philipballewI hate that. How can I test it then.16:24
kdubif they really wanted to test you in ways that'll never happen, they'd make you take your test on horseback16:29
kdubthat'd be cool :D16:30
philipballewWell I could go right down to sunset cliffs and take the ride on the beach16:30
itnet7kdub: that would be classic (the horseback test) ;-p16:45

philipballew3 hours by train, 7 by car. you have it hard17:17
itnet7bkerensa: is that because of connecting flights?17:28
itnet7(16 hour trip)17:28

philipballewwell its good for a trip from Auburn to Oakland17:35
itnet7bkerensa: that would be pretty interesting, at least today they probably have wifi17:36
itnet7I looked at taking amtrak once for my family to visit our relatives up north, the one where you can actually put your car on the train, it was going to be 27+ hours17:37
bkerensaitnet7: no wifi actually =/17:38
itnet7:-(17:38

itnet7philipballew: it will work out, if it's meant to17:46
pleia2itnet7: my fiance would kill me if I offered more, but you're welcome to spend 2 nights on my couch if it helps with costs17:46
pleia2(he likes having visitors, but I push limits a bit when I say someone is staying for a week :))17:46
itnet7pleia2:  :-)17:46

philipballewthats probably pretty firm and you dont have to get up to shower17:50
philipballewbkerensa, why do you like firm?17:51
bkerensaphilipballew: idk :P17:51
itnet7I was looking into the Clarion, I wonder if the package deals would let me stay less nights at places17:51
philipballewseems good bkerensa. Do we just find out who my bunk mate when they walk in the room or wjat?17:52

pleia2philipballew: you can email your contact at canonical to ask who your roommate is, but most of us just find out when we show up17:53
philipballewpleia2, I like surprises17:53
pleia2philipballew: also, don't actually give up space in your sponsored room without talking to your roommate, it's really not cool17:53
pleia2there have been a few incidents where people brought girlfriends and things, not good :(17:53

bkerensa:P pleia2 was joking17:55
bkerensa:D17:55

DonkeyHotei/ghost bkerensa17:59
bkerensaheh17:59
itnet7pleia2: you've probably been asked this 1000 times, but it's better to fly into SFO right?18:00
philipballewOakland is good if you can, but might be more $18:01
pleia2itnet7: it tends to be cheaper18:01
DonkeyHoteiOAK is closer than SFO but always costs more18:01
pleia2I'll fly OAK, SFO and even SJC depending on cost18:01
DonkeyHoteiSFO is always cheapest, but check southwest air18:02
philipballewMy favorite airport is reno.18:02
DonkeyHoteireno has an airport?18:03
philipballewyeah. I flew there to boston two years ago18:03
DonkeyHoteireno is doable from sac, but not from oakland18:04
DonkeyHoteijust too far18:04
bkerensaSac is horrible :P and I am a Sac Native18:04
philipballewonly in nevada can you go to an airport and see slot machines on the tunnel from the terminal to airport18:04
DonkeyHoteibkerensa: just the airport, or in general?18:04

bkerensamust*18:05
philipballewPlacer high ftw!18:05
DonkeyHoteii don't know where the lead singer of Deftones lived18:05
DonkeyHoteii have lived in Sac twice in my life, and both times felt joy in returning to SF18:06
bkerensaDonkeyHotei: We both grew up in the wonderful neighborhood of Oak Park18:07
bkerensa;)18:07
DonkeyHoteiugh18:07
bkerensaif you know what that is then you will know thats sarcasm18:07
bkerensa;p18:07
DonkeyHoteioak park...18:07

bkerensaDrivebys.... and lots of gangs in the 80's and 90's18:07
bkerensa:P18:07
philipballewIts still the same iirc18:07
bkerensaI imagine so :P18:08
bkerensaI only lived there till the end of Elementary school though :P18:08
philipballewthere is not much to do in that part of sac really18:09
DonkeyHoteinor any other part18:09
philipballewtheyre adding a downtown arena. maybe that will boost downtown18:10
philipballewnot that I watch basketball really though18:10
philipballewbut best of luck to them18:10
DonkeyHoteidowntown is full of more and more empty retail space18:10
DonkeyHoteihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtAZ8jXYL-w indeed18:11
bkerensaDonkeyHotei: lies lies :P18:11
bkerensaOld Sac is always epic fun18:11
DonkeyHoteiyes18:11
DonkeyHoteibut that's about it18:11
DonkeyHoteithere's never any other reason to go to sac18:12
bkerensathe river is nice too in the summer18:12
bkerensa:D18:12
philipballewI like the american river bike trail18:12
DonkeyHoteiamerican river in summer is way too hot18:12
bkerensanotably though I have not been to the river there in uhh 20 years18:12
bkerensa:D18:12
bkerensaDonkeyHotei: thats why its epic18:12
bkerensa:D18:12
bkerensano cold water.... lots of sun and lots of boats18:12
philipballewIn Auburn, about 5-10 people die every year18:12
philipballewlately18:13
bkerensaof sun?18:13
bkerensa:D18:13
DonkeyHoteii went whitewater rafting on the american river the first time i lived in sac18:13
philipballewtruckie has to get rid of its snow somehow :)18:13
bkerensaI mean I will not dispute the fact that Sac is pretty boring :)18:13
DonkeyHoteii think it was from folsom to northgate18:13
bkerensawow18:14
bkerensathats a long trip18:14
bkerensaMost of my friends and my cousins still go down to sac for beer floats18:14
bkerensawhich I guess is when you have a bunch of rafts tied together and have cases of beer and kegs on board and yeah you get the idea18:14
bkerensa:D18:14
DonkeyHoteii no longer remember what the starting point was; i'm just guessing folsom18:14
* akk envisions beer with ice cream, "beer floats"18:15
bkerensaakk: ewww18:15
bkerensa:P18:15
pleia2guinness floats happened at a pennsylvania release party once18:15
pleia2I preferred the irish carbombs at one of our lan parties myself18:16
* bkerensa can barely drink beer as it is.... I usually end up giving away more beer then I drink :P18:16
pleia2(at least, what I remember of them :))18:16
bkerensabut a nice rum drink with pineapple juice or something :D18:16
pleia2http://gallery.ubuntupennsylvania.org/v/20080216/IMG_5095.JPG.html18:17
pleia2:)18:17
bkerensayeah looks like trouble18:18
bkerensa:P18:18
pleia2I can't drink like that anymore18:19
bkerensaUC Davis has this fun drinking game.... You basically drink your favorite liquor and then you make a huge pot of spaghetti noodles and put mounds of it on plates.... then must eat with hands behind your back... first person to clear gets $10018:19
pleia2I was a skinny thing back then, but I outdrank most of the people at the party that night18:20
bkerensaLOL18:20
bkerensa:D18:20
akkbkerensa: So it's a drinking game as in "a game that doesn't involve alcohol except that you won't play it until you're already blasted"? :)18:21
akk(sounds fun to watch)18:21
akkIs there sauce on the spaghetti?18:22
bkerensaakk: yeah... I tried it around holidays last year with my cousin who is a aggie and uhh its not so fun18:22
bkerensa:P18:22
bkerensano sauce18:22
bkerensajust plain noodles18:22
bkerensaand lots of jerrys rum18:22
akkWith sauce it would be both more fun to watch, and tastier.18:22
akk(just not more fun to clean up after later)18:22
DonkeyHoteii don't see ice cream in that pic18:24
pleia2DonkeyHotei: those are the carbombs, not the guinness floats18:24
DonkeyHoteiok18:24
bkerensapleia2: what is a carbomb?18:25
itnet7carbombs are awesome18:26
itnet7guiness mixed with bailey's I believe18:26
pleia2bkerensa: it varies, but ours were a shot of jack daniels dropped in a pint of guinness, then chugged18:26
pleia2baileys is the girly way ;)18:26
bkerensauhh18:26
bkerensa:(18:26
itnet7:-)18:26
bkerensaI love the jack but guiness ;p18:26
pleia2you have to drink it fast otherwise it gets all weird18:26
* bkerensa should bring some Mead down18:27
itnet7I'm sorry, it actually was guiness, bailey's, and Jameson18:27
bkerensapleia2: have you had jagerbombs?18:27
akkSounds kinda nasty either way, but nastier with Bailey's (and I love Bailey's).18:27
itnet7though it sounds good with Jack18:28
bkerensathat stuff makes me :x18:28
itnet7considering I haven't drank anything for @ a year or so now18:28
itnet7It doesn't do much for me either bkerensa18:29
itnet7:-)18:29
itnet7pleia2: there are some interesting geocaches nearby ;-)18:30
bkerensaimho liquor should never have a licorice or pine needle taste18:30
bkerensa:D18:30
itnet7The one at Alcatraz prison seems cool!18:30
akkA geocaching walk would be fun. I've never done that, but would love to tag along and see what it's like.18:30
itnet7akk: If I'm able to come over, we'll go!!18:30
pleia2bkerensa: nope18:31
pleia2itnet7 took me geocaching for my first time in budapest :)18:31
