The Octagon Bar: insomnia before the sale? Come on in...

[ewen]

good morning folks

 

[starsgoblue]

Ewen.....David Hasselhoff?! Come on now...that's just silly.

 

[starsgoblue]

If you were German, I'd understand.

 

[ewen]

is it more perplexing than the stag?

 

[starsgoblue]

Most definetly more perplexing....people might think you have a crush on him.

Although I do admit to having the Knight Rider theme song on my iPod. But I draw the line there.

 

[ewen]

the man is a genius

Rebekah, you know how much this hotel will cost in Philly?

 

[starsgoblue]

Well I have checked a place...the price I got then was about $75. My mother is paying for a room though since I got tickets...

 

[ewen]

i'm sat here with my credit card poised to book a flight but i need to figure out first how long to go over for and costs when i get there.

the other thing is my intense fear of flying. i wonder how feasable it would be to get a boat across! I'm serious, I was getting shakes in bed last night thinking about being in a plane for 8 hours. my longest flight has been 3 hours and that was a nightmare.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Gah, I have to think about a hotel, now, too?

*stresses self out to the max


Should I be drinking heavily right now, or should I wait until after the sale?

 

[starsgoblue]

Ewen, that's what in-flight cocktails are for!

I'm pumping myself up with some sugar right now (Poptarts...how appropriate) and a full pack of smokes. I have two cans of Guinness on the ready for after, good news or bad.

 

[pax]

I find that I fly much better when I'm drunk, ja.

Ewen

 

[pax]

So anyway, here I go, back to Ticketbastard.

Fresh credit card? Check.

Orange juice? Check.

Coffee? Check.

Shaking hands? Uhhhhhhh...check.

Figuring out a way to get Ewen some puppy tranquilizers for the flight? Check.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I signed in and added all my credit card info ahead of time (learned the hard way on Tuesday).

 

[starsgoblue]

Ok...dumb question...Chitown tix starts at 11 EST right?

Speaking of credit cards, when you pick up your wallet, can you hear yours groaning?

I can. After all this, they're getting a nice, long vacation in my jewelry box. At my house. Where they can't go shopping.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Yep, 11am, stars.

:: goes invisible on IM, so if anyone is looking to talk to me, they'll have to wait until after I HAVE MY GAs [the power of positive thinking] ::

 

[starsgoblue]

Yep, 11am, stars.

Breaks out in to a sweat at the thought of doing this twice....

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I don't even have my AIM on. Interference is going bye-bye in a few, too.

I think once the sale gets wrapped up, I'm going to start collecting info on what people have, what they're keeping, and what they're giving away/selling so we have a better idea of who is really coming and how many hotel rooms we can reserve. I'm going to try to get a group rate someplace. If people double or triple up in rooms, we can do this cheap.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Good luck, all!

*bites nails

 

[pax]

Wouldn't, like, 5 adjoining rooms be great?

OK, I'm out!
