Are You going to the new office/garage sale/fan meet ? *Open Poll*


I can justify going to Canada, because I actually have friends in the Vancouver area and i've always wanted to go. But who has a spare 3 grand for flights. Heh. Also no passport seems a bit of an issue.

I may end up going since I live only 13 minutes away, but afraid of it being socially awkward. Maybe just pop by for the garage sale if there's something I'm interested in.

I really really REALLY want to go, but I live in Australia, it sucks. But if I ever go to Canada I'll probably stop by and like, knock on the door or some sheit for gigs.

I'm in South Dakota, that'd be like a 22 1/2 hour drive....   Even if I fly out there it's still a whole day back and forth...

I might send one of my friends from Canada your way since he's actually in or around your area...

I wish. I'm sure a bunch of the other Michiganders can agree.

 

I really hope they try to make a video of it. It's a great opportunity, and it would be kinda neat to see where some of the fans are from (assuming the fan in question is willing to at least disclose their home state/province or country).

Do we really want to know what people on this forum look like or were they are from  :D (also assuming you have not gone into the "post a picture of yourself" thread on the forum) haha

This for example would result in Linus possibly killing himself or getting a mullet, whatever comes first :P  

 

I like to think everyone on this forum looks like a perfect person from one of those ABC drama shows or something :D

Just show up in a car with tinted windows and watch from a distance, then if you want to get out make sure you have one of those morphsuits and communicate using a text to speech app. Problem solved. :D

I would if:

 

I wasn't broke as f**k

Wasn't so much of an introvert

Didn't despise sunlight to the point that if I was rich I would build a giant orbiting sunblocker, and if I didn't have a new legitimate medical reason for avoiding the sun (kind of a win because I despise the sun anyways)

If these bastard turnips would let me leave

if I had the time,

Why so many options?

Again with the turnips.

As much as I would like to I cant afford to drive from the bottom of the US to Canada to eat snacks and talk to youtube people.

Heathen!

I'm a hypocrite since I'm not going either for the same reason.

Nope, too far, too expensive, too un-safe, and I don't have a passport.

I doubt my mum would allow me to go anyways.

 

And my car doesn't have AC... so 42 hours of driving or so without AC.... yeah....

I am quite a big fan of Linus and everyone in LMG, started watching their videos since like 2013. However, I'm living in Singapore and still studying currently... :x Hope there's another fan meet during Sept/Oct or Feb/Mar next year (those months are during my school hoildays).

Had this been on my continent I probably would have made the trip, but flying to the other side of the world (literally) is beyond what my crazy-budget can carry. Would have loved to though.

From my location it wouldn't be much different from driving to Seattle (minus the border crossing, we need passports for that right?), but I'd rather not spend the gas to go. Nevermind missing work.

I live in New Jersey, but I could fly over (free vacation flight). My only issue is transportation and lodging once I'm in Canada. Anyone want to form a group for hotel rooms :D?!

The time for it would be during my uni hours just about the time classes start to get serious and will give out serious assignments. If it was on a more available day I might go because I have the money and it'd be cool but, whatever.

 

I also took a trip for about 5 days to Shitcago to see friends and I'm rather not in the mood for more air time and to go through the trouble of acquiring a passport and dealing with international section of the TSA.

Because there's 4,400 miles of travel distance one way... :P

 

If I could afford it, I'd definitely go. Just hope Linus does something like this again in the future. :)
