The Great Midwest Boardie Meet-Up

edited November -1 in OK Go
What? The Great Midwest Boardie Meet-Up
Where? The Metro, Chicago
When? 6pm, Saturday, April 17, 2010
Why? Because

The boys are having a show in their hometown of Chicago and what better time/place/way to have a Boardie Meet-Up!

If you live in the Midwest and/or are willing to fly/drive/swim to Chicago, come to The Metro on Saturday, April 17th to meet other Boardies. You can finally place a face/name/voice to the username you see on the boards.

To my knowledge, there hasn't been a gathering of Boardies numbering greater than 5. Let's try to topple that piddly number and have some fun in the process. Not to mention attend a kick-ass concert with our favorite band.

So, whaddya say, you in?

    Whoever does make it, be sure to take lots of pics to share with the rest of us! smile.gif
  • I wanna go! I wanna go! Wah!

    Well, my birthday is a few days afterward, so I shall be there in spirit sending you all Temptastic well wishes for a fantastic boardie convention! tongue.gif

    Well, hopefully we'll start the trend again.

    Responsible good or responsible bad? (Hint: responsible good wink.gif )


    I'm so excited to be seeing everyone again! And perhaps a few new faces, too.

    You're right. This is OK Go's fault. They introduced all of us.

    I'm remembering the day that Damian found out that Alice and I had become friends from across an Ocean due to them, and he was so happy he jumped up and punched the air. I think they're going to like this.

    Waaah! I wanna go to! I wanna go to!
  • There's no way you can make it work, Tempe? No way at all?
  • Thanks to sureeyesawake I'm in too! I've never stepped out like this before so I'm a little nervous but a lot excited. I can't wait to meet you all.
  • According to my calculations, represented states thus far are: Delaware, Illinois (obvs), Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia.

    Not too shabby.

    ETA And Missouri!
  • I feel your pain, Tempe. I looked up flights for almost an hour yesterday trying to figure out a way to make it work. But I'm still stuck having to just be there in spirit.

    I sort of think those of us that can't go should send something to represent ourselves to someone who is going. Like...I don't know, a tie or something. tongue.gif Or like a sign. It wouldn't be like being there, really, but it'd be a really good representation of the number of people who wanted to be there. Does that make sense?

    Ditto + a little more wah.
  • I wanna go too!!! But it's too far to drive and I'm too broke to buy a plane ticket sad.gif. I think I need to have a fundraiser... car wash, lemonade stand?

    Great idea.

    I represent the southern half of Indy (as well as the other half of a Jennifer!) and will be taking the train, thank you. wink.gif Funny: round-trip train ticket < half a car ride.

    And what's all this about a Midwestern meetup? This is the TOILETDOG MEET'N'GREET with special guest Jamba Juice.

    Becky, make sure you give me good directions to JJ from your house. Much too excited!

    And Missouri! I still haven't decided if I'm going to mega-bus it or drive down, but I'm buying my ticket now.
