Lmao the fuck is that all about I wanna see y'all I really do but the people I haven't met yet are callin' ass. And for good reason money's too tight

Whoever wants to split the cost of a room with me, if it helps out i'd be willing to do that

I just moved to and out of SF but still in the Bay Area so I guess I will try to make it. Just learned about it from SOSGemini

I guess I will try?

Muse2NoPharaoh said:

Doesn't matter Ren. Alot of people showed their ass, and I wont be attending it seems people have more fun being fake than being true to themselves. So nah thanks but no thanks

IAintTheOne said:

No, you gotta come. I hope you aren't talking about me and my middle finger. That was a joke. Ya gotta come.

IAintTheOne said:

It's just an invasion...

IAintTheOne said:

well I am sorry to hear you are having a personal issue with someone. I have no idea what it could have to do with the invasion but hope you can resolve it privately.

evenstar3 said:

Yep, its just gonna be a lot of fun. We dont want no drama.

evenstar3 said:

Yeah, not sure what the rest is about.

I'm really sad that it's looking less and less likely that we can make it.

It's looking less and less likely that I'll make it as well, unfortunately.

One of my best friend's 40th birthday party is the weekend before and it's out of town and I really don't think I'm going to be able to do both. With my Thailand trip in Novemeber my vacation time and travel budget is pretty stretched to the limit.

This is not a "no" yet, but it's not looking very good right now.

:middlefinger:

sosgemini said:

If you remember correctly, I said no from the beginning. I just got caught up in the excitement and I really really want to, I just have to be realistic.

I still want to try to get there for a weekend in the next month or so. I've got some credit on Southwest I need to use up before July. This is just bad timing.

And I'm going to Thailand for FOUR WEEKS. I don't have alot of time off to work with for the rest of the year around that. If I get sick I'm screwed.

CarrieMpls said:

Dan talked you into Thailand for four weeks?

sosgemini said:

I cannot WAIT. I'm gonna take vegetarian thai cooking classes and take yoga classes on some island and do whatever the hell else pleases my fancy for basically an entire month.

Well, that's all fine and dandy but...

Oooooohhhhh, Karen is gonna be pissed.

CarrieMpls said:

I am super jealous.

This is a way better reason for flaking on the invasion than "I had to pay a bunch of lawyers and my kids eat all my food, dammit, I'm starving!"

Stax said:

Well i'd love to be, but no, not at all! I totally get that priorities need to be met and its a financial crunch year,not boom. I personally can't afford to leave the state for the next few years and totally see others are in the same boat. I decided to live debt free 10 years ago now and if I can't pay it in cash, I can't afford it.

(I knew alot of folks added in, as its in their heart to do so but not practical for one reason or other. Carries exploits were planned before this was thought of. There's a whole lot of us on the local side of Northern and Southern and that will be a decent size group too!)

Muse2NoPharaoh said:

I know, hon. I was only playin'. I too understand the priorities and they make a lot of sense to me.

It just means Org Invasion Oakland 2011!

I'm in, at least for a couple of hours.

So have y'all decided what we'll be doing each day?! That info may be on facebook but I'm still a facebook refusenik!

Stax said:

Well, I'm still hoping to be able to make it to both!

sosgemini said:

I guess, but it only means more bridge and tunnelers from SF cramping our style.

Stax said:

I just posted the article on Facebook and said, "If Oakland can do it, so can Stockton". While I think Jerry Brown sucks as a gubernatorial candidate, he was great at motivating/inspiring a new vision for Oakland.

sounds fun
