I do think I'll be going tomorrow night. It certainly appears that I've gotten out of rehearsal so unless there's some kind of drama tomorrow morning I'm cleared for takeoff. I haven't been out in the real people world in awhile so this is going to be a breath of fresh air, or that's what I'm telling myself to try and get psyched when I'm so criminally underslept and constantly exhausted. Doesn't help that I have some *stuff* going on in the background keeping me up at night. Nothing you wouldn't find in third-rate chick lit but somehow when you're living it out it feels Shakespearean. This too shall pass, eh? Looking forward to seeing you again.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who thought the "look at our party to which you unwashed masses weren't invited" post was a real fuck you to the commenters too.

God bless you. Seriously.

Amazing trip. And your recap was superb!

I'm back (finally!)...where's your recap again?

I've been MIA from Gawker for a few days, swamped at life/work. But, yeah, kewl wrap-up, and I look forward to future run-ins with you and furry-clothing. :-P

The photos are good! You are in a couple of them. I can email them to you if you like, PM me your address if you'd like the evidence. Pittsburgh is a fun town. I did that train ride every spring break in high school, it's really quite a pleasant way to travel. I'm trying to get back in time to see the Carnegie International, it consistently kicks the Biennial's backside. For a small town, it has a rather kick ass collection of museums.

See, thing I would have known had we spoken. Someone remarked on a picture on Mike's FB page: "Maevemealone is a woman?! Who knew?!" I thought it funny. I'll grab you at the next next meet up!

@TheologicalSong: Thanks for the pointer, it was fun to hear what you had to say! Sometimes the clearer vision comes with a bit of perspective. I certainly think I'd write a different story if I wasn't drunk, for instance. :-) Left you a little response over there. But you can write me here too, I'll definitely get the message more directly!

A loverly and vivid recap, indeed! And the reason you forget all our good moments is because we never actually interacted beyond my shakin' my groove thang in your general direction and hip-bumping with Zorica within view of you. I did, of course, admire your shaggy vest! And next one of these, mayhaps we'll actually share a word or two!

ah, I've found it - splendid! xoxo
