italianchef Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Tonight I had a grand idea. How about if us folks who post on PKIUnlimited.com actually meet at PKI soon? It would be like a school field trip. We can meet at a predetermined place and time early on a Saturday (or Sunday) morning and hang out together. We can ride the coasters and other attractions together, eat lunch together, learn more about the diverse folks that get on this site, and enjoy the park. Additionally, should we see each other face-to-face, the folks on this site might learn to respect each other more. It's easier to post a cruel statement about a person you never saw than a person you actually met - especially if that person seems nice. Should we meet together as a group Aaron and I might be able to arrange something special like meeting Jeff Siebert (who is highly esteemed on this site) in person or getting a group picture with Scooby Doo. I think that in either August or October we should do this. Let's act fast as time is running out. People please respond seriously and quickly on this one. Since Aaron is our young and fearless leader, I think that his statements will be of the utmost importance. Sincerely, Charles Infosino a.k.a.

RyanA Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I think that's a great idea, it'd be fun to meet people as crazy about PKI as myself. As for meeting the highly esteemed Charles Infosino, that'd be worth the trip in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Why don't we wait until next year? Facts are alot of people have started or are starting school. We could organize something big for next year. People would be able to plan in advance about half a year instead of maybe a month and be able to attend. As of now all days of my life have been accounted for until March except Sundays. Plus what would a PKIU meeting be without Aaron? I doubt he'd be able to attend with school and all. Just adding my two cents on that it would be better to host one next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow2k3 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I agree with Tanner. I myself am going to be going to college in about a good month, so if you were to do this right now, you wouldn't be able to get many people in. While it's a good idea, the time is just not right. ~Shadow~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLimits8705 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I agree with Tanner next year will be better. I would wanna come, but probably won't be able to during the week and specially on weeekends when I work. RyanA..so true meeting Mr. Chef would eb awesome cause he is coolios! Mr. Chef, I agree about the whole "respect" thing, maybe everyone won't be so cruel and eman to people. Then again it could just stay and not change, but it is worth a try. LET'S GO FOR IT! ~Ryan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Let's make it next year...that would be better. Of course, we could always have a mini gathering for Fearfest if you guys are up to it. Actually, that's what my vote is on. How about as many of us get together some weekend evening for Fearfest, and then we'll plan several months in advance for a big meeting next year. Sound good to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRadsgrl Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Yea this year wouldn't be the best but good try on the offerts italian cheft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I'll probably be working (even next year), so just give me a hollar when you all get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 I suppose that we could make it next year. However, Ryan's idea of getting together for FearFest would be great. And I'd like to thank the two people who made laudatory statements about me. What do you all say we try to go to FearFest together the first weekend it's open? That's when attendance will probably be lightest? Sincerely, Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I could probibly make it on a weekend, if I'm not playing paintball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 We need to find a meeting spot first... maybe fof... lines are always short in the morning for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fusion Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I say we meet in front of the fountain, by the Paramount logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Yeah, upfront would be best in my opinion... plus someone should wear something distinguishable, so we can make sure that we're with the right group and whatnot... maybe a pkiu shirt if you have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 no... FOF is better... we can ride after we meet... but if we plan it... i'll try to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I have a PKIU t-shirt. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I love the idea! I would be wearing either my SoB shirt, or Coaster Freak shirt, so I'd be pretty noticible. And I look like Harry Potter, so that would really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pki Fan Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 It would be great to meet up sometime. Meet people talk enjoy the great rides and have a blast. I would go. I someone wants to meet up at the park just start a topic saying when and where and people could post if they where going to go or not.

PKI_Man Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 great idea that means we could meet each other @ action zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 If we are going to meet for FearFest, FoF will probably be closed. Hence the Fountain would make a better meeting spot. And if we simply meet on a Saturday or Sunday morning - we'd have more flexibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRadsgrl Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I was about to order one on Friday but then i spend the money on something else . But I'm getting one I swear to Gof if it's the last thing I do. Whats the date of Fear Fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyman Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have a PKIU t-shirt. Do you? no... i'm a newmember... haven't gotten there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 No, I don't. How fast is shipping on that stuff? It would be cool if all or most of us got them and wore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider19 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 write it on a t shirt, its cheaper and will get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLimits8705 Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Nightrider that is a good idea for the shirt. It would be simple and cheap. Get an old white tshirt and a sharpie and write on it. Simple, yet elegant all the same. lol You can make a stop at a Wal-Mart or something and get the stuff. WAL-MART IS THE BEST........SO IS TARGET! ~Ryan~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielRadsgrl Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Wow you guys are kind of forgeting the purpose. It's not a "official" T-shirt unless you buy it. thats the way it is. Yea how long does shipping take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fusion Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Cafe Press says: "In stock items will ship within 2-3 business days with standard shipping. Expedited (Next Day/2 Day) will ship the NEXT BUSINESS day. Items ordered on Monday will be shipped on Tuesday and received Wednesday (if next day). Items ordered on Friday will be shipped on Monday and received on Tuesday (if next day). Remember, business days exclude weekends and holidays."
