This needs to be organised. We can all meet up and discuss the origins of barbed-wire, light farts and attend a Choctaw language seminar among many things. Germany or Florida-themed Jeopardy? Hire a Ranchero band so we can yell at them? Where would we do this? Hawaiian Gardens, perhaps?

It would be so cool to bust out jokes to people who would get them. If my friends are reading this, that is a not-so-subtle hint to you! Get with the program, gentleman. And when I say gentleman, I use that term loosely!

I'm in! I'm bringing the cranberry sauce to the potluck.

Ideas? Discuss.

We could meet up in the conference area of a hotel in San Ber'dino. It'd be cheaper than one in L.A.

If it's a potluck, I'll bring the Chivas Regal, and garlic bread.

Don't get me wrong, guys, I love every single one of you, but does anyone think for the slightest minute that the members of this board have the collective wherewithal to pull something like this off?

Of course, I'd love to be proven wrong.

Maybe not all of us (certainly not all of us!) But, if arrangements were actually made, and e-mails exchanged, planning, etc., I'd be there with scotch and garlic bread on hand. Maybe beer, too. As long as it's held in CA. I can make it there pretty easy in my great red shark.

It'd have to be SoCal, the trip culminating in all of us in the parking lot of Loveline one Sunday night (preferrably when there are no guests) wearing custom-designed shirts that say "SPLOOZER". We'd have a portable radio for the show, lawnchairs, booze. If it's done, that's how it must be done!

Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 4:29 PM

I was thinking that we do a sort of 'Lovelive Pilgrimage' - Maybe the second or third week in August.

August seems good because most of the college folks aren't back in school yet, Adam and Drew are in studio almost the entire month (unless they go speak somewhere), and it's far enough in the future where people could get their plans together and start saving some coin. I personally wouldn't be down with flying, I was more thinking of using my Dads RV - but I'm on the west coast already so it's not like I have to drive from New York. I could pick up some others and we could split the gas $$, and no worries about lodging or rental car.

We show up in the KROQ parking lot an hour or two before the show, have a bbq, wave to Adam and Drew as security escorts them past us, hang around for the Monday show, then hit the road at 12:01 am Tuesday morning.

Thoughts?

Will they let us bbq in the lot? The LAPD may club us for that.
August sounds good. Time to make plans with boss, and save a little dough.
Minors not being there? Causes me no lost sleep.
What is that parking lot like? How many cars will the TLC members be driving collectively?
What about expenses for items we're all using? Food, etc? If it happens, I'll donate scotch and a food item for free, no biggie, but if someone winds up buying 200 bucks worth of meat to bbq, they probably shouldn't foot the bill alone.

No idea what the parking lot is like but I wasn't figuring there would be 100 of us there, maybe a couple dozen if we are really lucky. I doubt LAPD will care about us bbq'ing in the lot since it is private property but you never know... I'm not even sure if the lot is accessible - it may have a gate or something.

Who's local to KROQ? We need some recon work done.

gouranga3221

Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 1:27 AM

That's a bummer. I was thinking on this... Maybe we could meet up at a nearby location. What comes immediately to my mind is a hotel/motel. Since we wouldn't actually be using the hotel/motel as a lodging place, we could just pay the hundred bucks for a single room, and therefore have a legal right to 'tailgate' in the parking lot.
We may not be able to meet A&D, but we *could* have our little get-together/bbq.

I obviously don't know the area, so if there was a grocery store/strip mall parking lot nearby, we could use that just the same, without having to buy a motel room for the sake of a technicality.

Aw, Dusty, hon...I didn't know it was so bad. If I ever show up at the convention I will miss you. What say I come over there to YOU, and I can be the Sharona to your Monk? Except I won't leave in the fourth season.

All right, fine -- I'll try: Jess, I demand that you fly over here and use that tongue ring on me. Did I mention that I think you're very beautiful?

I never ask anyone to do anything for ME, that *I* wouldn't be willing to do for THEM.


...very often.

Incidentally, I was referring to the travelling, not the...uh...other thing.
