... and I already miss Alty. :(
I'm really bummed I wasn't around for his visit. I was really looking forward to inflicting him on Devil's Point.

I felt the same way. :( He's a trip.
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.
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.
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 :lulz:
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
And you're spot-on about the city's geography in regards to social networking. Anything west of the river might as well be mars to me. I literally go to Seattle more often than I go downtown. And one of my good buddies from maine lives in PDX but I rarely see him because, well, he lives all the way over in St. Johns. :lulz:

True story... we
really don't like to leave our neighborhoods. I don't even like to date people who aren't from my quadrant.
Well it makes sense in my case because I'm fortunate enough to live in Southeast. I don't know what the rest of you guys' excuses are. :lulz:

My excuse is that fuck that, NE is where it's at!
We need to bring back good old-fashioned neighborhood gangs.
I'm down, but I insist on claiming Foster-Powell even though I'm technically 3 blocks too far north, as Richmond just doesn't have the necessary street cred.

SWEET
I claim King. All of it.
We need to have themes. Make it like a middle-aged version of The Warriors.

Since we're the Kings, my gang can wear crowns and purple robes.
Foster-Powell will wear stripper outfits and call ourselves the Gloryholes.

:lulz: That is perfection.
Showdowns have to happen West Side Story-style.
