Cassidym, we'll post pics of our drinks in return

See you all tomorrow in the chat area

I was hoping to have an iPhone for this so I could do live updates

But alas, not yet.

It is great to have both of you joining us this Saturday. There will be plenty of non-meat dishes available in addition to the cash bar.

We are meeting in a restaurant so if we run out of food we can always order more.

I am pretty sure I'll be able to come down from New Jersey to join the crowd.

"Hugo?"

"Yeah, Lefty?"

"Where are we going?"

"Well, straight to Hell if you believe the mother of the SHUM next door, but I believe that there is a Great Sock Drawer up high in the sky where we go when we finally unravel. It has feet with no calluses and no sandals at all. And lots and lots of 'friendly' scarves..." Hugo had a smug look on his face.

"No, I mean where are we going right now?"

"Oh. Well, we're headed to North Virgina."

"Is that a state?"

"Well, it's a part of a state, Virginia."

"Where is it?"

"Next to West Virginia."

"Is that part of Virginia, too?"

"No, it's a state."

"Huh."

"Yeah."

"So why are we in a FedEx box?"

"It was cheaper than UPS."

"Oh. We used to fly commercial."

"Yeah, but the airlines banned us after the Overhead Compartment Incident."

"That was fun, though. I sure hope that Nate remembers to stay home to accept delivery. I hate it when we get left on the front porch."

Hey guys-
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tonight. I adopted a beautiful kitten on Thursday, with the plans my mom would watch him while I went to Virginia. This morning he woke me up vomiting and acting strangely. I took him to the vet and he had Feline Distemper, which is 99.9% fatal. I had to put him to sleep. I'm pretty distraught over it. He was a very sweet and loving cat and I'm very happy to have loved him even for a short time. But I'm a total wreck right now and I think I should stay home. Please have lots and lots of fun, and eat all the food I wouldn't be eating (which is a lot!).

*EDIT*I've changed my mind. I really don't want to sit on my butt all day, so I will be coming down. I feel more positive already with something to do. See you guys soon!

Best decision you've made. You will be fine, and I see another kitten in your future.

Perfect words of wisdom!

See you this evening, lilac.

Claire94 · 06-27-2009, 01:57 PM

Sorry, but at the last min I find I cannot join in tonight. Details posted to Lilac and MCassidy. Cheers to all, and raise a Guinness for me!

At a Carribean restaurant?

Well, we'll find something to raise for ya!

In case anyone reading here hasn't checked the other threads, I'll be bringing something for David R's drawing. You've heard of a "digitized" book? Well, this is a "physicalized" e-book! See you all there!

Well, maybe a Red Stripe?

Sorry, I'm sort of a one-beer girl, and I'd considered it presumptuous to ask e-friends for a single malt scotch... Have lots of fun.

I'm not sure yet. Today was one of the hardest things I've done and I'm not sure I could do it again. Time will tell.

Well I'm at mango mikes now, got here sooner than I thought. Look for me at the bar!
