The suites have a separate bedroom and living room, so you can still have some privacy even with more people in the suite.

Oh yeah, testify to that. We didn't seem to have any real problems last year with Jes and Cash getting the room and me and Moo colonising the living room. Only real problem was the crappy fold-out bed. Uber-thin and droopy so in the end just didn't bother with it and slept length-ways on the sofa. :)

Hell, didn't they even have a little fridge and a microwave as well? I know they had a fridge since we stashed some of the BD's takeaway in it, but not certain about the microwave. :/

Cash says yes, there was a microwave - he points out that apparently you used it. :) I don't remember one way or the other, but I remember there was a fridge, and a separate sink in the living room *and* the bedroom, as well as the one in the bathroom.

The *only* downside is that the door to the bathroom is off the bedroom, not the living room. That's manageable, though.

I did? Ah well, what with my memory, I'll just take his word on it. Kinda like why I kept trying to give you that money three or four times. :)

Yarrrrr. Which is why me and my... ahem... "spousal-like limb" (lurve that) were able to split our hotel room with Ick and Kawaii (who was not idling the whole time!). Though I'll agree with Jes - the bathroom being on the bedroom side of the dividing door was just lame. Supah lame. But still, a dealable sort of situation, really.

Except, ya know, when you lock the door. At which point a drunk Moo and Flak have to go wandering the hotel looking for the public bathroom. ;)

Or did you just not drink one night and I was too drunk to interpret your reason for not drinking ... either way. your situation is special! are there other people who have Spousal-like limbs?

by the way love the sig ... it was a great speach :)
That might have been the night where I only had one or two drinks because I still had an hour and a half drive back home that night.

That was comedy... it's always slightly surreal to see your "boss" like that. :)

Only cause you weren't involved..... :p

*Embassy Suites, 3am*

Desk Clerk: Can I help you?
Moo: Yes.
Desk Clerk: *Waiting several seconds, and trying /not/ to get a contact buzz* With what sir?
Moo: Ummmm... I don't know. Do you know what I wanted?
Desk Clerk: No sir, that was why I asked.
Moo: Well you're no help. Hey... maybe it's in the computer. *Reaching over the desk*
Desk Clerk: Security!

Damnit. Gencon looks so much more expensive when you're on the other side of an ocean. Now I can't just jump in my car, spur of the moment, and go there for the weekend if need be. :( I haven't missed a gencon since I've started to attend. Thought I'd miss it last year, but I went anyway, and had a hell of a good time. Hrm. Maybe I can stowe away on a boat...or maybe not, cause that would suck. Gah! I wanna goooo!

I'm supposed to do, you know, doctory things this summer. But only for part of it, and it's probably some sort of reasearch, which means that if you guys can be predictably pathological, I might be able to actually study you. On the plus side, there's a chance that student loans or research grants will cover a trip to the midwest for drinking. So plan, plan, plan, and I might be able to make it.
There is then a need to guard against a temptation to overstate the economic evils of our own age, and to ignore the existence of similar, or worse, evils in earlier ages. Even though some exaggeration may, for the time, stimulate others, as well as ourselves, to a more intense resolve that the present evils should no longer exist, but it is not less wrong and generally it is much more foolish to palter with truth for good than for a selfish cause. The pessimistic descriptions of our own age, combined with the romantic exaggeration of the happiness of past ages must tend to setting aside the methods of progress, the work of which, if slow, is yet solid, and lead to the hasty adoption of others of greater promise, but which resemble the potent medicines of a charlatan, and while quickly effecting a little good sow the seeds of widespread and lasting decay. This impatient insincerity is an evil only less great than the moral torpor which can endure, that we with our modern resources and knowledge should look contentedly at the continued destruction of all that is worth having. There is an evil and an extreme impatience as well as an extreme patience with social ills.

Like so many others, I'd love to go, but not sure if I'll be able to go. Moving to Jacksonville in April is going to cause more than a bit of disruption to any potential vacation plans.

Well, um... obviously /our/ GenCon/Gathering plans are a bit up in the air at this point. Though I'd love to at least get to GC for a day or two. Finally will be able to drink again, plus we can show off Little Boltgrinder..... ;)

Yeah, like the year before when Mael was too busy dieing in our bathroom so we had to go wandering to find another one.

See that! It was only a matter of time before she gave in! :D

It wasn't so bad. I was only idle for about 3-4 hrs a night. ;)

I'm in - Gathering and GC, but since my current company is being bought out even as we speak, I'd like to get definite dates soonish so I can put them in as soon as possible.
Ever lovable and always scrappy,
