Yo yo yo! A shout-out to my homies on the west coast!

Hey, I’m gonna be in Bellingham, Washington over Christmas break and I’ve got the wanderlust, so I’ve been thinking of taking a train trip all down the west coast to like, visit people. Only, I wouldn’t want to stay in motels or hotels or whatever, because those places depress me. So I’m asking a few things.

1- Who along the west coast is going to be around during Christmas break, and would it be okay if I visited, and when?

2- Can I stay over at your place for a night or two? (maybe not necessary - I might be able to sleep in the train which is fun)

3- Do you want to join me on this epic quest? It’d be expensive (it’s close to $150 from where I am to the very tip of california, though I don’t think I’d be going down there…maybe if SG bugs me enough), but if you’re up to it I’d love the company. Also if you have a car I’d love it even more, cause trains are expensive.

Also, for the people I met awhile ago in Vancouver, it might be cool to set up another shindig meeting type thing, but we’d need to plan it a little in advance. So you guys reply to this thread too, and it’ll be a regular party.

Anyways yeah. Check ya later. I feel horrible about how the last time I missed CH’s response to the thread…but know that might also happen here too (I’m trying to give myself a little bit of leeway though - but if you think that I’m not getting your invitation, send a PM my way). So…yeah. That’s that.

Oh, and there’s a chance if you’re too far away I might not be able to make it even if I want to, due to trains possibly being sold out, cause of holiday travel etc. That might be the case for closer trains too but it’s less of a chance.

I live like 40 minutes from LA, sin lives like a half hour from me. Lets bbq a live goat!

Can’t help you. I’m in FL.

And I’m in NH.

Yeah, I’m stuck here pretty much all the break (plus this week… damn flu. But I’m better now!). Soooooo another visit from Mazzypants would be cool. :yipee: Dunno bout the being able to stay at my house tho… my dad’s one of them “protective” types. ^^; Maybe I can convince my bf to arrange something (that guy that was with us last time, in case ya forgot :P).

And as much as I’d loooooooove to hitch a ride with ya to Cali, I’m broke. Well, not so much broke as, don’t have that KIND of MONEY. Yeah. blink Summertime, joes… summertime.

so you aren’t dead I see. Zepp thought you were :stuck_out_tongue:

My house is teeny tiny and thus has no guest space, which has been a source of much aggrivation in the past and shall be in the future. Unfortunately.

And I’m stuck working most of Christmas break. So yeah, no me this time around. :frowning:

Maybe next time, like what Nessa subtly hinted at… wink

Eden mentioned something about that to me a while ago…sadly i was out of town when you met him last summer or whatever happened then :confused: (not like casey would’ve wanted me around anyway >>; cough) anyways i’ll be sticking around so i’ll be happy to meet ya^^ Eden’s keeping me posted. :smiley:

Gah, too late. I just came back from San Francisco.

Mazz, I live in Baker City, OR… I sincerely doubt that such a small town would bo on your route, but if you need a place to stay, give me a tell.

Next time, we shall not fail.

Take me with you to meet Nessa, or DIE!

Come visit me and Frame. :smiley:

He’s got a car, and I’ve got a license, and between the two of us you could find a place to stay.

Every time I see this thread’s name, I think of the words to “Calm Like A Bomb.”

You mean the Rage Against the Machine song “Calm Like A Bomb”?

  1. I’ll be around, visit me any time. My classes start on January 12th :smiley:

  2. Yes.

  3. Probly not. I have work, and I’d probly be at the very dead fucking end of your trip :stuck_out_tongue:

Possibly, could you give me a bit more information about specific dates and where you’re traveling through.

Nah Merl, it’s not that easy to knock me off. Though my non-interaction with zeppy WAS pretty amusing - I’ll have to tell you about it sometime.

Anyways, there are numerous complications - such that I probably won’t be able to do anything until midway through the week of the 28th - but after that, I’m free for awhile - I’ve got an extra week off for winter break before I have to resume studies again, due to what I suppose will have to be chalked up as psychological problems. At least, that’s my master plan. Or not. But in any case, I’ll be free that next week.

However - around the beginning of that week (26th-31st), I could probably manage to get up to Vancouver for a day or so - but definitely nowhere else.

But after that…I can be anywhere along the Amtrak route at any time. So if where you live is in any way accessible by Amtrak and near the west coast, I could probably get to you. I’ve got quite a bit of money saved up from various jobs I’ve done over the years, so that’s not (too) much of a problem.

As for a definite plan of action, I’m gonna wait a little while before drawing it out. If there are times which would NOT be good tell me.
