Actually I think that would be the most amusing thing on the convention floor. All the Multiboxers, walking around wearing boxes, but having like 2 more boxes taped to either side. People would be like, whats up with all the boxes. I have a feeling the convo would go something like this:



"WTF is that?"

"I don't know, just a bunch of boxes, they all look the same though."

"Is that like a guild or something, like the Box guild?"

"Wait, what do the boxes say, 'Solo is the New Gimp'?"

"Fuck, I get it, they are the Cardboard Box guild."

*random blizzard employee with half a brain cell* "Dude, they are multiboxers, don't you get it, boxes, multiple boxes, multiboxer, I hate my job."

"OOOO, Fuck them hackers."

I'll be there with my wife. I'm not sure if we'll be down in time for the get together since we're driving down from San Jose after she gets off work mid-afternoon, but we'll see. She may want to go to Disneyland instead, so I may have to miss Thursday anyway ;-/.

I am still up for thursday and my gf sounds pretty committed after I mentioned that some of the multiboxer's are cute... is that manipulative? Of course I am never sure if thats because she is keeping tabs on me or likes to talk to pretty girls...<confused>...either way, dinner sounds great. She has a 45 hunter, but has no leveling addiction and seems to enjoy most the different outfites she finds. She graduated from Berkley, it blows the mind.

Just to comment on whats gone before - haven't been to the walk but Cheesecake has everykind of food you can imagine. If you are from other countries you should be warned the amount of food served is quite large. Along with the food they have a bar. They don't normally take reservations, but for a large group they might. Unless we have someone with celiacs in which case we should look at PFChangs since they actually have a glutin free menu. Downtown Disney is great, my favorite is House of Blues but you need to be sure that there isn't a big name band that night or its hard to get seating. Parking at Disneyland is not $30 for a car. Its about $10, but Downtown Disney parking is easy and large. I don't know the parking at the walk. Both are very close to all the hotels around the convention center.

I live on the sand down in Newport Beach, so if any of you are thinking to visit the beach before or after let me know. If you are in town Sunday its worth stopping by the Balboa pier if you are an Arrested Development fan so you see where different scenes were shot near the fun zone. The weather today is perfect beach weather, and there are good waves at the moment. I don't surf, but there are so many surfers out in the water in front of my place its silly (apparently one of the better breaks around here).

Any group over 8 is going to have gratuity included most places, but remember to bring extra for the tax and tip since everyone always seems to underpay on group checks.

Looking forward to seeing you all, and listening to those of you are good at this multiboxing thing. I have RAF'd two teams to 60 (shamans and druids) and am working on two more before my time runs out so I can figure out what I like in the expansion. But I don't really know anything since my 70 paladin just holds threat so far.

See you Thursday. have you picked a time? Is Cheesecake the official meeting place?

[kadaan]

Did we have a time to meet up at the cheesecake factory decided yet?

[krinkle]

I'll be watcthing on DirecTV(was happy to already be a subscriber to DTV for many years so this was a nice bonus), anyway have fun everyone.

[Zseth]

We do need a solid time as I am catching an earlier flight WOOT



Mainly cuz I really want to see cool people.

[Knytestorme]

Will be booking it for 7pm under the name of Crawford



[EDIT}
Slight change of plans...Cheesecake Factory will only take reservations from 2-5:30PM and after that it's first come first served so I've made a booking for 22 people at 7pm at California Pizza Kitchen instead, sorry guys.

Roger roger.

I've got my phone list as well (and anyone who is confirmed/tentative in this thread should've gotten a PM from me with my contact info). If anyone gets lost, feel free to ping me.

Suvega and I fly out tomorrow (<12 hours from now). We will see you there!
