It’s because you rock, MrC. Silver Fire, who still can’t adapt to this whole “Manservant” thing. ---

Well. I do rock. There’s no questioning that, for certain. However, it looks like about a 75% probability that I will NOT be rocking in L.A. (Much to the relief of all, I’m sure) We’ll see. ---

Cyni, if you don’t come, I swear to God I’m gonna come to Denver and kick your ass. And when I’m done kicking your ass, I’ll drag you by your ear all the way to Los Angeles. People will look at us funny, but I don’t care. You’re going. Rose ---

Okay, THIS will teach me to actually go out at night. What in the HELL did I miss? Cyni, I don’t know WHAT is going on, but you’re going. Period. Somebody has to be my snooty counterpart. 😃 Besides, you don’t want us to all have sex in the hot tub without you, do you? That would just be sick and wrong. ---

Okay, I just bought my tickets (SUCH a good deal!). I’ll be arriving at LAX at about 7 pm on Friday…who is arranging pickups? Who should I talk to? Will I spend the weekend at the airport? (Please say no.) ---

I don’t suppose anyone’s driving down from Canada? Around Vancouver? How long would it take anyway? If I could come up with a ride and floorspace (and some cash!) I just might seriously consider it! I’ve never been farther down than Seattle and Spokane. I know I’ve barely met ya all, but I sure would love to come! I have my own air matteress and sleeping bag and I promise to leave the critters at home, although since California is full of assorted livestock I won’t promise not to smuggle something back! ---

> [@](#): > > I don’t suppose anyone’s driving down from Canada? Around Vancouver? How long would it take anyway? I drove from Bellingham, WA to L.A., CA last month. It took 19 hours. Add another hour to get from Vancouver to Bellingham (if you don’t have to wait too long at the border). Best bet would be to RON in Redding or Anderson, so it’s a two-day trip. Or you could fly, which would take about three or four hours plus a couple of hours at the airport. ---

I’ll have to start a different thread to let them know. Or you can. What shall we title it? ---

I just chekced [orbitz.com](http://www.orbitz.com) these prices are AMAZING. Vancouver to LA round trip is going for $153! (American) If you don’t mind spending some cash for a ticket, you’re more than welcomed. Since we basically own the hotel for the weekend, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to bunk with one of us. ---

I just wanted to check in and mention that, yes, I’m still following this thread. And, yes, it looks like I’ll be able to make it on the 20th (no rehearsal on Saturday! Woohoo!). All me and Monster have to do now is coerce our dear sweet mums into giving us the car for a night… bwahahahaha! ---
