LOL. This is the funniest thread I've ever read. Cause I'm sitting here and picturing the pure hilarity of the proposed event. LOL.

I think Canada would be the best place to go, cause financially, it'll be great for you Americans and it'll do wonders for our Candian Ego.

That aside, let's face it. Most of us are beer drinkers (some of us more than others http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif ). And if you wanna enjoy the party, where better than where the REAL beer is? HUH???????? We'll supply the Molson, ya'll (always wanted to say that!) supply the embarrising drunken moments. So what do you say????

Canada sounds great! I've always wanted to travel outside the country. Sweet, hell yeah, lets meet up in canada.

CutiePie2000,

Those places sound awesome. However, I'm not much of a skier *LOL* I basically rolled down Squaw Valley once *LOL* I guess I should of started with a training class at Boreal. The only place I've been to in Canada was Bamf? when I was a baby my parents took me up there and they told me its very pretty up there. Canada would be an awesome trip and GPHI2K, your pretty convincing *LOL* Gotta love the cheap prices on the tasty refreshments. However......, AMY has an excellent point. I've never gone to Vegas and they do have cheap airfares from all destinations. *LOL* Especially L.A. I'd be cool with what anyone decided. Lifesaver, you got me rollin with that picture. Actually one time I helped out this AXP DJ a Wedding Reception Before. I dont think its me but hey I'm for the mission. *L* You know I'd be throwin down with all kinds of music. Especially ERASURE, DMB, LIVE, SKA, G FUNK. I definitely would take all the special requests from the ladies. I love the picture with John walking around with his bodyguards like MIB. LOL More and More I think about it its got to be VEGAS. Yep. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

OK--my vote still goes with Louisiana. Y'all have no clue how much fun it would be. Just ask my girl BabeLSUSA...I know how to throw a GOOOOOD party. And I know my girls prospectiverushee and juniorgrrl will back me up on how good the food is down here. The food is WELL worth the trip!!!!!

Lifesaver--I loved your post!! For some reason I could see BillyOptimist being the MC too. He just has that type of personality. OH...and I think I would definitely win the most embarrassing story. I'm such a klutz and I do the goofiest things sometimes.

BillyOptimist--I'm still willing to get Britney to perform for you if you come down!!! LOL.

And for all of my fellow Dave lovers...I would have him come down and of course since I would be the hostess for our little soiree he would pay me all of his attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK-Canada? WHY WHEN ITS SO COLD? ha ha ha

I vote for California!

The best part about Canada was when I used the ATM and got money; when my bank statement came to me a month later- the amount was less than what I took out- great feeling!!! Well if any of you visit NYC - let me know and I'll meet ya there! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Canada is definitely a bit chilly. California does sound like a pretty good idea. How about we all meet at Harrahs or Harveys in Lake Tahoe? That would be a fun night http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Plus, Harvey's has this killer seafood buffett along with those slot machines. Of course it is a tad bit nippy there too, but if we did it in the summer I think it would be pretty cool. You cant beat Lake Tahoe air http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

lol, i just saw her video. I'm gonna marry her. hehehehehe

Britney wouldn't just be coming for Billy - I love her too! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Although, I think we'd need Jimmy Buffett to play as well...no one compares to him!

Hm...I think we should have some Jambalaya, some boiled crawfish, some shrimp etoufee, some king cake...any other foods ya'll can think of?

nah, she would be COMING for me alone. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif hahaha

All the Canadians on this board have gone A LONG LONG way (You all are awesome!)towards healing my former attitude due to one Candian EX who really is the scum of the earth. Cutie Pie and GPhi2K and the XO's know what I am talking about and will agree with me...however...because of that seriously unfortunate experience, I am not quite ready to set foot on Canadian soil. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

SO VEGAS BABY VEGAS, cause its so money. LOL.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Plus, its my hometown. Yup, I grew up there, a true Vegas girl.

Sorry AmyCat,
We have no one from Quebec on this site at all so you can't blame all us Candians for someone who lives in a province that would cease to belong to Canada at all, if given the chance.

I think everything about this idea is absolutely hilarious. I can't even imagine what kind of hook-ups there'd be http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif !!!
And I think all of us Canucks would be fascinated to see how you American Beer drinkers handled our real beer as opposed to your near beer http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif .

Wonder if the moderators would have to serve as body guards, with Mr. Hammell as the head security guard. And what do you think of a senior member ceremony? You know, having those Junior members who are only one post away from Senior Member given a ribbon of somesort. And I do love the idea previously mentioned about a 1000+ posters club. They'd be the golden members, and receive a nice spool of golden yarn to represent their great and valued contribution to our threads http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif .

I think we should all just settle on Canada. Cause when it comes down to it, when looking at the pros and cons, you got good beer versus earthquake central. I dunno about you guys but I know where I'd rather be http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif .

Hi, though I don't really know you guys that well, from what I have encountered, you guys are really nice!! I'm happy that you guys have patiently taken the time to explain to me about Greek Life, since I'm only a HS Student http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I vote for San Francisco!! Gotta love my Hometown!! Union Square, Pac Bell Park: the most beautiful baseball park in the world, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, Golden Gate Bridge, the Cliffhouse...and the list goes on and on. Plus all those beautiful seaside towns are only minutes away! Such as Sausalito.

Or just anywhere in beautiful California. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Gphi2K, you're right though, we are in Earthquake Central, unfortunately!

<lying on the floor in the computer lab crying my eyes out LAUGHING looking the fool, and about to be escorted outta here by campus security>

GIRL! I am all about the BBQ. So down with that. SO to mediate here, hows 'bout the "Greekchat.com Formal Weekend" (I keep calling it the greekchat.com formal because I think including the .com gives it the air of corporate sponsorship, like the nokia bowl or something.) Anyway, if we make it a formal weekend, we could have the BBQ like on Sunday afternoon before we all head out or something, all casual, kickin it in a park somewhere, cookin up chickin, sitting on coolers, waiting for the step show to begin, ya'll see where I am goin with this. It would SO be the BOMB! That way, we could formal on Saturday at some Hotel or something, then BBQ and step on Sunday. See? BTW, we still have to be doin some 'lectric slide. Ya'll aint lived till yall see me in the boots TEARIN it up to the slide. (ALSO, BTW, and KABillyMac will so get my back on this, in the South, Red Wings, Khakis and a jacket ARE formal attire. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif)

KABillyMac, I am all for, in the words of Robert Earl Keen, "Some 5 Pound Bass" in the great white north. Do they actually have a moose season up there? Could we schedule this thing to coincide with Moose season? All I have ever hunted is sucky south-texas white tail or javalina (a cross between a rat and pig. Good eating if you grew up on it, but I must confess it IS a part of the rodent family. I swear.)


How about having Dave himself provide the entertainment, along with Brittney. (for you Billy) Ya'll knowq we'd all be having the after party in Mr H's Penthouse suite. YEAH BOYE!!!


[This message has been edited by lifesaver (edited March 31, 2001).]

I am with ya my friend. Glad to know I am not the only one on here with the redwing/khakis thing. Nothing like hitting a UT football game and just about EVERYONE in attendance is wearing the same getup. I was in mourning a few weeks ago because I had to send them in to be resoled. (for ya'll not in the know, you cant just let any unskilled cobbeler work on them, no, no, you must send them to the factory, where the original craftsmen created them, lovingly from the raw materials they once were). I had the wedge heel, but got the bigger one this time around, gave me an extra half inch, why not. I look that much more intimidating http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif in them. But I had to go without them for 14 days, ugh! I was so uncomfortable in anything else. But they came back looking GREAT! Alas, my old friends, been with me since '93. Still goin strong!

Lifesaver--I have to agree with you. In the South...Khakis, Red Wings, and a Jacket are what REAL MEN wear!!! LOL.

KABillyMac, lifesaver

I think there is a moose season (not sure when), but c'mon guys we got a lot more to offer than hunting and fishing http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif
But if that's what you really want we can probably travel to Timmins Ontario (10 hours north of Ottawa) to the middle of nowhere and hunt some moose - 'cause I haven't seen any in downtown Ottawa, sorry http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Speaking of southern food, what exactly is gritz? On my trip to daytona we stopped off at a truck stop and there was this stuff (food?) that looked like a pure lard mixed with eggs and grease - not too appetizing http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
I know i'm gonna take a lot of flak for this....but i think the food in Canada is better than in the states http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Lifesaver,
Buddy I thought I was one of the few cowboys left still wearing Redwings with khaki's. Hell thats about all I wear is Redwings, until I go play ball then I have to put those damn tennis shoes on. Yeah I dont know what we would do with ourselves in Canada, unless we were going fishing or hunting. But hey, have cold beer, will travel.

y'all are HILARIOUS!!!

lol @ greekchat.com formal

y'all know good & doggone well y'all will not be satisfied with just the electric and/or casper slide...someone is going to ask to see someone step. we may have to turn this event into a cook-out or something because steppin & formal attire just don't mix http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

BBQ! cool beans! BEER, no problem...if chicken is also on the menu, the Omegas will DEFINETLY show up (I love my Bruhs, I really do LOL)! LOL!

ok, grits (which, IMO, are YUMMY with butter & cheese) (courtesy of <A HREF="http://"http://grits.com"" TARGET=_blank>grits.com</A>):

Grits are small broken grains of corn. They were first produced by Native Americans centuries ago. They made both "corn" grits and "hominy" grits.
Falls Mill produces "corn" grits.
Corn Grits
Falls Mill mills locally grown whole white hybrid corn. The corn is dried to a 14% moisture content, then each kernel is cleaned with forced air. The kernels of grain are run through the mill stone where they are ground to a certain texture and then sifted through two wire mesh screens. The three products sorted are white corn meal, white corn grits and the bran that pops off. There is a fine bran still in the grits product. This bran will never soften up with cooking. Depending on personal preference, the bran can be left in or removed by rinsing the grits before cooking. Yummy!

Hominy is made from field corn that is soaked in lye water (potash water in the old days) and stirred over the next day or two until the entire shell or bran comes loose and rises to the top. The kernel itself swells to twice its original size. After the remaining kernels have been rinsed several times, they are spread to dry either on cloth or screen dryers.

Oh I forgot to share! I found out 3 weeks ago that Sammie17 lives 5 BLOCKS away from my house in good old San Francisco!!

Is that the coolest or what?!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif I have not yet met her in person though, cuz she's still at school. But, we've emailed and emailed, and when she's back in May, I'll meet her!

I'm all for meeting up at Mardi Gras next year! Just found out I'M GOING!!WOOHOO!!!!!!
But the whole meeting offline thing is cool! Making friends IRL has become much tougher since the internet came along!

Cutiepie2000,

Gotcha http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Thats cool. I always forget how its spelled. One day I want to make a trip up there.

Sigmagrrl, Sounds like a plan with Mardi Gras http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I'm up for it. I have yet to meet you all and experience Bayou country at its finest http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Kevin

Yah, that'd be quite the event. Bunch'o greeks meeting up at Mardi Gras. My guess is we'd have a great time, but none of us would remember the next day. Granted, could you imagine what a party that would be http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif ?!? But again, i remind all of you about the many wonders of Candian beer. Once you try it, you'll never go back.

But if you want beeds instead of beer, i understand....

Alright--her's the deal. Is there anybody out there in Greekchat land that's knows they are coming to Mardi Gras next year besides sigmagrrl? Here's what I'll do--if anybody decides to come down I will personally throw everybody a party and show y'all around NOLA. HOW'S THAT for a deal??? I want everybody to come visit me here in Louisiana.

Oh and by the way--is there anybody on here that lives near Sacramento??? The Sigma Alpha National Convention is being held there in October and I'd love to meet some Californian Greekchatters while I'm there!!!!!
