Can I come, mig, CAN I??? You and me on a greyhound/amtrak, booze in one hand and loud music in the other, maniacal laughter all the way. Imagine the California Sweeties' surprise when we show up on their collective doorstep drunk but funky.

PS you are aloud to drink on the bus, yes? I hope so, because it's the only thing that makes plane rides bearable.

no, they don't let you drink on the bus. HOWEVER we can covertly do shots at the rest stops

i'm thinking for CA we would need to amtrack or better yet

RENT A CAR YES I KNOW IT"S CRAZY BUT CAR ROADTRIPS ARE THE BEST

People, if you show up on my turf, then there will be FROSTY CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKES to be consumed.

My brother goes to school in Chicago, and as far as I know he's still there. I should visit him before he graduates.

yes you should. he might need some checking up on, and you are just the guy for the job!

Teleportation science is, sadly, lagging behind. Scientists supposedly successfully "teleported" a beam of laser light from one spot to the other, but I think it might have been a colossal joke because their proof was that the second beam had all of the same characteristics of the first beam.

maybe it was wearing the same shirt! did it look disoriented upon arrival?

popular science always gives me all this optimism about the future, and then i notice they've been running stories about personal flying machines since 1940

Once more, the fact that Denver is basically not a necessary stop to get anywhere worthwhile haunts me. Unless you want to take I-70 to visit Fu (let eve hitch a ride with you), then swing west from St. Louis on your way to San Fransisco. I think this might be the long way, though.

But if anyone of you fine folk ever makes it to our fair city, I'll buy the first round.

heheheh! yes, we do! In fact, there's a boxed Garden Weasel Barbie figure, the only one on Earth. I made it for Jessica for Christmas a few years back. Unfortunately, I only had Elmer's glue at the time and some of the customization has fallen apart. But still ( ... )

san diego in july! anonymous May 30 2003, 17:17:01 UTC
For serious, if you guys road-trip it to San Diego July 17-20, guaranteed you will see at least a couple of us.

With that many people from the internet meeting at once, we will either create a BLACK HOLE OF IMPOSSIBLE COOLNESS or simply light the entire state on fire INSTANTLY.
