Do we get to go to Disc Exchange when I'm there, Mongoose?

It's on the list. So is Bananas Records, and we are done, we can go see the biggest piece of cheese ever imported into North America just nextdoor in Mazzaro's Italian Market.

Also, I'm taller than the last time you saw me, not shorter.

So the Italian Market is not whittling the cheese down in the name of commerce?

I didn't hear back from ya! We'll be heading back there in November if you'll still be in the area. Would be cool to plan something in advance.

Thanks, I knew about that. That is more about planned meet ups I thought I meant vacation plans. Serendipitous type meetings, or just vacation pics etc. Some folks love travel.

We should also have a thread for staying at home, and one for being hopeless lost and needing directions.

We have a random thread

I just thought it would be a happy idea, apparently not.

Ohh gotcha.

As of August, I'll be in Tallahassee if you or anyone else wants to have any of those types of rendezvous with me.

I can't get to Tallahassee from here.

If anyone is wondering, it went down like this.

Hyper Alison to Logan: Book your tickets, book your tickets, book it today!
Logan: You are going to be around this summer, for sure?
Alison: Yeah, ha, it's clear I'm not getting a job anytime soon.

5 Days Elapse

Alison: Um, I kinda got a job offer today?
Logan: Doh

That reminds me of the time:

Logan: Let's travel to Norway this fall because we are young and in love!
Girlfriend: Okay! Book the tickets!
Logan: Promise you won't break up with me between now and then?
Girlfriend: Of course!

2 months later - Soul shattering breakup.

2 months after that - Most awkward trip ever.

I see no similarities.

Me and my bro on a ferry from Victoria to Vancouver, lol.

I didn't realize you were so young, DP.

Victoria is where I spent part of my honeymoon! Would love to go back to that area some day. It is so different from the East coast and has such beautiful trees and forests.

Yeah, it's wonderful in BC. My dad lives in Vancouver and his wedding was over around Victoria. They're both beautiful cities. The wedding was in front of Hatley Castle, and here's a picture I took of that place:

Awe DP! He's like a mini-you!

Like a Perturbed Porcupine!

Also - the castle is beautiful! What a great spot for a wedding!

Ahh, we went there too! Such beautiful gardens and huge rhododendrons! You forgot the most awesome part though. That's where the X-men movies filmed the outside of Professor Xavier's school! (Plus other shows and movies)

How was the wedding?

Yeah I heard about that. Neat stuff.

It was great! My dad was real nervous though heh. :P

I realized I never actually posted a picture of myself in this thread, so here is a video I wrote and starred in recently as an introduction to a panel discussion I was on at the Young Americans for Liberty conference.

OMG - llama - that was awesome. I love the dun-dun-dun!!! look at the end.

Mongoose and I sit watching the sky in a world without sound.
We knit a web to catch one tiny fly, in our world without sound.
We sleep in the morning.
We dream of a ship that sails away.
A thousand miles away.

Weekend Highlight:

Murder Park


(post the other photos too!)

That sounds much less romantic than the lovely poem in the first pic, but i look forward to seeing it

Basically we we walking around downtown St Pete at 2am and sneaking around the boat docks and wharfs and stuff. We were walking at Diemens Landing and I steered us back toward the boat slips and away from what I impromptu called "Murder Park."

We thought that was a hilarious title for a book or movie and then preceded to make up sequels all weekend. Murder Wharf, Murder Gazebo, Murder Turret, Murder Bank.

Also he may have inadvertently pushed me down at the playground into the sand. But I was seriously toasted because I had had two strong cocktails.

Someone at the Dali Museum asked Logan if he was Dali's son, no lie.

ALL OF THE FOOD

Fuuun weekend and I'm still recovering.

(Oh we did Bananas and Disc Exchange, for those of you I've already taken there)

This is the greatest thing I've ever heard.

soooo.....Logan is totally Dali's son then right?




.....right???

I don't look Spanish, do I? I am not even remotely Spanish.

Spanish =/= Hispanic. I have a friend from Spain, he has blue eyes and red hair, his name is Lopez.

thellama73 wrote:I don't look Spanish, do I? I am not even remotely Spanish.

No but you do look like you could possibly be British ergo:



But then I had a dream you were second cousin to:



so now I am back to thinking Dali like Mongoose said.

So you're saying I do look Spanish?

You might. You have a European descent look about you; Spain is in Europe.

You know who is half Spanish? Me. You look more Spanish than I do. You at least have brown eyes like my Spanish family.

I can kinda see a family resemblance to Dali here.

^ Is that the Dali Llama?

That's a cool video, Billy.

I'm not Billy.

This woman is looking for you, Llama. Shes kinda pathetic, maybe you should call her.

Trolling Logan is my favorite of the things.

Cry tears of uncontrollable joy, you mean.

Ditto, but it could be cuter than I think.
