A few GCC members recently got together in real life to meet and just have a darn good time together. This years US event was held on Lake Erie in Sandusky Ohio at the Cedar Point amusement park, while the Euro Meeting took place in lovely Amsterdam. Now we bring you some photos from the outing and even a few narrative comments to bring you along for the ride. This album is designed to work best with 1024x768 screen resolution.

Day 1 and 2 - The Journey Begins

The trip started on a Thursday for most. Badger was already driving to the hotel and Smitty and his fiancee Nancy headed over to Smaug's place for some Dave & Buster's fun in the evening and then the drive out to the hotel on Friday. Meanwhile Reyak was picking up Seser from the airport and they proceeded to have some dinner and play some Anarchy Online. Rymfax, Reyak, and Seser all hooked up and started their travel on Friday, while OneWickedKitty picked up Chief Wu and headed to the house to meet with the others. Once we were all set we left and met up with Lepro and The Scarlet Termite for a quick lunch and traveled up to the hotel. Slipstream and Arachnia both drove up as well on Friday. We all arrived at various times throughout the day. Reyak, Rymfax, Seser, Slipstream, Badger, and Arachnia all headed to the local Applebee's to begin the festivities and the rest of us hooked up with them later at the hotel and we all grouped up for dinner. From there we got a little split up and a few of us ended up at a Karaoke bar belting out a tune or two, then finished the evening by relaxing in our rooms.
