What would you say if there was another Odd tour?

Ya know something got me thinking about the Odd Tour we had a long time ago.

And a thought came to me and I was woundering what would you say if we decided to have another Odd Tour? I mean I am not planning on doing anything but its just a thought.

Like this time it would be a road trip across the United States and Europe.

And it would be planned in a way that would be worked out as a summer long Vacation of some type. I real big trip that would last three months.

I am just cerious I am not planning on doing one but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it can happen again. Thoughts anybody?

I've been there too, only to prove to my parents that I was right, and they were wrong! Ah, sweet satisfaction.

Another OddTour may never happen, but if it does, I hope that I'll be able to hop along and travel along. Although the possibility of that happening before I leave Year 12 is zero

Anyway, if you come over to the south-eastern part of the UK, you can pay me a visit if you want. Just I'm not that big a member here in OWF anymore, and I'm probably miles away from anyone else on OWF. The nearest OWF member to me used to be Anna, because she lived in London, but I haven't seen her around lately.
Hmmm, I dunno. . .
What so interesting about meeting me anyway? Probably not very much at all.

A road trip would be rather intresting with a few guys rideing along. It would be a trip down into Florida and back. With me it has to be a place that is tropical or warm like CA or Howaii or Florida or South Carolina in Mertle Beach. Though I have a small car Hundi Accent 2003 model and I couldn't fit everybody in the car. Most likely I would arrange it where we all book airline tickets to someplace to have a vacation. But with me comes responsabilty. Which means for something like that I would have everyone know exactly where we are going what we are doing and giveing them my phone number and address and my information so that no parant nobody is concerned. It would have to be some kind of arranged matter before the so called trip. Plus I would have to get the same info from everyone else so we are in constant contact. The idea is that I would need to be in contact with your family so they know. Thats really an extremely important matter. Its a federal offense to do stuff like that without takeing the measures to make sure things are ok and safe. Because if I did something like that and not do what I said then I can be thrown into prison. Mainly it would have to be an organised event like what Oddguy suggested in it being a convention. What I would do is send out invitations with my real name and address and phone number and then if your aloud or what not you would go and we would have the vacation or convention.

I mean I know this is the Net and things like this can end up being really serious but I think the members here at least in our lovely online community seem to be sane enough to be cool. I mean proof from the last Odd tour. I mean nobody was killed or raped right? Well we hope that never happened.

I am not saying its going to happen but for me I would really like to do something like that. Book a Hotel in Sunny CA or Florida or Howaii and sort of invite everybody to come and hangout for a week and have some real fun like just to do whatever and relax and have an Oddworld convention. But thats just me.

Ya know the best way to get to know somebody is to meet them and I think the Internet is just the wrong way to go at meeting strangers and makeing new friends in the real world. I hate that but oh well.

Yes, an orginized event would let the parents know that time, effort and money was being put into this trip and it wasn't a murder-fest. And contact with parents and constant info of what was going on would be required.

I'd like to really do this sometime. I'm serious about this. It'd be perfect to make the trip concurrent with the release of an OW game. We could rent a nice space and set up a huge sound system and nice screen/projector and play the game and do cool stuff. I'd even like to make t-shirts and stuff so we'd remember it 4eva! With an event that huge, maybe Lorne and crew could party with us.

*thinks of more cool stuff*

If you guys were to go through Arizona, I'd probably be able to meet you at like, the mall or something. I dunno. Maybe a Taco Bell. We could all get some chalupas.

I doubt it. Mainly because there is planning and orginizing to be sorted out. Maybe for the next OW game though...if things go well.

Ooohhhh! I love Taco Bell... I'd have a Grilled Stuft Burrito, a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, Nachos Belgrande, and an Extra Large drink! Mountain Dew: Code Red! Boy howdy I'm hungry!

Well, maybe if we worked fast we could make it for the Stranger Release! Who's with me?

Here is what I am planning on doing. Maybe not as soon but I am working with Oddguy on this idea. My part of the idea is to rent out a place somewhere warm for about one week. like a small beach front condo. The OW convention or vacation will be held at this place. It will be like a party or an open house type of event and what I will do is send out invitations to you guys even to you whome live in other parts of the world to participate in this vacation. Your families will be invited aswell to make it something you will remember for a long time. To make it legal it will be a public type of event inviteing you and your family to this get away for one week. That way nobody is suspicious of anything and it will be so fun. Like I said if I send invitations to you on this then your parents might let you come and join the fun. But thats something I can't control with your families but I will give you guys invitations anyway and you would RSVP so that I can make a list of how much stuff to purchase and to see who is comming and who is not comming.

Your families know that your Oddworld fans so this can be like an open house. Thats like the best idea. We would play games have food, music, and of corse Oddguy and his T-Shirts Heck Ill do art for ya guys and I would also even give an invitation to Lorne Lanning and the crew at OWI in hopes they come to the Oddworld Fan convention which I have no doubt he might if not its a try.

That is the proper way to do this because nobody will get in trouble because its organised and its public. And its not like we are going to meet some obscur individual at a mall or something. Its organised party. Right now the idea is in its infant stages. So we are looking at least maybe two years maybe one. Depends on what the budget is. So thats the idea.

Now buget wise its not too much of a hassl but right now I am looking to get full time hours so I can make enough money to rent out a place for a week. And believe me you can find some deals out there. It won't be anything real fancy or professional. it would be just a get together type of thing. There will be food but mainly you will have to be responsible for your own expenses like airline ticket and Hotel Accomadations in the specific area or what not. The condo I would rent out would be the place I will be staying at as the hosts and whoever to be a host aswell and I am sure Oddguy would like that.

But if you have any other ideas let me know we can always put together some OWF budget so that we could do this. I think its an awesome idea. Heck Ill look for some good locations and prices. The key is to organise this in a way that its like inviteing just people to a party.

I don't think that'd really be possible. In a perfect world, yes. In reality, no.

People would have to shell out the money to get there. Not all can afford traveling. remember, people are spread out from New England to California. That would be a major hassel. Also, the majority of us are under 18, and even with families invited, still wouldn't be allowed to go. I don't think parents would care to meet the parents of other online folk. Oh, and some people are overseas too.

Like I said, in a perfect world.
