We just dropped him off at the airport...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

... and I already miss Alty.

[East Coast Hustle]

I'm really bummed I wasn't around for his visit. I was really looking forward to inflicting him on Devil's Point.

[Freeky]

... and I already miss Alty.

I felt the same way.   He's a trip.

[Salty]

I had a great time in AZ and Portland. There's so much going through my head, in addition to the booze. I am so happy that you people are just as awesome as I hoped and more. Portland is the shit. Meanwhile I'm filled with rage about the place I live and pretty much everyone in it. This also just reinforces that there is one (1) reason I'm in that god forsaken place so I better do the best I can for that reason.

I uh, yeah. Fucking shit. It was an awesome time.

[navkat]

Fuck. I need to get on top again so I can get in on the next.

We should start our own annual rave and call it Horrormirth Fest. Mofos needa be bringin instruments and decks and mixers n shit.

[East Coast Hustle]

I'd be stoked to hang out with you, but there aren't enough drugs in the world to get me to go to a rave in my mid-30s. I'd end up being that guy

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I'd be that guy too. I've been that guy.

Alty was like family. He blended into the household like he'd always been here, it was awesome! I am looking forward to a whole week with absolutely no alcohol in it, though. I am totally the jackass who drinks everything because WE'RE HAVING FUN, RIGHT?

I really want to drive up to Alaska when I can afford it, now. I've always wanted to, but now I have an actual reason!

[East Coast Hustle]

It's good that you're giving your liver a rest.

I should be home for pretty much all of April and ECHGF is going to Santa Barbara for a week for a family shindig so I'm'a need a drinking buddy. Sweatpants guy (downstairs neighbor) is cool, but you can't take him out in public, and my buddy BFK that I worked with at Starky's is having a kid so apparently he's not supposed to get drunk and publicly harass idiots or go to strip clubs or any of that fun stuff anymore.

[East Coast Hustle]

ITT I realize that aside from a handful of other Maine ex-pats that I already knew from back in the day, I only have 3 friends in a city I've lived in for over 2 years.

This doesn't count acquaintances that I really like but don't know well enough (hi Net and EOT!), I'm talking about "hey, I had a shit day and need someone to drink with/creatively vandalize things with/pick me up after I make bail" friends.

Well shit, let's fucking vandalize this town! Maybe we can even get the elusive E.O.T. to come out with us.

What's weird about this is that I know so many people that you should know. As in, if you met them you would love each other. We need to make this happen.

Yeah, Alty seemed like an old friend when I met him IRL for the first time. I'm going to have to figure out how to get up to Alaska...

We need to do something about that.

[East Coast Hustle]

We sure do. This will be the first time since we ended our layoff last July that I'll be home for more than a week or two AND we've worked enough the last few months that I've got some loot banked up so I'll have both time and means to actually enjoy my city and hopefully some of the people that live there for the first time in a long while.

It's something about Portland geography which does this. I've been living west-side (mostly to get the kid into a good school-therapy program), but it means I rarely see people who live "in Portland". Which is stupid, but Portland has it's own weird tangle of networks...



My birthday is on the 22nd, and Johnny Brainwash is celebrating his on April Fools.. just to throw a few upcoming events out there.

When are you in town, ECH?

[East Coast Hustle]

I should be home on the 21st of this month, and not going back to work until sometime in early May assuming we don't pick up another contract in the meantime.
