I have nothing to say, other than… hello and welcome to California! I’m here! California smells like cedar trees. Nymysys is even more beautiful than she looks in pictures. Some guy died on my flight. Ok so maybe he didn’t die, but someone had a heart attack. Swear to god. I’m going now. See you all Saturday or something! ---

Welcome to california… Hope I get to visit with you while you’re out here. I’d just like to add that Rasa is even more beautiful in person too. ---

I lived in California once. I became quite fond of California during my two and a half years there (the first 2.5 years of my life) except for the earthquakes. You, sir or madam (I don’t know which) are no California. So there. 😛 ---

Well I’d tell ya kids not to do anything I wouldn’t do, but I think Scratchie would find that boring. Glad to hear you made it in one piece and I hope you have fun. See ya both in chat sometimes. Keith ---

Say, what’s that guy doing collapsed on the floor of the plane? I don’t know - WOO! Look at Rasa! 🙂 [sub]Disclaimer : This is a variation on a joke from #straightdope chat, everyone. Don’t get your knickers in a twist.[/sub] ---

Welcome, welcome. Come on in. Make yourself at home. Please remember to turn the heater down 'cause our rates have gone wayyyy up. Have a good time, please don’t drain the wineries completely. Oldscratch will see to your comforts, I’m sure. sili ---

_yawn_ Ok what’s up with this getting up early shit? Though it’s actually late where I’m from. Yeah, scratchie obviously forgot to log in as himself, hence the second and third posts. 😉 Um, the in flight movies were Chicken Run and Wag the Dog. I didn’t watch either, because I was too busy watching the action at the front of the plane. Seems someone had a heart attack or something. I actually heard them say “Is there a doctor on board?” Eep! The flights were all good, nice and empty so I wasn’t squished or anything. Well I should get going and see what this lovely area has to offer. Going to Sonoma today, dinner with Demo and Psy, then I’ll see the rest of you that are going to the Dopefest on Saturday! And Una: you almost made me spit coffee! Heehee… Did I mention California smells like cedar? ---

Sheesh, how many threads do I have to post in to say that I’m glad you got there? Two, I guess. 😃 And I’m not beautiful, YOU’RE beautiful! Are too! Are too! Say, Rasa, tell me, what does California smell like? And again, enjoy the presents you two. Double:D ---

Well at least hearing them say, “Is there a doctor on board!?” is much, much better than hearing them say, “Is there a pilot on board!?”. Welcome to California! Have a great time! Don’t forget to visit our gift shop. By the way, L.A. smells \* nothing\* like cedar. You’re obviously in the nice part of California. ---

Sadly, we won’t be able to make dinner, Rasa. psycat’s dog is on the verge of death and she has to take it to the vet tonight. Sowy! Oh well, if you move out here we can party later ok? 😉 ---
