AmKon Convention 2010

[Cogburn]

Waaay back in my misspent youth I used to help organize various fringe conferences for topics that interested me.

Pro-legalization rallies, hacker conventions, research groups, etc...

In my never ending quest to drive traffic away from this site, I'm tossing around the idea of an AmKon sponsored general conspiracy convention.

I'm thinking there should be no major circuit speakers. Presentations should be divided by topic (UFOs, 9/11, Spiritual/Magick, NWO/Illuminati, Hacking, etc) and the mic should be open. If you have material to present, you schedule a time and just step up to the mic and present your material. Anyone and everyone would be welcome to speak on any topic they desire.

A live forum for complete free speech. For one (or two?) weekends a year, you can have your own public soapbox and a captive audience.

Do you think it would have appeal to the general conspiracy community, not just our forum?
Would you be interested in attending something like that?
Would you have information you'd like to present?

[pack3tg0st]

Would we draw anyone but Amkon members without any "keynote" speakers?

Anyway, if it was in a semi-affordable location, I'd go!

We have enough tech knowledge on this site to stream it live over the net...

could even have "remote" speakers if we put our noggins to it...

record all the talking... host it on a website for viewing at any time...

Hard part is going to be getting people besides amkonites interested.

[Cogburn]

That's what I was thinking, but if you target your information to groups/places that tend to be ignored you might get a nice eclectic bunch.

I'm talking about folks like Michael Lee Hill, FurryTexan, Candice Freize, AC666, Jackinthebox... Generally nutty theories proposed by folks who are unabashed in their insanity. Folks with fringe-of-fringe theories representing the "cutting edge" of American conspiracy theory but simply can't get anyone to listen.

I'm hoping for to eventually encourage some real gems from folks you've never even heard of before...

EDIT: In my experience it would take a few years of promotion and conferences to get attendance over 20 people. However if you make it entertaining and informative enough word will get around with little effort on your part. As to the location, I was thinking St. Louis.

[pack3tg0st]

LOL I better not suggest Michael Shermer as a speaker than huh? LOL

[KIWI]

welcome to "nerd" corner :lol:

[Lexion]

Michael Lee Hill ?

My eyes are bleeding.

Cool concept, though.

[Snow Crash]

Get Hulk Hogan to speak imo.

[pack3tg0st]

I think it woudl be great to get Bill irvine up in front of a crowd of rabid amkonites.

[Cogburn]

Hahaha... Bill doesn't appreciate free speech and lacks the testicular fortitude required to defend his nonsense in an open, public forum where there were no censorship or controls beyond being quiet enough to hear the speaker.

[torbjon]

and who foots the bill?

[Cogburn]

I was thinking more like $50 per attendee for the whole weekend, Saturday and Sunday.

Most cheap hotel conference rooms are $500 a day or something like that. 20 people and you're covered.

[mojo]

i've been thinking of something similar for a while, the 2012 thing in hawaii was a serious suggestion. :)

i think it would be great cog, the first one or two might not garner much more than amkonites but word soon spreads. i like packs idea for the first one to be an electronic convention.
i'd put something together, perhaps my bible is a fraud' or sumerian atlantis theories.

[Cogburn]

Hmmm...

Next summer perhaps. Gives everyone time to save pennies... planning... promotions...

Lemme work up a few plans and I'll post them here. We'll see how feasible and expensive this little venture could become.

[pack3tg0st]

let me know if I can help cog...

I used to be an events coordinator...

[mojo]

let me know if I can help cog...

I used to be an events coordinator...

i've organised 3 bucks shows.

[torbjon]

"Lemme work up a few plans and I'll post them here."

ya, please do, 'cause so far what I'm hearin' ain't gonna fly... not a slam, Cog, but like you said, your rallies were 'back in the day'... I'm organizing events here and now, and it's Spendy. The events I'm organizing have big names, in groovy venues, with Booze and bitchin "after event Parties" and it's Still Hard to get folks to part with their moola...

the only incentive I've seen so far for people to shell out money for this event is "open mic night at the looney bin",,, not much of an incentive, really. Not worth my nickel, tha's fer sure.... we can get alla that on the net for free, ya know?

These are Free:

OTHELLO Speaker Series (http://www.labtheater.org/othello_speakers.html)

OTHELLO Artists and Educators Symposium (http://www.labtheater.org/othello_symposium.html)

Barn Series and Live Nude Plays (http://www.labtheater.org/onstage/onstage.html#bs)

This one costs:

LAByrinth's Celebrity Charades, 2009 (http://www.labtheater.org/support/specialevents.html)

OR

shell out bucks to listen to a chat from this charming couple:

http://www.torbtown.com/eshotj.jpg

hmmm... boy.... I dunno.... In a better economy I'd probably shell out the bucks for the pink haired chick, but if I can only afford one? Charades is a better Bang for my buck.... I Know the chicks will be Hot, the booze will be Cool, and the show will be Fun...

look, not wanting to kill the idea,,, but if folks are gonna do it, well,,,, DO IT. Anything lame or half assed just ain't gonna pay for itself...

unless someone knows a deep pocketed Donor / Sponsor?

[mojo]

unless someone knows a deep pocketed Donor / Sponsor?

thats the only thing thats been holding me back from organising something along these lines, plus the fact that a good portion of our members are scattered all over the world.

[skunk]

The southern hemisphere is on a reversed season schedule as compared to the northern hemisphere. I say we have it in Australia or New Zealand for your summer coming up soon. As long as we book our event 1-3 months in advance we'll be in good shape with the pricing.

[Cogburn]

I think you guys are missing the point.

YOU are the entertainment.

You aren't paying to see speakers... you are paying to have an audience to sit and evaluate your flavor of crazy.

[skunk]

We just need to start a fundraiser on the forum.

Donate to amerikankonspiracy@gmail.com from your paypal account and we'll put 100% of the proceeds towards


Amkon 2K10

[Cogburn]

http://www.chipin.com/

Once we figure out how much it will cost, that is...

[skunk]

Wow great link cog.

[pack3tg0st]

yah, but are we going to have enough "Talking" to last for 2 days?

This sounds like a drunk fest with everyone talking for 20 mins a pop on either night.

all said and done in a few hours.

BTW, as a reminder, if you guys plan on doing this in the U.S., make sure you check to make sure you don't need to register as a non-profit org to avoid paying taxes on the donations...

[Royal]

I want to speak of theories with no verifiable evidence.

[pack3tg0st]

IF ya do it close enough to my neck of the woods, my brother is a DJ, complete with like a 25,000 PA setup and the whole works...

No renting of equipment...

and my brother works for beer lol

[skunk]

Its gotta be a country with lenient drug laws, so that disqualifies the US.

Someone should start a thread with locations for AmKon 2k10.

[Cogburn]

St. Louis is the mid-point in the country. That's about as "neck of the woods" as it gets for anybody... except the kiwis and aussies.

There would probably need to be some presentation rules. Not that "required evidence" will be one of them, but you should at least be able to stand up there without wasting everyone's time. This would require submission of your material, either webpage or doc or PPT or something, so we at least know you won't be standing up there going "uh uh uh uh".

You wanna talk for 5 minutes and take questions for 15? Go ahead.

You wanna talk for 20 minutes and take no questions? Fine.

Your information takes an hour to deliver? Umm... it better be good or we're going to give you the gong.

http://www.gameshowfavorites.com/shows/GongShow/GongShowTHS/1.JPG

Shit... I might even bring a gong...

[skunk]

AmKon hookup 2K10

Let's start brainstorming locations.

[Cogburn]

I mean.. shit... worst case scenario we're paying to sit around and have food fights in person.

Sounds like a great use of $50 to me.

I'm going to start collecting hotels to call tomorrow to see about conference rates.

Too bad we can't guarantee numbers or I'd say let's do it in Vegas....

[pack3tg0st]

chicago is closer (by airline)...

you'd have to go through a hub most of the time to get to St. Louis :P

Just sayin.

[pack3tg0st]

meh, don't do vegas man... its a clusterfuck... I've done em lol

although, with vegas, you always have the stratosphere for cheap ass rooms...

[Royal]

Many hotels have conference room. Small - large. Cheap -expensive. It's easy. THey may even provide the snacks and beverages for a couple penny's more. Just need a date and attendees.

_Mr. Obvious.


But there is not enough amkon members to throw such an event.

[pack3tg0st]

I think I still like the idea of Seattle though... something west coastish for the aussies

[skunk]

Right now we're in the process of brainstorming possible locations for AmKon hookup 2K10.

Please post suggestions in this thread.

Poll included!!!

[skunk]

Please help this happen by donating to amerikankonspiracy@gmail.com with your paypal account. 100% of our donations will be put towards this event.

So where's it gonna be?

Any suggestions on weekends in 2010?

[Royal]

MEet like the illuminati. We will have submarines that will dock under the sea at a deep sea base.

[pack3tg0st]

I vote chicago lol

But I'm biased...

to far away and I won't be able to go lol

But, I do come with shit tons of AV equipment... internet broadcasting... multimedia projectors, mics/PA systems etc...

Edit: Actually anywhere about that distance away... CHicago, Minniapolis, Detroit, Indianapolis etc...

[skunk]

Ok keep 'em coming.

[skunk]

What's Portland, Oregon like? Would that be a suitable city for a bunch of amkon rejects, miscreants, trolls, assholes with huge egos who are too fucking stubborn to admit they're wrong, giant douches, turd sandwichs, asshats, AmKon 2K10 will have all kinds of krazy showing up.

[Cogburn]

chicago is closer (by airline)...

you'd have to go through a hub most of the time to get to St. Louis :P

Just sayin.
You assume air travel, I was thinking most would come by car. STL can't be more than 8 hours from you. Roll out Friday afternoon, arrive Friday night.

Although given most folks are in the midwest... notables being the Cali-ans and the Colorado Contingent.... Chicago might not be a bad idea, either.

The more I think about this the more it could work.

If just 5 AmKoids show up with manilla folders full of material to discuss, the rest pretty much takes care of itself.

Like I said... it will take one or two years (of plugging the YouTube videos of the discussion) to get a crowd that will BYOC (bring your own conspiracy).

[skunk]

We don't need a huge crowd. If its just 10-20 of us shooting the shit, getting fucked up and chilling that'll be alright with me.

[pack3tg0st]

Another thing to think of cog:

I brew my own beer...

and I have 3 corney kegs I could fill

Even if no one else but the 5 or 6 of us show up...

we'll have a room to party in for a few days lol

[skunk]

I wouldn't want to spend the entire time boozing it up in the hotel. We'd need a venue to see live music and cause some mayhem on the streets.

What fun would it be if we didn't get arrested or in the very least fined?

[pack3tg0st]

bah,

if its close enough, I can bring my brother, and all his PA/recording equipment...

then its just a matter of finding local bands to plug in and play

[pack3tg0st]

what Conspiracy/sci-fi event is complete without finding a theremin player lol

[skunk]

Alright, well start coming up with a list of cities you want to do this in.

(Note: Merged the Am-Con thread with the AmKon hookup 2K10; the inspiration for the name came from mojo and his hookup with the AmKon Australia crew)

[pack3tg0st]

lol am I the only one playing along?

hrm...

Chicago
Minneapolis
Detroit
Indianapolis
Columbus
Toledo
etc etc etc

[skunk]

I think you're the only one who was aware this discussion was going on at the time pack heh.

[theeindiee]

I'll speak.... and actually structure a good presentation, not just a crazed rant... but I won't guarantee I'll stick to my structure completely... or at all.

Also... I know one or two good nationally known "fringe" bands which I guarantee everyone will enjoy. Perhaps my band, as well...

The Psychodelic Spiral!!!

...with opener, Sting.

"Oh, halloo, I'm Sting.... Do you want to know how long I can f**k you for before I change into Buddha and then go buy a porsche?"


I vote Chicago or St. Louis. Not because I live close to those places or anything...

[pack3tg0st]

oh shit! I forgot Indiee has a band lol

He can do live music.

[skunk]

Bring your concealed carry permits!!!

Haha I wonder if anyone will bring a handgun or maybe an AK locked in the trunk of the car?

[skunk]

I vote for some place where we can camp, like either western New York state or Michigan by the lake.

There's gonna need to be hiking trails and outdoor shit to do too. We aren't gonna want to be cooped up inside.

Plus, kegs are so much more fun outside.

[skunk]

if you're looking for camping on lake michigan lakeshore... may I suggest Van Buren State park?

edit: But then again... if you do the camping thing... you're really limiting your options...

Limited power... some places have drinking restrictions... etc...

Not to mention that you might not get as many people....

[skunk]

The venue/campground is going to have to allow us to have a band or three play without us getting fined for being too loud too.

[skunk]

Pack,

I figure we have a convention center out for the day time shit. At night, it'd be nice to be able to camp. I think we should leave an option open for people who don't wish to camp, but still want to experience the "hookup."

[skunk]

By the way, if you vote for 'other' in the poll, please say what you would have voted for instead and I'll add it to the list.

[skunk]

Also, estimate the amount of time required beforehand necessary to request time off to come to the event.

[pack3tg0st]

lol

Langley?

[skunk]

Langley, Virginia, where my connect for cocaine is.

-I.T.

[pack3tg0st]

My question is...

who voted other?

Are we talking about Antartica or Niribu?

You have all the habitable continents listed lol

AND oceana

[skunk]

Antarctica's not listed. I posted the inhabited continents and the one other main location AmKon members hail from.

[pack3tg0st]

I know lol

so whats up with someone voting "other" ROTFLMAO

[skunk]

Someone went full retard.

[pack3tg0st]

Couldn't have been fox lol

He never goes full retard...

I think it woudl be great to get Bill irvine up in front of a crowd of rabid amkonites.

[KIWI]

why not Vegas, we could camp out at Johns mine and make day trips to area 51's perimeter fence?....get some serious plane-spotting at McCarron, and see if we cant locate the secret subway that transports the Dulce staff......

[skunk]

Vegas kind of sucks unless you come with over $1K. It really blows that you can't easily have a fun cheap time there.

Its a black hole.

[skunk]

Fixed poll. Ask me to add a city/country.

[skunk]

Haha, this map shows a possible outcome for this year's medical cannabis bills currently in state legislatures. Blue states already have law in place of some sort, the red states are being debated now.

[spoiler:gm2cdg0o][attachment=0:gm2cdg0o]mmjlaws.png[/attachment:gm2cdg0o][/spoiler:gm2cdg0o]

This country is going to be a much different place in a year or two...If all of those bills go through, more than half the states would have enacted some form of medical cannabis law. 2/3rds majority would pretty much change federal law.

My point is, if the law here in NC gets passed, it takes effect December 1st, 2009...Partay is in 2010. By then there would be at least one dispensary in the state open and the bill allows patients to grow it themselves, with patient immunity from prosecution written directly into the bill.

[KIWI]

Vegas kind of sucks unless you come with over $1K. It really blows that you can't easily have a fun cheap time there.

...I think you can get them any colour now man

[Cogburn]

Hehe... LA would be a direct flight from anywhere.

Not to mention legal weed and all nude strip clubs.

That and it's 100 miles from my house.

At least Royal, Goos and I will be there. :)

[skunk]

You can vote twice in this poll.

2 times, vote 2 times.

[skunk]

http://secure.skyharbors.com/avl/do/flight/RoundTripSearch?ag=98

Between $250 and $350 to fly into Asheville from anywhere in this country. Our non-US members will have to pay an arm and a leg to get here no matter where we throw this party, so it might be limited to most if not all US amkonians.

[KIWI]

at the end of the day we will go with the flow......common sense says it should be centred around membership pop numbers....

[skunk]

Yeah, I was really looking forward to heading out to Aus next year though haha.

[KIWI]

plenty of time for that man......well, a year or two at least,maybe

[Cogburn]

HI is a nice destination, but that probably puts it out of the price range for the majority of our users... much less the general public.

[KIWI]

shouldnt have to be should it?....with a decent enough time allowance its in most peoples capabillity to get to Hawaii?

[Lexion]

I voted Vegas and HI.

About Vegas....how about
126 miles North of Vegas ?

Rachel, NV.

Lil'Ale'In.

Tikaboo peak.

Groom lake.

The black mailbox. (which was white,
last time I was there)

Might even coord. with another

Just my two cent.

[pack3tg0st]

Vegas blows goats...

Like mentioned before... you have to have a wad of cash to have any fun...

that, and i'll have to see if the statute of limitations is up...

for the same reason... I can't step foot in california for a few years :P

[Cogburn]

Vegas blows goats...

Like mentioned before... you have to have a wad of cash to have any fun...
True... but as long as you bring your own bottled liquor it's not so bad, actually. When we were there in June I think an entire week only cost $2500, and that was with a suite at the Venetian and getting drunk at the hotel bar (which was fucking awesome!) every night.

... and for... other things... it always helps to have a couple friends with connections. (http://www.diazerva.com)

[pack3tg0st]

I think the statute of limitations is up for my shit in Vegas... so I think i'm good...

I"ll have to dive into some paperwork in the cellar to be sure though...

I'm pretty certain that california isn't up though...

I don't think thats up till 2014-15

[Cogburn]

You realize that doesn't mean anything, right?

Unless someone has actually filed charges against you, by name, you're golden. That doesn't even begin to cover the fact that they have to prove that you are indeed that person.

Relax.

[pack3tg0st]

In California, there are pending charges... In Oklahoma, its the same, only that was back in 2002... so I'm golden there (i think)

Vegas is a little weirder... I was a little dickhead in front of the judge and should have contempt charges against me by now...

yah...

my whole "burn it down" "destroy the status quo" type thinking tends to get me in shit sometimes :P

I know it sounds like I'm a felon or something... but its not really as bad as it sounds...

Nothing violent, lurid etc... no innocents were harmed in the making of this movie...

I'm sure if it was serious enough, they would have michigan come get me, and extradite... same when I was in alaska...

They're probably not looking for me I wouldn't think... but if I get so much as pulled over for speeding... well... thats a diff story...

edit: Although, if they figured out who I was, and who i'm affiliated with electronically... that might lead to some federal stuff... so I guess CA and NV aren't the most of my worries lol

[Cogburn]

If it's been before a judge it should be a matter of public record.

Most county clerks are online nowadays, including Henderson, NV (http://courtgate.coca.co.clark.nv.us:8490/DistrictCourt/asp/DayOptions.asp).

Check that system and the system for the clerk of courts for the county in California.

I'm assuming it was a misdemeanor or they would have come after you; felons get more love. Statutes on most misdemeanors expire in 2-3 years.

[pack3tg0st]

will they tell me if I have a warrent online?

I haven't seen anyplace that will tell you that...

[Cogburn]

Current dispositions are available.

If the last place the case was left was the issuance of a bench warrant, it will be there.

But again, bench warrants are usually only good for 18 months.

[Cogburn]

Back to the topic at hand...

I've sent a request to the Vegas Convention and Tourism folks to see what kind of pricing would be available for conventions on Fremont St. It's less expensive than being on the strip by about 50%. We'll see what they come back with.

I'll also do the same for Honolulu, Chicago and Los Angeles, since that rounds out the top four location choices.

[Cogburn]

.... even the Holiday Inn in Waikiki is $122/night.

Fuck that. If we're gonna spend that much per night I'd rather do it in Vegas where I can at least have my choice from 10,000 strippers.

[Cogburn]

LA and Chicago are pretty much no brainers: both have a wide range of hotel and convention facilities from $50/night at a HoJo to five star.

It's pretty much a buyers market in those two cities.

[pack3tg0st]

if you find a place close to the magnificent mile in Chicago... most of the awesome pubs are within walking distance...

don't know much about pubs in LA...

could do San Diego Blind Folded though...

[Lexion]

Pack....

When I said Vegas...Rachel isn't
on the poll.

Pretty cheap to stay there, great
over-flights of Mil. aircraft.

Middle of the desert, basically.

The food at the Inn is home cooked.

Pretty cool place over all.

[Cogburn]

San Diego isn't a bad choice. We could plan on a TJ invasion Saturday night...

5 hour drive for me as opposed to 1.5 hours, Goos and Royal are already there.

Legal weed, strippers, Tijuana, beaches, night life, 3 AmKoids in proximity, minimal connections from Oz...

We may have a winner.

EDIT: SD= San Diego

[Lexion]

South Dakota ?

[Cogburn]

Fixed.

[Cogburn]

Shit... if the aussies/kiwis fly into LAX I can pick them up on the way...

[pack3tg0st]

If we do SD, just remind everyone to bring their passports...

Can't just hop across the mexican border anymore these days... fuckers want a passport.

AmKon is a constitutional monarchy, allowing the people a vote on polls, but the King has the final say period.

Bitches.

[Cogburn]

Final say in what, where and when we want to get together and what we choose to call such a gathering?

If he wants to come that's fantastic and even desired, but the day Jasn stops asking for donations will be the day that his say in matters not directly related to the operation of the forums is greater than anyone else.

He can throw down on his opinion and we'll weigh it in with everyone else.

Democracy indeed.

did you vote on the poll up top?

2 votes for chi-town already!!

a third... maybe a fourth and we'll have the deal sealed :P

[pack3tg0st]

GF,

Chi-town is dirt cheap for the most part...

especially if we have a meeting on the south side.

come armed

hehe

[Eyeforalie]

If its in Chi I can bring party essentials.

And yes, I voted.

[pack3tg0st]

lol so it was Indiee that didn't vote...

he was up for chicago too...

[guinnessford]

Im cool with that, I voted for Chicago!

Its metro, good public trans, cheap, central, and not too bad in the spring or fall....

And I think most of us carry, so security wont be an issue.

Hard trip is for the out of country blokes here, Kiwi, Lala, Mojo, Fox, etc..

Id feel bad if we all cant make it

[guinnessford]

And we should all bring these as permission slips...

[skunk]

Bump.

[mojo]

If its in Chi I can bring party essentials.

And yes, I voted.

i've just changed my vote to chi town.....but if you let me down i will slice open the top of your head and shit on your brain.

[skunk]

We can all get drunk for cheap almost anywhere, except Hawaii. That's the most expensive place on the list so far.

I still haven't heard any recommendations from people who voted other.

[skunk]

HI is a nice destination, but that probably puts it out of the price range for the majority of our users... much less the general public.

I don't expect the turnout to be huge for non-regular/old posters. AmKon is still pretty new and almost everybody knows everybody. There might be a few randoms here and there that show up if we decide to make it open to the public. For the most part it'll be people you are familiar with.

I think we should mandate that you have to be registered on amkon in order to come, you don't necessarily need a minimum number of posts though. What do y'all think?

[mojo]

the only rider i would add is that you need to have posted in at least one thread devoted to the cult of dead celebrity.

[KIWI]

you don't necessarily need a minimum number of posts though

....your too kind skunkee!.....can we have a group "seig heil! to that?....lolololol, ha ha

[lala]

the only rider i would add is that you need to have posted in at least one thread devoted to the cult of dead celebrity.

Here Here . . . lol

[guinnessford]

Lookin like Chi-town?

[KIWI]

do the local tour guide act GF and give us a slide show with some of the area highlights, sell us Chicago man

[KIWI]

.....but if you let me down i will slice open the top of your head and shit on your brain.



Thats an Australian marriage vow isnt it?

[skunk]

PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR OTHER:

POST IN THIS THREAD WHAT YOU WERE VOTING FOR.


This is not that difficult.

[mojo]

.....but if you let me down i will slice open the top of your head and shit on your brain.



Thats an Australian marriage vow isnt it?

haha...yeah, just before you say "for better or worse".

[skunk]

Jasn might tell y'all to fuck off and do it in his town...Would everyone go if it was in Georgia?

[mojo]

is that near kentucky?

[skunk]

GA is southeast of Kentucky.

Atlanta, GA is a hub of the south. What about Atlanta?

[mojo]

i only ask coz i want to stick my head in a keg of Jacks.

[pack3tg0st]

But Jack is from Tennessee.

[Cogburn]

I'm down with that. I have a MMO-ho in Atlanta.

[Martian Exile]

Haha....lets organise a Rave! AmKon style.

[lala]

I did vote other, earlier before you put HI on the poll . . .but for us, if its in the U.S it doesn't overly matter as we have to travel anyway, biggest thing is timing, and sorting visa's . . . .

[skunk]

You shouldn't need a visa to visit the US for less than a month.

I added atlanta and new york to the poll.

[mojo]

You shouldn't need a visa to visit the US for less than a month.

I added atlanta and new york to the poll.

definately need a visa, have to fly to melbourne as well to sort it. oh well. ROAD TRIP, lol.

[pack3tg0st]

but aren't visas for extended stays?

Don't ya just need a passport?

[skunk]

Are you sure? I am almos positive you don't need one if you're from an "approved" nation, and aus should be one of those countries.

[mojo]

Are you sure? I am almos positive you don't need one if you're from an "approved" nation, and aus should be one of those countries.

haha...but i'll have to go in for an interview because they do police checks and i'm not squeaky clean. :)

[lala]

You shouldn't need a visa to visit the US for less than a month.

I added atlanta and new york to the poll.


We need one even for 24 hrs . . .it is the way . . . criminal record's . . . and they don't like to let you out, let alone let you in other country's . . .I've got Kiwi and British passports . . . so I get to skip a few . . .

[KIWI]

theyb are one of the toughest outfits on the planet skunko.......any convictions at all, and you aint goin near the joint, they are ruthless, silly cunts think if they are honest on the app and admit to a minor posse4sion (even one joint mate) they will appreciate their honesty and let them in!!.............no no no no, ....irrespective of how far back in your past it happened

[KIWI]

could anyone organize a paintball arsenal?

[pack3tg0st]

There are places out here where you can just go and rent equipment...

Why?

the geezers think they can take us young fucks? :P

Make sure to vote again. Every time I add a new option to the poll the votes reset. Let's hope this is the final list.

Vote suckas.

[pack3tg0st]

dang GF... expensive taste eh?

THis is more my speed/style:

[pack3tg0st]

Vote for Chicago!

Chi town rox...

and, I know a stripper over there...

little irish chick... accent and everything...

i'll have to see if I can find her info

[skunk]

Does everybody drink? I prefer pubs to clubs personally. Never really got into the coke scene either, probably a big reason why. I've also had a significant other since I've been legal, which had kept me for getting desperate for pussy and going clubbin.

[guinnessford]

I was just lookin for a general pic of a bar... any place that serves Guinness is cool with me!

Gotta vote again...

[guinnessford]

Lookls like Chi and L.A/ San Diego are leadin.... either is cool with me!

[pack3tg0st]

I drink... lots

and I prefer pubs over clubs... I really dislike large groups of people...

pubs let ya sit in your own little world at the bar...

Watch my mad chameleon skills as I blend in with the serious alcoholics :P

anyway, Irish pubs are my fav... especially if they play the irish pub music...

Makes ya want to drink more IMHO

[pack3tg0st]

Lookls like Chi and L.A/ San Diego are leadin.... either is cool with me!

hehe I have a warrent in Cali LOL

[skunk]

I was just there in july. Its a nice city just too fucking windy and crowded. I don't like nyc either though or pretty much any big city in the us.

[Cogburn]

At least they stopped talking about paintball.

I'd like to get laid sometime that weekend, ya know.

[skunk]

You think you're gonna get laid with a bunch of miscreants running around? Good luck with that. I'll even throw down for a lady of the pole.

[Lexion]

Something funny just dawned
on me.....

Am I the only one here with
a clean record ?

If so, that's funny.

Edited for clarity.

[Cogburn]

So let's see....

pack3tg0st: steampunk techno-anarchist
Cogburn: flag burning, pothead smartypants
Mojo: Aussie (criminal by default)
Royal: Crown Prince of Tijuana
KIWI: wasn't always married (and a default by NZ)
boycotteverything: unabashed communist smartypants

You tell me.

[guinnessford]

Im in with anywhere thatr we can have a few beverages, all share our ideas and thoughts in a semi-quiet atmosphere.

Im 38, not really into yelling into each others ears all night.

Pack, I dont anticipate causing enough shit to get cops involved with us, so thats not a worry.

I drink very little, maybe 2-3 guinnesses and sip a shot of jaeger over 3-4 hours

And whats wrong with stingin up a hooker with a paintball gun for a few hours, Cog?

Really get all of "Team Amkon" in on it...

[Royal]

Lol. "Crown Prince of Tijuana". Smited.

A lot of my friends would agree. You brought back memories.

[skunk]

Lex I'm not allowed to drive in sc... Other than that I've never officially been arrested.

[skunk]

I think amkon could do the most damage in cali...Medical pot, hot strippers, warm weather.

It might be pricey, but so would chicago or hotlanta. I'm down for another road trip.

[Lexion]

Mine were all before age 18.

Sealed after 18.

Besides, that was over 20
years ago.

[Cogburn]

... and for those that fly, a straight shot from a major airport.

... and a 3-4 day drive from anywhere else.

I still drive Route 66 from Barstow to St. Louis at least once ever couple years. Talk about seeing America for what it is...

[guinnessford]

I think amkon could do the most damage in cali...Medical pot, hot strippers, warm weather.

So-Cal aint as pricey as most think, prepared food, and gas are about the only more drastically expensive things that Ive noticed when Ive visited the most awesome region of the U.S.

[skunk]

I'm down for somewhere in southern california. I don't know about downtown la or san diego, but one of the burbs or the hundreds of small cities in the area. That state is so fucking populated (along the coast).

[guinnessford]

I have some friends in Tujunga canyon, maybe Cog could do a little figuring on how far away that is.

I could stay there, along with one or maybe two guests.

Or maybe we can get a set of hotel rooms cheap?

mmmm Tommys burgers are callin me!!!!

Or In n Out, maybe even Carls Jr.....

[Cogburn]

I can't believe you said Carl's Jr.

I'm thinking close to Venice Beach, actually. Tons of shit to do, tons of pre-existing freaky people, and cheap ass hotels.

[guinnessford]

Oh man, Carls Jr is my favorite of them all.... Guacamole bacon burger FTW!!

Venice Beach is a freak-scene, my amkon brotha!

We should blend right in...

[lala]

You's make me laugh . . . .doesn't your wifes root you's, for god sakes . . .and Lex I've not got a criminal record . . . Skunk you took off NZ and Aussie whats that about! . . . Don't worry we won't do another poll, it would do our heads in, ha ha ha

[guinnessford]

Lala, I did mention how Id feel bad about our out -of-country bretheren/sisteren (ha!) may not make it, you are part of this entity I see as Amkon!

Yes, she roots me, but they arent deep.

Ive expressed my disdain for control to the point where I need permission to piss.

Shes all for me meetin up with all of you, no matter where.

Whats your record for, and would it prevent you from visiting us here?

I may be able to get a work sponsor if it helps you get a passport to come and hang out with us

[KIWI]

http://chicago.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs

love what you've done with your spare room GF......that was easy, Im sold

[skunk]

lala, since the majority of amkon's membership resides in the US, it makes the most sense to have it here. It kind of sucks that puts limits on our international members, but either way there are going to be some people who won't be able to come.

[lala]

GF you missed the "no" record, was just pointing out to Lex he not the only one :D . . . and I think Kiwi and I will make it, but planing needs to be sorted, as it a big haul, from here, plus I was just giving them shit, as you do . . . carry on. . .lol

I’ve had the sail boat that I have lived on for years within walking distance of Venice beach for years. My second home. Boat is 38 feet, so I could take a bunch out for a sail. And then there is Hananos. Best burgers in California.

NOTE: name censored following legal advice

[skunk]

Vote motherfuckers.

Close call so far, Chicago and Southern Cali are the top two.

[Cogburn]

Reset the votes for Chicago, Venice Beach/LAX, and Vegas.

Vegas is probably just too much of a pain in the ass... although we could go visit Mr. Lear...

[FancyFree]

I say anywhere but Vegas (because i'm going there in November for the millionth time and i'm getting a little sick of it. lol)

[KIWI]

Reset the votes for Chicago, Venice Beach/LAX, and Vegas.

Vegas is probably just too much of a pain in the ass... although we could go visit Mr. Lear...


agreed......California, wagons fuckin Ho!!!.........maybe we all flick Johnny an e-mail....not doubt he will be truly touched by the out-pouring of affection...flying the ribs and piss in by Lear jet would be kinda cool

I loved Cali...not so much LA, San Diego was a neat place also...we could jump the fence at the S.E.A.L base and have a group swim, its right on the main highway, liberate a couple of thousand rubber ducks in their private lake

Im sure they would see the funny side

[Lexion]

Im sure they would see the funny side

[offsite:1l6rfxcp]CIA Assassin test
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews, and testing were done, there were three finalists. two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow our instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!"
The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home."
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks", she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."[/offsite:1l6rfxcp]

[KIWI]

sir yes sir!!!! ...ma'am, nice one Lex.....funny


I just had a vote.....CHI and CA 5-5

[DeadSoul]

I vote Chi-Town only because it is closer to the middle of the country and it would be like meeting half way for most of us. I am on east coast so flying to Cali is expensive. Flying from Cali to east coast is costly too, so to be fair, I vote Cheecago mang!!!

DS

[skunk]

Folks, if you want to save money on the trip and you live in the US, carpool. I don't think I'll be flying no matter where we go, I get really paranoid on planes.

Who needs a ride in the southeast?

[Cogburn]

LOL damn skunk.. read my mind.

I was thinking that we should have a few caravans from different parts of the country. That way gas and hotel rooms for the trip could be split and make the trip cheaper for everyone.

We'll have the various caravans meet up somewhere central... assuming LA then say St. Louis (Cincinnati is another option)... and all travel together from that point on. St. Louis to Venice Beach is 27 hours. (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Saint+Louis&1s=MO&1y=US&1l=38.627201&1g=-90.1978&1v=CITY&2c=Venice+Beach+Boardwalk&2s=CA&2y=US&2l=33.984699&2g=-118.471802&2v=CITY) With a driving rotation you don't even have to stop but to eat and piss.

Chicago to St. Louis: 5 hours. (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Chicago&1s=IL&2c=St.+Louis&2s=MO)
Asheville to St. Louis: 9 hours. (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Asheville&1s=NC&1y=US&1l=35.6008&1g=-82.554199&1v=CITY&2c=St.+Louis&2s=MO)
New York to St. Louis:16 hours. (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=New+York+City&1s=NY&2c=St.+Louis&2s=MO) (might want to link up with the Asheville caravan at some point)

Someone needs to be the photographer/blogger for each caravan. That shit is gonna be epic.

[guinnessford]

Waqgons ho!

Classic....

Hidden mesasge, too...

[guinnessford]

i hate to do it, but ima have to fly.

Guarunteed ticket for my road rage and hatred of people going 54 in the fast lane, blinkers not used or on forever.

I carry spare lug nuts and toss them at people.

Cog, how far from Tujunga are you?

I think you may have told me once before when you were in the middle of the fires

[pack3tg0st]

maybe a new poll now?

Looks like it's between Chicago and L.A...

[guinnessford]

Woo Hoo!

Ill drive to Chicago, but fly to So-Cal.

If anyone in my area , including NY NJ PA DE wants to carpool to Chi im down, hit me up somehow.

Ill take my truck, but it gets about 14mpg hiway.

Im not against it, its comfy and roomy just gonna costa us all a bit more.

Other choice is the mustang wich we will all need back sutrgery after.

My girls civic gets about 30mpg, thats also an option but a bit smaller.

[DeadSoul]

Do you think we would at least have the date confirmed by the end of this year? I have to have my vacation time for the year in by the middle of January.

DS

[guinnessford]

Wow, thats kinda rough.

I hope we can, i need a little time but not really by a certain date.

[pack3tg0st]

well, once we nail down a location, I imagine we'll shop around venues in the city, and try to find a good time/place...

Should have the dates pretty quickly actually

[guinnessford]

Pack, whats your method of trans for either?

[pack3tg0st]

if its chicago, I'm only 3 hours away, so I"ll drive...

If its in cali, I have a warrant... so I'm not sure if I should go

If I do go to cali though, it's by plane...

It'll take some 34 hours to drive there from here.

[guinnessford]

I wouldnt worry bout the warrant.

Unless it is for homicide, or some capital crime where your pic is up in the post offices.

Too many other criminals that reside there that have outstanding body attachments for you to get picked up.

Unless of course, the ol Amkon bar fight breaks out.....

[pack3tg0st]

lol its not for a capital crime...

I'm just worried about getting pulled over.

I'd be wanting to rent a car there too...

[guinnessford]

Easy to remedy... obey the laws.

Cmon, ya cant pass up this trip.

I still have what little i saved to get to your neighborhood this summer.

as soon as we find out where it is, im gonna book a room

[Cogburn]

:lol:

Pack, looking to try your hand at LA traffic?

@GF: Tujunga is greater LA. I'm in SB, about 100 miles north.

[pack3tg0st]

lol i lived there for 3 years man...

I was dispatch manager for a chauffeured transportation company based out of north county san diego...

2006 Emmy awards... those limos on TV were mine... organized transportation for the whole event...

2007 Grammy awards... I handled fox...

Comicon... the whole works...

I know San Diego and LA traffic like the back of my hand...

Left that area for Michigan in april of 08.

[guinnessford]

Cool, than you know the ropes too.

Hard to get a speeding ticket when everyone else is doin either 95 or 5mph.

110 at 330 am, backed up crawlin at 5 mph.. my favorite

[pack3tg0st]

LOL SoCal traffic is only a mofo if you don't know what you're doing man...

You need to avoid certain areas at certain times...

know some of the alternative routes...

don't follow mapquest or a GPS pretty much...

CalTrans has a nice website for traffic conditions...

[Eyeforalie]

This is ra187's unofficial vote for Chi town.

+1

[Cogburn]

Let's just have an admin clear the poll and start over with two cities: Chicago and LA.

[guinnessford]

Ive driven there every time ive gone, about 9 times so far.

Ony real rural area i know is tujunga canyon, as i was staying there.

And around Via Marisol, those hills.

Didnt reall go to far and was kind of workin during the day.

Usuall other trips to Santa Monica and Hollywierd, Angelas Crest, but mostly local stuff.

Ive never been to Chi, so thats why Im in the "dont care" lane on this one.

[Eyeforalie]

Let's just have an admin clear the poll and start over with two cities: Chicago and LA.

Agreed.

[cartoon]

chicago sucks. i vote for worcester. we'll have the whole town to ourselves.

[KIWI]

I handled fox...


..big call.....hope you washed your hands afterwards....:D

heres a thought, GF, fly in with Pac "cuffed", take him in as your fugitive

[Lexion]

chicago sucks. i vote for worcester. we'll have the whole town to ourselves.

Ain't that the truth.

But, where's the fun in that ?

[guinnessford]

Worcester it is... we can get some cool shit at the polytech institute...

Is there a reward for you Pack?

[mojo]

Poll is reset.


I'd prefer Cali, we have a subsidiary in Napa so i could claim some expenses maybe, plus i'll have to bring my tribe and i reckon the kids would prefer LA.
