Soon....

Working through the details as we speak... photo checks and the like..

I am off for a few hours but a good part of it will be up tonight... the rest of the specialties shortly to follow

The picture demise of Anx will be ongoing....

Cheers!

I took no picture this year so...

Endorphin74 and CarrieMpls - You put together a great shindig. Thanks so much for the initiative. I'm sure everyone had a fantastic time. This would not have come together the way it did were it not for the two of you. Cheers!

Muse - always a pleasure. You're lovely, beautiful and fun. The only woman who can get away with touching my ass.

Anx - you make me laugh, and I loved watching you dance (I especially got a kick out of seeing you run to the dancefloor when Pussy Control started). Good seeing you as always!

HeretoRockYourWorld - you're all smiles and always pleasant. I'm glad you've been able to make it each year.

MadArtista - did you ever stop dancing? Damn.

EllieAdore and ElectroStar - I'm pretty much confined to one forum here, so I that I'd never had the occasion to interact with you on here. What a surprise! So very sweet and into every minute of the craziness. I'm glad I got to meet the two of you. I don't know how either of you had the energy to dance as much as you did.

Brownsugar - You are as sweet as can be, and I'm so glad you made it! I hope I see you 'round here again.

Hiinenkeelllttee - I can't even attempt to spell that. It seems you have a reputation in the P&R forum? I never would have guessed. Always an unassuming, gracious and engaging fellow.

Funkmistress - off the plane at 11:00 PM, to the dancefloor, luggage in tow...and off she went. Girl, you are wild! Thanks for the biiiiig hugs.

MinneapolisGenius - I think you know I love you, and I'm sorry what was meant as an unsuspecting observation turned out to be the "most embarrassing moment of [your] life." That was not my intention. I'll see you again in a few days.

Violett - I don't see you enough. I'm always laughing when I do see you.

HandClapsDejaFingaz - Always a pleasure. The fro's still comin' along nicely.

McD - keep that "obsession" in check. I didn't expect to spend so much time with you, but I'm so glad I did and glad I had so much time for movie and music talk with you. Hope the rest of your trek is a blast.

Eskomokisses - awwwww. What a precious one she is, and you're a beautiful mommie! Glad you made it up...down...wherever it is you come from to get here.

TMPletz - I wish you could have hung around more. I barely said anything besides, "Nice to meet you...this one thinks Star Wars is awful...where you off to next?" Maybe next time, because you're as nice as can be!

Stymie - The best word to describe how I feel about you is "comfortable." You make me feel good about being myself, and you make me laugh HARD. I love ya, toots!

theAudience - I enjoyed everyone's company and was sad to see everyone go, but I was especially after dropping you off. I'm glad I finally got a chance to spend time with you in person. You're every bit as kind, fun and knowledgeable as I knew you'd be. I'm so very thankful for the experience. I was glad to act as your chaperone, so don't even think of thanking me anymore!

Next year - this prematurely aged old man wants an early afternoon teatime. I can't hang with you party kids. You wear me out!

Anx said:

OMG!!!

Love it!

So, I just got back from dropping Ellie and Jon back at their hotel and Darin off at home after our trip to the Mall of America and Paisley Park.

It really is over.

The picture wars have begun!

CarrieMpls said:

can you believe it?



I'm off to drop off my film.

hugs to all of you who had such rotten luck with travel last nite! I'm hoping that bad streak has ended for the remaining people!

I have made so many typos trying to make this little post. This kitty is FUCKIN spent. I'll get myself together and then be back

TommyRoss said:

Love you too.

And yes, I still can't get over it.

But I guess if I'm going to have one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, it's fitting that it happened in front of a bunch of orgers! I'm just pissed that no one told me earlier. It's on par with having toilet paper stuck to your shoe, or worse, tucking your skirt into your tights. I didn't do THAT as well did I?

I SHOULD do one of those long orger-by-orger appreciation posts, but as always I'm too lazy right now.

But everyone should know that I had the time of my life and had a blast! Everyone was beyond cool and it was a great time all around. I didn't even want to leave, even though it was after 4 a.m.

This is the first time I've ever used the "group hug" emoticon, but I have to use it now:






oh, but a special for tA though.

I think my post above was a jinx. I just heard from Anx and his flight is delayed.

I'm taking this as a sign that you crazy fuckers should all just STAY in MPLS

i'd like to take this time to let everybody know how darin twisted my arm, put a gun to my head and told me to do a lemondrop shot i couldn't resist his charm!

endorphin74 said:

seriously! that apartment we walked by yesterday...ya'll know you wanna move there.

i don't have any pix, but i got some thank yous n'such:

stymie, The Mistress and brownsugar: HOT TUB! and 3 words: best. hotel roommates. ev-errrrr. i had a ball while being held hostage spending the weekend at the marriott with ya'll. there was never a dull moment in room 1409...thanks to the three of you. oh yeah--and thanx to The Mistress for making my stubborn ass get up and dance at the bolt, even though it was for one song.

madartista: you're probably still dancing yer ass off as you read this.

willy wonka: the hat full of candy you left at the herkimer was the sweetest thing (no pun intended) ever. and thanks to you, you helped me break my pixy stix fast; i hadn't eaten any in ages. you rock!

eskomo & babykisses: gretch, i totally forgot to bring along the ad from the bolt on saturday like i promised. i'll mail it to you this week, if you haven't gotten it from anyone else. and jenna's an absolute doll!

ripher2tommyross (hehehe): it was cool seeing/talking to you again. damn, you live fairly close to me and yet i never run into you downtown...

theAudience: finally, i got to meet you...damn, you're cool! thanks for the copies of sampled (i immediately ripped 'em all to my computer so i can listen to the whole thing on my ipod while i'm at work)...and i coulda sworn i seen you rappelling past the window at the hotel i was at, camera in hand. too bad the majority of the footage you got was of us all dead asleep.

anxy: i want the t-shirt you had on at the bolt, that was fuckin awesome! and don't worry about always getting caught all alone in darin's living room by yourself, glued to the teevee set and watching "jughead" with uncontrollable glee. as always, it was awesome to see you.



...more to come...

I live downtown and I never really go downtown. I run through it on my jog all the time.

Here's a preview of a little photo project I undertook on Saturday night during the Invasion:



Ladies and gentlemen, the Blue Light Special has arrived!
