ATS Adventure in Michigan is complete.

The meeting is now over, and despite a relatively light turnout, could only be deemed a success. The guilty parties… errr… those that participated were:

cmdrkeenkid (Host)
All Seeing Eye
Ycon
James the Lesser
intrepid
DeusEx
Mirthful Me

The afternoon, and evening were spent discussing ATS topics, consuming food, and beverage, then culminated with a gazing at the stars through the cmdr’s myriad of telescopes.

More sordid details to follow, along with photographic evidence of the various suspects, and their misdeeds.

Sounds like fun. Anyone want to have one in Pennsylvania? ^^

How cool.

Any transcripts of subversive plots?

Did anyone figure out who the narc was?

Seriously sounds like fun. Was it weird seeing people you chat with and using real names or did people just go with ATS nicks?

How neat!

I can't wait to see the pics!

Let me be the first to say it was unbelieveably yarr. yarr in a way that only things like this can be. The food was excellent, the company better. I drove down with Intrepid (six hours one way, four back because we took a different way). I can honestly say this made my summer. Mad, mad props to CKK on this one. Enjoy the Jolt, friend. And many thanks to Mirthful Me for his wearing of the ATS hat.

I've noticed a lot of ATS members in NC, I think that maybe Greensboro would be a nice central location for a meetup there :-)

Done and done. Tired but extremely glad I went. Imagine being at ATS, only focusing on a persons voice instead of typing. We started with a combo of user names and real names but it quickly went to real. I totally enjoyed it.
Commanderkeenkid, for such a job well done gets the missing letters to U. name.
Y"not"con, lovely lady, if a little quiet. The reasons:
All Seeing Eye didn't miss anything.
Mirthful Me was more than joyful.
James was none the lesser for showing up.
Deusex- traordinaire.

Yeah, I know I said I wasn't going to post tonight, just my way of saying I got home OK and thanks for a wonderful day.

Yeah, got back about .5 hours ago. Anyways, it was great, waiting for the pictures MM! People, you missed out!

I'm a short walk from there.

Or Western NC to draw our TN members...maybe even AL/Ga/VA?

Make it Blowing Rock or Boone along the Blue Ridge Parkway or Viaduct and I'll show you where all the bodies are buried.

Though I admit, G'boro is closest for me now.

me jealous of cmdrkeenkid's neat toys.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I wish I could have been there, but I live too far away.

If ATS ever sets up an official convention I'll hop on a plane and be there.

WAY COOL . Good to see you guys pull off a nice afternoon . Nice shack of toys !! i really like the giant remote control plane , and the star seeing tube thingy . Wall of computers and electronic gizmos was cool too . Hope y'all had a good time !

Hey it was a great party and a nice group of people. I will try to get some pics up tomorrow. I just got home a little bit ago.

GREAT PICS!!!

i realy liked the "toys"

my question is: is the plane cmdrkeenkid's and is it real???

that is soooooo cool

come and pic me up later, i'll be in NY

cant wait to see more pics...

this was an official convention!



not remote control, just a rubberband wind up.



yeah, it's real. it's a 1964 Cessna 150D. first year with the rear window, second to last year with the straight tail. it has larger than normal wheels, taken from a Cessna 206, which make it perfect for soft grass fields. also, for anyone who knows planes and thinks the fork for the nose gear is backwards, it isn't!

my pictures next now.

here's some pictures!
