Chicago Litogether 2008 After Action Report

[Gizzmotick]

That's the way it should be, no?

Indeed... I know I love them all...

 

[Katyusha]

I may just explode if you are....

Then I will have done my job...but since I always need practice I'll have to do it over and over again.

 

[Gizzmotick]

Indeed. There must be a nest somewhere.

Nope... just what you see here... that's all you have to choose from... no there are no more... all your attention must remain focused HERE!!!

I have to add my two cents here. It's too much fun to pass on the opportunity.



Ah, train travel. Must have been the cattle on the tracks in texas that delayed the train by at least 5 hours. Or maybe the flood waters in Arkansas and Missouri.

I cannot tell you the joys of being trapped with hundreds of people who have not seen a shower in over 30 hours. Sorry about the homemade cookies, by the way. They were donated to the angry, fitful, fussy children that whined so miserably about not being home yet. It was the only way I could think of to keep them from butchering and roasting me for dinner.

I missed the early party.



Never did see Mansome in the flesh, so to speak. Sigh.



S~Des gives a mean footrub. I nearly wet myself.



I blame the vodka. Thanks, Nero.



Nero and Wenchie took wonderful care of me. They took me all over the area on Saturday, even bringing me close to the old neighborhood where I grew up. Ah, memories... We had great Cajun food and shopped endlessly. We dragged poor TE999 along. He was a good sport. (The princess loved her gifts, guys. Thanks for the help.)

The funniest part was getting back to the hotel. I was shivering uncontrollably by the time we stepped on the elevator. It was TE999, Nero, Wenchie and me--and some guy that looked like a church minister. We formed a human sandwich with me at the center, all hugging up close to warm me up. The preacher man looked as if he wanted to bail. I've never seen a man look so frightened.

and the human sandwich was... uh... very warm. Again, Tom, was that your beltbuckle or were you just glad to see me?

We would have loved to have roasted you too I am sure.....

You didnt get to see me in the flesh either, just my driving....

*makes note to wear my biggest belt buckle next year....*

 

[fieryjen]

Not at all... name the date...

How about soon?

 

[Katyusha]

Why would you do that, you twisted woman!


The stopping, I mean.

Well SOMETHING has to be left to everyone else's imagination...

 

[Katyusha]

Indeed. There must be a nest somewhere.

We should organize an expedition to find it.

 

[Katyusha]

Nope... just what you see here... that's all you have to choose from... no there are no more... all your attention must remain focused HERE!!!

You lie!!!

 

[Gizzmotick]

Gizz looooooooves to talk about his camera. But he likes showing it off even more.

I esspecially love showing off the rapid-fire feature of my camera.... five shots a second... and that can be sustained for almost a minute.

 

[sweetness6280]

That's the way it should be, no?

Absolutely, darlin.

No--and yes.

You have no idea.

You'd better tie me up then... it'll keep me from straying

 

[Gizzmotick]

How about soon?

That works. I'll look forward to it.

 

[SweetWitch]

We would have loved to have roasted you too I am sure.....

You didnt get to see me in the flesh either, just my driving....

*makes note to wear my biggest belt buckle next year....*

Oh, crap. I forgot to mention driving lessons. Have you been saved?

You did good, but you had me a little nervous in a couple of areas. You and Blue are a riot. Where are you now?

 

[Katyusha]

I esspecially love showing off the rapid-fire feature of my camera.... five shots a second... and that can be sustained for almost a minute.

And he ain't lyin' there...

 

[mark197205]

Now why do the redheads get all the fun?

*pouts* I like cameras just as much, ya know. What do I have to do to prove that?

Dunno really, us brunettes deserve some too!

While I mention brunettes, the PJ clad Blue one next to me is waving at y'all, in between yawns....

Cute pout.....

 

[fieryjen]

Well SOMETHING has to be left to everyone else's imagination...

But not to mine! In fact, I refuse to be imagining things. You'll have to be responsible for making sure I get proper closure!

 

[SweetWitch]

No--and yes.

You have no idea.

That one time I know for a fact it wasn't your buckle. Got my Christmas goose a little early this year!

 

[Gizzmotick]

You'd better tie me up then... it'll keep me from straying

You mean the enticing selection in front of you wouldn't keep you from wandering away???

 

[sweetness6280]

Gizz looooooooves to talk about his camera. But he likes showing it off even more.

Don't they all, darlin?

I esspecially love showing off the rapid-fire feature of my camera.... five shots a second... and that can be sustained for almost a minute.

Again... I need empirical evidence.

 

[fieryjen]

Absolutely, darlin.

 

[fieryjen]

I esspecially love showing off the rapid-fire feature of my camera.... five shots a second... and that can be sustained for almost a minute.

I've never had sex under strobe light...

 

[sweetness6280]

Dunno really, us brunettes deserve some too!

While I mention brunettes, the PJ clad Blue one next to me is waving at y'all, in between yawns....

Cute pout.....

Hi Blue!

 

[Gizzmotick]

You lie!!!

And he ain't lyin' there...

Well... which is it... am I lying or not?

 

[Katyusha]

But not to mine! In fact, I refuse to be imagining things. You'll have to be responsible for making sure I get proper closure!

In due time, my sweet, in due time.
