Yes, I’m planning on picking up **Rasa**. I’ll be the shorter, not-exactly-thin redhead without a stud in my nose. 😃 See you tomorrow!!! Rose ---

Sweet. 😃 I’ll be in overalls and a sexy blue shirt. I’ve got ridiculously curly brown hair and glasses. Oh, and I’ll have a beautiful woman on my arm… [sub]Homo vibe of love alert! TINFOIL![/sub] ---

Is a dopefest suitable for an eight-year-old boy? It looks like if I go, I’ll have to bring him with me. ---

Unfourtunately, I can’t make it. I’ll miss hanging out ('specially with the hats). Have fun everyone! ---

_sniffle_ **Blu** and I got to Quincy Market (a feat in and of itself!) and walked around for about two hours, trying to feel the homo love vibes! Anyway, it was great to finally meet **WickedBlue** , and we had a great time freezing our asses off and accosting random passers-by saying “we’re looking for two lesbians and a guy in a panda suit!” (Ok so we didn’t really say that to anyone but each other…) So sorry we missed y’all, but we were there! Next time, cell phone numbers will exchanged or something, cuz I missed the part about meeting near the Comedy Connection! Hope you had fun! ---

hey guys this is megan, andygirl and quietgirls’s friend from school. It was so great to meet you all. The aquarium was much fun, as was Uno’s. I just wanted to let you know that your charming personalities got me on the boards for the first time. I hope to see some of you again some time. If ever in Boston, say wassup and we’ll do something. ---

Sorry I missed it everyone…my mom went out of town this weekend, and my sister didn’t want to be stuck home alone all day. She’s 17, so she can hold her own, but without transportation she’d be trapped here. I offered that she could come to Boston with us, but her exact words were something like “Yeah right. I’m gonna meet a bunch of people off a message board…like I want to die.” So I ended up caving and doing the sister thing instead…we went to breakfast, and shopping in Providence. Next time, I’m there, I promise 🙂 ---

**Rasa** , I’m so bummed we all didn’t meet up with you and **WickedBlue**. We probably _just_ missed you somehow. I think three of us showed up with foil hats and that was enough to get most of the group together. We were sitting in the downstairs dining area just below the Comedy Club. In our group we had **Eonwe, andygirl, Robot Arm, quietgirldownthehall, Lux Fiat, Totoro, coffeecat (and his coffeekitten), and (as of tonight) BostonGirl**. We ate and chatted at Quincy Market for about an hour-and-a-half and watched some bell ringers before {exit Totoro} walking to the New England Aquarium, where we spent a couple hours with the Verizon-sponsored Little Blue Penguins, the Sea Lions, and Myrtle the Turtle (who’s incidentally the biggest fish in the tank, according to the person with the microphone). Coffeekitten was extremely excited to see every fish that swam by. Thanks for bringing him along, coffeecat 🙂 . We left the aquarium {exit the coffee’s} and hit Pizzeria Uno for dinner (and the drink andygirl owed me), then {exit Lux and BostonGirl} drove to Haverhill for a great show from the [Nields](http://www.nields.com) sisters. Thanks to **andygirl** and anyone else that helped make stuff happen; I had a great weekend. Sometime we should do this again in a more organized fashion. [sub]it’s so nice to be _writing_ the vB code again instead of having to _say_ it all day[/sub] ---

I had a fabulous time. 🙂 It was just an amazing day, from seeing Jen for the first time since September to watching an amazing Nields show… Rasa, WB, ☹ We will definately be more organized next time. We’ll have a spring get-together that will be just jolly, I promise. ---
