Unseen Servant Con 2025

[GreyWolfVT]

We don't have any Tim Horton's in Vermont I know of, but used to have a Friendlies in every town. I think there is still one or two left in Vermont but not many. Have eaten many a meal there.

I'm not aware that we ever had a Tim Horton's in Vermont unless they were way up north closer to the Canadian border.

We do have Al’s French Frys I know that for sure. Denny's as well. Five Guys, & yes we have one Friendlies left in Vermont from what i know of.

No Tim Horton's and I live walking distance to the border.

[GreyWolfVT]

Yeah I searched and the two closest one is in Quebec the other in upstate NY. But I have bought their ground coffee locally in grocery stores.

The password is: I want to go to Friendly's. ...I'd say Tim Horton for the Vermont guys, but we have one of those in Long Island now too.

I live much further down the East Coast... we had a Friendly's once, but that particular store earned a bad rep over the years until it finally closed. My relatives in southern Maine had a Tim Hortons open and then close a few years later. I'd almost say a Hortons is worth the trip by itself.

[Rex]

The Tim Horton's I have been to in Quebec remind me of Dunkin Donuts. When I was young Dunkin Donuts had a great soup, coffee/hot chocolate, and doughnut meal deal. Used to get it anytime we stopped there.

[GreyWolfVT]

All I've had is the Tim Horton's coffee & I can say in my opinion it is better than what Dunkin' sells for coffee.

[subaltari]

Dunkin rules New England for sure now!

[GreyWolfVT]

Dunkin rules New England for sure now!

I guess it depends on your taste in coffee. I myself am into Death Wish coffee which is based out of Round Lake, NY at least the manufacturing part of it is. Or Tim Horton's is another that I buy regularly.

Personally I don't care for what most local shops carry as their coffee to grab on the go.

[rredmond]

Give me the crunchy coffee at the bottom of the pot. Always yum.

[Rex]

I very rarely drink coffee, much more of a hot chocolate guy. No real preference for one over the other, more whatever is available at the time as far as DD vs TH.

-< eavesdropping .... surprised to see Tim Horton's in the US, here it 's on almost every corner .... >-

[GreyWolfVT]

I can buy Tim Horton's ground coffee almost anywhere i shop here, but that is about it.

As we move into the new year, is this seeming like a thing or did I fail my Int roll and it was an illusion?

[OGRE MAGE]

I apologize for admittedly dropping the proverbial ball on this idea.

We had a decent start on the planning, but then hit a few snags along the way that thwarted interest.

I was trying to come up with better alternatives, and I am still sorting out a few ideas for doing something much smaller than a normal convention style event.

So if we do try hosting something in the future, it would likely be a private thing.

[OGRE MAGE]

For anyone who was really hoping for something to happen with this convention, I apologize again for letting this fall through the proverbial cracks.

However......

I may have an alternative for you to consider that most assuredly will happen, as plans are already being put into motion.

I understand this isn't exactly what we discussed, but I promise this will be much more awesome than any silly trip to Milwaukee.

If this should interest you at all, and you want to hear more information, I will have further details on this coming along very soon. (think 2 weeks, right after NTX Con)

If you have any questions in the meantime, just ask.

[rredmond]

Ha ha ha, I think I saw this over on FB and figured I'd see it in this thread soon enough!
Sounds AWESOME!

[OGRE MAGE]

Indeed you did.

Should I mark you down as a solid maybe?

[rredmond]

Definite maybe. Have a whole year, right? This (and I think they have some decent cigars down there) are all that will get me to Jamaica I'm thinking. I'm not a beach bunny like yourself!

[OGRE MAGE]

YES!

That's the spirit!

You would be an honored addition to our humble little convention.

[ravenn4544]

oooo... that sounds like quite an idea
