If anyone needs anything, PM me.

Oh, and a note about sugar.

I can't get anything here but C&H cubes (and it's prolly too late to go online and get anything else).
I'm used to them and I'm fine with the fact that they don't totally dissolve, but if anyone else cares, he or she might want to bring a little sugar of another variety.

Fuck, I really need to go.

There's still time!

Airfare is $500 now!

Wow...it was $184 last week.

I say buy it anyway.
Are you drunk?
Cuz I'm only good at convincing drunk people to show up.
At least half the guests were wrangled that way.

No. Zero drinks this evening.

I found $237 on Travelocity.

It's about time to leave work and go home.

Pour yourself a nice treat.
Or ten.

Anyone have problems with Domino's
cubes? I don't know no different.

Domino are far superior to C&H. Maybe it's a good thing I can't make it...

I can bring these. They dissolve nicely.

Expect a phone call from a crippled monkey.

DG

Sorry, DG, but that is one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time. I can only imagine a small monkey, with his wee little crutches, bandage around his head and his poor hurt tail, hunkered down in the corner, screeching into a cell phone.

Of course, after the paddling he's likely to get, you can replace the word "monkey" above with "Trainer," and that story might not be far from the truth....

I hate my life.

Now I can't go.

I guess it is plane ticket stew for dinner.

you could make a papier mache absinthe fountain as well.

Grate, now I'm down to being the only chick.
Sort of.

What happened?

she just found out that SPAZ-ASS was planning on being there.

I'll be there with my pants down.

All the better for .
It's good of you to show up prepared.

Hit me!

Paging Glassy...

Put me as a 'maybe' on the list. I'll have to see how much the fares are from the East Bay area.

Now there's an excuse for the paddle if ever there was one...

Hey Winnie, ya noroM™ - your signature is broken. Where's Slake_hunter???

He's on vacation.

"Real life" stuff cropping up. Luckily, I'm not the one getting divorced (not married in the first place).

Unfortunately it is one of those things I have to be here for as part of the support group, and "well, I already have plane tickets booked to an absinthe party," would probably get me disowned.

I like CG's idea of a paper mache absinthe fountain. Maybe I'll do that instead of the stew.

fuck, too bad jacky or the mayor aren't gonna be there.

you could say you already had divorce-support plans.

Sorry to hear, Festus. We'll miss you!

Lucky for me, my friends know better than to come between me and a LoucheFest.

R.L's kickin' my butt too. Wish I could go but I'll be there in spirit.

I'm getting ready to leave.

Silly String - check
Booze - check
Clown gift for Abby - check

Hope I don't lose everything in Vegas.

You could lose the clown gift.

Oh, and have a safe trip.
See you in a few days.

Pick up RickyWinston, he lives somewhere on the way.

be safe, Cros! see you soon. woot!

I spoke to der Cros earlier.
He was pulling into Barstow.

Heading for Vegas.

I hear that there is going to be a new Felix HG. I hear that it's the grate-est thing since sliced bread and is guaranteed to blow any commercial away. It's called Verdesinthe. This development may even get me to fly down to this fiesta.

Yes, I'm very excited about that one.
I've been tempted to crack it open before everyone arrives, just to sneak a sip.
But I'll be good and wait for everyone else.

You forgot me!

There better be some of this motherfucking Verdesinthe at LF05!!!!

actually, i thought about you.

and i know you were taking it pretty hard.


so for once i was trying to be nice.

you douchebag.

You big mean bear.

i was talking to skeeter.

You big bear.

I have about 45 minutes until Skeet arrives.
I was supposed to pick up Vibe at the same time,
but someone stayed out all night and missed his flight.

grate.


norom.

is he catching a later one?

What a dumbass.

Say "hey" to Skeets for me.
