May 28, 200917 yr comment_238613 Wuhoo! There's a better than slight chance I'll be swinging by the hotel ~1pm on Friday, anyone going to be around? If so look for the tall, pasty white guy sucking down drinks in the bar. With any luck, I will be there before then. You have my #. Call when you get to the hotel. I'll be the tall, not so pasty guy having a beer with you. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238614 packing gear and loading the car now, should be there between 2-4 depending on traffic Report

May 28, 200917 yr comment_238628 If you guys can pace yourselves till 2:30ish, you'll be joined by a third thirsty tall-y. And if your still standing by 3:30 you can be joined by a short fat guy. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238629 If you guys can pace yourselves till 2:30ish, you'll be joined by a third thirsty tall-y. As I understand it, once you arrive, I am no longer considered tall. The idea is to re-enact the SJ National, which requires a trip to the beach, hitchhike and get a ride in the back of a pickup truck. Having said that, we will probably be at the bar when you arrive. And if your still standing by 3:30 you can be joined by a short fat guy. Do you know this short fat guy? If so, we will have no problem drinking with him until you arrive. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238630 This taller fat guy will be there at noon, though I might have a head start downing as much free airline booze as I can on my way there. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238633 The VanJam team is assembling ...

Who knows what today may bring. Report

May 28, 200917 yr comment_238642 Right on! You guys and gals are going to have a blast. I look forward to a detailed play-by-play, even if incoherent. Pictures are a must. And I'll know to board a plane and start billing if I see any mug shots. Safe travels to all of you. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238645 After last night's frivolity, I got a good solid 4 hours of sleep before waking up at 5:30am to get on a conference call for work. Excedrin is a good thing, is all I'm saying. Still on the call, but taking a detour to check out the state of affairs. Gene is awake and the rest of the crew in Mayberry is still snoring away. After this call, we have time to play around the Bay, we will pick up the VanJam Sprinter, and check out Jenny Lewis and The Sadies at the Fillmore (West). Perhaps a beverage or two will be consumed along the way. Know y'all will have a great time. Someone have a scotch for me. Perhaps another year. A scotch?! Ha ha ha ha! Report

May 28, 200917 yr comment_238653 I just spoke to Dom and I am pretty certain he is a go. Cool. We got to him while we were at the game last night. The power of the plus a little scholarship was a powerful combination! Tell Jenny I love her long time. Maybe I will print out one or your drinking thread self-portraits and try to get her to rub herself with it. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238654 Cool. We got to him while we were at the game last night. The power of the plus a little scholarship was a powerful combination! I want in on contributing to the scholarship. stevieo also told me this morning, after I woke him up, that he is arriving tonight. Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238656 I want in on contributing to the scholarship. stevieo also told me this morning, after I woke him up, that he is arriving tonight. OK, probably will need to talk to Gene on the $. We also talked to stevieo and he spilled that he was coming. This meet is truly going to be like the Harmonic Convergence, although more powerful than that turned out. Dinny better get on that plane just in case... Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238667 I cannot start meet impressions because that is Matt's job, but I think we should merge over some pictures and have an official impressions thread. Anyway, here is how the MOAR team was greeted on arrival here at 12:30 this morning: While I have been on this ongoing conference call, Gene has been clawing away at his laptop and then Stephen came down to join him for some coffee shandies: Ah, the breakfast of champions: More MOAR to come.

May 28, 200917 yr comment_238672 Damn I want to be there so bad. There's still time! Just say whether you can make the time, and we will figure out how to make it happen! Report
May 28, 200917 yr comment_238680 No possible way. Relay for life tomorrow -> saturday. Saturday I pickup the engagement ring, and Sunday I leave for Block Island where I am proposing. Maybe next year Report
