the weekend went away so quick.. it seems wrong, or it doesn't sound like a good phrase. in other words, what would you say? something that is more commonly used...
@castlegar,

castlegar, you need to research the topic of adverbs.
@castlegar,
Gar it's perfectly okay collo although some well tell you it's grammatically incorrect 'cause you hafta explain why or what
...so quick that I hardly remember anything that happened
Also one might bold "so"

Because it is incorrect in formal standard English to use an adjective in place of an adverb, even though it is often found in casual speech. I doubt if the OP will know what you mean by "collo".
@contrex,
Quote:what you mean by "collo".
I'd hoped to introduce the term thru the participants' curiosity. S'pose Con I should quit since it only adds another layer of complexity to a difficult task

No, don't quit. I like this idea.
@contrex,
Why, Con thank you for the encouragement; thought my quest might prove hopeless
