Drive to Gearbox
The drive down to Plano, TX was a fairly long one for me, so the first thing I did was stop by Jimmy's Egg when I got down to Oklahoma City so I could get a huge ass omelete and some coffee. I'd been up since about 4:45am because while I may have had the day off from work, I still had a lot of stuff I had to take care of to ensure that I wouldn't be getting assaulted with phone calls. I was on the road a little before 10am and since Google Maps said I'd be at the destination around 1:35pm, I had to let CrustaR know that I wouldn't be able to swing down to his place and then hook back to the offices. Well, Google Maps was wrong, traffic was light, and the weather was beautiful so I made it to the Gearbox parking lot around 1:10am. That and I didn't make a planned pitstop in Ardmore to use the bathroom/get more coffee. So now I feel like a douche and like I owe CrustaR something. I'll even play Demon's Souls if it'll cheer him up.
While I was sitting in the parking lot, I feverishly shot dognose text messages to make sure I had the right building. I didn't see anyone else there (though I guess I wouldn't since I didn't know what anyone else looked like), so I just sat in the car and posted on the shack about not being sure where the hell I was. Texas is a crazy state. The toll roads don't make any sense, apparently there's no speed limit unless you get pulled over, traffic gets pretty hectic, and you guys have Dairy Queen. It's a totally different world from what I'm used to!
Dognose and EricZBA shot me a message saying that they were there and looking for me, so I hopped out and rolled on over to the front door to meet them. Eric tried to take my picture but it didn't come out for some reason, so he just shot a few of dognose instead. We loitered around in front of the door for a bit waiting for more people to arrive. Pacav rolled on up soon followed by Goto10, Boomstickah, ninjase, and Pandastrong. It was cool getting to meet everyone for the first time!
