I am serious *.*
EDIT: Now that I am back home to write a longer post, for those of you who were not around in the TI scene for long enough, he's the guy who has the highest amount of downloads on ticalc.org and made Phoenix, Galaxian, Orznuid and Pac-Man 99 for the TI-8x series, and we enjoyed talking with him and touring some parts of Quebec City. Oh and yes he had his TI-85 :)
Edit by p2: Just turned the "Dj Juju" into "DJ, Juju" ^^
You left out the most important attendee ... my TI-85!
Ayyy
Well, that was fun. Hope to see you again, Patrick. And your TI-85.
Oh right lol, but of course it was captured in the pictures I took :P . All it missed was the plushie walrus that never comes and my TI-84 Plus CE, but I thought it would rain so I brought a dollar store raincoat in my pocket instead of a calculators.
Anyway that was fun and I hope you like Quebec City so far :)
Also the weird part is that all of us three weared blue t-shirts, which was quite fitting considering it's the color of Quebec flag :P
Also good thing we left McDonald's early because apparently some guy beat his girlfriend in his car when Juju passed by again later and other people on the street tried to block the car so he won't escape. That was quite wild apparently (fortunately very rare here, though). O.O
Yeah, brought nothing interesting either. Although your blue shirt was darker than ours, DJ.
Yeah, glad nothing terrible happened while I went back home, it just slightly blocked traffic
Yeah true about my shirt lol. Imagine if I had worn my Captain America or Nordiques Nation t-shirt O.O
Pics or it didn't happen. :P
Nice to know you guys had fun at least.
I have two pics that ended up being kinda blurry so I guess if
@Patrick Davidson doesn't mind it being posted in the members picture thread I will put it there. Which reminds me, a staff should give him access to the safe-haven board.
I was also with him again this afternoon, doing some ghost hunting in the lower end of the city, walking on top of the fortifications near D'Youville Square and wandering around taking pictures and stuff.
Oh and yes we often talked about calculators, especially the TI-85, TI-82 ROM 19.006, Calcuzap, some past community events, the fact we're two of the only community members left from his era, etc. :)
That's cool that you guys got to meet up! I was lucky enough to first meet Patrick back in 2006, and then just a few months ago he was here as well.
I'm happy to say that this time around, we were successful in finding some kangaroos :)
There aren't many of us left from pre-2000 days, but real life tends to take over eventually, especially for those with families, etc. It's hard to believe that in 2018 it will be 20 years since I got my TI-83, started messing about with programming on it and found the online community. I guess time flies when you're having fun!
Yeah, most people stick around until they turn 18 years old, which is around when they move to college or get a full time job and move out of their parents home. I'm happy that some of us are the exception to that rule, though. Hopefully one day I have more money to travel around too :)
And yeah he told me he met you but I didn't know you met twice, especially not in 2006.
Which reminds me, when I made this topic I forgot that I also made another related topic before, so I guess maybe it should be merged with https://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=1413.0 :P
Well if you ever happen to find yourself near Melbourne, Australia, be sure to let me know! :P
of course! Hopefully I could meet tr1p1ea as well if that ever happens. Or maybe if you get back into some music band that decides to tour all of North America rather than just USA then I could see you play live as well. I wish I had the chance to see Belle Haven live D:
Certainly, I hope to return to the USA one day, and Canada as well. I did visit Canada briefly back in 2005, but only Montreal and only for 4-5 days. On a slightly related note, one of my skydiving buddies is from Toronto!
Whilst I wouldn't be there, you might still get the chance to see Belle Haven - the band is still going, just with another drummer now :) There are no plans made in the immediate future, but they are intending to return to North America again when they can afford it.
Yeah I think I recall you visiting MTL during a discussion with you on IRC in #tcpa back then. I remember you said you found April mornings to be very cold. I would say that pretty much all day long is cold too XD (although sometimes we do get decent weather that month). I didn't remember if it was during a band tour or something, though. Also yeah I never skydived before. That must be an interesting experience for sure. O.O
And I see about Belle Haven. Do they usually announce concerts on sites like Bandsintown or Songkick?
That sounds right, it was April / May 2005 that I was travelling. Montreal reminded me a lot of Melbourne, just with a lot of French influence! It's a really nice city.
Most of the Belle Haven stuff is announced on Facebook these days.
You no longer play with Belle Haven? Sad. I did saw they had some trouble with touring, staff and stuff, though. Hope they figured that out. I was suggesting they should go play in Québec City if they can, pretty sure they'll love it playing there.
Or you too. You'll love it too, with the old town.

Yeah I decided to finish up with the band, I played my last show with them back in March. I do miss it already, but I left because I wanted to enjoy some spare time again. I love the band and always will, but it requires a lot of time & financial commitment. I was very lucky to be a part of it for nearly 5 years, playing a lot of shows in a lot of different places! And the best part is that two of the others in the band are my brothers, so that in itself was an awesome experience!
We had a lot of trouble with our manager in the first half of the US tour last year, but we eventually asked him to leave and we parted ways. Also I had a small amount of gear stolen in Chicago, and our RV got tagged! But hey, I guess that's all part of the experience :P
I'd love to get back to Canada to properly experience it one day, and I'm sure the Belle Haven guys would too!
Eh, glad you left on good terms, at least.
YEah I'm glad to hear at least. Sorry about the stolen gears, though. I guess that's not surprising in Chicago, but that can probably happen everywhere, so hopefully not again. Hopefully we meet in person someday. :)
Our staff member (http://img.codewalr.us/streetwalrii3.gif) is with PatrickD right now.
the creator of Phoenix O.O All my classmates played that all day long... O.O
btw Patrick Davidson hasn't introduced himself in the "New Member Introduction" thread yet... ;D
In our case it was Galaxian. And yeah he didn't introduce himself, although he doesn't need to, I think. :P
do I have to be ashamed as I didnt know who he was before this post...? (https://codewalr.us/walrusirc/smileys/meh.gif)
Btw.. in Phoenix you could shoot faster by pressing 2ND very often... since that game my 2nd key feels different than the other keys <_<
That's ok but as long as you check ticalc.org's most downloaded authors list :P
