Something about watching hilarious YouTube videos while being unable to laugh out loud due to people sleeping makes it funnier still... I'm gonna need to make a list of some new ones for this year.

And I'm bringing some movies that some people criminally have not yet seen.

What if everything you ever wanted CAME IN A ROCKET CAN!

Yeah, that was the best. I agree with ya Kyle, the inability to lol definitely made it funnier.

The fact that it was about 3am didn't hurt either. :lol:

And once again it's the same weekend as another convention I've already committed to attend. Maybe next year guys?

This year, I think we do need to make a point of keeping updated those who cannot be there. We've talked about it in years past, but usually it just consisted of everyone posting their pictures within a few days.

Does anyone know if one twitter account can be updated from a dozen or so different cell phones (via text message)? Getting a good wifi connection is problematic, but cell coverage is solid.

We could make a Facebook group for it, then you can post on that wall by sending "wall insertpagename message" to FBOOK.

Lulz. I understand. Facebook scares me sometimes...

I still think it'd be a good idea to have somewhere that we could post updates and such. Anyone more experienced with Twitter?

In other news, I'm planning on bringing my PS2 and MacBook Pro (with TV connection stuffs) again this year for the suite. So if you've got any DVDs you'd like to bring, you'd be welcome to use either of the two. You could also bring movies on a hard drive too.

I would really like to attend this time around. I had such a blast in '09.

Maybe we can give a presentation about designing stuff up in Illustrator and having it CNC'd? There are a lot of folks who seem interested in that.

No doubt about it - the 2011 show is going to rock :D

I'm pretty sure there are ways of doing that, at least on computers. Not sure if it will let you do it on a phone. You could just all use the same hash tag (#mgc11) and then it would be easy for people to search for it.

Brilliant!

I'd actually start a Twitter account for this... Also, unlike facebook (?), you wouldn't have to be a member to view the updates.

If we could get a Twitter account working for this that'd be pretty sweet.

Also, if I remember to bring the charger for my camera this year (which I totally forgot last year :lol: ) I'll upload pictures during MGC.

Metallica Man, I don't know if it will make it into the final cut, but in Episode 4 of the show I get a call and my ringtone is Possumus Monster Syndrome.

I moved all the MGC 2010 topics into a subforum inside MGC Discussion, so there's room for this year's topics!

Would you guys like this thread moved in there to get things started?
