Because if I say “Yes, I’ll be there” and I don’t show up, people are always like, “Wait, but you said you’d be there!” 😛 Fine. I’ll be there IF I can tag along with you, **imthjckaz**. A while back I described where I might be moving to in St. Cloud (Oak Haven). You said you live real close to that Casey’s on the corner. Will you, or will you not, pick me up? Go ahead and email me, it’s in my profile. ---

Canty, can you swing by CastleRubenstien to pick me up on the way? ---

Much as I would like to consume vast quantities of pork with a buncha dopers, I’m afraid I’m going to have to bow out of this one. ---

So, will people be camping at the campground on Saturday night? Is that allowed? ---

PUNKYOVA has graciously agreed to bring Cecil The Bear to Porkapalooza – he will be coming down after visiting CANADIANSUE in Edmonton. Disposable camera included – take lots of pix. And be gentle to the lil’ guy – don’t get him drunk or anything. 🙂 ---

If the campground is the vast acreage at chique’s farm, then probably yes. If the campground is the suburban park where we’re eating, then probably no. ---

In other words, she is coming with **Spider Woman** and I. That sounds kinkier than it actually is. ---

I’m thinking an afternoon trip to SexWorld is on my list of unofficial activites. Three stories of porn-y goodness, plus peep shows, toys of all sorts, trashy lingerie…and did I mention porn? VHS porn, DVD porn, magazine porn, porn-type porn… 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, SexWorld has always been there for me. Anyone want to check it out? It’s in the downtown Minneapolis region, so there’s restaurants and normal stores and other stuff to do before/after. Oh, yeah, and I might attend PorkDope, is what I’m sayin’. ---

OKay. It’s official. I will be consuming porkedy goodness. Huzzah! Also, I have a layover in Denver and I’m terrified of getting lost at the airport. That is all. ---

Feck. Also… My flight back leaves at 7:45am on Sunday. Anyone feel like taking a little pre-morning drive to the airport with me? 😉 ---

I needed an inflatable Uma Thurman doll. “Hi, do you have an inflatable Uma Thurman doll?” “Uma who?” “You know, Uma Thurman. Hubba hubba!” “You mean the actress?” “Yup. Got one?” “Uh … check up there,” waving a dismissive hand. Every goddamn kind of inflatable doll you want, but not ONE modeled after a celebrity. And not one that could even PASS for Uma Thurman. So I got the “Luv Ewe” instead, with Real Sheep Action![sup]TM[/sup]. SexWorld, you go to hell. ---

Ah crap. Maybe I shouldn’t be in charge of the “Hi, my name is…” tags. I won’t be able to join the festivities until 4:00 PM or so. ---
