Plan is thus far, Richter will be getting you from the airport. If he can't for whatever reason, the busline from TF Green TF Green TF Green goes right by my apartment.
However, my manager has made it perfectly clear she either hates me or is incapable of paying attention to my availability, so there's a chance I will have a total of ONE day off the whole time you're here. :|

Yes. When Roger died he passed it on to Payne, who passed it on to Pixie. This is why our weather has been exceptionally miserable lately, poor thing.
Ahh, got it.
I kept the Board-wide Spiritual Advisor gig though.
are there concrete dates for this yet? I neet to know ASAP if I'm going to try to get irregular days off.
Unless, of course, you spags are actually going to brave the wild northlands and come for a visit.

June 9-14, and I think their weekend is taken. I am to be whisked off to some reenactment where I will be subjected to rubes eating mud pies, and jackasses walking around in Klingon outfits.
Heh. That's Mrs LMNO's birthday week, and we will be down on the cape for the PTown Indepenent Film Fest Late Spring Gayness Festival.
Whoops.
Goddammit.
Yeah. :sad:
Well, that's pretty much everyone cancelled except Richter and (somewhat) Suu.
Yay.
Hold on a sec...

That'll work. Friday is probably best, as I will be arriving on Wednesday afternoon, with all the inevitable chaos associated with it.
All right. I'll see what's going down with the Mrs, and try to connect with y'all.

Unfortunately, Lizzay will not be making it. :(
And of course you get Herb in the package deal with staying at the Monastery. So the probability of pork shoulder is high.
I could only skim this because I'm hijacking a computer in CA, but if you're free that Thursday I could head down to Providence before work.

Will be free, I think. Richter and Suu are both working, and I was planning on amusing myself for the first half of the day. This should make things easier.
The only bummer here is that I was kind of hoping to have at least one day as a group where we could go nuts, but you can't have everything.

Chances are he'll be working a lot. Thursday night is also fight practice. Hehehe...

I suggest we take in the train too. For added lulz.
Shit yeah.
I am incredibly excited about this! WOOT WOOT!!! The only question I have is how much $$$$ will I need for all these shenanigans? I have a bit of money frommy tuition rebate check, but a lot of it needs to go to getting my lisence back. I would like to participate in as many activities as possible, I just need to make sure I have the cash for it.

Not much $$$. I asked Richter not to make too many plans that involve everyone spending money, as times are tight for most folks. I want to run into you guys, but I don't want everyone spending themselves into the ground.

Lunch is a certainty. If you can be in Copley Sq around noonish, I can totally hook up. After work depends on if I can convince Mrs LMNO to meet new people.
The purpleline is 15 bucks roundtrip to Boston from Providence.

I'll come and pick you up if we need. (Your option to designate a pickup / drop off point so we don't discover where your house is to come and whisper horrible things outside your window at night.) Otherwise figure 9 AM in Providence. PM me if you need to name a locale or get my address.

Hard hats optional.
Also, everyone, I'm thinking Indian food, but I'm not locked into that.
Rough estimate, may go later, but depends on the trains and when we want to be in Boston.
This is all starting June 9,10, and so forth.
Bukowski's. I can't think of a better place to bring you.
I thought the Dok don't drink?
Hey, out of curiosity, how many of us are leaving from Providence? I may be able to get us up there without having to take the train. We'd have to take it back, but...

THIS.
But I also need the address of a decent Indian joint, for when you guys are all at work.
On the plus side, I'll totally drop a nuke in Herbert's toilet.
We've got a place off India Point with one HELL of a buffet. There's also the joint nearby, but the quality is about the same for higher price.
Bombay Club is RIGHT next door. It's good, but kinda pricey. I'd recommend Taste of India on Wickenden for the buffet.
...Also Richter and I took plenty of turns breaking that toilet. I guess it's only fitting you're next.

You have to remember, I am relatively new to this whole "real food" thing.

In that case, when we go to Boston, we're going to the North End. You need a right proper cannoli.
I'm getting off the Edinburgh airport that friday morning, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to Providence.

In that area, TC's Pub is the closest you'll get to seedy. But I shan't argue, being both a hipster and a beer snob.

True...but it's still kinda divey. It's not like I'm going to be epic fail and take him to Dick's Last Resort, because that's not like it used to be. I also know of a divey pub downtown on Kingston, but finding a place that has a food menu is ideal, since he doesn't drink, but the atmosphere is key.
...Never been to TC's. Is it everything I could hope for and more?
Dank, dark, cheap beer, posters of 1980's pinups on the ceiling, Big Buck Hunter, and a fairly good jukebox. Just off of Mass Ave, across from Berklee.

I must agree with LMNO regarding TC's over Bukowski's. TC's is a goddam dive in the pure sense, with a surprisingly decent beer selection for those interested.
What time are the Boston shenanigans happening on the 11th? Depending on timing I should be able to make it out and about after work (post-6PM) to revel in the madness. Otherwise I must only bask in the reflected glow of awesome.
"This place is a straight dump staff is very rude and not helpful"
YES. THIS.
I know I can hang for lunch in Copley (which includes TC's).
For later that evening, I still have to rope Mrs LMNO into it, but we can go anywhere in the city.
Too bad I'll be in Santa Fe during the whole thing. :cry:
Can't even see Dok when I'm out there, because he'll be out east.

-nothing like a tranny dive bar, I swear.
It's also a tragedy that you're not coming a week earlier, or you'd be invited up to Tommy Guns' family camp, which is on an island in the middle of a remote lake in the hinterlands of west-central Maine. It's an entire weekend of shooting things and eating whatever you shoot (and I mean WHATEVER you shoot) and terrorizing the fancy-pants summer cabins on the south end of the lake. Also we tend to drink way too much whiskey and find things to jump off of. And all the dumb shit we do is covered for by the fact that one of the core members of the clique is a County Sheriff who isn't afraid to let the terrorized citizens know that no matter what retarded shit we're doing, "it's OK, I'm a cop."

I'm okay with hipsters and beer snobs. Oh, yes, I'm just fine with them.
They don't cotton to me, much, for some reason.
Yeah, but:
If you want to fuck with people who live off the ignorance of HORRIBLE TROOF, there are better places to go than Bukowski's.
And if you want to revel in the seediness, there are, once again, better places to go than Bukowski's.
But if you want a decent beer in a place that tries to eschew upper class pretension, then Bukowski's is pretty good.
Since you don't drink, and haven't specifically requested the scene where the Blues Brothers recruit Mr. Fabulous, then TC's "Lounge" is the best choice.
I kinda wish the band was playing one of these nights. We normally get booked at real seedy dives, and there's usually chaos in the crowd of weirdos. Oh, well...
At least Providence is one big dive.

I got really nervous thinking about this the other night. I mean, going to meet up with complete strangers that I met on some "cult" website. What would my friends and family think? After I got over that, all I could think about is me saying something stupid and embarassing myself. God, I'm a really little fish in this pond, and I'm not entirely used to that feeling, because where I usually hang out, I'm the Kraken.

Srsly. We're talking about a group of people that even an asshat like me can hang out with (more than once!), and not one of them has punched me in the face yet. Pretty damn easy to get along with, IMO, although I can't speak for Dok :lol: .
I've had nothing but a horrible time meeting with people from this site. Suu introduced herself by taking measurements and muttering things about what a nice mannequin I would make. Dimo dragged me into mosh pit happenings and stepped on my arms, Richter repeatedly slapped me with a glove to provoke a duel. GS was the worst, he just stared. And stared. It took three weeks for me to be able to close my eyes without seeing it. Lizzie dragged me through seedy parts of San Francisco, at one point even making me use a McDonald's restroom, until I took an opportunity at a red light to flee into the subway system. I can't begin to describe what happened there, and even if I could it has little to do with the meeting.
And the first time we met Cainad, Richter and I gave him a glass jar and Crisco.

Yep, I still have 'em. :lulz:
That reminds me, I also managed to avoid getting locked in the basement.

I had nothing to do with the latter. But I did in fact scoop out the shortening for your use.

I've had nothing but a horrible time meeting with people from this site. Suu introduced herself by taking measurements and muttering things about what a nice mannequin I would make. Dimo dragged me into mosh pit happenings and stepped on my arms, Richter repeatedly slapped me with a glove to provoke a duel. GS was the worst, he just stared. And stared.

Well, when you put it that way...
Those are all pretty standard East Coast greetings though. ESPECIALLY in Providence.
Fuck. We need a pineapple.
My greatest fear is that everyone will suddenly realize how utterly boring I am.
...I mean, more boring. The dull stuff you see on this website is only the tip of a truly mundane iceberg that will sink the party cruise called "Titanic" just before the hot chick gets naked.

Bring down the big one over Atwells.
somebody remind my gin-saturated brain what the dates on this are again?
I think he shows up in Boston on June 9.
He's arriving on 1 Ix 7 Zotz. Boston lunchtime arrival-ish the Friday after.
Aka. He arrives in PROVIDENCE on the 9th. We'll be in Boston the 11th.
So what's happening on the 9th and 10th? Anything fun?
You're welcome to keep him company on the 10th. Richter and I have to work.

I think he enjoys boxing.

I'll figure out something.
I have determined that the earliest I can make it there (Boston) is about 10:30 AM.
Speaking of which, where exactly is "there"? As in, where should I head for first to meet up with you spags?
Considering proximity to LMNO for lunch, I would assume Back Bay Station.
Also, my schedule is as follows, HOWEVER, I got totally shafted for hours this week, so I desperately need to make money. I may pick up a Friday night shift. I don't have a choice. I need to eat, and my manager is a cunt who ignored my requests and hired her friends and gave them all the good shifts. So I had to do some switcharoo to even get to fight practice this week when she KNOWS that I can't work Monday and Thursday nights...because I have to remind her 24 year old holier-than-thou ass every fucking week. This also means that my funds will be at a minimum as well.
Wednesday: Out at 6
Thursday: Out at 5, Fencing til 10.
Friday: Off, may go in at 6.
Saturday: Out at 5, may vie for a double.
Sunday: Off, intend to pick up shift.

Like I said I have that Thursday free until work, so I'll see if I can swing down that area as well.

What time do you land, Dok?

Any earlier and you're stuck there. I mean, I COULD tell you what bus to take downtown and up the hill to see me at work if you're not totally afraid of public transportation.

Jesus, I'm trying to not show up at midnight.
And like I just told you on the phone, we can do midnight. It's during the day that's a bitch.
For the record, I may not have transport, but I do have means of getting transport if you need anything. Just try to let me know ahead of time if you do, so I can make arrangements.
I will have monday and tuesday off. I could drive down sunday night, if anyone is still gonna be hanging out at 3am, but otherwise I'm definitely coming down on monday. Somebody could win my undying allegiance by offering crash space for monday night, or at least a driveway so I can camp out in my truck without fear of being harassed by the local constabulary.
Incidentally, It's PRIDE this weekend! I wonder when the Bear parade is...

YAY!
I've never gone to the Boston Pride Parade, but the Providence weekend is a huge ass PARTY. Last time I went I got drunk and danced with a ton of transsexuals.
Here's the link to the calendar: http://www.bostonpride.org/multicalendar.php

In the ghettoooooo...
I don't go anywhere without it.
Tickets bought, plans finalized...going home to pack.
HEADS UP, BIG GAY COWBOYS!
I have been instructed not too get busted by airport security before picking up Dok.
On the other hand, if I arrive early enough, I should be done with the colon check by the time he de-planes.

If we DON'T get a full body cavity check. I'm going to be disappointed.
"I brought my own lube. Can't that cute girl running the bag check do this?"
T-Minus 10 hours. :tinfoilhat:

BTW: if you're coming along, will you have the time to print out "HIMEOBS" on an 8.5x11" piece of paper as a greeting sign? My ink cartridge crapped out.
If a tidal wave crashes onto Long Island's north shore today, I shall know what happened.
I'm prepping vindaloo in case Dok wants dinner. Avoid the beach for a week or so.
I'm out at 5. I will run home and do it. If not I'll make it here on cardboard.
Torn cardboard and a sharpie on-site FTW. :lulz:
If I get out later i'll meet you there since my house is on the airport line.
Sounds good, I'll TXT before I leave.
I have tomorrow off, my supervisor came through on it when I pointed out people who previously were scheduled off had cancelled. :mrgreen:
Also, chance of Dok needing to crash out on account of a day spent traveling. Let's play things by ear once we meet up.
You come drink beer tomorrow at the Alehouse! :crankey:
T-minus 3 hours. :scared:
The weather is downright New England right now too. :lol:
Dok,
The Kingdom of Mangville* welcomes you!
Please enjoy the following:
Shitty rain and the fact that any building that isn't a house is a Dunkin Donuts.
Trees and our ticks.
Infuriating Bob's Discount Furniture ads on tv.
Newman's Own New England Blend coffee from McDonald's for only a buck.
All the people who think that Florida is the Promised Land.
Grinders.
Chowder.
Red Sox vs Yankees discussion.
Shmooshed up deer carcass on the side of the road.
* A division of NewEnglandCorps.
This weather is fucking raw. And my other server isn't here so I can't leave. Ugh.
:crankey:
Call if lift need.
Rog is here. We ate nuclear vindaloo and now we're watching GS and his friends play a show.

Well yeah. No one likes the pass-by peeking of peeing punk junk.
It's PUNK, man! You're supposed to pee on the band :argh!:
Just more evidence that Punk is Dead.
Back in MY day, the bathrooms in the Rat had the doors taken off so people wouldn't shoot up in there.
:gheyforum:
The place I used to go to only had half a toilet seat. But then again, I don't think anyone really wanted to use that anyway. Also, there were no stall doors, it was pretty bare bones.
For those that are in the area, please feel free to coordinate with Richter and Dimo on the arrival to The Cellar today to harrass me at lunch time.
187 Beers.
Traditional English food.

I DID NOT BEAT THE VINDALOO THIS TIME.
My sphincter. It's a-flame! :horrormirth:
Yeah, if anyone wants to try and meet up you can PM me your number or request mine.
As far as the vindaloo is concerned, it was my first time eating it, and I have to say, whle it was mighty tasty, I did not experience the aftermath. RICHTER! MOAR SPICE! TO THE FUCKNG WALL!!!!!

so a very good friend of mine's dad is in ICU with a bloodclot on his brain and the whole family is up there so I'm dog-and-house-sitting for them. So unless he makes a miracle recovery tomorrow morning, it looks like I won't be making it down to Providence.
He's leaving today at 11 anyway, ECH.
goddammit, I thought he was staying until tuesday. So, I guess I won't introduce the dog to the concept of a road trip.
I'm still coming down there to hang out with you spags sometime soon. my days off are getting switched to wednesday/thursday as of next week. I'm thinking about coming down a few days after the 4th.
Sweet!
