Inspired by a previous post: http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=798832 I've decided to organize a road trip to the Curious Labs office and camp out outside until they hand me a CD... it doesn't even need to be labeled... or in a box. So, here is my plan. I live in Kansas City, Missouri, so I figure I live halfway there already. I got some driving directions: http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&ct=NA&1a=&1p=&1c=Kansas+City&1s=MO&1z=&1y=US&2a=655+Capitola+Road&2p=&2c=Santa+Cruz&2s=CA&2z=95062&2y=US&lr=2&x=33&y=4 From: Kansas City, MO To: Curious Labs: 655 Capitola Road, Santa Cruz, CA Total Estimated Time: 31 hours, 50 minutes Total Distance: 1868.20 miles It's pretty much a straight shot down I-80. I have a sleeping bag, pillow, dehydrated food. I also grabbed the only things I would need: a thermos, a paddle ball game, a remote control, a chair, an ashtray... (anybody catch that reference?) :-) I also plan to get the most annoying sound maker I can find: an accordian. As a bonus, I have NO IDEA how to play it. Imagine the psychological influence I could apply to their team...! I'm also bringing a bunch of MP3s from the 'David Hasselhoff Sings the Hits' collection. I also have some N*SYNC. That'll get 'em. If all else fails, I plan on stripping naked and showing off the "I want Poser 5" tattoo I just got plastered across my chest. I'll scale the side of their building and press my body spread out onto the glass, leaving a grease mark they'll NEVER be able to get off (I figure I'll have not had a shower in a while by the time I'm forced to do this) I'll dance (naked) and sing "I want Poser 5!" (naked), prancing across their lawn (naked) in an effort to impress them (oh, and I'm SURE I WILL) (naked) I s'pose they'll try to arrest me... I have already contacted the police and let them know I'll be doing this, and to what lengths I'm prepared to go... I think their phones were being monitored, 'cause the cop said "Don't do that, we'll have to ARREST you"... but the way he said it, I knew I was gonna be OK. Thanks brother! So... who's with me? All you need is a sleeping bag and the tattoo. The more people we have, the greater the chance we can convince people it's 'Performance Art'. Plus, my Mom has made me PLENTY of sandwiches... but she doesn't know I'm taking her car. Viva la Poser 5!!!! -RP (The previous post was a sarcastic, sardonic satire in which I was making fun of my own intense desire to get my hands on this nifty upgrade. I got to see the thing in action at Siggraph, which made me want to steal the guy's PC. I have no intention of actually proceeding with the aforementioned 'Plan') (YET) :-)
