'm pretty sure that put me back just under $400. In comparison to some nights I've heard from said friend and his buddies, that can sometimes be the high average for fellow patrons.

[Pinder]

Don't worry, I doubt they'll charge you anything to sit in the corner and stare at the floor.

And as a bonus, I don't think any of the guys there would hit on you like they usually do.

[TeenieBopper]

Also, I'm not sure that titty bars are the best plan - I get way too generous when I'm drunk.

I so want to check "avoid highways" just to see what the route would look like.

[Nightmare]

The more I think about this, the more staggering a prospect it becomes. Figure on 10 hours driving per day, averaging 60MPH, is 600 miles per day. That's 4.5 days worth of driving all together, one way.

[Jak]

Think of all the things you will see!!!

[zulander]

Don't drive 60, go 90. Also, apparently VA is thinking of doing a cross country road trip stopping by vegas/grand canyon and what not. Idk though, but we'll see lol.

I'm not actually considering avoiding highways. I'm not that insane. What it'd be is 75 mph for 20 hours at a time, stopping one night to sleep in a real bed. We'd get there in like three days.

Don't puss out or nothing.

I'm not actually considering avoiding highways. I'm not that insane. What it'd be is 75 mph for 20 hours at a time, stopping one night to sleep in a real bed. We'd get there in like three days.

Don't puss out or nothing.

Shit, one person could do this in three days. Let's just round-robin drive and make it there in two days. Stopping for sleep is for chumps. I'll just sleep for eighteen hours before the tournament and top eight with a terrible deck again.

When I just drove a 20-hour trip, we did it with 2 drivers -- one for about 14 hours, one for about 6 (I did the first 8 and the last 6).

It was brutal. We stopped in the middle on the way back.

Yeah, we'd round robin the 20 hour shift, obviously. I don't want to stop a lot because that's more money we'd have to spend.

But seriously, 40 hours at a time? That's insane. Pass on that.

[Bardo]

The more I think about this, the more staggering a prospect it becomes. Figure on 10 hours driving per day, averaging 60MPH, is 600 miles per day. That's 4.5 days worth of driving all together, one way.

That's because you drive slower than my grandmother. And she's dead.

I've only driven across the country once (solo), but it would have taken 3 days if I didn't get distracted. Got a late start on day 1 and ended outside Joliet, Indiana; Day 2 I drove ~ 950 miles from Indiana to Wyoming (it took months for the guts of 500,000 bugs to get cleaned off my car going through Nebraska). Wyoming (which is the most awful god-forsaken craphole I've ever seen in my life) is a hard day's ride from PDX, but doable.

Once you get west of Illinois, you can comfortably average around 85 or so mph with little fear of getting a speeding ticket.

[mujadaddy]

But seriously, 40 hours at a time? That's insane. Pass on that.

It skirts the limit of What Is Possible, surely.

[AngryTroll]

Yeah, with 4 drivers in a car, even relatively easy shifts of 3 hours at a time is 12 hours a day. You can even do shifts of 2 hours, twice, and then have eight hours of sleep/run around outside of the car time.

[quicksilver]

So I drafted up a budget plan and for a proposed virginina trip seeing all the sights and all will probably make this 14 days of travel and well over $1000 per person for just food gas and lodging. Just to let you guys know, flying will almost certainly be the most ecinomical, especially since you don't lose money from taking time off from work.

Personally I would love to make it there, we'll have to see if I can afford it and if enough other people can too, we might have to do combined epic unicorn if not too many people can afford this.

[Pinder]

$1000 a person? 14 days? What are you guys planning on doing? Cocaine? And hookers?

[freakish777]

$1000 a person? 14 days? What are you guys planning on doing? Cocaine? And hookers?


Dude, that's how the East Coast rolls.



EDIT:



Has anyone ever driven from one coast to the other?

Yes, driving through the southwest (granted that wouldn't be involved), was utterly mind-numbing. Drove from Ventura CA to Rochester NY. Fuck. That. And. Fly. If you get plane tickets now, you're looking at $200~300.

[Deep6er]

Wait... isn't that how it's supposed to go? Also, buying off the police. That's important too. Don't you spend in excess of a thousand dollars for whenever you road trip? Are hookers that cheap where you're from?

Dude, lay off the trannies. I know they're cheap, but seriously. Ew. Gross. :)

[mujadaddy]

$1000 a person? 14 days? What are you guys planning on doing? Cocaine? And hookers?

You obviously don't have the money to play Legacy competitively.

In fact, forget playing Legacy....!

[TeenieBopper]

. Fuck. That. And. Fly. If you get plane tickets now, you're looking at $200~300.

Fuck that. I'm only interested in driving. It's the journey that matters, not the destination. Shit, if someone came up to me and said, "I'll pay for your ticket to WA," I'd be like fuck that. I've no interest in flying across the country to play magic. This is about driving across the country just because, with the flimsy excuse of a magic tourney as the justification.

Someone should probably see if Zilla is alive before then. I'm not even sure he believes tournaments exist anymore. Or in anything beyond his front door, for that matter. At least I assume it's that way.

@Frogboy: They can take your shitty Washington bud, but I'd like to keep as much Oregon homegrown in the area as I can. Anything else they can take back with them. I hear our shrooms are good around that time. <3 forests in everyone's backyard.

Want2start planning. We need to decide what kind of stuff we want to do on the road (where we want to stop, etc.) soon, so I can start drafting an itinerary. Also, I plan to bring my laptop and blog this shit.

[Zach Tartell]

I love how this started off a Dual Land Draft announcement and has degenerated into "four guys plan on driving across the United States - let's watch"

[Nightmare]

So what? It's awesome.

I had no idea how many amazing things were in Western South Dakota. You've got Rushmore, the Hot Springs, and... that's about it. But two is still a lot more than I expected!

By the way, we're going to be on the same road literally the entire fucking way. Route 90 (NYers know it better as the Thruway) runs the entire distance across the country, all the way to Seattle, WA. We don't move from it on the latest route until fucking Ritzville, WA.

[quicksilver]

I love how this started off a Dual Land Draft announcement and has degenerated into "four guys plan on driving across the United States - let's watch"

The unicorns, so far myself, Kreiger, The hatfields, and Gearhart, are also looking into planning a cross country road trip for this too. It should be great times.

[Nightmare]

We should converge somewhere in the midwest.

[Parcher]

Your route seems pretty solid. We've done dick for planning so far, cause we don't all have the same team boards, but we'll let you cats know our plans as they develop.

[Pinder]

Route 90 (NYers know it better as the Thruway) runs the entire distance across the country, all the way to Seattle, WA.

They have I-90 where you're from? Dear God that road is long.

[quicksilver]

They have I-90 where you're from? Dear God that road is long.

Yes it is the main road connecting the upsate ny cites. It's how I go from Rocehster to syracuse.

Also the longest road in the country I beleive is route 6, which I grew up on being the main road through my town. It goes from provencetown Mass (the very tip of the cape) all the way to california. It's not a major highway for the most of it, mostly just 1-2 lane road (each way) with tons of traffic lights.

[Ewokslayer]

They have I-90 where you're from? Dear God that road is long.

Yeah it is pretty amazing those interstates go between the states.

[Nightmare]

Also the longest road in the country I beleive is route 6,Wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_20

[quicksilver]

Ok I looked it up, 6 used to be the longest but had most of it's california part dropped from it in a highway renumbering project, bumping it to second behind 20.

[frogboy]

I-90 doesn't get you to Portland, I-84 does.

[Bardo]

I-90 doesn't get you to Portland, I-84 does.

I-90 gets you to northern Utah, then you pick up I-84 outside Salt Lake City. Utah is pretty but otherwise a cultural blight on the landscape except as a conveyance to and fro Las Vegas.

The fuck you talking about "planning?" Get in the car and drive for 20 hours. Stop. Rest. Get in the car and drive to WA.

Stops costs money and time. Just saying.


Yeah, even though the thread in the unicorn forums has been up for longer than your post of "zomg ima de coola"

If you plan to drive non stop, with no actual respect for the stuff along the way, then why not just fly? Yeah, we want to get there as expediently as possible. That doesn't mean we can't check out some shit on the way.

Because you know what happens if we stop to do anything other than buy food and piss? We're goign to sit there for at least an hour, probably more, especially if it's some sort of roadside attraction. What's going to be a forty hour drive is going to turn into a 50+ hour drive. I find it incredibly odd that I"m arguing about this with the dude who was worried about getting the time off. The $400 I sketched out earlier? That's entirely shoestring and doesn't take into account entry into whatever stops we make. That shit's going to add up fast for those of us not making 60 grand a year.

I want to see Rushmore, and then maybe a couple of unplanned stops along the way there and back. The magic is in the spontaneity too.

[quicksilver]

Flying is more economical than driving, especially so if you are taking time off from work to drive. If you are gonna drive then stop and see the sights, otherwise just fly.

[Pinder]

Yeah it is pretty amazing those interstates go between the states.

[Nightmare]

I'll be getting paid time off for this, so it's a moot point to me. I was only concerned about how much time I'd need to take off because I was planning on other trips this year. As of now, those are gonna take a back seat to this.

Testicle Festival


Rock Creek - Clinton, Montana - Testicle Festival
This year is the 25th anniversary of Rock Creek's annual Testicle Festival. Because the past few years it has been cold and wet, we have changed 2007's dates to August 1-5. We are only a 10 hour drive from Sturgis, SD and this year the Sturgis rally officially starts on August 6th. So stop on by and help us celebrate our 25th anniversary on your way to Sturgis! See ya there. [Nel-Lani, 05/07/2007]

Apparently they don't like their testicles being cold and wet.

Personally I'll pass on this one, I'd much rather go see the second-largest ball of twine on earth. Which is only four short hours away.

Flying is more economical than driving, especially so if you are taking time off from work to drive. If you are gonna drive then stop and see the sights, otherwise just fly.

Absolutely. Drive if you want the adventure; fly if you just want to get there and back. Driving, however, would be eminently more interesting and memorable. Hell, some of you might not even make it back. Now that would make for a good, albeit grim, story (e.g. LonelyBaritone and the deranged transient).

[kirdape3]

I think the transient would be providing a needed public service.

Also, unless you really, REALLY like the physical process of travelling, you are fucking dumber than bricks. Fly out there and spend moar time with heroin and hookers, rather than spend all the time in a car with a bunch of guys.

[DeathwingZERO]

The green's good, the alcohol's good, and the women are good. If you've got no reason to visit things, I'd be in on the agreeing to fly myself. Spending more time here would probably cost quite a bit more though. At least if you like beer, womens, and greenery.

But I'd be much more down for a 40-60 hour/roughly 4-5 day road trip across country than flying it. There's a reason they're called "Passover States".

@Frogboy: Did you call me a hippie? Cause I'm pretty sure a good curbstomping would take that image of me right outta your mind.

Meh. Having been all over the country many times (not much oversees, sadly), the women are nothing to brag about, the bud is fine (esp. if you go south, particularly northern CA where the Insanity Buds are really cheap) and the booze is passable--nothing more special than the NE microbreweries.

Let's see, what makes Oregon really special?

* (Until recently) Highest minimum wage in the country. (Now it's Washington at $8.07/hr)

* Legalized doctor-assisted suicide (um, yeah)

* 0% sales tax

* Birthplace of Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons) and Lindsay Wagner (who played the "Bionic Woman")

* In agriculture, Oregon leads the country in growing peppermint, blackberries, boysenberries, loganberries (!!!), black raspberries, and hazelnuts. (Yum!)

* Oregon is home to the world’s shortest river. "The D River" is only 121 feet long. (Approximately 726 times the size of Di's penis.)

* The only state, other than scenic New Jersey, where full service gas stations are mandatory (no self-serve)

* Random fucked up fact: It is against the law in Myrtle Creek to box with a kangaroo. (Blow-torch to the eyeballs, Kangaroo Jack!)

* Oregon has the only nickel smelter in the United States. (In your face, Australia!)

* Two mammals are unique to Oregon - the Camas pocket gopher and the Ashland shrew. (Tastes great on a pita with humus; with a side of thistles and bitter radish dressing.)

* State Animal: State animal: American Beaver (Fuck yeah!11)

* Random fucked up fact: The Nike "swoosh" logo was designed by University of Oregon student Carolyn Davidson in 1964 -- four years after business undergrad Phil Knight and track coach Bill Bowerman founded the company they originally called Blue Ribbon Sports. Ms. Davidson was paid $35 dollars for her design.

* Fucking Seriously: Whorehouse Meadows in Harney County was exactly that during the days of the Old West. Setting up facilities under a canvas tent in the secluded meadow about a mile east of Fish Lake they would then meet up with cattle and sheep herders. In the 1960's the Bureau of Land Management issued a recreation map renaming the meadow, “Naughty Girl Meadows” But in 1971 the Oregon Geographic Names Board took strong objection to the change and brought their argument before federal arbiters. After ten years the old name was restored in 1981. (i.e. back to "Whorehouse Meadows!")


@Frogboy: Did you call me a hippie? Cause I'm pretty sure a good curbstomping would take that image of me right outta your mind.

Froggy's comment is apt: Witness your glacial turns against me playing TES a week ago. You're telling me you weren't burnt?

[thefreakaccident]

I will totally be there!!! (like a days' drive from SD.... Oh well!).


My buddy Devastator will be out of season and will be able to drive us both up there! (I got my permit taken away, LAME!)...

Of coarse, this is probably not possible, but I will try to fix it all up... I would enjoy to meet some fellow sourcers and win some duals (Although, I will probably sell them as we only need badlands and we don't want them).

OMG To Vancouver WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I was sadly 100% sober. That was the weekend after my first week in training, so I didn't smoke anything until I had gotten through most of the second week. My plays against you were from never piloting the deck before that tournament, and honestly, I'd say I made the best of the choices I had. Triple FoW by turn 4 off NO cantrips was just ridiculous, and you know it.

I actually never asked, how many FoW did you end up packing in opening hand on that second game? I was amazed at the fact that you literally had me beat without even needing a creature on the table.

[TeenieBopper]

Oh man, this is going to be so full of win. (http://www.pajiba.com/interstate-anthems.htm)

[DeathwingZERO]

That's definitely a bonus to a roadtrip over flying debate.

Roadtrips give you every incentive to copy your ENTIRE hard drive of music into MP3 collections. You know what you can do with 40 hours of driving? An entire documentary on the history of whatever music genre's you want.

Personally speaking, I can't say I ever had more fun listening to music than the road trip down to Cali, and that was only 11 hours. But 11 hours of driving, open roads, and metal......that's just epic.

[TeenieBopper]

Yeah, I was just talking to Nightmare. I came up with what I think is a good idea.

1. The only music we're allowed to listen to are mixed CD's and the radio.
2. No repeat artists on one CD. If you want a second song by the same artist, you've got to put it on a different CD.
3. No repeat songs over the CD's that you've personally made.

edit: fuck, this is going to be hard. AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n' Rosen, and Queen all have too many good road trip songs.

edit2: I think I might just say "fuck it" and put together an awesomely bad 80's metal CD.

edit3: And a pure Johnny Cash CD.

[DeathwingZERO]

Even without roadtrips, buddies and I have done random themed stuff like that. My favorite so far was a cd compilation a friend did based on a bunch of songs that were both 1) frequently on strip club rotations and 2) was at on point a major pop hit, and are still played regularly on one station or another.

EDIT: And Europe = Greatest One-Hit-Band EVAR.

[Bardo]

Triple FoW by turn 4 off NO cantrips was just ridiculous, and you know it.

I actually never asked, how many FoW did you end up packing in opening hand on that second game? I was amazed at the fact that you literally had me beat without even needing a creature on the table.

When your first two turns are as follows, you tend to end up with a grip of gold:

Turn 1: Delta -> Sea; Top
Turn 2: Dark Confidant
Turn 3: Beginning drawing tons of cards

To answer your question, I started G2 with 1 CSpell and a FoW in my opener. (Remember too, I used the CSpell on Burning Wish, not a FoW -- also I think I only drew 2 FoWs that game, not 3.)

That's a fine plan. I was surprised how many of my cds make terrible cross-country listening. Mix cds are definitely the way to go. Also, college radio in Iowa was surprisingly decent.

[freakish777]

It's the journey that matters, not the destination. Shit, if someone came up to me and said, "I'll pay for your ticket to WA," I'd be like fuck that.

I understand the journey being a big part of it, but if someone said they'd pay for my ticket, I'd take the time off work, go to the tournament, hang out with Bardo/Pinder/et al afterwards, and then explore a city I've never been too. To each their own (having driven across the country myself, and not enjoying driving heavy influences my decisions I guess).

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.” - Lao Tsu

I think all of the "go by airplane" advocates are missing the point of the adventure here. This is not about driving ~6000 to play in some random tournament on the other side of the country. No, this is an ADVENTURE. A great journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. A chance to be humbled by the lush expanse of Iowian prarie-land, to marvel at the absurd "Kum & Go" convenience stores in Nebraska, the stories of gargantuan cockroaches floating in a Super 8 motel toilet outside Salt Lake City, the jokes, drunken barfights in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This it "Epic," in the meaning of that term! Freaking philistines.

I kept a log of my sordid driving journey from New Jersey to Oregon and it's still a fun read.

Ya, I actually remember that now, you were cheating your draws for a few turns with Bob and Top because you basically had me on like 3-1 card advantage/threat (I think, if calculations of fetch + top activations + Bob + no need for casting critical spells after that). I also forgot the initial counter was a Cspell, not FoW. I still fully advocate you have some kind of voodoo to completely throw my game in the shitter anytime I play you. Even in playtesting you've swept me with no worries.

And if anybody wants a good roadtrip CD and can handle it (I'll admit, we're a select audience), Big Fat Box of Shit from Crotchduster is HILARIOUS for at least 2-3 hours on it's own. Chances are you'll hate these guys, or you'll be quoting "Mammal Sauce" for weeks after.

I have read On The Road and I honestly thing it's a boring pile of shit. On the other hand, if I'm not already traveling across the country around that time, and if you guys have room, I'd be totally down for this.

It's not so much about the tournament, Hollywood, as it is the trip in general, meeting and hanging with West Coasters that we would never normally have contact with out side of this forum (except when you are on the west coast and people "forget" to contact you....yeah Zilla I'm talking about you!), and doing what we all have in common and enjoy.

What kind of mileage does it get. With the addition of two more people, with options for a third I would guess, the possibility is there that gas would be cheaper that way.

Salvia...... still legal in NY, a green leafy substance that you smoke for an intense halicinagenic effect that lasts 20-30 min. You can buy this online and have it shipped to your home. It's new and is illegal in some states... and probably all soon. I have personally seen the effects it has on people, its pretty much fast acting acid that only lasts a lil while that looks and smokes like pot.

I haven't gauged the mileage without the trailer attached, I know when we're towing we get approx. 8mpg, but that's towing w/ 6 people + personal effects for a month. I would assume it's around 12-15mpg.

You can easily fit 6 dudes in the vehicle, 7 if 3 of them don't mind sitting on a bench for long periods of time......or 6 dudes and 3 dirty whores, or 15 dudes and 1 dirty whore.

On the subject of "On The Road", I guess I could only find that story interesting if you haven't been on a road trip. Nothing that cool actually happens in that book.

Your route seems pretty solid. We've done dick for planning so far, cause we don't all have the same team boards, but we'll let you cats know our plans as they develop.

Leave the trashtalking to them, too.
You should make a road trip board for those who are planning on going. That way we can steal each other's ideas. The NoVA people planning on going are myself, Obfreely, Mad Zur, quicksilver, and krieger.

In before donkey show.

Also, as far as drugs you won't get fired for using go, mushrooms are toxins, and they completely leave your system within a couple of days.

[Pinder]

mushrooms are toxins

You see, normal people might see this as a deterrent.

This, however, is awesome.

[DeathwingZERO]

Awesome, legal in Oregon as well. Looks like I've got myself a little bit of research to do.

As far as the van goes, if my math is right, roughly 2800 miles / 15mpg is just under 187 gallons needed. Depending on how big the tank is, that sounds like a high number of stops for filling up, and only one way.

You may want to just get a 5 seater sedan and stop every X number of hours so Bitch can get out and stretch their legs. In fact, filling up the tank would be perfect for this, as I'd believe the average car getting about 28mpg (estimate) pushes around 300mpt (that's tank) pretty steadily. Depending on speed, that's anywhere between 3 and 5 hours.

What it really sounds like is mileage vs money. Stopping for gas wouldn't take much time out either way, but it'll be sure to leave a larger dent in the budget for all. However, room might be something you're looking into, I don't know how much shit any of you are planning on bringing along (or back).

[Zach Tartell]

My vehicle, that which we will be using if everything goes down like it should, has averaged 23.9 miles a gallon since the day I bought it. IN city it's around twenty, but on the road somewhere between 28 and 32. I have an 18.5 gallon tank, and can seat five (four in relative comfort).

Someone else do the math.

~2785 miles

at about 24 miles per gallon

= 232.1 Gallons of gas Round Trip.

X the fearful price of gas (3.25 per gallon)

= 754.28 ish total. For Gas. So just a little over $150 for 5 people to do that crazy trip in your car.

Compared to 7 people in Jander's Van, assuming 15 mpg (both best case scenario's from Jander's words):


371.33 gallons round trip.

$1206.83 total. Comes out to $172ish per person.

[Bardo]

$3.50 / gallon seems excessively high for most of the state you're traveling in. New York in California distort the average prices of the states you'll actually be in; so your gas $$ calculations are off.

Well we are planning on doing a 3+ week trip round the country, I think you guys are only go directly there and back.

[Nightmare]

So, Syracuse, I'm not sure how you guys are dealing with time off or whatever for this trip, but I just realized that the week of return travel falls in the week of the 4th of July. Here's what I was thinking:

Departure on Tuesday, June 24th. If we had a free place to stay for more than a few nights, I'd say we just leave on Sunday (22nd) morning, but we don't want to over stay our welcome. Assume it takes us 2 nights of stoppage, or three days on the road at a moderate pace (this allows us to stop if we want to see stuff, and we aren't rushed at any point. If we want to make it a faster drive, we can). This puts us in Vancouver/Portland on Thursday the 26th, or Friday the 27th. We crash at Volt's for the weekend, wander around Portland/Vancouver checking out the city and getting ourselves into trouble, and wreak drunken havok to our hearts desire. I finally meet Bardo, we have a moment together, do some drugs, and bond.
Tournament Sunday, the 29th, and we take 4 of the top 8 slots. At this point, VA will still not have arrived, because Gearhart is trying to put some money back together after going dangerously into debt in Vegas. Don't worry, he'll find some ho's to pimp, and be back in the black before you know it. It's either that, or find a pimp himself, and we all know how homophobic that kid is.
Monday or Tuesday, depending on the generosity of our hosts, we depart for home, which will take approximately three more days. Now, this is the part I'm most interested in. No matter what, I get Friday the 4th off, so I'm thinking we should try to hit some random FNM or a saturday Legacy event somewhere in the Eastern Midwest (like, Ohio or Penn.). I think it would be awesome to just show up someplace and own face. Obviously, the hard part is finding the tournament, but it would be pretty sweet. Up to you guys, of course, but it could be fun.

[quicksilver]

Gearhart backed out.

Also we plan on being at mount rushmore for their 4th of july celebration, should be good times.

[Bardo]

Oh man, this is shaping up to be obscenely awesome, unless I'm being set up to have my heart broken...

When you have your plans a little more together, let me know so I can request some time off work to show you around town (Portland, that is, not the Couv'.) There's nothing to see in the 'Couv--well, nothing I could write about from my work computer.

@ Volt - Have you checked the calendar at the venue for that day? I'd hate for this to compete with a Yu Gi Oh tournament. I'm still pretty traumatized from my last encounter with that crowd and the TO. That whole business about the chairs nearly precipitated a blood bath. And a sort of "40 midgets vs. a lion" bloodbath if you know what I mean.

Edit 2 - What's the occupancy for the Bat Cave?

Edit 3.


I finally meet Bardo, we have a moment together, do some drugs, and bond.

As a family man, I'm more of a heavy drinker and pill-popper these days. FYI.

[quicksilver]

Our car should be arriving Friday night, and leaving monday morning from the Portland/Vancouver area. The tournement is on Sunday right?


edit: also will there be anyone willing to put our car up (4 maybe 5 people)? Or should we book a hotel.

Travel plans.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I like the idea suggested that we use the trip there to see stuff (Rushmore and Yellowstone) and then just book it home. I'd rather only do the stopping thing once each way, but that's just me.

I'm definitely down for doing the Portland thing, though there are some old guildies of mine(fuck you) that I wouldn't mind meeting up with for a couple hours, but we'll see how things shape up.

Also, for the record, we wouldn't own face in Ohio. Especially not in any of the real magic formats. Just saying. I'm all down for claiming the top 8 spots in Vancouver, though.

[Zach Tartell]

Not it for anything other than alcohol. Y'all can do whatever to your heart's content, but I have piss tests and such to pass if I want to get hired in July to teach summer school to underprivilaged kids.

The rest sounds good, though.

I think that's fine. Leave for WA on the 23rd, stop wherever we're going to stop at for cool shits (Rushmore and Yellowstone are the two that I know about, and am perfectly content with being the only one). Leave WA on the 30th, be back in 'cuse on the third or fourth since we're booking it home and I'm willing to pull an all nighter or two. To be honest, I'd rather not stop for some rinky-dink FNM. Or one in the Ohio Valley. Because we'd get our asses kicked.

[AngryTroll]

.40S&W, 12+1. Hmm. That's bad news. The first shot is a long double action, so we need to be quick on the taser. And I seem to remember him saying something about a shotgun too. So, surprise is of the essence. Good thing he hasn't been seen on the Source since WoW.

Famous quote:

"Raoul Duke: We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls.

Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

Note I also said MULTIPLE points of entry. His house has windows, an upstairs, and at least a front (and back porch?) door. If about 8-10 of us go in there, chances are we'd only lose about 3. Maybe the 4th if he was ready enough to have a knife on him.

Anybody else have this impending feeling of a repeated WACO scene with this discussion?

Goal number three: throw down with at leat two people.

I'll fuck 'em iup.

No guns or nut shuts, though.

I can get a couple pair of UFC 4.oz gloves if you wanna throw down! I would be more then happy to mix it up with anyone who wants to play! As a matter of fact there are a few people at the cave I would love to chance to beat the holy $#!* out of...

I know Teeniebopper will beat himself up at least once on this trip. I see it something like...... After a long night of sipping cosmopolitans Mike will wake up hungover next to some 350 pound zero-star-covered-in-sweat-soaked-Lay's-Potato-chip-crumbs stuck pig of a woman that waddled up to his room with him from a Bestwestern hotel bar. He'll try to deny his shame to the rest of the Syracuse crew, but the digital photos we'll have long ago posted on the Source will scream the truth loudly across the internet. And while the hotel shower will wash away the unholy mix of vaginal fluid, semen, and mayonaise only the introspection that follows a cross country car ride filled with verbal jabs mocking his choice of sexual partners will he truely be clean again.

James, we need ZillA to play in this tournament; not to be dead.


Eh, shoot to wound. He can play magic with a limp.

Fuck. Wait. The Team Quest gym is in Portland.

I'm rescinding my previous comment.

edit: eh, nevermind. You only live once. Just don't break any teeth. It's hard looking this beautiful.

You have no idea how true this statement actually is. Also; fuck you.
