If you came back from damn Lima at least you could get together with Chris (Sekto Springs) and then go over and pitch a tent on OANST's lawn. And hug him.

Assuming April doesn't kick our asses out of their house. We could lure Simon over the border with an offer of transformers. Kimon could possibly join us once he realizes we much more valuable than his precious art. Then we could all hop on Pilot's time machine and head back to the birth of the forums and make ourselves admins. I'd like to give a big bunch of "jk"s to everyone.

Give me a couple of days and I'll post pictures of my Time Machine.

I just rue the thought of getting on a plane ANYWHERE. It's just so.... inhumane. If you all were going to do that I'd just have to find a way to be there.

How are you planning on getting to London and Melbourne without a plane? And how are you going to get to both of them and the US one without a time machine, given that we want to hold them concurrently?

You can stuff concurrence. That's what.

How about we have an American only Oddtour and make it so fucking spectacular that those of you who don't attend wish you had. I'm talking limousine with a built-in hot tub and a hi-definition tv rigged with all of the Oddworld games. Lorne will be payed handsomely to sign autographs, take pictures, and fellate anyone who asks him to do so. Every participant will receive a gift bag, inside will be pure gold nuggets, an Oddworld poster personally signed by the entire Oddworld team, your own pet fleech, a bottle of yoohoo, and a Adhesive Medical Strips ®.

Yes, YES, and every picture we take will have, for some inexplicable reason, a bicyclist speeding in front of the camera and thus ruining all the pictures.

Or a seagull swooping.

I wonder how long it will be until the people here get that joke.

Okay guys, what about Spring of '10?

What I'm thinking is that if we're going to get together and do this all at the same time around the world, then on my end it looks as if the closest 'meet' I'll be able to make is going to be east coast US, which I'd be willing to drive to some place like Pennsylvania.... where Sekto Springs, Used, and ideally Kastere sound like willing participants.

How does Spring sound to the rest of the world? It's a compromise for all of us in the northern and southern hemispheres.

PA could be doable, since I'm probably going to be living in or near either Philly or Pittsburgh, but only Pittsburgh if it's spring of '10.

I'd kill to have some groups near me but given the relative 'cluster' of you guys near PA I can give a little. It's still a 2300 mile drive.

Yeah. Hell, I'm up for a roadtrip if money and time permits it. Toronto could be nice too. In fact, I think I might prefer that since I've been longing to visit Canada again.

I'm not driving to Toronto.

I can attend the majority of the trip as I'll be off school by then and I would give anything for a cross-country tour.

How about you fly over here and then we'll drive back to PA?

I HAVE A NEW ODD TOUR CAR!!

I always have wanted to do a cross country trip of North America. Lesgo.

I wanna go too :(

Yeah, lesgo! Let's stop talking about it and actually do it. I'll be the pilot. :)

Let's figure out timing based on when you guys (and girls?) are free. I'm flexible. My car really won't seat more than 4 comfortably if that's what you guys want to do. We can make it like a college roadtrip :p

I've been meaning to take a roadtrip for a while. I really wish I had a van... and a driver's license.

Well, I'm quite serious about arranging a cross country road trip. I dunno, but if we make a big enough deal out of it we might be able to make this whole thing semi-official; particularly considering the fact that we want to do this around the world simultaneously. It's mostly hope and speculation, but who knows? At very least it'll be rib-ticklin' fun.

Justin don't say words like "rib-ticklin" if you want me to feel safe around you in a small car for god knows how many days.

You'll laugh. I'll laugh. EVERYONE WILL LAUGH.

Are we having fun yet?

Plus, I said rib-ticklin' not boner-ticklin'. Sheesh.

We ought to steal the AO bus. Who here is from Germany?

And who here has access to 1997?

Well... I live in Denmark.. right above Germany.. But I lack a time machine :(

Mmm-hmm.

also, we're supposed to have a cow-tipping party in the next Odd Tour, requested in this thread.

bless BTG.

I suddenly understand a phrase I saw on a waitress shirt when I was in Las Vegas, lol.

'Tip waiters, now cows.'

All week I've been thinking about how that doesn't make any damn sense and now I know. Thank you!

Anyone else want to come on a great trip around Australia? I know even the Aussies here haven't done that.

i'm new to the whole 'tour' thing but i'd love to go ;D i'm a huge oddworld fan and would love to meet in london :D:D

OP: It may be possible for me to attend if we meet in England.

But it's a big "maybe", plus most of the above conversation seems to point to us meeting outside of England.

i think they're having multiple Odd Tours in different countries around the same time.

This is what my original plans were as I desperately want to go back to Australia. Depends. All Depends.

And not the adult diapers.

Australia would be fabulous, but I dunno if I can pool enough money together to purchase a ticket. However, if we figure it out a minimum of four months before it actually takes place, tickets will be well within my price range.

With you? Yes. When? I'll meet you there.

Then me, Charlie and Olly will have our own one in London >:, love triangles abound!

Yes! Give me fair warning and I can save some cash, and then quit my job.

Alcar...

Start saving, because I am still thinking Springtime. What's the consensus?

What we could do is a combination tour, I suppose.
But is it a shorter trip to Australia from the West Coast than the East? I would assume so.

If we're going to have a US Oddtour at all it's going to have to be more than two people, otherwise I'm bootscootin' it overseas.

MAH BOI!
