Final Supper For Johnny L.A.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
61

Thank you, cadolphin, for setting up the party!

Thank you, *Rico, for helping out and for the chat about Bellingham.

Thank you, scout1222, for driving all the way up from San Diego just to see me! :wink:

Thank you, Rick for sabotaging the airplane so you could attend.

Thank you, Shayna and Spiny Norman, for being there. (I like the hair, Shayna! :slight_smile: )

Thank you, Melin, for allowing me to keep my promise.

I’ve got a house. I’m finally moving to Washington where it’s cool and green and wet and I can kayak around actual islands and eat fresh wild salmon and dungeness crabs and work on films with my best fiend and visit Canadarrrrr. If only I had a job, I’d be golden! (I’ll find something, of course.)

A new adventure begins!

“Friend forever, fare thee well.”

Johnny:

It was a wonderful time. Glad you enjoyed it - and it was great to see you again.

I’ll have pictures of the event up sometime today and will post the URL when it happens.

I’m sure my eyes were closed when the flash went off during my “speech”. :smiley:

64

At last, the long awaited pictures… here

It was tons of fun. Thanks everyone for coming.

Kathy

Since they got a photo of it, here’s my “speech” (which I didn’t make up, but which was written by George Moses Horton):

*Alas! and if we sure must part,
Far separated long to dwell,
I leave thee with a broken heart,
So friend forever fare thee well.

I leave thee, but forget thee never,
Words cannot my feeling tell,
Fare thee well, and if forever,
Still forever fare thee well.*

66

Yep, your eyes were closed.

I, on the other hand, have to learn how to smile WITHOUT seeming to flare my nostrils.

Thanks to Kathy and Rico for making this happen.

67

That would be 'cause no one told me. :frowning:

Sorry I missed it, Johnny. Good luck on the move and new job!

Esprix: Well, this just gives us an excuse to have a PNW Dopefest. There’s a seafood thing in the summer called Shuckin’ on the Spit (the Semi-ah-moo Spit is where it takes place).

Anyone up for Dopin’ on the Spit next June? :smiley:
