I have a phobia about handshakes and my neck hurts and I have a spasm that sometimes causes my hips to go out of control so if I grab any of you and start groping your breasts and gentials and dry humping all over you upon our meeting, you’ll know why.
I’m an excellent dry-humper.
(Y’know, this probably isn’t this best way to endear myself to people I am about to meet for the first time :o )
Well, it certainly is unique! 
Q
Lest anyone took that wrong, it was an attempt at humor.
I will not fondle anyone.
Except maybe myself. OK! OK! I’ll shuttup now.
Hey
I know some of y’all will be bringing your digies, but I was wondering at least one of you would bring a cam-corder? Especially if our little “Georgia Jam” works out!
Thanks
Q
Yea, are we still doing the jam? Or has it been pushed back to “When we can work it out?”
If you’re asking me, GNR, we still don’t have a place for the jam and what I said in the post up there was wishful thinking on my part.
Q
Diane to Quasi: “Honey, what’s that man talkin’ about?”
Quasi to Diane: “Well, Babe, unlike my hump, which is smooth and sleek, his is dry, because he don’t manufacture enough emmolients through his skin. He’s actually handicapped, but is making the best of a bad situation!”
Godammit mouthbreather!, don’t you make a liar outta me that night! Hell, I don’t even know if the human body produces emmolients!
Right now, she’s still gonna be there, but only ‘cause she’s led a sheltered life and feels sorry for yo’ dry humpin’ ass!
Just kiddin’ dood!
We’re looking forward to seeing you the night of the 23rd!
The rest of y’all too!
Q
17 days and counting. So is anybody bringing their cam-corder?
Message to mouthbreather: Which hotel is actually the closest to D&B without having to cross the interestate?
Thanks
Q
We don’t have a camcorder, but I’d be happy to bring my regular ol’ manual camera and email y’all digital pics or somethin’.

Dear Lord, I just said y’all. Get the Southern away from me!) I’m kidding
Morelin, that sounds great, thanks! I’m sure there’ll be some interesting shots of us all, y’all!

This appears to be at most a mile away from D&B’s.
Now, you tell Diane that normally my emollient production is lacking, but with proper alcohol consumption I can manage to keep it stable. Tragic, I know…but each man has a cross to bear.
Now, my plan will be to stuff a couch cushion in the back of my shirt. It will serve two purposes…one, I will not be making a liar of you, and two, when I pass out in the middle of the floor in D&Bs, I can just pull it out and get comfortable.
Wonder how long you’ll get to be comfortable, if you decide to do that?
And we’ll be sure to provide you with enough emmolient producing liquid as well!
So 7pm is okay with everyone, then? If you have any last minute questions, write me an e-mail, and if I can’t answer, maybe mouthbreather will take up the slack.
If anything changes with the jam-portion of the fest, I’ll let y’all know, but right now it doesn’t look too promising, unless we use my hotelroom at the end of the night, and I don’t know how management is going to feel about that!

Sure, LlamaPoet, on a weekend. But just try it on, say, a Friday at 5:30. Whereas I can get from Ponce de Leon to Cumberland Road at rush hour in 20 minutes. I’m not blowing smoke - or not just blowing smoke - I had to make that commute for a week last year, and I timed it.
Also, Carcosa, there is an entertainingly weird used bookstore at Virgnia Ave. and North Highland Ave. Small, crowded, the building once was a house and if you poke around in the back, you will find a bathroom with a tub that is obviously still in use. A little bit claustrophobia-inducing, but well worth an occasional wander-through. I believe the name is “Atlanta Book Exchange,” but the sign out front just says “Books”. There’s also a Book Nook at Buford Highway and, I think, Clairmont Road. On Buford Highway, at any rate.
See you all in Duluth!
Whoops! Make thatVirginia Avenue.:smack:
That place gives me nightmares. Not only are the shelves too close together, but there’s about 83 4-foot-stacks of books inbetween every aisle. One wrong move, a sneeze, anything…I feel like the whole place is going to come down like a house of cards. They do have good selection, though.
Hmmmm… a weird bookstore that’ll give you nightmares. Sounds like my kinda place. Thanks.
I’ll agree on the good selection at the bookstore, but it gives me claustrophobia too! And it share the problem lots of used bookstores have – too many books and not enough organization.
Hmm, just found this thread. So D&B in Duluth on the 23rd? Is that near the Gwinnett mall?
Carcosa , the aforementioned bookstore on Sandy Plains is Bookmiser, not bookmeister in case you ever look it up. I live right near there. It’s ok but fairly small. Probably not worth a trip out of your way unless you just love browsing used bookstores. 
Book Nook on Clairemont and Buford Hwy has a much better selection.
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but the Book Nook has moved from its location at Clairmont and Buford Highway, and is now located at the intersection of Clairmont and North Druid Hills Road. However, I have not been to the new location to check it out yet.
breaknrun, I posted a map on page 3; D&B is off of Steve Reynolds, which, I think, is one or two exits before the one for Gwinnett Mall.
I didn’t want to admit it, for fear of sounding like a Philistine, but I actually prefer chain bookstores to independents for that very reason - I have yet to find a good used bookstore in Atlanta that is well organized and, frankly, comfortable. I mean the sort of place that has chairs and sofas scattered around so that you can sit and read. The bookstore in Virginia-Highland does make you feel that one good sneeze’d bring the whole structure down.
Actually, I can think of one comfortable indy bookstore: OutWrite, on 10th St. But if you’re not gay, then you won’t find much to interest you.
