Yes, people, it's happening again! MrsG and I are in the process of planning the second annual TalkCSI NY Forum trip to Los Angeles. We're in the beginning stages, but we have a weekend set and want you to mark you calendars now: Thursday, July 31st--Sunday, August 3rd Everyone is invited! Those that went last year can attest to what a good time it was. We had about seventeen people last year and the activities varied from going to the beach, hitting clubs and shopping. We haven't finalized any plans yet for this year, but things we've talked about include: *Pizza and Porn night! *A trip to Venice beach and a walk along the Boardwalk *Universal Studios tour/theme park *Beverly Hills shopping and a trip to Sprinkles cupcakes (trust me on this--they are that good!) *Hike at Fryman Canyon (a little less rigorous than Griffith Park for those who suffered last year ) MrsG and I will be doing the legwork on finding restaurants and scheduling/booking activities, but we want to hear from you is who wants to come! Once we have some idea of numbers, we can start planning activities. Like the Team Flack t-shirts for last year's trip, we'll once again be getting some sort of themed shirts. We'll throw out some options once we look into a few things we're considering. As it was last year, buying the shirts is of course optional. Because it's so kick-ass and answers so many questions (and does pertain to the trip this year as well), here is MrsG's post from last year, which covers some questions you might have about accommodations, transportation and other details: Let's make this year even more kick ass than last year's trip!

Well bugger me backwards with a fish fork... this sounds bloody amazing! Do you get many Brits going at all?
We were lucky enough to get Elsie and MrElsie to join us last year! And Orison came from overseas as well. It's definitely an international board, and it's great to have folks come over from across the pond!
Well, dang, that was all you had to say to get me, really. :devil: :lol: I really am going to try to get there this year again. One way or another, you guys will be seeing me!
Yay!!!! This year must have lots of Kimmy. BTW, for those interested, here's a link to the first trip thread. And the second one for the first trip as well.
This almost makes me want to take the money that my parents are using for my college education and use it for this. But the key word is almost... Or win the lotto. That could work too.
This is very tempting! But sadly, I am already planning a trip to the US for the end of the year, so I'm gonna have to sit this one out. I'll definitely try to make it if there's another trip next year! Hehe.
*sigh* pizza and porn night!! ooohhhh...i would go just for that! But university has drained all of my meager earnings away. However i am graduation (yay!) this semester, so i will have to see...
Come to NY! lol I can do anything in NYC even thou im young=X But I dont know have no connects in LA haha Have fun everyone!
Top and MrsG, you are both awesome! Last year was fantastic, and that was due to the great people and great planning that was put into the trip. Everyone should try and attend if possible, meeting everyone last year was wonderful and LA is fantastic. MrElsie loves pizza (a lot) and porn (maybe). Oh right, gay porn... Nah, he won't go for that. But I guess that means I can leave him at the hotel for the evening. :lol: We're hoping to make the trip again this year. *is excited*
Guys, I can't stress enough what a great time this was last year. It's a blast to meet all the familiar faces you see online everyday live and in the flesh. You come away with a deeper bond than you're typically able to build through Internet communication alone. We're really hoping that everyone who attended last year will return and that those who weren't a part of the board last year, or perhaps just weren't able to make the trip, will do everything in their power to make it this year. A big thanks to Top for getting this thread started.
i want to go. but its so expenisve to travel to the us if i had won the lotto or just rob a bank or somthing.. id be there in a split seckond
OOf, that sucks! I'm iin Kenya (or Tanzanija - depending on the safty of Kenya) on those exact dates! What are the chances!? If it wasn't for charity, I'm sack the trip and come with you guys :lol:. Count me in for next year and keep us up to date with how much fun you have on this one Have a blog or something And bring me back a Sprinkles cupcake, okay?
