I'd rather go to Megacon and meet Stan Lee. Also I wouldn't have to go to D.C., just to meet Duke Nukem.

Butch may be referring to streams and online music samples from the event..

...however, I have had a massive urge to go out of state. I'm not sure what for, but not being in Florida has sounded nice for some time.

[Ragaar31]

I like just going to Orlando for a weekend. It's pretty fun just to get out of town.

[Master Miek]

Out of town is nice, but out of state every once in awhile is wonderful when you get a chance to...lucky guy, you are getting that chance next week, aren't you?

[Ragaar31]

Indeed I am. I'm going to Georgia. It's gonna be nice and cold there.
