Me (Lies) "jimmying" the damn TV so we could watch Santiago popmart.....two nites in a row! oh, and the sign on the wall from when Gina greeted us at the train station "Don't let the bastards hoe you down!"
BWAHAHAHA! Oh, that is fabulous. Loveth photos, girls! Yeah, so I'm still waiting for the hotel to call me and be like, "Um, so did you jimmy the TV in your room ... and put it back together using delicious chocolatey Kit-kat wrappers?" LOL!
By the way, although I wasn't actually there for the presentation of the poster to Julio, I can begin the Julio story. (Shannon, you might want to cover your eyes -- the story is about to be told again.
)
When we girls first arrived at the hotel on Friday afternoon, it was way before check-in time. However, we had ten tons of luggage, so there wasn't much else we could do around town. We set down all of our crap, busted out photos and presents and Pants and sticks and picks and CBB and sock puppets and U2 comic books ... and proceeded to engage in much chatting and laughing and general PLEBA-ness. Meanwhile, Julio, the bellboy, had seen the U2 members on various t-shirts and was all excited. He was like, "U2??" He wanted to know if we were in town to see them that weekend (Dude, we WISHED), etc. I told him we were sort of there for a convention.
Julio: "Really? Where is it??"
Me: "Here..." [thinking: "No, no, dude, you
sooooo don't understand..."]
So , although I imagine we were entertaining and/or frightening anyone in the general vicinity, we sort of managed to forget about Julio. Kristie had busted out SockAdam and SockLarry, and we were having fun dressing them, etc. Picture the scene:
Laura: *holding The Pants in her lap* (I
think she had them)
Me: *absently stroking Larry's stick*
Kristie and Gina: *holding naked SockAdam and SockLarry dressed in Adam's clothes, with Adam's fro and cigarette*
*having them greet each other in Sockvoices*
Lies, Ellen, Laura, and I: *giggling like lunatics at Sockpuppets*
We all suddenly become aware of the fact that...
Julio: *is standing about 2 feet away from the couch, watching us*
*sees fro on SockLarry*
asks: "Is that Adam?"
Us: *collectively die*
Seriously, we were cracking up, writhing around on the couches and chairs laughing hysterically in a combination of mirth and shame ... and Julio just stood there and kept watching us, grinning.
So that's the beginning of the Julio story. Kristie has already explained the rest of it.
(actually more innocent than it sounds...her hand was getting hot from wearing sock-puppet Adam and she was blowing air on it to cool it off. Still....)
