    So, the next conference I am going to is in
    Brooklyn, the weekend of June 8th.

    If any NYC sorabjites want to grab a beer or
    something, drop me a line.

    the city that will eat you up.


    starts with a beer, next thing you know its a blurry 5am and your getting a handjob in the bar bathroom from some girl you met 4 hours ago.

    I dont think i've ever gone to bed in NYC before 4am. I don't think there has been a time when i've gone to NYC and not had some sort of kinky experience.

    have fun sem

    I see they are having a real heat wave there,at least here it's a dry heat.I have never wanted to go to New York City,till after 9/11 but now I do,and I wish I had more time when I go next week back home,always wanted to see D.C.,and it's only 225 miles from Charelston,someday.Here is something I found out when I booked a room at the Comfort Inn in Beckley W.V.,I was trying to get the goverment discount,which would have been $67.00 dollars,but the lady asked me why I was booking a room there and when I told her,I got the same room for $49.00 a night.

    do you have a car? Drive to Toronto!

    It's so close you could almost crawl there! Really! Okay, not really. but it's close enough.

    Are you in Toronto, Gee? I thought you were
    somewhere in Alberta for some dumb reason.
    I am a day's drive of Canada right now.

    Come and visit me! You could come to my housewarming party tomorow (sat.), or you could come to my friends house and watch Backlash on Sunday.

    Yes, come on Sunday to visit me. After Backlash we're going to the Hardrock where we may or may not get half-price food. (my friend's husband works there)

    are you busy?

By semillama on Friday, April 19, 2002 - 11:36 pm:

    um, yeah.

    I wish I could though. Watching Backlah with
    you sounds fun. maybe i will come this
    summer though - how about that?

By Gee on Sunday, April 21, 2002 - 02:41 am:

    Okay. Come up one time when they show that month's pay-per-view and then we can watch wrestling.

    my house-warming party was not what I expected, but still fun.

    Typically I will invite about 60 people to a party and get about 40-50 confirmations of people who will be there. When the time for the party comes along, only about 1-5 people will show and all at different times. That is a typical party for me. My best friend has the same luck, but she has a basement with a living room set up and a pool table and a summer kitchen we fill with booze, so when only 5 people show, no big deal, more booze and pool and louder music for us.

    My last housewarming party I was expecting this to be the norm, but about 30 people actually showed. It was the first time Sherri (my best friend) got to meet the group I used to hang with. It was wild (for me). One person was mad at another ex roommate of hers who showed up with this know it all guy who was a car salesman, and a total ass. The two girls almost got in a fight over the whole way one moved out and supposed hypocracy in dating. Ruth got drunk and started stroking Spunky's golf clubs. My sister and her husband showed up and pissed everyone off. Spunky's cowboy cousin showed up and all of the women were fighting over him. Heather (a social worker) took Christopher away from my sister and changed his clothes and tried to play with him. Sherri ended up sitting in the living room with my Dad and Grandma taking care of Christopher. After most everyone left, the rest grabbed me and we went out clubbing and had a horrible time. The drunks were bitching about the clubs all nite, and I hitched a ride home (I had downed over a 6 pack and wasn't driving).

    The night was just completely not what was expected, but I got a really cool picture frame and candles as gifts.

    when dave and i have a party, we invite about forty to fifty people, about thirty of them within the last two days before the party, and thirtyish show up. then i get stimulus overload trying to have conversations with as many of them as possible. it's totally insane.
