The Bar, Volume #4

[Patsh]

Hey Triken!
Having talked to the always-jubilant Delle on the telephone some time back, I am also looking forward to meeting her.

As for a ticket, that ought not be difficult. I just looked at Craigslist in Arizona, and there are tickets being offered below face value.

Are you still on the road?

Hi Elliot!
You're gonna love our Delle... She's the Best!!
We're still in Washington, and I'll be flying back to AZ tomorrow. This has been quite a month, starting with the Hof party, thousands of miles covered west to east and back, US and Canada, and ending with the news that Delle and Kenny can join us in the dust! It just doesn't get any better than that!!

my view:

[burner von braun]

Great to see you checking in from your North American Tour Triken! And Yay! for Delle and Kenny too. It sounds like the ticket dam is about to break loose, as it always seems to do about now.

Busy busy here, this weekend is devoted to all things truck related, and if time permits, finalizing shelter stuff, ..and more. But truck for sure.

*waves to all and scrambles out through the tent flap, wrench in hand*

[burner von braun]

*feeling compelled to poke head back in through tent flap any time there is a shuttlecraft in the backyard*

Nice view yggy! Wow, it is good to be ygmir!

[ygmir]

Hey BVB!!
Yeah, I only wish it were mine.
But, just getting to store it is a "Tekkiegasm", so, yay.

seeya on the playa soon!!!

[Patsh]

Had to let this little iPad cool down before it melted!
Now, I'm back, and the Thursday deadline is off, as Delle and Kenny can have both my tickets, with the new (and as yet, still unsecured) ticket being for me. Wonderful FIGJAM is helping out from his place, and I'm starting to feel confident that it'll all work out just fine. Fuck, he's Good... Just ask him!

BVB, I'm really looking forward to meeting you this year! You will, of course, be at the Wednesday meet'n'greet, yes??

[Patsh]

Also there are the 1000 tickets that are being offered on OMG through BMORG. Register her profile on August 2. That registration closes on Aug 5 and then those tickets get sold to the first 1000 on the queue. Should not be a problem and I am looking forward to seeing Delle once again!!!

I know the drill for the OMG sale, but, as I already bought two earlier, I'm not allowed more. We have it all figured out, and if anyone of us doesn't have a ticket, it'll be me. Not worried, though... I have faith that I'll get one in time.

See you again SOON!

[magicmarty]

Good going, Triken! Hey BVB, we gotta meet this year for sure. Our camp in Hushville will be on the corner of 5 and D. Will be working ARTery shifts on Saturday and Sunday mornings and Art Tours on Tuesday and Friday. Be operating the "Magic Marty Ladies Massage and advice to the Romantically Challenged Salon" much of the rest of the time. And yes, will be at the MnG on Wednesday.

(((LF))) Gettin' closer. And yes, it is good to be YG!

[Elliot]

*staggers in*

Last weekend (hic) I participated in an event where (hic) I was awarded a "party pig" of Oregon Trail Red, which (hic) turned out to be a wondermussly flavourful fork-eating dark ale. (belch)

I thought we emptied the pig at the eat-and-drink-o-rama that followed the Awards Unceremony, but the next day I detected a slight sloshing effect, and I put the pig in the fridge when I got home.

This afternoon I took Dr. Sawsall to the tricycle I used in Oregon -- and at several burns. Progress is calling. So I conducted a respectful wake -- involving the left-over fork-eating beer. (hic)

Now.... In about four hours I need to drive a red sports car to a local event. I guess the wake needs to end now.


*no idea what I'm typing. Life is good*
(burp)

[burner von braun]

.
Wow! Beer so good you'd even be willing to drink it out of a bowl using a fork!! Now THAT my friends, is good beer!

BVB, I'm really looking forward to meeting you this year! You will, of course, be at the Wednesday meet'n'greet, yes??

Indubitably! ..wild horses couldn't keep me away from the M&G, ..now those fire-breathing dragons.. well..

..besides, that bottle of Bourbon from Kentucky isn't gonna just walk over there by itself now is it?!
*glances over at bottle of bourbon just to make sure*

And yes sir Marty, I am looking forward to it! I'll try to catch up with you folks early in the week!

[MyDearFriend]

(((BVB))) if you let that bottle of bourbon walk over by itself I will send it right back for you. With Elliot's beer-fork.

Good to see you all again! I seriously underestimated how many beer cans we would need for our project so I am way behind on prep, but... my evenings are very relaxed, these days.

Still at work so I am sober still. 24 more cans of beer here by my desk= my task for this weekend. I am taking them to the shore. It may be 2 more days before you hear from me again.

Triken that is such excellent news about Delle & Kenny! Good work, Triken & FIGJAM!!!

[Elorrum]

Delle! Delle! Delle! Hurrah for Delle! That is wonderful news!

MDF, if you're going to the beach, I bet you could find some willing helpers if you describe your, er, dillema, emptying beer cans.
Have a great time!

Elliot, we'll need to see that beer fork at the meet and greet, I'm thinking it might be sort of mug shaped.

Ev uh ree one, have a great evening!

[delle]

Wonderful doesn't even begin to scratch the surface, Elorrum!

I am blessed.

(and Thank you, thank you, Figjam, for your help in this matter! I seriously can't thank you enough)

Edited to say Triken's thank you has been a 3-day long gush thus far.... the briefest synopsis of which can be found in the Fuck Yeah! thread.... as so well predicted by Schtev.

Fucking blessed I tell you!!!!

I can hardly believe I'm going to see you all again this year.

[ygmir]

hey gang!!
yay, Delle is on her way!! (rubs ankle).
Triken!! as usual, doing everything possible, to make sure others have fun!! yer a great one, you are!
Have you gotten your ticket yet?
If not, we need to start scouring the hillsides for one for you.

[ygmir]

crimeny!! I almost didn't see it's CFM and JK's birthday today!!

Happy, Happy birthday(s), you two.

[FIGJAM]

Have'nt heard back from the ticket seller yet, so lets keep all the bases covered folks!

[trilobyte]

Please keep the ticket-seeker stuff to the ticket boards (and get a thread started there if you haven't already got one going). Otherwise invariably some of the people who come in and start posting in other boards and threads will cry foul when we zap 'em. That said, it's great news! Good luck, I'm confident you'll be able to get something sorted out.

Sounds like a tough job, MDF, but it's for a worth cause I hope the weather's awesome for you this weekend, don't forget to lay it on thick in the sunblock department, avoid getting lobsterized

I'm finally done with painting for the night, and enjoying another drink or two before bed.

[graidawg]

Hey guys! it's Saturday (i think) and it is super lovely and warm here. My task for today is too avoid drama, so i fitted an cooker hood for my landlord and am now telling some random burner maybe how to fix there window. it s that or get dressed and do it myself.

[Elorrum]

Good Morning Grai! Warm and lovely, no drama, here as well. I haven't stepped outside though, so the possibilities are still endless.

[Aurelia]

Good Morning Grai and Elorrum, All

Delle's friend is coming over, yay ..'course like all CA visitors she wants a wine tour.
Fine ,as long as we can finish that off at NIMBY and burner work...

now that txs are going to 68000 probably some still available ?
xoA.

[ygmir]

*wanders in, makes tea*

glad to hear ya gettin' some stuff to the "finished" phase Trilo!! I can't tell ya how I'm looking forward to seeing your art!!

So GD: you confuse me: why does fitting a window require dressing? Clothes, that is.

HI ASD!! Sounds like a fun day ahead, for you.

Hi Elorrum. How's the diet changes going? Mine is kicking my ass!! hahaa

well, at least we all know one pleasure, that's totally ok.

Cartoons!!

*strokes TV, heads for IBBOD*

[FIGJAM]

Something I call the undiet.

Think of a fantastic meal the day before.

Example: steak dinner including salad, baked potato with all the fixins, steak, beans, and apple pie for desert.

Have the pie for breakfast.

Have the salad and maybe the potato for lunch.

Steak and beans for dinner.

No fair increasing the portions just because you spread the meal out for the whole day.

Just one of my crazy ideas.

[ygmir]

cool idea, FJ!!
I may try that, once I "detox".......the tea seems to be doing it's job. and with no sugar, low carbs and low fat, and no "processed" stuff, I feel it's cleaning me.....I hope.

[Elorrum]

hmm, I'm still in the honeymoon phase where salad is refreshing and surprisingly satisfying.

[unjonharley]

I'm glad to see a salad bar added in this place..

[FIGJAM]

In this place?

It's probably a salad bra!

[Elliot]

In this place?

It's probably a salad bra!

Dear Figjam:

Is that anything like a whipped cream bikini?

[ygmir]

In this place?

It's probably a salad bra!

Dear Figjam:

Is that anything like a whipped cream bikini?

from a can?

[FIGJAM]

In this place?

It's probably a salad bra!

Dear Figjam:

Is that anything like a whipped cream bikini?

Absolutly not!

It's for Yggys diet!
