I wanted to talk to you in particular, as well, about a themed...project that I'm working on. I guess I'll talk to you about it there. I'm still throwing ideas into it. You're already with a camp, right?
Thanks to Addis, I had more free time.

I'm pretty sure the presidential appointment was back in January or February. Sorry you missed it, but it is an appointment for life. VP should work well.

Sam, hell yeah. PM me when you're coming into town and we'll meet up.

Yay, home at last. It was great putting some names on faces at the meet&greet, and everyone looked so different from what I expected. Chai Guy, your avatar picture does not do you justice at all, have a cuter one taken. :P

Kinetic, so we did not meet after all... We had to leave when it started to get dark, as we were stupid enough not to have lights on us and had to get back to camp to get some before being ran over. :)

Fat Sam, yes, let's talk, I love hearing about new ideas!

Janka, thank you so much for the compliment! It was lovely meeting you! I'll be in touch about the project we discussed! I think it's very do-able!

Funny that you never see niether of them at teh same time.

On the other hand, I saw Badger that am. He was prepping to be big chief mondo ranger man all day. May have cramped his beans.

Hey Chai, wouldn't those be improved by a last line below the name--now worship my specialness!

Thanks everyone, I and my campmates are glad you all had a wonderful time. I know I certainly did! Let's do it again next year. And someone dropped off a bunch of those MY NAME IS stickers, and they all said "Ken". How appropriate at a Barbie camp.

Hey Doc Pyro,

Thanks for being the host with the most! Much appreciated. Next year I promise to stick around and help with any clean up.


Yes, I think we should print up random stickers that people can choose for the bottom of the name tag including:

"Worship my specialness"

"And I know ______________"

"Respect my Authority"

"That's cool, I don't fucking know who you are either!"

"People like me are ruining this event!"

"Burnier than thou since 19___ "

Sorry, did I spell that incorrectly?

Or are you just agreeing with me.

Neither. Just adding my two sarcastic cents worth.

Well, if you're wearing the same shoes as you wore to the meet & greet, I don't think that'll be very difficult.

This is extremely hard to do... I feel so embarassed... But it must be done.

I need to make an apology to Doc. What happened was wrong, and I have felt like shit about it for a while. Since then. And it's all my f***ing fault.

I'm not asking for forgiveness... I doubt that could happen, nor do I deserve it... but I do need to make the apology (and amends, tho I'm not sure how), and feel it should be made publicly. And it must be made... here.

So, Doc Pyro, awesome guy you are... I am deeply sorry for what happened, for the confusion and the sorrow and the anger and the silence.

I believe it was Sensei who once said 'If you have nothing to apologize for the next day, the party wasn't all that good'.

Had a blast at the Meet n' greet, though I met few actual eplaya-er's. Spent most of my time talking to a wonderful woman named Helena from Ireland who had just happened to wander by and want to take photos of the dying dolls.

Met many of the Apokaliptika folk, who were awesome. Krispy Kreme, you are gorgeous and would eat me alive. Next year I'll track you down and find out if you're hungry.

Incidentally, I was the young one wandering around with the shit-eating grin and "This Sucks" t-shirt.


ye-GODS I miss the playa.
