Tea, are you really going to be there? I thought you were just joking, but I'll be seriously stoked about this if you're going to be there too. How cool!

If you could maybe get from Beloit to Tom and Christy's in Madison, and Christy is coming to the Ohio gathering then we could get you to the Ohio signing. If not you'd have to get into Chicago but I could take you from there.

Yeah, I was definately thinking about it. Oddly enough, I talked to a friend today who works for Delta Airlines, he told me that for working there he gets free flights. I jokingly asked him if he could hook me up, and he said he'd check into it.
Even if he can't, I'm still looking into it. My sister got to go to Europe 3 times because she was in the Drill Team, and my parents helped pay for it. Since I am paying for it myself, AND I'm 18, AND they never once paid for me to go anywhere (a little bitter here, can't ya tell), I'm pretty sure after reminding them of that, they'll have no objections.
But don't make it official. I'm just seriously looking into it.

Thanks, Shig. It would be mondo fun to take a trip out there, assuming I can afford it. I'm trying to work out budgets for things (mainly because I'm trying not to rely on parents for money... ever). Mainly the two things I am trying to budget are Mission and WenchCon, but if some extra dough happens to come my way... Posts: 9754 | Registered: Jul 2002

I won't deny sitting in my hot tub at nights, figuring out that if I was handed 100,000 dollars, I'd go on a road trip to each state and visit as many Jatraqueros as I can.
And then...
THE INTERNATIONAL JATRAQUEROS!!!
Me and Annie, Touring Switzerland (hey, she offered) Troubs, EG, and Me, on a wild hunting trip in New Zealand. Me and Jebus, doing.. jebus-y things... in... wherever the heck he lives in Ireland. Kama and Myself, doing... who cares, I'd be with Kama.
AND MANY MORE!!
Oh, and I'd probably buy some Leiderhosen, also. But that goes without saying.
-----
But, to be perfectly honest, percieving what I think to be God's infinite sense of humor, I'll be sent to Portland anyway on my Mission (or some other Jatraquero filled mission area). So when I knock on your door, you better feed me. Or at least say hi. Or at least don't sic dogs after me.
(PS, I have a Cousin serving near Greensboro, one in Jacksonville this upcoming December, one that just got off from Dallas, a friend in Birmingham, and more cousins along the east coast).

Orange Jello with manderin oranges, yes. Cherry with manderin oranges, yes. Lime with manderin oranges, acceptable.
The line of progress goes like this:
Lime with Pineapple- Lime with Grapes- Orange with Manderin Oranges- Lime- Cherry with Manderin Oranges- Orange- Cherry- Lime with Manderin Oranges- Lime with Banana's-
And so forth and so forth until you hit the bottom of the chain:
Blue jello. Blue jello with anything.

Recalling one of the picnics, I do believe that's the recipe of Jon's moms Jello salad. Only, I think he used Lemon Jello instead.

I talked with my Team Leader at work yesterday. She said she'd work it so that I can have that weekend off.
And the plan has been set in motion... The pieces are moving...
Ok, if I can make some good solid plans for that weekend of what I'd be doing there, you can expect me to be there.

Annie or Shan, if you don't mind air mattresses, and 3 teenage boys running around you are welcome to stay here if motel rooms turn out to be expensive.

Narnia, you are way cool! Thanks for the offer - I'll be checking into prices this weekend, but air mattresses sound just fine, too!

Portland's not the easiest town to be driving in, either. I think I scared Bees a few times during last January's (?) get-together - and I wasn't even trying to !
Keeping track of what's one-way or two-way streets, whilst looking for street names and landmarks, with a child jabbering in the back seat about mama getting everyone lost - I have only EVER done that once , when he was five but he WILL remember it and tell everyone without the least compunction -
bad combo.
However, we made it to all of our destinations alive and well! And had a fine time! Posts: 5609 | Registered: Jan 2003

Zotto, you know the drill. If you need rides or anything just call me. I'm so excited that you're here for this too!! WOOHOO! Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Shan Jeni Narnia Annie Ralphie Frisco??? Are you coming?? Zotto T_Smith?(did you get your tickets?) Nato Shigosei Jonny and maybe someone else special if he gets his tickets tonight... Did I forget anyone? Khavanon? What about you?
So. Folks. What's going on??? We're planning on the evening signing for tons of fun-filled mingling and book shopping. For Saturday during the day, I was thinking of Saturday's Market, then lunch, more shopping?? What do you guys think?
Friday night is a fun night too. I'd love for us to get together. Nathan is going to be in as well as Annie(and possibly someone else) so we need to maximize on our fun time. One thing to consider. We're hosting possibly the largest gathering of freshmen in college in hatrack history. We definitely have to go places where all ages can hang out. Ideas for Friday night, Saturday day and afternoon anyone?
I'm really looking forward to this weekend, it'll be like a mini vacation for me!!

What we could do...hmmm, guess bars and drinking are right out. We could... ...have food fights. Lots of Jell-O with fruit in it, chocolate cake, and cream pies. ...play football,soccer, some sport. It always seems to work for those TV families. Works best if it's outside and muddy. ...eat. We will probably get hungry somewhere in there. Maybe someone who lives in the Portland area should make a note of some restaurants to go feast at.
Hmmm, this is tought 'cuz I don't know what there is to do in Portland.
