/maybe, but it looks like it's already full. And people more entrenched in the Survivor community should have first dibs.

Is it warm enough to go swimming in NC in January? I remember it hovering around freezing when I was there.

What I remember about the downtown Disney trip is that we were seen as the wild partying contingent of the meet for wanting to go out instead of staying in and playing board games. :P Then after a meal and maybe a couple of drinks, we came back to the hotel, perfectly sober, and were greeted by wasted people. "Goddammit, we would've been better off staying here!"

I'd need to ask for time off really soon for this, so do you know yet if the meet is still happening or being canceled?

If there's a ton of demand for this meet and not enough space, though, I wouldn't mind giving up my spot for someone else. Firstly, I've been thinking about traveling somewhere in January or February, and combining both trips could be awkward. Secondly, I'm a bit worried I'll spend the entire meet as a ball of anxiety.

But my sanity! Also, Thailand, if I can successfully drag someone with me!

(Oh, well. I guess there wasn't much hope for my sanity anyway.)

If the meet was on the West Coast or further north, combining them would be much easier.

I was planning to fly in, because Montreal is a 13-hour drive from Raleigh and it seems to be like a 7-hour car ride or 12-hour bus ride from me to London, Ontario. Road trips are fun, though--is there a place I could feasibly meet you guys on the way if you're travelling east?

On the way back, I'm still trying to rope Jerry into meeting me at an airport and heading straight to Thailand, but the whole "thirty hours in a plane" thing is putting him off.

Yes, all two Canadian players will definitely gang up on the thirteen American players!

(If xofelf hadn't signed up, I was going to make a joke about spearheading an evil all-women's alliance.)

You should go back through London.

I need to have more scummers to meet if/when they drive through upstate on the way back.
I wouldn't be on the return trip anyway. Also, don't you come to Montreal regularly? That's plenty of chances to add more scummers to your list.

I'm sure you'll be plenty entertaining if you just communicate in text speak at the meet and talk a lot about your imaginary dogs.

By the way, I just realized, how close is this to Raleigh? I was planning to fly to RDU, but maybe not if it's on the other side of the state.

I'm probably flying in on Friday. Since I haven't bought the tickets yet, does it matter what time I come, and is someone picking people up from the airport?

Are there going to be hidden cameras in all the rooms so scheming can be recorded?

Also, um, I should probably book my flight right now. ._.

As long as they're released on a private stream so players can't see them.

Just checking before I book: arriving at RDU at Friday, January 12th at 12:14 PM and leaving on Tuesday at 5:54 PM is fine, right? Should I look for an earlier flight on Tuesday?

Reck said we needed to come in before 1 PM.

Booked! I should be arriving on Friday at 12:14 PM. I don't know if someone is coming to pick people up at the airport around then.

I heard BPC was picking people up, but I'm not sure who else is flying in around then.

I mean, I'm not sure it'll be doable to keep secrets about an entire meet for as long as it takes to edit footage into a coherent narrative and upload episodes one at a time (which could easily be months, given how it's an amateur production and procrastination is normal). It's not as though we're being cast in a network TV show and signing an NDA. It's a fun meet-up where we play a game, and the cameras are secondary. It doesn't matter if some people know the ending of our YouTube miniseries before watching it.

Xalxe, spectators don't have a say in whether you stay in the house, so your evil plan has a hole. :P

A huge thank you to Will, Brock, Ryan, Jason, and Cody for the amazing job you did on hosting and production. You put in so much effort and suffered through so much stress, but the result was fantastic. I was constantly impressed by every challenge, and I had way more fun than I expected. I'm really excited to see the episodes!

I wish I'd realized how much my strength as a player was looking cute and pathetic and useless. When I tried being more gamebotty, people stopped responding as well. Next meet, I vow to do absolutely nothing the whole time but have emotional breakdowns!

This was a great cast, and I hope to see you all again.

I don't know which one that's directed at, or if I flubbed someone's name.

(Also, when I saw the most recent post was from you, I was 100% expecting it to say, "IF ONLY YOU'D EATEN A SARDINE MORE QUICKLY," so you disappointed me.)

I think I just stopped having emotions on the third day, because we'd passed all the "feel shitty if you get booted here" rounds by then.

Please don't kill me for asking this, but roughly what's the timeline for the first episode coming out? I know it's loads of work and you probably don't want to think about this meet for awhile, so there's no rush. I'm just really excited to see how it turns out.

(If you guys decide it's too big a project, it'd still be cool to see confessionals and stuff dumped here unedited.)
