It’s that time of year again. Time to toil at the hard summertime labors of our joint venture together, perfecting the blown-eyed gathering. The date, for those of you not paying attention, is JUNE 27th – 29th. Known to freedom lovers everywhere as the weekend before the Fourth of July. Accommodations are getting way tight. If you are interested in attending, leave a comment with your email address and I will get right to you with a response.
Housekeeping Note #1: Anyone who knows me knows we must be speaking of absolute absurdity if I’m in any sort of charge of the housekeeping.
Housekeeping Note #2: Paul, wow. Thank You. I’m pretty sure that was the nicest comment I’ve ever received in blodge land (Bob was right). I tried to write you but the email bounced back undeliverable. Drop me an email to SuperGurl (at) supergurl.net and I’ll send it on. Until then, consider taking the obvious next step in what will no doubt be an extended relationship with the Blown Eyes, come to a blog meet. It’s practically a recovery session for GOC readers anyway. Kerrcarto and Charlie Delta are coming (Can I get a HELL YEAH on this year’s long distance lurk contingent?). I know you want to. And check that river? Pretty nice even if the people sucked. That goes for all you coded-out non responders. We want to see your smiling faces in Texas.
Housekeeping Note #3: Leslie, Omnibabe, my beautiful soul sister. I got your surprise in the mail and I’m wearing them right now. Honey, you shouldn’t have, it’s too much, they are beautiful. But thank you, I’m so glad you did, and I couldn’t have picked anything more me if I tried. Love You. Now, look both ways before you cross the street. I mean it, you belong to me.
Housekeeping Note #4: Jim, Jimbo, Jambalaya. I gave your denials serious thought but I think I may have you beat this round. I have your daughter, Jim. That’s right, Twisty. If you ever want to see your little girl smile again, see her light up like she hasn’t since that summer in Austin, I suggest you book some flights and bring your guitar. Free Twisty, Jim, you didn’t raise her to be just another victim of the ugly New Jersey tax structure, a slave to industry. Did you? What the heck are you working so hard for anyway? FREE TWISTY! You just might free yourself in the process. Try.
Housekeeping Note #5: No Pets Allowed. I am sorry. I am a dog person myself. But they have just remodeled the property, new carpet, new everything, they were adamant. No pets. I hope this isn’t a dealbreaker for anybody.

Can’t wait to see everybody, and to meet the new ones.

Maybe I will win the Mega-Millions before then….please pray that I do…it’s positively making me heartsick that I can’t go.

That place looks pretty damn fun. What? CD and kerrcato are going??!!! Is Denny going, too? Perhaps it is time that I get out and meet my long-time cyberbuddies and meet some new ones. I’m assuming this super-gathering is in Texas? Always a nice time when I visit my homeland.

Well, I did mention the blogmeet on the Guadalupe in July and the Jolly Roger said, “Texas in July? WTF? Was the sun sold out?”
:sigh: you can see what I’m up against here.

joan, i already spoke my piece by email but i forgot: the meet is over in june, the serious treachery comes in mid August. that’s when we’ve usually put together sixty or so consecutive days above 100. end of june is hot, no question, but it definitely gets worse.
