I would probably be in but I don't live in Topeka anymore. :frown:
I love seeing all these katpak'rs chapters organizing their own local events.
Is this an all game pak? Or just a lunch hour pak?
Putting me at a "maybe" seems quite presumptuous.
Uh...sure. :shifty eyes:Putting me at a "maybe" seems quite presumptuous.
I put you at maybe so you would respond, it worked didn't it? Can I move you to confirmed?
I just saw that Ottawa has a Pak President for their chapter. I was wondering if there was an incumbent in TopCityChopCity, if it was a dictatorship or democracy, etc.
I love seeing all these katpak'rs chapters organizing their own local events.
this was an original mission of the KATPAK association, the eventual goal being to replace the antiquated Catbacker events. i have no desire to ever see Gary Raffety's crazy haircut ever again.
i'll be in mhk thursday for work. :blank:See you at willie's :cheers:

I second this motion. Also, what time should we arrive to ensure that we've got a place to sit? I've never been there and not sure of how many people will be there at that time of day.
Made a reservation for 8 at 11:30 under "goEMAW" whoever gets there first can get the table for us
:excited:
Wear purple so we don't look like douches asking people if they're part of the pak

Slimz has experience. New guys, if he leaves his mic stand behind, make sure to hold onto it until he can pick it up.

:lol: No, I'll be in a long sleeve purple "vintage" henley with a big K on the front. No I did not buy it at Big K.
Welp, I won't be able to make it to my first ever Pak. :cry: A couple of loser slackers in my dept. called in/didn't show so my boss asked me to only take 30 minutes for lunch. Very conflicted here. Should I quit my job and show up anyway? Any advice would be appreciated.
I even stopped in to the world headquarters of Alma Creamery this morning and picked up a couple packages of curds for all of us Pak'rs to enjoy.
bring the curds to tomorrow night's Topaka
How was the Topaka?big surprise here - I did not show up

Found myself, racquetcat, Sundance_Kid, Ging, and Slimz at Celtic Fox enjoying the mediocre lunch buffet and ever more mediocre basketball game. Would suggest venue with less elderly and less senatorial types for future Topakas.
probably a good choice by saul to not attend that sausage fest

Yes, we needed drinking, cheese curds, and Saul. Also I agree Celtic fox was a bad location, live and learn pak'rs, live and learn.pro tip > if you want me to show up, don't schedule it at Celtic Fox. Or during work hours. also, bring settlers of catan (at least)
probably a good choice by saul to not attend that sausage fest
I have it on good authority that Saul LOVES a good sausage fest, especially at Old Chicago or the chinese buffet at 17th and Fairlawn.
But yes, thanks to raquetcat for making all the arrangements for the inaugural Topaka. For future Topakas I suggest Blue Moose, or Skinny's. SKinny's is pro-KU during KU games, but is a solid viewing location, and they loudly play game audio which is a bonus.
you guys rough ridin' went to a place that didn't serve alcohol. My god. :facepalm:

Blue Moose doesn't seem like the kind of place that would be cool with torrents of raging EMAW. Skinny's is a good choice IMO. Goose Again could also be a contender. I would feel comfortable walking into either of those places with an armload of Alma Cheese Curds.
I decided to take the day off and went to bww with a few people. Very emaw crowd if you dont mind the corporate thing.
Skinnys is just down the street tho, and a good place. :peek:

Skinny's slogan should be: Fun during the day. Awful white trash hickville during the night.
Can moap be explained? I've never known what that meant.

Mother of All Paks. Takes place before the first home football game. Day long event with lots and lots of elite goEMAW'rs. People come from all over the country to attend.
Well Topakars do we dare try another lunch time workday pak?
No definitely not Celtic foxWell Topakars do we dare try another lunch time workday pak?

Not gonna lie, I stopped reading this thread after I first realized there was no drinking at this "pak." Not sure if I can think of any reason, ever, to hang out with a bunch of strangers to watch a game if I'm not drinking. Topeka? No thanks.
I might be relocating. Heard the terms today, I'll decide between now and Sunday. Regardless, I'll continue to pak in Des Moines. Not really sure what this has to do with the Great DryPak of 2012 though...
Well, if things progess as planned, I would certainly pak with SD/RD/the other socks in Des Moines. I even have a Pak location in mind.
I know a guy who knows a guy who loves to urbandalePAK
Urbandale is a real shithole. Ankeny is where it's at. Plus, they produce a crap load of kickers.
Mods, please cut out the last dozen or so shitty posts and create a new IowaShitholePak thread. This is about Topaka. Speaking of which, It looks like I'm stuck at work again. I would be up for some Topak'ing for our Saturday game though.

This game is too big to watch with non-emaws. If you guys aren't up for a 'pak I will go back to Manhattan. :dance:
I'll be in Eureka Springs paking with the wife.....do everything I wouldn't do!

Yup have bids in to be a MHKer, Wichita'r a KCer, and a Topeka'r. (And a weird and slight possibility of New York City) If one of the Topeka jobs wins out then I will take over as the head Topeka Pak'r Organizer.
