Party of doom part 3 Forign invasion

I've always wanted to go to the threadless offices, almost as soon as I discovered the website but I'm british and living in the UK makes popping up to the office a little difficult What with the atlantic ocean in the way.

So far all I've really been able to do is talk about an eventual trip to chicago with each year it being pushed back for various reasons.

What with the party of doom talk and the fact that alot of other international members would love to go it got me a thinking.

How about we get as many international members to travel up to the offices at the same time?

It would be cool to get together, meet the staff and meet a load of american bloggers, we could go see the tourist things in chicago, the offices (obviously) and then if we wanted to we could go to somewhere like new york city and have a meet up with bloggers there and see the city.

Or something.

Its going to be quite a while before I can afford to go (in fact I'd guess at a year) and I imagine it would take the same amount of time for everyone else to save as well.

But this is me saying if you lot are up for it then lets get saving and make it happen.

If your interested I'll put you down on a list.

I find the term "internationals" pretty offensive. Would you mind referring to yourselves as "International Americans"?

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 3:27pm

I dont really feel like petending to be american thanks.

DaddyDom on Jul 13 '07 at 3:28pm

Yay no one has anything useful to add!

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 4:19pm

What about us coloured racialist people? Can we come too?

If I denounce my muslim heritage and spit on the image of Allah?

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 4:22pm

I'm confused, when I said international I meant people living outside the US, e.g Britain, canada, mexico, australia.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 4:24pm

Am I not living outside USA if I have declared Jihad to the American people?

I dont think people like me.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 4:45pm

In Heaven you will have 40 virgins to do ur bidding.

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 4:47pm

I'm hesitant to make a witty comment for fear that you're actually muslim and I offend you.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 4:48pm

If you offend me I will sell my wife to you!

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 4:56pm

So would anyone serriously be interested in a trip to the threadless offices?

The only reason I'm doing this, this advanced is so people have time to save.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 4:58pm

nah, let's just hijack some plane and fly to the office building.

sometimessane on Jul 13 '07 at 5:04pm

it would be nice to make a trip to chicago but i'm already saving to go back packing through spain next year.

alister on Jul 13 '07 at 5:04pm

I am serious about going, but looking at it realistically, next year, it is mildly possible that i will be able to afford it, but the year after that (in two years) would suit me better.

The only thing that worries me is going over there on a plane alone (bit sad really) so maybe we could meet up over here and then fly over, with other threadless people (in small groups)

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 5:05pm

Yeah, let's all go to Chicago, it'll be funnay!

wotto on Jul 13 '07 at 5:07pm

seriously I think all thems americans should come to th UK - they can see us, give us limited tees and tote bags and spread the threadless word. I aint goin to Chicago they can come to us. Besides I got a wedding to pay for and I'm in boston for Xmas.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 5:10pm

I wouldn't go to Boston, haven't you all seen The Departed? Them bloody Irish mafia killing the whole town.

alister on Jul 13 '07 at 5:10pm

haha, i see your point wotto, and they should come over to us, and we should get limited tees and all the cool stuff too.

But i still wanna go visit the offices.

wotto on Jul 13 '07 at 5:10pm

I'll only go to the offices if they let me paint all over the walls.

wotto on Jul 13 '07 at 5:11pm

Boston for Xmas

NY for New year

to see good friends I miss dearly

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 5:12pm

Well two years would be a bit more time to save and I'd be happy to travel in a small group.

The flights would roughly cost about �600 from manchester to Chicago.

g3rpander on Jul 13 '07 at 5:13pm

New Yoirk!? Why? Haven't you seen Taxi Driver??

Theyre all nuts in the States!

alister on Jul 13 '07 at 5:19pm

Sounds good so far, its just a matter of saving so i can afford it. I would think, all in all, it will be quite a costly trip, but if i start saving now, in around two years or something, i should have enough.

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 5:22pm

Yeah and I'm going to take a guess but I dont think your parents would be too keen on a 16 year old flying to the states on their own so maybe two years would be better.

I still kind of want to go next year though because I should be able to afford it.

alister on Jul 13 '07 at 5:25pm

To be honest, i think my parents would let me, thats is i paid for everything myself and didnt travel by myself, but yea, in two years i'll be ready.

I could go next year when im 17 but i still wont have enough cash.

stubby43 on Jul 13 '07 at 5:27pm

Fair enough, well at the moment its just you and me mate.

2 days later

stubby43 on Jul 16 '07 at 3:47am

Anybody else interested in flying out at some point?

boysetsfrog on Jul 16 '07 at 3:50am

i could never afford to do this...

stubby43 on Jul 16 '07 at 3:56am

Why not?

boysetsfrog on Jul 16 '07 at 4:00am

*shrug* ...spend all my money on t-shirts

asfi235 on Jul 17 '07 at 6:55pm

Chicago is a reasonable day's drive (8 hrs + random delay for border crossing) from Toronto, though if I was going by myself I'd probably fly. On the other hand, with a few passengers, it would make a lot more sense to drive.

littlem on Jul 17 '07 at 6:58pm

i wish to go to chicago someday

stubby43 on Jul 17 '07 at 7:01pm

I'd love to go, this is my way of making it happen an attempt to get it off the drawing board.

It would be great to have as many international bloggers and american bloggers together and it would be an excuse for other bloggers who wouldnt normally make the effort to go to make the trip.

Hell if I'm traveling 3000 miles to go I'm sure you can make it.
