Ok, I’ve got all the money I need. Now I just have to wait and find out if I can get the time off from work (Being the end of the holidays, it might be tough…chances are iffy). I should know in a few weeks whether I’ve got the green light (Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease…) _BUMP_ ---

Okay guys, in the coming week, I’m going to be putting the Secret Santa list together. I need you to either post here or email me to tell me you’re definitely in. Then I’ll compile a list here, verify that everyone’s on it, and then starting matching everyone up. (bumpkin) ---

Well, now I may not be able to go. The _NEW_ **Supergirlfriend** and I haven’t been together long enough for her to understand drunken debauchary with people I don’t really now without her there. And she’s a nurse, and probably won’t be able to get the time off. ---

Superdude. ☹ Okay, fine, you guys. I’ll wait until I know for sure if everyone’s coming to match everyone up with a Secret Santa. But it’s getting done by Thanksgiving, because Christmas shopping is NOT easy for me. ---

I’m in, **Noc**. And apparently, if he’ll have me, I’ll be **Fiver’s** for the evening, since I have been less-than-ceremoniously dumped by Mr. **Superdude**. Sheesh- not even an email. Had to find out here, in public. ☹ -BK ---

Sorry about that, **bobkitty**. Actually, it wasn’t really anything that I knew was going to happen, so I had no advance warning. I’ve been battling a sinus infection, and she was in town, and stopped by to take care of me, and everything just kinda snowballed from there. ---

Count me in for the Secret Santa deal, **Nocturne**. Can I request _not_ to be paired up with **Simetra**? Because, you know, my present for him is, um, more of a private thing. 😉 ---

Oh, and you think I’ll want **Superdude** ’s sloppy seconds? _Au contraire, mon baguette!_ Not even if you begged me. Not even if you tied me up. Wait, scratch that. I mean, only if you tied me up. Nice and tight. ---

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be anywhere near Alabama during this dopefest, but I **am** going to be in Tuscaloosa on November 23 - the day after Thanksgiving - from about 9:00 til 10:30 pm. Whether anybody cares or not, I don’t know. I just thought I’d let you know. In between buses, you see. Maybe we could grab a bite at the Wendy’s (or is it a Burger King? I can’t remember) across from the Greyhound station. Whatever.
