Re: Oh the places you go alright

Did someone say "body paint"? We have gallons and gallons of paint, and a nice shaded space with spill-proof floor. Come on over and paint somebody! Bring a friend to adorn with our paint -- whatever. Noon to 6, mostly, but.... Plus... Friday morning is of special interest, to prepare the ...

Re: The Bar 2018 Edition

I looked at my Burner Profile a day or two ago. And there was a button for purchasing $1,200 tickets. As I recall from previous years, the $1,200 tickets may not sell out at all. With these tickets still available directly from BM, there would be no reason on Earth to buy one from an unknown third p...

Re: The Bar 2018 Edition

Late in strike week, I had occasion to watch a DPW crew take down the street sign posts and such. Then they seemed to take a break by our camp -- directly upwind, as it happened. Soon, the breeze delivered a storm of cigarette butts into our camp. Before they took their break, I walked over to them ...

But I do have a few mementos available for gifting to worthy ePlayans... a 2009 Survival Guide jumped out at me.
This file cabinet is not quite readily accessible, but I will happily dig if there is a request. :D
