Just a quick post from my mother in law’s place in Mesa.
We’ve arrived safely, and will be there tonight around 6 PM.
I met a few of you in LA a couple of years ago, so I’m guessing recognition won’t be a problem. As for you guys: just look for the incredibly pale slightly overweight Eurotrash bastard with that inexplicably beautiful exotic girl by his side.
Despite logging on a few days ago to renew my subscription, I’ve been taking a bit of an extended break from the boards, so I had totally forgotten what day it was.
I realized this morning that the 30th was the day of the great Phoenix Dopefest, but I will unfortunately not be able to attend due to Arlo Guthrie being in Scottsdale tonight.
I hope to be able to get together with you guys again soon, and if you plan another lunch or anything while Coldfire and Heloise are still in town please let me know. GIGOBuster might still have my email address, but if you don’t, post here to let me know and I will email you so we can keep in touch.

Cisco, I will check with **Coldfire ** later on his schedule, and will see if they will be in a place we can meet later.
I did send you a note to verify that I indeed have your e-mail.
See you guys at The restaurant at the end of the universe… I mean road…
I don’t think now I can make it either. I’m sorry.
I just…didn’t prepare for it.
I mean, I can’t go into details without embarrassing myself but I have nothing to wear that looks good and am in need of a haircut and some other things. I wouldn’t want to be seen by people I respect looking how I do.
Well Idle Thoughts, sorry that you can not make it, I will see if I can save a table for 12 anyhow, if you change your mind. Los Dos Molinos is not a very fancy restaurant, there is no need to use the good looking stuff. (I don’t deserve that much respect ) For example: I will be wearing my Jack Skellington t-shirt, so see if you can drop by.
Well, I’m wearing a bright pink blouse, and I mean bright pink! I also need a haircut, but am procrastinating since I’d also like it to grow out. (I hate my hair shorter than shoulder length, and I chopped it in nearly a guy style. It’s grown out quite a bit, but it’s still way too short!) I have to get my nails painted before I go and my makeup done too.
Or I can screw all that, which is quite possible. So, screw all that yourself, IT, and have some fun.
For example…I’m a guy…yet I like long nails. So yeah…I have them. No reason other than I like long nails. But it’s still very gross to some people.
And my hair, when it’s as long as it is now…it becomes unmanageble. It sticks out all over…I can’t keep it at all. Even if I comb it a million times a day.
My clothes, well, I just did laundry yesterday, and I forgot to fold my shirt…so it’s all wrinkled. I haven’t gotten new shoes yet, so they’re falling apart (my toes even stick through the sides) and it’s the only pair I’ve got.
And on top of it…I only have 15 or so dollars anyway.
I’d like to come…but I don’t want people leaving thinking their impression of Idle is a bad one…even though it’d probably be true anyway.
I see your point, although I suppose I’ve already given everyone a bad impression, so the only place I have to go is up. (Plus, it’s my last Arizona dopefest evah and all that.)
If we’re talking appearances, I’ll be wearing a blue striped shirt, and orange shorts. Heloise will just be the prettiest girl in the house. That’s all you need to know, you can’t miss.
And speaking of SLK’s SO…here I am…The Lizard Queen. OK, I’m hooked! The membership is a small price to pay for a year of hobnobbing with the caliber of folks I met tonight. The evening went by far too quickly!
(Well, we’re back in Holland, land of many windmills, and we ate at Los Molinos, get it? Huh? Ha!)
It was great meeting all o’ y’alls. The restaurant was excellent, even though we were a little tired still from our travel. Speaking of which, here I am a week later, tired AGAIN from a transatlantic flight. Grrrr.
Thanks again GIGObuster for so generously buying us dinner. Much appreciated! Your fossil made it to Holland without being confiscated by any customs authorities, BTW.
Good to see we converted a few souls that night, as well. You can check out anytime…
