Alright, I got all my bus train route stuff to Akashi's figured out.

Akashi, my only ride to the train station is early, which will put me in your area a little before 1:00pm. If that's too early to come over I completely understand, I can hang at a starbucks or whatever until 3:00. If it's cool to come over early let me know, I can help you set stuff up or something.

Hopefully some kind soul is willing to take me to the airport, otherwise I'll public trans it, but riding with someone would be pretty kawaii =^.^=

Rich just fyi you want to leave pretty early for your public trans to the airport in case of delays; the last time I went to Chicago I almost missed the bus home because there was a delay :(

You just earned yourself a free one way to Chicago.

I am going for sure to Akashi's now, so if you would like, I can pick you up in St Charles and drive you to the station.

Public trans should get you to O'Hare in about 1 hour/1hour and 30 min. Red line is close to where the party is going to be, from there you take the Red Line going to the Loop from Fullerton to Jackson, walk through the tunnel to the Blue Line, then take the Blue Line train going to O'Hare all the way to O'Hare (theres signs to show you which way the trains are going so you don't get on the wrong one) It's simple, if it comes to that

I'm leaving at 10:00am tomorrow otherwise, but this would be ridiculously convenient. Definitely taking you up on the ride to the airport either way tho lol

Brown Line is generally pretty safe since it stays above ground at all times and doesn't go through sketchy areas. Only problem is it stops running at 1AM.

Red Line is only really bad if you're alone, since you're an easy target for mugging. If you have Corey with you, you should be fine, if you need to go that route.

I would avoid the Green Line at all costs though...

IT'S BECAUSE HE'S BLACK, RIGHT?! I'm so disappointed in you Mike :c

@Rich: Uhhh I just woke up, so I'm trying to catch up with everything that's going on. If you somehow come into Chicago at 1, then by all means you can chill out here. Meneil and I are just prepping for the party (cleaning up, last minute shopping, etc), so you won't be in our way. If Oro (Kyle) is bringing you, then whenever works.

I'd really like you to come, but safety comes first. If you can't get Corey, then don't go on the red, and stay the night if you reach our place. ^^

I guarantee Sago will get mugged if he's alone. He always attracts the crazies when he's in the city.

No, he just needs someone with him to be safe. Klappy, one of our friends, and I all rode the red line at 1AM and were safe, and we're all white.

Tbh I did feel more safe at 3AM on the red line when Klappy and I had Kain with us.

There are way too many people on the red line at 3AM...

I got a phone call from Arty where he claimed to be jealous of me groping Peter's mousepad with breasts. LOL. Stay mad :colorful:

EDIT: I'm so sad I couldn't make your party, Tano :( I'm sure it was awesome!

Shoutout to Tano, Melinda, and everyone else who lived there that had to support and clean up the fun party we had. Happy birthday again Tano, sorry you and Melinda had to spend the night/morning cleaning a lot of ****.

Shoutout to Diego for whopping my *** in Melee and being a great Jamestown partner (as well as Brain and Jacob).

Shoutout to Kain taking almost dying like a champ.

Shoutout to Sago for saving Kain's life and being a sage himself.

Shoutout to DLA for almost killing Kain and his Wizard of Oz tale.

Shoutout to Arty for being drunk Arty.

Shoutout to Kappy for groping anime women.

Shoutout to everyone else I didn't mention, I had a great time last night/this morning.

Also Kyle sucks for not coming, you make me sadface. :(
You too Zwarm, but at least you had an excuse.

Shoutouts to Rich Brown for being 10th in Socal
LOL, too good :D

@Zwarm: He got really drunk and was semi-passed out for a few hours. We're just messing with him though - he wasn't in any real harm (unless we completely ignored him or something).

Thanks to everyone that came out! I had a loottttttt of fun, but honestly I'm never holding a drinking smashfest again xD. It was too much clean-up and whatnot, and also the spills and stuff got a little out of hand. I was expecting that though, so I'm 100% cool with everything that happened. I hope you all had fun though, and hopefully we'll all do another smashfest sometime soon!

Thanks a lot Tano, it really was a lot of fun. I felt bad about the spills and such, even though Arty caused most of them lmao. I definitely understand why you don't want to do any more smashedfests.

If you guys want to get wasted then you can come up here lmao. Strict 3 drink limit if you main Wolf tho.

My white GameCube controller went missing after the party, I couldn't find it at DePouse and I definitely don't have it on my person. It's missing springs in both the shoulder buttons.

I just sat down to play some Melee against Andrew, and I noticed that I definitely grabbed the wrong controller. My mistake man, I have yours. If you don't go to DB on Saturday, then I'll just give the controller to either Tom or Kirk, so they can give it back to you.

That being said, I'm missing my controller lol. It's pretty noticeable in that the joystick has a distinctive blue tint to it. Did anybody grab it by accident, or is it still back at the house somewhere?

No sight of it here, sorry. I do have an extra purple controller with a classic controller analog stick modded onto it. I think it's Norms?
