Tourney Player arrival times
See http://ohio.rbicentral.com/players.html
I'll be driving out Friday am, probably around 9ish chicago time. I think it's an 8 hour tour, hopefully the skyway is all done with construction by then. Since I'm always late, 7pm CBus time is probably close...

I don't think it should take you more than 6 hrs.
Really? Cleveland was 6 hours, just figured CBus was further, time to hit mapquest...
Looks like 400 miles, so probably 6.5-7.5 depending on the skyway...

With traffic you are probably right. When I lived in Cleveland, I used to be able to hit the Sears Tower in exactly 5 hours with no traffic problems. Probably 7.5 hours to Columbus is a good estimate.
This doesn't change the fact that no one else has replied. G-Man, it looks like me, you and the Dub are going out HARD Friday night.

My bad, for some reason I had it in my mind that it wasn't much further from Clevland to Columbus.

Hopefully Gantry and I can find a basement to drink in...
If people are arriving early enough on Friday, I'll leave super early and start drinking before 5...
JoeD - We also have to get some ping pong in, if possible. I haven't played in years... And by "ping pong" I mean Lemon Party...
There's no way it'll take you close to 8 hrs....Columbus is further west than Cleveland (also more south)...
Also, I've made the Chi/Cols trip before and it took about 6 hours...I suppose it depends on what side of town you're on and how fast you drive, but I can't imagine it'll be an 8+ hr drive...
Malnu will be in the parking like to cheer on your arrival...

And by "in years" you mean "in minutes?"
Not sure yet when I'm coming, I can come pretty much anytime so it just depends on when everyone else is getting in.
Never, this thread is depressing me
Well 391 miles from Wheeling (20 minutes north of Chitown) plus a stop for gas and the traffic on the Chicago Skyway. So 7 hours is probably the sweet spot...
Flight arrives in C-Bus at 8:50 pm Friday.
Are we going to hold up massive "Dee-Nee" signs at the airport when everone arrives? I'm game as long as they have airport bars...
I'll be the guy in assless chaps, with an obscene handlebar mustache and a sign that reads "Dee-Nee/NAMBLA Convention"
McLane and I get into the airport at 4:55 p.m. on Friday. We'll both have been drinking at the Phoenix airport bar and the plane ride over, so we should be in fine form by the time we land in CBus...
That's what I like to hear. Dub and I should be finished our round of golf, chilling at a bar somewhere by that time.
internet friends finally meet...i am jealous.

Yup, that sounds about right. JoeD, are you picking us up?
Yeah, I'll pick anybody up who needs a "ride." PM me with your specific info and I'll be sure to get my cell phone # to you so you can call my dumb ass.
What kind of rides are you offering? Mustache?
alright, I'm departing boston by automobile Thursday afternoon, maybe 1 PMish?
I have no idea how long it will take me, or exactly where I'm going. I tend to let the details take care of themselves.
The wife, dog, and I are leaving Iowa at 5:00 AM on Friday. We plan on taking our time, so we'll probably meet up with Malnu in the parking lot at about 5 PM.
One more thing...I'm actually worried about pacing myself that weekend. I tend to pound beers, so I'll probably be in a constant state of shitface starting at about 6:30 PM Friday. I just hope I don't pass out at 8:00 every night...but if I do, I'll be sure to pass out Potsie style (one pant leg up).

Flood, I'm with you. I have two modes of operation: Sober, and Blackout Drunk. There is no such thing as "social drinking" in my world.

The wife doesn't understand why I can't just have a couple beers when I'm drinking with friends. It makes me laugh when she suggests that I stop...silly wife always looking out for my best interests. Crazy lady I tell ya...

I can't stop laughing from this post. As far as social drinking goes, I can only do it when I have to drive and even then I have trouble.

"Honey, you picked up a free agent that happened to be a raging alcoholic. Live with it. Now get me a refill."
I'll be there sometime early evening Friday...
And Mike D...Don't even fucking think about sporting a handlebar 'stache http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=6891.0
Social drinking is totally not my forte. I'd MUCH rather hang out sober by myself than go into any sort of heavy drinking environment and have a couple beers...
Joe,
i'll talk to underatednoobie about that spot open (if it is still open). IF he is willing to pay the price, i definately want him to enter it before me, since he did introduce me to RBI (he deserves it more), otherwise i see no reason i wouldnt enter it... but let me tell u, im more of an online RBI guy (idk if its just me, but they seem to run way differently).
Gantry...can you move the post above this one to my tourney thread? I just want to make sure that if anybody is interested, they know that there is a good possibility it's already taken...
...still, first come first serve, of course...
do they get in for free because you already have the first guy's money? Or does it just add to the purse?
Adds to the purse....we're still trying to get the highest quality as possible, so it can't be a freebee (anybody would take).
I don't think I can move a single post, just a whole thread...
So you're saying you suck, eh?
JoeD-
Could you put the estimated arrival dates/times next to those people who are attending on your website? That would make it easy to track. And easy for Malnu, Dub and I to properly gauge how much time we have to tailgate in the parking lot.
Yeah...as you probably know, my HD crashed...but I can download the website code from the website, right?

good call Mike D
Here you go Mr. Dirt...
Why, thank you sir.
Contrary to what you told nightwulf, we're here for you...
that bastard
I wish those darn arrival times were on JoeD's website.
hear hear! according to this thread, there are roughly 5 people going to this tourney. Flood, are you free from your bonds friday or do you have to wife/dog sit?

No dog sitting for me (MikeD, that is not an invitation for animal sex). I probably won't attend any "beaver barns", but I'm up for golf/baseball game/ping pong/goatse/bars...
JoeD's website is now updated with arrival times- courtesy of a one defen
if it must be reported, then TBT arrives 6 PM friday wearing either a wumpst or the peter mcgrath t-shirt. economy graphic and print is my friend.
im in the process of getting some dee-nee quality shirts made for the gathering.
What does Wumpst look like?
i snagged the design from either you or rdubs post for the wumpster...the jackalope one. i laugh my ass off everytime i see it.
as for the peter shirt...its a TBT original...from the maker that brought you Terry "Hawaii Schiavo" ;)
i also got a fuzzy D t-shirt idea as well that im workin on, and its not super crude, or overly offensive.

Of course, I anticipate that you will be drunk for the majority of the preceding 67 hours as well.
I hope so. God I hope so.
I have updated the first post of this thread with all the times I know of. Combined JoeD's player times with dee-nee member times...
Sweet work G-Man!
Edit: Forgot Baines is coming in at 7PM on Thursday.
Quote from: Mike D. on 06/03/05, 08:29:34 AM

The Times
MikeD - Thursday, 12pm
RDub - Thursday, 3pm
Are you two flying? I didn't realize people were coming in so early--I didn't take Thursday off, so I'm gonna be really hard pressed to pick you guys up...
The hotel is literally at the airport, though.
No problem, our hotel has a shuttle that we'll use. Thanks for the offer, though.
is this the tourney hotel?
this could end up being the future for all tourney flyers!
No, we are staying at the Ramada.
Baines has been added...
MikeD the crying bitch--the arrival dates have been updated to include everybody except one (still waiting on official word). Now will you stop crying about it or am I going to have to kick the shit out of you all weekend long?
I demand answers, MikeD.
This should be a good fight.
You're roughly the size of Andre the Giant, correct?
And about as handsome....
Damn, I'm going to get slaughtered. But fight you I will...unless you give now...
A winner is ???????
I give....you win.
I accept. Consider myself lucky. :(
My friend Steve (who is also an RBI fan) and I will be arriving in Columbus around 10am Saturday, and leaving around 10pm Saturday night. To make up for the short stay, I'll be wearing the nerdiest t-shirt ever made.

And I have update the first post to include nightwulf and a link to the player arrival times...
I am officially pumped as hell for this weekend...
Really, really pumped.
I'm so pumped I just shit my pants. Beat that.
I'm so pumped I just shit fightonusc's pants. I beat that.
I'm so pumped I put on fightonusc's pants after JoeD shat in them.
I'm so pumped I beat it after JoeDirt shat in my pants. And then I licked the feces from Mike D's ass...
Which pumped me my penis up even more.
JoeDirt, how are we going to know what you look like...when arriving at the airport? You're still gonna pick me and GDavis up at the same time (I arrive at 9:14pm, a little bit after Geena).
Have you posted a pic on here, ever? Or am we just gonna have to go on a wild goose chase, looking for someone in a "I HEART Donnie Baseball" t-shirt?
GDavis, where should I meet you...by baggage claim (even though I won't be checking any bags)?
JoeDirt, PM me your cell #, just so I have it. Dee-Nee!
Baggage claim sounds good, although I won't be checking any bags either.

My arrival time has officially changed, I am getting the fuck out of Chicago around 5am and should be there around noon or 1pm. Might need to nap initially, but since I have one day I want to make the most of it. JoeD, if you didn't see PM send me your cell # and I'll call you and MikeD when I get into town...
I can say with certainty that Mike D, rdub, Malnu and Baines have arrived already, and the party has started. So has the drunk dialing. And someone, apparently, was "in the laundry basket".
Shit, are they golfing tomorrow? I was gonna be super busy with work today and tomorrow, but tomorrow lightened up quite a bit...if you guys see thisin time, PM me!
Just got off the phone with the hotel chick...
We've got five rooms reserved there (mine, McLane, Flood, Gantry, and Rob Conzelman), these rooms, are, 228/230 (connect, McLane and Gantry), 231, 232, 233, meaning, we are all in the exact same area. We shouldn't encounter any problems, and there's about a 50% chance that hotel chick will end up working from 3-11 tomorrow night, and she seems just as pumped for our arrival as we are, and it also means that that Conzelman guy will be getting our rate of 39 as opposed to 75.
I can't fucking wait, I'm gonna try to get in there by 5, I really have little intention of sleeping at all until late Friday night.

Am I to assume that Mike D.'s name is neither Mike nor does his last name begin with "D."
For that I say fuck 'im.
is conzelman rdub!!!
So are people's real names gonna be hidden from those who did not attend??!!
:'(
I am here, I am queer, and I'm about to drink a beer!
From the arrivals thread, it looks like nobody is going to be here for a few hours. Time to call MikeD and see how they are doing on the golf course...
These hotel rooms are fkn huge! You can't beat this for $39 a night or whatever. You can easily fit 60 dead whores in here without stacking...
Pics?
To clarify, that's pics of the rooms, not of stacks of dead whores. Although I suppose that would be OK, too.
Probably NSFW, though.

http://www.flytecomm.com/cgi-bin/trackflight
Well, my friend should be here shortly, and we're off to spend the night at his place in Indy, and then on to Columbus tomorrow morning. Just for the hell of it, I think I'm gonna throw the N64 (think MKT, Goldeneye, Smashies, Mario Kart ... ) and the Dreamcast (think 100ish DC games, plus 750ish NES games ... ) in the trunk. If anyone's up for a side game of anything I got, I'll be happy to grab them.
I've also made sure to pack the nerdiest t-shirt ever made. This is how you'll recognize me. It's a vintage ten years old, and an ugly beige color. It fucking rocks. Someone must get a pic of me in that shirt and Malnuboy's mask ...
So are you gonna be around at all Gantry? My condolences on the loss of your grandmother, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed that you won't be there because I have a serious man-crush on you.
Death awaits ...
