Portland meetup bump! Come out and send off cmonkey with your best wishes!

I'll send cmonkey off with a story of a dream I had about him a couple of nights ago.

We were in Riga, Latvia, although it looked a lot like East Harlem. We were in a Vietnamese restaurant drinking these enormous cocktails that had fish in them (you didn't eat the fish). We got very drunk. The end.

I didn't dream of cmonkey, but I'll see you tonight!

I'll see you this evening!

I'll be there in spirit, you be there with spirits (although don't let Specklet get too drunk! Hee!).

Where is cmonkey going?

He's moving to Germany, Jan. *sigh* (More incentive for me to make it across the pond sooner rather than later!)

That's a weird dream, gaspode. I haven't been yet but I'm pretty sure that vodka with goldfish is a typical holiday drink in Latvia because they have an abundance of both.

The annoying thing about moving a squillion miles away is discovering just how much crap you have that you simultaneously know you'll never need but still can't feel right getting rid of.

Heh, my mum still has loads of my crap that I unloaded on her when I left NZ, for that very reason, cmonkey.

And what happened to our living happily ever after with floating polar bears and pot clouded sex romps? i am so not including you in random confabulations anymore, especially since you'd have gone all German on me.

If looking dour and refusing to open windows and listening to David Hasslehoff is wrong then I do not want to be right.

It occurs to me now after you have all probably stopped checking this thread that the only person I'm likely to recognize is Specklet. Not that MashTun is such a huge cavernous place, but still.

I think I am going to wear a black shirt that has a large white star on it, so if you see me, let me know where you are!

I'll look for you. Hopefully black shirts with white stars won't be a popular fashion choice this evening because hoo boy that could be awkward.
