Worst meetup ever! Unless I missed something, nobody else showed, so I drank my beer, ate my chicken sandwich and I went home. This sucks!

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
I think I'll go and eat worms
Big fat juicy ones
Little skinny-winny ones
Watch them squiggle and squirm
You bite off their heads
And schloop out the juice
Then throw their skins away
Nobody knows that I survive
On worms three times a day.

The same thing happened to me once at a MeFi meet-up in Philadelphia. I felt like a jackass. My sympathies.

Those punks. I'd hang with the 3.1415[...] any time.

Thanks Agro. I'll just complain to the internet.

Tell it I'm still mad at it for abandoning me for those 8 days.

I hate when that happens, pie. I'll drink an extra Beck's tonight in your honor.

I'm sorry, pie. I updated both threads, but maybe I should have bumped it with it's own post. People just started dropping out left and right, I got a second-hand confirm that Matt wasn't going to show, and I just totally bonked.

I'm just now getting home after covering 85+ miles on public transport carrying a huge bag of stuff, in-between which I did much high energy playing and giant-uncle-type swinging-around of my nephews and niece.

Aww man, I'm sorry, pi. I came down with a fever and chills and all that stuff this afternoon and going to a bar was the last thing I thought I should do.

This happened to me once, too.

*sniff*

Dude! Lame. You know I would have been there had there not been say, 3,000 some-odd miles separating my apartment from the bar you were in.

I hoist a pint to yer anyways!

I am sorry you had to go through that. . .it's a lonely feeling. . .did anyone SAY they were showing, and then didn't?

Bummer, pi. Maybe they were hiding behind the bar? Dirty tricksters...

(wish jon and I could've been there... we'll get out west one of these days... happy holidays anyways...)
