Hi Gyre, Figjam, Elorrum. What a mess, Trillo. Hope all is once more serene and dry in your world. Hope to see you at the Decomp.

I hope to see everyone on Sunday, too!

I didn't mean to leave you hanging, Figjam, I just didn't want to ramble too much with the details. It appears there was a clog in the drainage line somewhere between where neighbors' lines merge with ours and the main runoff. The maintenance guy claims snaking it will do the trick, though I can't help but think there should be some kind of backwater valve in there someplace. We put in a request with the management people to get that sorted.

In other news, I did get a couple projects uploaded to my behance page. It still feels a bit awkward and weird, I'm not used to pontificating about that stuff. Plus a lot of the projects I get involved with end up being things I can't talk about publicly. I'm partly humoring someone, and partly curious to see how it all works.

Finally, got some kind words about a few of our Second Life pieces. Hooray for ending the day on a positive note :)

Magic and Trillo. I hope to see you both this Sunday. I'll be 'Greeting from 6pm till 8. Durring the nicer part of the day I hope to be either sitting in the park drinking beer or skating. It IS ok to bring in beer isn't it"? I can't remember what I did last year.

Hummm. That's odd. I just noticed that the listings are an hour off on the time. Of course it could have been that way for years and I wouldn't know. I only noticed because it's past Savannah's bed time. NOW TURN OUT THAT LIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER PEEP!

HI Marty! You're up early!
Hi Ratty!
Hi AntiM!
Note's sleeping Savannah, runs to grab warm water and whipped cream and a peacock feather**

I'll be there early for a staff meeting, so be there all day. Hoping to set up a little "camp" on the grass somewhere.

Happy birthday, Unjon!

Wait, there's an entrance on Mariposa? I thought we were going to have to walk to 19th and Minnesota... As for bringing beer, I don't know of any specific policy, but SF does have open container laws. A couple years back when we brought an installation we had a big cooler full of beer with us, we just poured them into cups and had no trouble.

If you mean the listings are off an hour on ePlaya, that's probably because of daylight savings and can be changed in the User Control Panel. Or you can sit tight, and it'll go back to being right in a few more weeks :D

Happy Thursday, everybody! I've got to go work on putting some stuff together for our Burn2 camp in a bit, then it's off to scrape the yellow off some lemons...

It's not the main entrance. It's for performers and people setting up projects and the guest list.

Morning All and Happy Birthday Unjonharley. You are still a slip of a boy! Fishy has it right, as usual. The Mariposa Will Call is for performers as I understand it, Trillo. See ya Sunday, Ratty

Hello all! Sorry to miss you again, (((Marty))).

Happy Birthday, Unjohn! 8)

And :? hmmm Elorrum I know I responded to your post last night, waving my arms and squealing "Meeeeeeeeeee!!!!" to the offer of a drink. Can't find it now, though. Gosh.

Have fun at the SF decomp, all who are going. I got an email saying I could get a free ticket for working EMS, but... :|

Hello beautifuls!

Most joyous celebrations on the anniversary of your emergence, Unjon!

I got the same offer for working DMV, MDF... But the Bay Area is just a hair out of the price range currently. *sigh*

I guess I'll have to find something to do in L.A. :roll:

Yes! Teleporter. Dang, it is the 21st century after all.
I'm thinking of coming to S.F., googled the train schedule and everything. (just like I do every year.)
Howdy all, and happy birthday to Unjon!

Seems reasonable... at least you don't want sharks with fricken' lasers on their heads... actually you probably could use that... never mind...
