[QUOTE=lobstermobster] speak for yourself. the only way I’m going to deal with meeting you fictional interweb people in the real world is by getting carnival freak wasted [/QUOTE] Word, homes. I’ll be there with my drinking shoes on. Missed the last dopefest because I was prepping for a wedding, but now the honeymoon’s over. The husband may not come along, he’s not a doper and was kind of bored at the last one we went to, though he didn’t admit it. Maybe someone can give me a ride afterward to BART? Or perhaps to El Cerrito? ---

I can drive peeps to BART, dunno about El Cerrito though. Might need the blood of the firstborn for that. ---

I’ve noticed over the years that dorks who use the term “bridges and tunnels” are almost 100 percent newbs. And most of them are not from a coast city, but usually from one cowtown or another. ---

Now who in their right mind would turn down a free beer? Besides, I’m not mad at you for saying bridge and tunnel, but here’s a tip - If you’re going to use city lingo and buzz words like a big city girl, make sure you use them correctly. 😉 And we’ll be easy to find. Most likely the biggest group in the place, since like I said, it’s usually empty. And there’s not really a host or anything at Jack’s anyway. Don’t be dead. Being carnival freak drunk is much more fun. ---
