soup Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 So, it looks like your old pal soup has the Goldmember!. This meeting will be centered around Portands Shanghai Tunnels. What does that mean? GPS and Ghosts! How cool is that? (its VERY cool Mr. Soup!) Here are the gory details: I need at least 15 people to attend. Cost is $11 per person. It is worth the money. Flashlights are provided. Once I get a decent headcount, I will then work out the payment info with everyone(on a later post). I am still trying to contact the tour operators on a specific date. Right now, I can say it can be any day. Email me at soup_r_man@hotmail.com and let me know if you can attend. How many others you might bring, and if Wednesday is a good day for you. And dont forget to bring enough snacks for Scooby, since he is possessed! "I put instant soup in a microwave and almost went back in time." -Stephen Wright Quote Link to comment
+makaio Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 I've always wanted to check out those tunnels. While I'd like to attend, it's difficult for me to commit until I know when it will be (kids). Put me down as a strong maybe. btw, after reading some of the stuff on the 'Scooby is possessed' site, I don't know whether I should laugh because it's a joke site, or cry because there are actually people who believe that stuff! I especially enjoyed reading the general rules section. - Quote Link to comment
soup Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 That is the best time I was able to get for a tour of the tunnels. This gives you ample time to check and/or change your schedule. It is a blast, and well worth the $11 bucks. If your interested, I need to know ASAP. I will have to figure out the payment info (I gotta pay them a week in advance). I trust "most" of you... PLease post here if you are planning on joining us for this treat. The responses I have so far... Bodoni and Jenny Slinger91 (hopefully) Me and maybe 6 of my coworkers. And as an added bonus, I will place a virtual cache in the underground. Find a ghost, log a find! Lets hear from y'all. -C "I put instant soup in a microwave and almost went back in time." -Stephen Wright Quote Link to comment
+fractal Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 You know I'm up for it! Put me down as a yes... I might bring a friend, so add a 'maybe' to your total... But I'll be there for sure. -fractal -=-=-=-=-=-=- N 45° 30.ish W 122° 58.ish Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Sorry to miss this one, y'all. If you happen to walk into the shanghai tunnel annex (aka Magic Garden), then have a pint of PBR for me and give Viva Las Vegas an extra few singles. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Jenny will not be able to make it, but Bodoni will. I'm also inviting a workmate or two, but will post again if I get confirmation(s). Thanks for the organizational expertise soup! Quote Link to comment
+LaurenCat Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 that's the day before my first day of summer school. summer school starts at 8am and it's organic chemistry, so showing up reeking of gin ranting about ghosts may not be the best form. so put me down as a MAYBE unless you move it to a week later. kisses, lauren If there's gravity, then how you explain birds!?!

soup Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 Looks like some folks (TJ, Oregone, Lauren, and possibly others) are having trouble with this date. The date is not set in stone (since I havent recieved a callback from the tour organizer). Is there a date that would be better for everyone? I would like as many GC's to attend as possible. How about you post what dates you CAN go. That might be easier "I put instant soup in a microwave and almost went back in time." -Stephen Wright Quote Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Thursday nights are work nights (sometimes) and weekends are bad when it's nice out. Any other day is fine by me. Quote Link to comment
my sister Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Hey soup! I can make it on any day this month as long as it's 7:30 or later. Quote Link to comment
+slinger91 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 August 2nd through the 11th. I will be taking my first week of vacation then. Quote Link to comment

soup Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 Ok, looks like as long as I have the event after 7pm or so, then most people can make it. When I return from my little holiday, I will call the Tunnel Tourguide dude. I dont understand why he has not called me back... too many bong hits Anyway, have a fantastic 4th everyone!! Dont set yourself (or anyone you like) ablaze. Those "snake" type fireworks are AWESOME baby! Quote Link to comment

+LaurenCat Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 As long as it's after the 19th of this month, i'll probablly be able to make it. Time of day doesn't really matter, but presumably it would be spookier to do it later, right? If there's gravity, then how you explain birds!?! Quote Link to comment
+dasein Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Soup and all, This is dasein here. This is my/our first post here ever. My personal computer geek "Mr. dasein" is already snoozin' (has to go to work tomorrow, and I don't...ha ha), so I hope I am doing this correctly. We'd sure love to hookup at local cachers' Wednesday night get-togethers. Per previous post in same thread, so far it sounds like PDX Shanghai Tunnels July 17, 7:30pm? That would be good with us. Pretty much any day (ever), 7pm or later would be great. We have no kids (on purpose), just 4 great pets, so as long as we know a couple days ahead of time, we're there. Our good friend Shmoe, who we introduced to geocaching a couple weekends ago, will also be quite interested, I'm sure. So that would be 3 of us, possibly a 4th. Looking forward to hearing more. laurak (1/2 of dasein) Quote Link to comment
+DenaliNW Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Sounds very interesting, but Wednesdays are bad. Most other nights work though. Quote Link to comment
soup Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 Well, postpones it anyway. They (tourguide) finally left a cryptic (fractal?) message on my answering machine stating that the 17th would not work due to some rug or quilt show (sounded like rug). Honestly, that is what they said. Anyhow, they mentioned the 24th of July would be better, at 8pm. Its a Wednesday. I havent cemented the deal, since I cant contact them tonite (the supernatural needs an early bed time). I know DenaliNW, TJ, and Oregone will not be able to come Howz about the rest? Oh, and do you want have an interim GoldenSpike meeting? Maybe at the "White Eagle"? They have ghosts there too.

+LaurenCat Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 soup- the 24th is good, i think. (i may have a final the next day, but am not sure) also, i beleive that oregone might be able to make that day. i'm up for an interim thing, too. how about tomorrow, y'all???? i'm soooo bored. If there's gravity, then how you explain birds!?! Quote Link to comment
+fractal Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Just put me down for "me only." Also, I think that TJ doesn't work on that particular Wednesday, but I'm not 100% sure... And yeah.. I'm up for something tomorrow night. I wanna go bowling again! But somplace that is air conditioned! -fractal Quote Link to comment
+1pilot Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Well, Joseph says he is up for checking out the ghosts and other spookey stuff in the tunnels,(he has a big flashlight to scare them back ) and I have him that week,(July 24) so put us down for a go! Bob and Joseph Quote Link to comment

+dasein Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Soup, Count dasein in (both of us) for July 24th Shanghai Tunnels. Been trying to get ahold of Shmoe to see if he's free to come too. Will let you know ASAP. We'd sure love to get together with the group tomorrow too, but this is such a super busy week. Who knows, we could wind up meeting you afterall. Until whenever , dasein (I just put the little rolly-eye guy above 'cause I thought he was cute!) Quote Link to comment

+Bodoni Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 The 24th will work for me, but that will reduce my count to just one. Tomorrow will not work though. I'm taking my Sis and Bro-in-law to see Frogz. If some of you meet at Absolutely again you might want to call the Hollywood Bowl and see if they have A/C. It's only a couple of blocks away and right at the Hollywood MAX stop. I hope you have fun! I'd like to bowl again . . . in a COOLER place! Quote Link to comment
