It’s official, tickets are booked - Al-friggin’-Italia, 12 hours and 25 minutes across the Atlantic. The things I do…
High-level negotiations are still in session, trying to decide who’ll be carrying Poofy through emigrations.
We’ll probably both be detained, anyway: A Dane and a Dutchman, flying in from Milan, both disgustingly drunk (what else can you do on transatlantic flights ?) and carrying an inflatable pig without proper vaccination documents. We’re dead.
And I get to visit my beloved Shayna again! I miss you so goddamn much, Sweetie.
I want to come SO BAD!! The airfares are really low right now, too. Unfortunately, it’s not a good time to buy another airline ticket. I will keep a close eye on this thread, and hopefully in a month or two I will be able to commit.
Screw it - I’m going to go get a part-time job so I can pay for all these dopefests! It will be worth it.
I’m definitely thinking about coming to this one. I don’t plan things very far in advance and I never know if I actually have any money, so I’ll have to wait until the time gets a little closer.
Padeye, Mauvaise, and I are coming out after work Friday, 10/19 and leaving Sunday afternoon. Padeye will just be getting back from a week-long vacation. He wasn’t going to go initially, but Mauvaise fluttered her eyelashes at him pleadingly and convinced him otherwise.
If any other Phoenicians are interested in going, let me know. I’ve only taken care of the ones I’ve met in person so far.
And I love you for each and every one of them, sweetheart.
Sue, we don’t have anything planned yet. Anyone want to make any suggestions? Is there anything you guys really, really want to do while in L.A.? Perhaps we can all chip in together and rent a big van for activities that take us outside the South Bay area.
JimB, please, please, please do come. I would so love to meet you!
You, too, boli - I sure hope you can scrape enough pennies together to make it! It would be so fun to see you again!
And Twisty, I was just going to email you and plead with you to come over since it looks like your DubDope has been moved to the Winter. Can’t I pleeeeeeeease convince you? Pretty please with sugar on top?
And my Scotti’s coming back - YAY!! And Strainger and Mauvaise, too - Woo Hoo!!
A gorgeous lady pleading for me to come, now that’s hard to resist.
Shayna, I do want to meet you, too and Scotti and the rest of y’all. But, my life’s in a bit of a mess at the moment and I don’t think I can commit quite this early.
Triple S Crew in effect, plus my sis, boli, Jeff and Mauvaise and and and and and!!!
Oh yeah, and the EuroTrash ain’t too shabby either.
Dude! I’d give this one an even 60%, but I’ll really try to bump the probability rating up after looking at flights/hotels for that time and seeing if I can get covered for that friday and maybe monday too. (I hate rushing around).
I’m in Anaheim, about 1 hour east of Torrance. I gather that Oct. 19 or 20 is being planned, but where and when exactly? I don’t need plane tickets, hotels, etc., just a time and place. I’ll try to make it.
Wait, you mean we’re not all staying at Shayna’s place?
Ooh! Let’s stay here. That way, we can credit all the rooms to my Club Ramada card, and I’ll be closer to being able to exchange my Club Ramada points for valuable frequent flyer miles and/or prizes.
Hope you’ll be bringing that kilo of Columbian Nose Candy when you land in LAX from Bogata. Or perhaps not, I believe the customs in LA are a little harsher that your average politieagent.
Me oh my, this looks like a great crowd that’s gonna turn up! Diane, cool to see you coming along too!
Demo, try to make it, dude! That would rock. All y’alls that I’m forgetting right now: it would be fantastic to meet you too!
Let President Twisty clarify the situation here…
As much as I think Coldy rocks, I would in no way participate in an “anal visitation”
So, no kids, no boyfriend, and I’m not coming?? You shamless harridan you…
Ok, well ticket prices look good. About $235 or so for both psy and I. I should hear back about my friday coverage within the next few days. If that’s a go, we are so there!
I HAVE to see my peeps!
Plus, this will give psy a good chance to catch up on all her Goya shopping.
Demo, Strainger, and whoever else is flying in on 10/19: when do your flights arrive? I can come in at any time, and I’d just as soon be able to meet up with folks at the airport.
