Well, I am just shocked. Shocked and appalled. I am shocked and appalled and disgusted. And saddened. (I’ll come in again…)
What I heard is that you people are **pigs. _PIGS!!_** Not a single chocolate chip cookie left! No ribs, no chili… What am I supposed to eat, here, huh? Yeah, all right, the barrell o’ Utz is half gone already, but that’s not exactly _sustaining_, y’know? _sigh_ Last year I left the week before RenFest. This year I arrive the day after RibFest. At least I am narrowing the gap. If I keep trying, maybe next year I will actually hit the right day and get to meet some of you people and have a good time, too. And get some of this freakin’ food!!

Well, if there are no ribs left for you, it’s all your evil brother’s fault - he was giving them away like gangbusters on Sunday morning. Clearly not thinking about you at all - how inconsiderate of him! (I just polished off the last of the ones I took home - thanks, Dave, they were delicious!)

You \*\*Dave \*\* are the "GOD OF RIBS " AND **Mrs Dave** Is "THE GODDESS OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES " The family is really great to allow a bunch of beer swilling rib eating cookie munching Dopers to invade your home. Thanks again I had a wonderful time. Always do.
PS I have the good sense not to mention all the naughty things that went on Saturday. 😉 Besides A good bit of it is just comming back to me now.
Love Ya All

Not only pigs, but cruel, too. 😛 That’s okay, we gets us some fresh ribs on the Fourth of July. 😃 And I am managing on Mom’s oatmeal cookies, which give the choco chips a run for their money.

I posted the[saga of flight 612](http://www.livejournal.com/users/zyada/221208.html) in my LJ.
Except for the little minor difficulties related within, I had a wonderful time. Damn but I wish y’all all lived right next door to me!

Me too, **Zyzda** - meeting you at last was like running into an old friend for the first time.
Which reminds me, I’ve got this 15-second clip of you and **Sakura** dancing. Only problem is, while I was filming, I had the camera turned sideways for a better angle. And while I can rotate a still photo 90° with no problem, my cheapo movie player won’t do that with a movie image, durnitall. So I’ve got something that’s very watchable, but you’ve gotta turn your head sideways.
Anyone got a suggestion for fixing this so I can post it to the album?

Excellent pictures, **Euty** and **RT**. Great memories of a wonderful time at _Casa Dave-Guy_.
Don’t be strangers, y’hear?

Strangers? _Strangers?_
Why, we’ll be returning _sooner than you think!!_
BWA HA HA!!!
And oh, yeah. Good pics, y’all.
