CK1

With Con season rapidly approaching, Chase and I thought it would be appropriate to announce the inaugural launch of CK1! This year’s adventure, CK1, will begin August 21st and will mostly likely end Sunday the 31st with a red-eye back to the east coast. Chase and I have planned three or so major stops.

The first of said stops will be Pi Con, located in the great state of Massachusetts. The plan thus far is to travel with the utmost dignity, class, and style; that is to say, by rail. We’ll hop The Crescent and steam north to or nation’s capital. There we’ll catch The Vermonter which will take us further north to New England’s bustling center of culture and business: Springfield, MA.

After a weekend of gallivanting with the likes of Cory Doctorow and Randall Munroe, guests of Pi Con, we were thinking of chartering a mid-sized sedan and heading eastward to the City of Notions (Boston Proper) for a day or so, to take in the sights. From there it is due west to our next major stop, The Windy City.

The plan gets a little hazy as we kill time until we decide to fly further east, over the murderous Rockies, to our final destination: Seattle for PAX 08! Suffice to say, the weekend will consist of a 72 hour binge of gaming and geekery of all kinds and, as a plus, GeekNights will be holding a panel! That’s the plan so far. Ideas are welcome. Any and all are welcome to join our Great Adventure on any leg of the journey, unless you are a person who we would find particularly annoying and/or unwholesome (in which case we would likely let you know immediately). Please rsvp asap so we can plan accordingly.
