Bye Bye OKC!

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Oklahoma StopAnother acronymed city after ABQ, we just left OKC and are on our way to our new stop in Springfield, MO. Not only did we hand out some swags to our fans, we also handed out some to others who were curious about the car. We didn’t have time to take a look at the city at all, as we had to get back on the road right away.

Thank you Dralon from Elendilmir, Wildardos from Brandywine, Aqamanthes and Enduril from Nimrodel for coming out to meet us!

Flew Through New Mexico and Texas

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Darmoor, Ghallanda, DDOWe crossed two states, two time zones today, due to losing two hours in one day, our schedule today’s very crunched and we just make it into the hotel! We are now at the edge of Oklahoma state in the city of Erick. Regardless, we were glad to make it to Albuquerque, NM today and met Darmoor from Ghallanda DDO! He said he’s too hooked on DDO right now to play LOTRO, but we gave him some LOTRO swags anyway, we love players from all of our games!

Frontier Restaurant, ABQ New MexicoAlso, per Darmoor’s excellent suggestion, we had a late lunch at the Frontier Restaurant since the Central Connection Cafe was closed. We had some excellent and well-priced Mexican food. If you are ever in ABQ, do try it out :)

Springfield, MO Added to the itinerary!

By popular demand, we’ve added Springfield, Missouri to our itinerary, and we’ll be at the local Dairy Queen tomorrow. Check out the itinerary to the right for the address and time!

On another note regarding our itinerary, we’ve made some adjustments to the rest of our trip. If you’re planning on coming out to meet us somewhere, be sure to check the itinerary before you leave to make sure you’ve got the current schedule. Any changes are marked with an *.

From Vegas to Grand Canyon

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Hoover DamToday was rather uneventful, driving from Vegas to Grand Canyon really is interesting. You go from the height of material civilization to almost all nature. We drove over Hoover Dam, which was very awesome. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get any pics with the car at Grand Canyon because the parking lot’s far. Charles Daisy was too terrified of the Grand Canyon’s height to even get near the edge. He also kept saying the vultures would get him if he gets close.

We just arrived at Galaxy Diner right now and will be heading to the hotel afterwards. We will try to upload some more pics tonight!

It’s Irvine, CA for lunch!

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

We’re still en route to Las Vegas, but earlier today we met some great people.

img_0353.jpgStopping at the famous Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles today, we saw the famous Capitol Records building, part of the Hollywood walk of fame. Charles insisted he had a star on the walk, but we didn’t believe him until he showed us!img_0357.jpgimg_0359-copy.jpg

After seeking out the famous Hollywood sign, we headed on to Irvine to meet some fans of the game and have lunch. Dagaz Ulf and Gurri were kind enough to meet with us in the hot sun, and Dagaz Ulf brought us donuts! Then, it was off to Las Vegas!

We’re departing San Francisco right now, and are a little sad. We certainly enjoyed ourselves here, and it was nice to have a little rest. We saw Union Square and Alcatraz, and since the Golden Gate Bridge was completely and utterly enshrouded in fog last evening, we stopped there this morning to get a quick shot of it in the new day’s sunrise, and an only partially hidden bridge.

Last night, we met Volras, Lucilla and Corentin from the Penumbra and Mithril Crowns guilds, all of whom play on Elendimir. They were a great group of people and drove all the way from San Jose to see the car! Lucilla was particularly excited to meet Charles Daisy, and had brought along a long lost cousin to reunite them.

In all, San Francisco is a great place, and we can’t wait to come back!

Next stop: LA and Hollywood, on the famous Hollywood and Vine!
