Yes, and I sure hope 30 minutes is excellent. I'll be 30 minutes late myself today. Leaving the hotel now. See you in a bit!

I know y'all are having a great time, even without Thomas' voice.

Did anyone bring a camera?

I'm just returning to the hotel. (Taxi fare from Cambridge to the Boston financial district: 16 dollars. Cheaper as the 5 block ride from the train station would have been.) Thank you so much, Jespah, Region Philbis, Slappy Doo Hoo, and especially our two hostesses, Dasha and Kris. I had a wonderful time!

PS: Yes there were cameras present. Just give their owners some time to upload.

Good night, and again -- thanks!

Cabs are good. They transport me to bars & back when I'm drunk, like my post-party last night. But we won't get into that.

I hate Dag. She's a wise-ass, and I can't handle that kind of abuse. And her food sucks.

Good to meet who I haven't met before: Thomas, Username, Jespah, RP...hope you had a good trip home Thomas, next time you have to spend some more time seeing the city.

Here's where I get to prove that I cannot use a digital camera.

Pretty flowers as Screech hides: http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r299/jespah301/IM003531.jpg

littlek, Slappy, RP, Thomas and username (I swear they're all just blurry people and there's nothing wrong with my camera skills!): http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r299/jespah301/IM003532.jpg

Guess which things were said at the gathering:
    [i]Are you familiar with sheep? ... and then we discussed bacon ... I was wondering why someone would put liquid oxygen on a bagel I don't go to the gym to hit on women How about that Kirkegaard? Why aren't turkeys asleep all the time?[/i]

Love the flowers!

Screech's eyes looks mighty diabolical there but such fuzziness!! (The furry kind, not the digital camera kind...)

What's with your wrist, dag?

Don't forget the classic: "I really need to shoot the cat now."

Good guess fishin!

We didn't know Slappy was such an artist. But, after seeing my etching, he decided to show us one of his. I gave him a pad and a pen and he made this masterpiece for me to keep!

It was a really nice time. Thanks to everyone for coming and leaving us with enough beer to get us through to spring.

The sketch has a kind of capricious surrealism about it. Quick, contact the ICA!

Oh yes, another classic line: "I wonder why there aren't any Asian midgets?"

Well, we do have Vietnamese midgets as a hired help, sometime they serve also as legwarmers if we can't find any suitable subletters for the purpose of alleviating the brutish coldness of our sleeping chambers.

photo dump!

Kris, Slappy, Reg, Thomas, Username, and Jespah.

Slappy hid successfully, but not for long.

Slappy, going by the artist name of Happy Goat, deep in thought at work. Kris is posing with an Easter Egg - symbol of fertility, good health, and of brutal beating of women in Eastern Europe on Easter Monday (I'll be back with proofs of that)

Region in candle light. It's not that we can't afford electricity...it's my attempt at 'better' photos..no flash. Oh well.
