Day of Discord: Providence/Boston

[PopeTom]

Things like this are why I'm starting to hate my career.

Nice to see that you pantywaists are still afraid to ever come to Maine, even though I've promised that I'll keep the chupacabras at bay for a few hours.

I'll be in Maine for 4th of July weekend. :P


IT WAS FUN TO SEE/MEET ALL OF YOU even though I was barely there and the strange homeless man (who introduced himself to me as September) creeped the fuck out of me. 

September showed up at Xmortis that night too.  Though I don't think he entered the venue, just hung outside bumming cigarettes.
Some of my friends remembered who he was.  It seems that once upon a time he was chased of of the greater Boston area (if not the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) for being really really annoying.

SRSLY.  In addition to the normal meetup fun, it was awesome to meet Dok in the flesh.  He didn't expect a nonstop manic spree of WEIRD, we dodn't expect it of him, but we fell into it now and again.  He's a gracious guest too and was fine with shooting the shit and gaming as much as the rolling around seeing sites, or the weird, when it happened.  (We watched a bar fade form yankee to America to Tucson voer the course of several hours.)

Boston was a 10 hour streak of lulz on my brain.  Goddamn.
I'm left with one hell of a reading list, a bunch of pictures to upload,  horrible SCIENCE to commit, and a bunch of crazy experiences for the trouble. 

Well worth it all.  Shit's going down again next year.
 

Roger commenting on the ambiguity of "Jesus saves from Hell" was hilarious. It was great to meet him too, since he came all the way from Arizona. The coolest thing though was that even though I am a noob, he was the first to recognize and greet me. I'm a bit shy around new people, so my regret is that the night didn't go on longer, since it would have gotten me more talkative (as I'm sure Pope Tom,  and on a different occasion, dimo and LMNO can attest). But it was definitely cool to put some faces to names (recognized others from pics posted here, like Suu, Roger and Cram). I think I've run into a great group of people here, and I appreciate the opportunity to have met some of you IRL.

I'll be working, obviously, but I have wednesdays and thursdays off now so if you're coming up early at all gimme a holler, otherwise you're more than welcome in Castine. I've got spare crash space if you need it.

[Richter]

Dok has confirmed he had made it back safely.  Bad flight arrangement was planned the whole way back, and 4 hour layovers were mentioned.

LMNO and Dok got to meet.  Was cool.


Cram and Cainad arrived, which was also cool.


Then this shit happened.  GodDMANNIT Cram!


I try to photograph everyone at once.  This gives me gas, as you can see.


Cram brought Dok tribute.

Looking cool.


The Captain Morgan

Cramulus, being a professor, professed all the reasons why it was wrong to eat a hot dog with a bun on Friday, not the least of which being that it officially made the Doktor into a Really Real Discordian. Dok's counter-argument remains controversial.




Suu's addiction was fed, undoing months of rehab:




By the end of the day in Boston, things were rapidly going downhill, especially for Cram, once Richter decided to let us know how he felt about the whole sordid affair.




But Dok ended up stealing Richter's frag:





Lulz were had, pance were poomped, and applause for using the Porta-Potty was full and enthusiastic. Richter, if that high-five you gave me afterwards starts to itch, I recommend hand sanitizer.

This is cracking me the hell up

I'd just like to go on record and state that the new Roger 2.0 scares the hell out of me. He looks just as malevolent as the old one but now moar streamlined and agile. I'll bet now he could beat me in a running-away fight

[Cramulus]

The day was not bereft of weirdness..




as we were leaving the bar, we bumped into these two chicks I occasionally hang out with in connecticut. They were browsing for apartments in Boston and encountered us quite randomly. Smalllll fecking world!


the other weird incident was that dude at the park, September.

We just finished coffee, and had headed over to Boston Commons to sit around and annoy people. This dude named September walked up and asked somebody for a cig. He hung around us for the rest of the day, probably bumming 10 cigarettes or so in total. September looks familliar. I am certain I've talked to him at a game convention or something. I think he's one of the "harmless weird", people who are so bizarre that you'd want to keep arms length away, but they're probably not dangerous.

When he first walked up to our circle, he stopped in his tracks. "Are you guys in a LARP or something?"

I laughed and laughed and laughed, "Yes," I said, "You nailed it in on the first guess!"

September was on our wavelength. Later, he was trying to figure out what breed of weird we were. After he heard roger reference the subgenii, he leaned in--

"Do you guys have any flub for sale?" he asked, apparently referencing some subculture lost to me.

"No," I replied, "But we have plenty of fnord for sale."

"Plenty of what?" he asked.

"Fnord," I said.

September looked distressed. "I didn't hear you say anything, and yet I'm filled with anxiousness and paranoia."

[P3nT4gR4m]

Did no one think to take pics of him?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Did no one think to take pics of him?

Not sure. He had glasses and crazy hair.

Now that I think of it, I think that I've seen him at shows around Boston and Cambridge.

[Doktor Howl]

Had an excellent time, I wrote up a few things, such as Suu's horrendous bender (  ), etc.  Will post tonight and tomorrow, as there is a fucking DISASTER at work that was allowed to grow while I was gone.

Will be too busy to post in the daytime for today and probably tomorrow.

[Suu]

Seriously. It was an awesome drunk. I never want to do it again.

[LMNO]

I have to say, it was a real pleasure to meet Dok.  He might have his "GO" switch duct-taped in the "on" position, but I haven't met a nicer guy in quite a long time.

Here's to ya, Dok.  You are a mensch among monkeys.

[Eater of Clowns]

Decor and fries hint to me that this was Spike's Junkyard Dogs?  Mmm.

And yeah, damn, still upset to have missed the big day.  Nonetheless had some fun the day before at Suu's establishment.

I was on my best behavior.  Richter threatened to put the leeches on me.
