It sucks sucks sucks! Of course I am happy about Terry and David's wedding. But hell the timing could NOT be more shitty. I just got off the phone with Lucimay. The sympathy was MUCH needed. F*ck. I know, I am swearing. I don't care. Ban me if you will. I feel like scum. I made plans with Wadds for driving and I was looking at booking hotels in tangent with Damelon and DLB. For both Wadds and myself. I want the elohimfest. I want to geek out with all of you. Maybe this is the karmic punishment for things I have done in my life. Karma has rewarded me handsomely, above and beyond my own dreams in other aspects and maybe this is the time for karma to take back a little. If this is the case then karma sucks right now. I don't know.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

|G for Jenn.

And vent away ... I know the MOD if this forum well. He doesn't mind ;) ... you are justified.

Could you get away for a little part of the weekend? Perhaps fly down Friday and maybe do the dinner with SRD Friday night and fly back Saturday am?

I think Jen said she's catering one of the wedding events. If that's the case I can personally attest that she won't have an opportunity to slip away.

Wow Jenn. That is way sucky. That sucks more than than a room full of crack addicted run aways on the streets of Houston. So depressing i can't even craft a decent crack whore joke.

Well, clearly we have a marriage to break up. WHO'S WITH ME!!!??

I was telling Paul about Elohimfest, knowing he was going to tell me "no way..."

All I can say after our conversation is Image

He said I deserve a trip to myself, and that he thinks we can budget $150.00 towards it. It's not enough to get me there, stay, and come back, but I was so shocked by his answer!

!!Jenn!!
(Too, too bad. You have to stop saying it sucks, tho. It's your friends. They're getting married. You want to be mad inside while they're doing that?!?! No way! And there's still the wrap party -- you're the star, they can't take that away. You should be telling Terry and David, see how much I love you guys? :wink: )

Thanks, danlo.

Yay, Menolly.

I'm so sorry Jenn. I got your message this morning. :( I understand how frustrated you must be... but there's always the FBH party! I'll SO be there for that, and hopefully others will be able to make it up as well??

Don't cry :'( That makes me sad. There WILL be other Elohimfests!

That said, w/o Jenn to keep me company on the way back, I'd rather not do the road trip. I guess I'll check out hotel/airline packages. At least that way I don't have to take as much vacation time off work.

I'm so so sorry Jenn :( It'll suck not having you there. BUT, like Wayfriend said, they're your friends!! They're getting married!! Woooo!!!! Booze it up, baby! ;)

Edit: Yay Menolly!!!

Thanks all.

It doesn't mean I'm coming though. $150.00 will get me to Denver's airport, and then I'll be stuck there broke and with no return ticket.

Just to clarify. It only sucks that I will miss out on Elohimfest and meeting you peops. It doesn't suck that Terry and David are getting married. I am excited about that too. Some of you guys are gonna have to be responsible for taking LOTS of pics etc. I demand it. Menolly, I had started to put aside some monies for Elohimfest so I could make a donation to your cause. I would be thrilled to do it. If I can't make it at least I would have the joy of helping another fine watcher to be there.

Damelon: Yay, thanks! Looking forward to it! I'm happy to chip in for gas, etc., of course. Batty is kind of interested in coming along, so you may have another rider, too. Younger Daughter probably won't come -- she seems more interested in having the house to herself. :lol: I'll pm you.

Jenn: NOOOOOO!!!!! Total bummer. Maybe we can rig up a streaming-video thing for you and the other Watchers who can't come. Danlo talked about it last time but I think there were technology issues.

Menolly: Looks like we can get you to/from Denver, and I've still got that tent....

Dates and time of people arriving in and leaving from Denver please?

I already replied to Jenn's offer in PM. Basically, I don't want one person to try to fund my going on their own. I would love to go, but my karma would wonder what I can do to pay Jenn back. Whereas, if several Watchers chipped in, I guess I wouldn't feel quite so beholden to one person.

I know, I know. My own mishigosh is interfering again.

:::besides, I really am planning on asking if anyone is willing to help send Beorn to camp again this year:::

This is a rough schedule.

I haven't bought tickets yet, I'm waiting for my tax refund which should come any day, but I will arrive in Denver on Thursday May 31st.

I plan on taking a mid morning flight from Chicago, and intend to go to the St. Louis - Colorado baseball game that night. I haven't decided on a place to stay yet.

We'll drive down, starting at a mid morning time on Friday - it's about a 6 hr drive.

I'd like to get there between 3 - 6 pm on Friday.


On the return, I'm planning a Monday flight back from Denver. Time dependent, right now, on anyone else's plans.

I'll hope to get more detailed in a couple of days.

Menolly, others have volunteered to help your cause as well and I want you to know just the joy of knowing that we can help you go and have a wonderful time is karmic payment enough, my friend. I am officially assigning you the job of representing for me! I also expect a full detailed report after the fest is over!

Ack!

So, if I fly in Thursday to Denver, I have to figure out accomodations for overnight? I need to check fares for Friday and see if they jump up significantly.

But it looks likes I may get there, thanks to all of you.

So, if danlo and family permit, what should I plan on cooking for everyone? Creme Brulee French Toast Casserole for Saturday or Sunday morning anyone? ;)

Menolly, I'd be happy to help you so that you can attend. I only ask that for at least 12 hours, either on Saturday or Sunday of E'fest 2007, you must wear this shirt, which I will provide:

I had one of those Jerseys. Fortunately, it got eaten up by a Gator!
