News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Apologies to everyone who lives further away/who generally doesn't give a fuck. Once we have a list of potential event attendees we'll move the discussion to PM and quit cluttering up the board. Thank you for your patience.

Ahem.

Would all the local spags who are interested in converging on Providence on Saturday, July 14 post their intentions here? This outing will revolve around our group descending on local bistros (bistri?) and pretending to be some sort of French. For the record, proper personal hygiene is still mandatory. Otherwise we're still working out the details and welcome any creative input. If we're really lucky, Richter will be able incorporate this meatup into a bachelor party for one of his friends. Warning: side effects may include wine, women and song. Though I sincerely hope I'm not the only one who knows some of La Marseillaise, I can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Anyway, who thinks they'll be showing up?

Understandable. Hmm...we could always start with snooty coffee bars in the morning, and work our way up from there...Would that be enough reason for you to trek to Providence, even if you weren't around for the whole event?

That sucks, but happy birthday to whoever is being celebrated! Also, I'm reasonably sure we'll find another excuse for a meetup before September, (yes, that is a threat aimed at the rest of you local types) so with luck we'll catch up with you at some point.

Les toges tricolores? This can't possibly end well. Though it might be vaguely thematic if the bachelor party scenario plays out.

Just try not to get us arrested, 'kay?

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
