Oh. My. God. No-SA! Do NOT! Hahahaha… ok so maybe in a sort of vague, angular, skinny way we do. Other than that, no. I get in late Wednesday night to SJ, like 10:20 pm I believe. I’m sure you’ll all understand if we don’t… venture out… till um like… well, you’ll be lucky if we make it to the Dopefest on Saturday. Kidding, we’ll be there! Thanks for the offer of the tickets though Sue. I’m pretty much up for anything, the only real plans I have are Saturday and Sunday nights (other than the Dopefest). I speak for oldscratch as well cuz his time is MINE while I’m there. 😉 So let us know when/if anyone not going to the Dopefest wants to get together and we’ll try to make it happen. And if I don’t catch you the 5 days I’m there, don’t worry. I’m looking for jobs in the area, and hope to be there before New Years. 😃 Can’t fucking wait! ---

“Help! Help! We’re being opressed!” Ok so everyone in #straightdope agreed with Sue and says we DO look alike. I am afraid. Heehee. No I’m not. 😃 50 some odd hours to go… woo! ---

Hey, **Rasa** , I’ve still got another 30 days, and heaven knows when I’ll be able to get up to the Bay area, so do me a favor? Give **oldscratch** a _biiiiiiiiiiiiiig_ kiss with tongue for me, just to keep him warm until I get there. 😉 December 29, baby! Esprix ---

Hi Rasa! Welcome _MY_ state. It’s mine. I own it. I also own this silver pipe sitting here in front of me. Maybe that’s why I’m acting so funny. Anyway, have fun, I know you will. 😉 Man, California rules… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rasa \* > \*\* > California smells like cedar! \*\* Sorry, that’s my cologne. Welcome to my city. Demo has claimed the state of California, but since nobody else has yet, I’m officially sub-claiming San Francisco as mine. I’d like the rent checks no later than the 15th of every month, please. P.S. - Any of you hitting any drinking establishments in the city, before the official Dope-fest on Saturday? Let me know. I might even show up this time. ---

Good morning everyone! Since this connection is really really slow and I can’t scroll down and see what everyone’s had to say… I’ll do this from memory. I met Nymysys! And, let me tell you, she’s even more beautiful in person. She came all the way to O’Hare Airport to meet me for like 20 min. And Nym–I didn’t open your gift till I got here! Swear to god. Ask scratchie, he’ll back me up. Thanks for giving me a tour of the trippy Fantasia airport, and don’t forget “The walkway is now moving!” You rock. **Espirix** : Done and done. Though I ain’t moving over when you get here, sorry! 😉 Your countdown is next. **Jack Batty** : Hmm. Your cologne permeates the whole state? Oy. And yeah, um, I’ll get back to you on the rent thing… right. Well, we just got up and are having breakfast and all that fun stuff. Haven’t yet ventured outside since I got here. Well, I did walk outside first thing this morning in my pj’s and scandalized the neighbors, but anyway. Woo!
