Awesome! Sign me up! I’m so excited and nervous. I’m a total hermit, don’t get out of the house enough. It’ll be neat to meet more people. Will the newlyweds be there?
Curses, I should’ve replied way earlier. I looked at the net (in Denamrk and here in Germany), but no luck. I’ll ask the next time I’m in Denmark - who knows, I just might think up an excuse to visit LA again 
Can’t wait to meet you all! And it speaks volumes for your impeccable taste that you’ve picked a place where there’s Guinness available.
Be seeing you!
S. Norman
Bumpitty-bump-bump…
It’s gettin’ near crunch-time…
Ok, I was finally able to get Wednesday off, so put me down as a definite yes.
I am SO jealous of all you CA Dopers…I’d like nothing more than to attend. The chance to meet my darling Shayna would be enticement enough, but to meet her honey as well? I’d LOVE to be there!
But…
WA is just a teensy tinsy bit too far away.
So, please…someone hug Shayna for me, please? About a hundred times?
Scotti
Tell me about it. 
Well, get your fine self in MOTION, honey…can’t get a honest-to-goodness Scotti hug from LA, now CAN you?
I’ll let you know by Tuesday.
So, uh, hey Javamaven? Think that transportation for me and Monster can be arranged?
Purdy-pwease? I’ll love you forever!
So, I’m assuming the Great Dane has conquered the Land of Donuts by now?
::waves at Snormy and Shitna::
Hey hey kids! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!
Not to worry, Spiny, I’m watching the fort on this side of the pond. Last I heard, Hamburg was still there. Oh, some schmuck did vomit all over your Ducati’s seat. Sorry 'bout that.
Wish I could be there wednesday night! I’ll make up for it later this year in Hamburg - promised. Now go and be merry, or something
So does that make it a Puke-ati? 
[sub]Disclaimer: I really like Ducatis.[/sub]
Johnny… that was bad. That was REALLY bad. That was so bad I’m gonna have to slug you when I see you next.
Johnny, Spiny’s gonna hate you for that bad pun. Cause if there’s one thing he hates more than people who throw up on his bike, it’s people who make bad puns. About his bike, even.
So, don’t the lovebirds have time to log on and wave to the masses? Your highness! Please appear on the balcony, and wave to the peasants!
(I’m getting “Life of Brian”-like visuals of Snormy opening the window curtains buttnaked, only to stare into the faces of 13,000 dopers. “Good Morning, Mr. Norman!”. Heh.)
But it’s gotta be the real wave. At most a stiff smile and no arm motion, just rotating the hand at the wrist, mind. (Aim for the look of action figures with faulty circuits and low batteries.)
No happy, enthusiastic semaphoring, now; no face-splitting grins, two-fingered whistles. No yelling, no YOO-HOO’S, no stomping, boogeying on the balconey or God forbid a passionate, bent-over-the-arm-hair-sweeping-the-floor kiss.
We (royal “we”) would be sooooo disillusioned.
Adjusting binoculars,
Veb
(Who’s stuck a few thousand miles inland or would otherwise be gathering rose petals, icing down champagne or at least saving for the First Round.)
Walk me through this a little further would ya, veb ?
My guess on the mysterious non-appearance: They’ve got a lot of face-locking to catch up on, it could be a while yet.
You think they’ve hit the Bert Bacarach / Hal David phase yet ?
Don’t think veb’s binoculars are going to help too much right now – everything’s going to be in soft focus. Damn, it’s cute !!
“Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near…”
No prob, LC. I flashed back on old vids of Nancy
Reagan: the brittle wave, the standoffish mien. But there was the glistening, brainless, worshipful Stare. Left out that part because I couldn’t imagine Shayna looking pithed but since you set-up a great pun…
What image could possibly have been more Royal? Oh, unless you have something else in mind…
Veb

Bu-u-u-u-u-u-ump!!!
Gotta keep this on the main page just so everyone’s exposed to it…
Hey Shitna! Come up for air and give us details! Details I say!
Oh, and JPEGS! Lots of JPEGS!
Well, SPOOFE and I have about 2 days to find a ride. If we can’t…well, that would be unfortunate.
Diane, who cares about JPEGS…it’s all about the MPEGS!
I think I can give Monster & Spoofer a ride. I haven’t moved yet (I was supposed to have been moved in by now, according to my in-laws, at which we are at the mercy of…), so I’m still in Lakewood, which is just about an hour’s drive of you, so it really is out of the way for me.
But… if you beg really hard, I’m sure I could do it for you boys.
