What's Happening in Austin

[Ebon]

Father June will forgive you.

Eventually.

If you make amends to all the TX femmes.

I have already made amends. I don't know what else I can do.

[Puplove]

I have already made amends. I don't know what else I can do.
Doughnuts?

[Ebon]

Doughnuts?

They go a long way in this house. Don't underestimate the power of a doughnut.

[Arwen]

Weeeellllllll....he *did* wind up importing one, so maybe he really meant to say that his favorite kind of femmes tend to stay in cooler climates?

:| x infinity.

[Oiler41]

Um....reason 6? (hint: what femme lives here?)

That's a given love! Far too important to make the same list with such trivial things as taxes and DMV fees! Am I out of the doghouse yet???

Love you always!

[Oiler41]

*sigh* For I was young and a fool when I said such things. I know not what I did.

Keep working on it buddy,,sooner or later that crater you are in will be just a small hole that you have to climb out of,,but it could take years. I'll throw more rope down to you. I'm helpful like that.

Hey Austin,

Is anyone still going to roller Derby? I'll be there!

-Candace

[WhiteTigress]

Wait a minute! I'm following a trail back, and I don't know if I have all the details, but am I to gather that Ebon said that there are no REAL femmes in Texas???

If that's so, he might want to be careful if he ever comes down to Houston. (Red-headed hackles raising...)

I'm *so* glad the *doh!* things I said years ago have not been publicly quoted here. :)

Oh, good, because I know that one can be despicable sometimes. :giggle:

Wait. I can do that. I'll be right back...

On second thought... I have too many of my own. Let's keep a lid on that!

[Arwen]

I'm so very sorry that it's come to this.

But after so much time struggling to maintain a friendship with someone, I find that I cannot do so any longer.

I must officially and sadly publicly end my friendship with someone in the Austin community.

Y'all KNOW how much I hate drama but I have to do this publicly. I need your support in this.

I will need you to help me turn my back to this person.
I will need you to help me be strong and not read their DAMNED PICTURE TEXTS full of teh kitteh cuteness.

Yes, it's true. I'm unfriending Blush and Goofy.

Dang it. I'm at least cutting them off from sending me picture texts.

[Goofy]

I will need you to help me be strong and not read their DAMNED PICTURE TEXTS full of teh kitteh cuteness.



But it's a VERY cute kitteh. And we have more pictures. Be warned. And afraid.

[Arwen]

Can someone tell the danged redheaded boy and his adorable partner that I'm not speaking to them? Kthnkxbai

Must go turn off my email and text.

And stop trying to come up with names.

What do you think of Sasha?

[blush]

*stalking*
What about Sassyfrass? That's a nice name.
The kitten likes pizza. And dogs.

Ummmm....I clicked on the 2009 photos in the link and it showed me young kiddos running around and a big ole sign saying alcohol is not allowed in or out. Is there an adult version and a kid's version or did it have a massive overhaul between 2009 and now?

I'm just curious, as I don't have the breasts to pull off the painted look, but I wouldn't mind going just to see what folks wear. :)

Not speaking to YOU either.

Sassy is cute but common. Hmmm..

She doesn't look like a Guinevere.

Yes but it would get shortened to Sassy. I'll probably ask her to help me name her. Yes, I'm weird.

Chutney?

Update for this Friday's extravaganza (it's just too...too to say eggstravaganza):

6pm spaghetti dinner
by 7pm, we can start the egg coloring and basket making, general festivities, good times

We're making baskets for a senior home with Alzheimer's ward -- they have 50 residents there. The activities director told me there are about 20 residents who never have guests or anything. What's wrong with their families???

N-E-way, we're planning on bringing 50 baskets to hand out, with a couple eggs, some candies and a little non-food item like puzzle book or keep-warm bootie socks.

If you haven't already told me or the Oiley Beauhunk you're coming, will you send one of us a PM?

If you're coming, will you please bring a dozen already-boiled eggs? We could use a couple more dye kits.

We'll get some kind of festive little baskets and stuff

For those coming from out of town...don't worry about bringing eggs, too hard to try to transport them and stuff.

[Puplove]

Am not. Send more pictures. :) I'mma gonna let her name herself. Most of my cats have done that. :)

So THAT's why all your cats are named "Meow"

[Goofy]

Evilene -- love it.
One time...in band camp..?
Okay, actually in college: my besties (2 gay boys) and I called us by our catty nicknames: Cruella, Evilla and Meanora.
Evilene just reminded me of that.

P.S. Blush, did you notice the name teh Arwen gave her kitteh?

I do miss my Carmen kitty a lot. :(

In other news, the first hungover college student from upstairs was met by my VERY CHEERFUL AND LOUD voice wishing them a good morning and asking them to pick up the beer cans they flung in the front yard and off the balcony onto my patio.

I was very nice and very very very cheerful and loud. She winced a bit. Ahhh youth.

xpost from FB.


i've been talking with a local band (who has also performed internationally) about doing a shoot with them. they were pretty quick to respond to my initial inquiry and subsequent emails have been heartening.

an except from the latest email from them:



Great idea re: background and concepting.

Background: We started in 2001 playing punk rockified music from the turn of the 19th century. Craig High and I (Bruce Gardner) have recent ancestors that both ran with the Hole in the Wall gang (Jesse James) – so our bloodlines crossed before.

We’ve been to Ireland and England twice, and have had the rare privilege of playing live on BBC Radio 2. We are in pre-production for our 3rd CD that I am hoping will be complete at the end of this year.

We are working to increase our national visibility and will be aligning with some known bands within the genre in order to do so.


i am just.fucking.excited. would appreciate y'all keeping good thoughts for this whole dealio and send me some grand, iconic image mojo.

i'm starting to think that the move to austin is what i actually needed to do. and thanks to my mama for sharing enough of herself with me to allow me to realize that sometimes, ya just gotta go for it.

Riiiiight?

I have plenty of mine own too.



Ummmm....I clicked on the 2009 photos in the link and it showed me young kiddos running around and a big ole sign saying alcohol is not allowed in or out. Is there an adult version and a kid's version or did it have a massive overhaul between 2009 and now?

I'm just curious, as I don't have the breasts to pull off the painted look, but I wouldn't mind going just to see what folks wear. :)

I'm sure alcohol isn't allowed in and out because they want you to buy from the vendors there. THere are plenty of kids, but there are somethings some people may not want their kids exposed to. Like half-naked people and the reek of pot smoke. But it's an open, friendly gathering of austin folks and there's nothing like it. I'm pretty sure the kiddos have access to face paint and other diversions. Parking is the biggest bitch - I'll probably park elsewhere and ride the bus in. My stamina will depend on the heat/weather. it seems like kind of a free and friendly gathering of people in full celebration mode. One guy groped my (clothed) boob there, so that wasn't cool. There are drum circles, dancing, general silliness, costumes, music, a few people selling their wears, food concessions ( if I remember right), etc. You also run into people you'd never expect. It's random.

I myself will not be wearing paint as a shirt or paisties as a shirt - but there will be plenty who do one or the other. Oh, and I'm not sure what the deodorant per person ratio is either. I grew up in Austin, so I'm used to that hippie smell. :)

It is a must see thing, it is Austin. they do offer parking and bussing in which is necessary as there is not ample parking there at any time. I love to go down and people watch. It willl be cooler in early and late but the later you go the more "Eeyored" the follks get which can be a good thing.

I really think you should go, I have tolkd this to Wil as well I wont be able to handle it this year but maybe you three et al could go check it out.

[Arwen]

Hey Austin! I wanna go have some Indian food. I'm off tomorrow so I'm going to do the buffet at the Tandoori Bistro (http://www.yelp.com/biz/tandoori-bistro-austin#hrid:0AKv4du-eUGnH_6ROa6yfQ/). I'll be there at 11:30 if you have the ability to join me.

Looking forward to the Eggggstravaganza tomorrow night with all who can attend! We have the baskets, grass for them, candy, and a pair of fuzzy socks and a little notebook for each one. All we need now are the hard boiled eggs folks are bringing to the party to "dye" for!

Remember, spaghetti/garlic bread/salad for dinner at 6 p.m. and egg dying starting about 7. There are 50 residents in the nursing home we are taking them to. According to the folks working there, about 20 residents don't get visitors. We are also putting together a candy filled basket for the staff. We thank everyone in advance for bringing a dozen eggs (eggcept out of towners traveling in) already boiled and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night!!!

Thank you to Glynn and Denise for hosting a fun event. Food was good. Company great. And, you know what? It felt darn good to do something for someone else like that. So thank you for opening up your home and my heart.

Much love to you both! Me

[Puplove]

Hey everybody!
We're going to go hand out easter baskets tomorrow morning, in case you want to come along. The catch: the home is in Cedar Park. You can come meet at our house first, I'm sure Glynn will be making waffles or something (I don't do that morning thing, so I don't know what you people do when you gather and talk to each other when you first get up).

Text or call one of us if you want to go, or just show up here at about 10, we're leaving at 10:30.

[Arwen]

You-know-who will be in town next weekend.:koolaid: I'm off on Saturday. Eyeore's Birthday:jester: was on the list but has been kicked to the curb.

Soooooooooooo, we thought we'd do a bbq here except I don't have a bbq. :| Silly HOA rules about not burning my neighbors down!:readfineprint::fireman:

We do have a pool here and could have an impromptu pool party.

Or, does anyone else have a better plan? He'd love to get to see y'all while he's in town. For some reason, trash talking and all, he likes you people. :|

[Gemme]

I'm training (finally! four months after getting the job!) this coming week and will have a 40 plus hour work week (yay!) but I think my only day off is that Saturday. I promised I'd take a day for my boss and she mentioned giving me Sunday but nothing was finalized.

*sigh*

Some days, my office is just not big enough for two Geminis and all our multi-idosyncrasies.

:blink:

I'd love to do something if it is. If ya'll can't think of anything else, we have bbq pits here and a big ole pool. No jacuzzi though. Private theatre. Xbox. But no jacuzzi. That Indian restaurant we never checked out. But no jacuzzi.

The Hot Flash dance thingy is next Saturday, I believe we promised someone we'd go to that...
I mean, if you know of anyone who has a jacuzzi (even if it only fits about 4 people at a time), pool, Wii and a bbq....hmmm...it seems like there was someone...

[Pixie]

I just wanted to say that I had a lovely weekend with all that were around! The faces on the residents was absolutely priceless! Would love to make it an annual thing for sure, especially pitching in more for things! It was great seeing everyone again, and having the delight (not) of meeting durrrrr. Thank you for the laughs, chatter, food, and much more...and thank you Puplove and Oiler for opening up your home once again!

Mucho hugs

Wait! I think I almost saw you. :|

Hmmm...know anybody who has a jacuzzi?
The Hot Flash dance thingy is next Saturday, I believe we promised someone we'd go to that...
I mean, if you know of anyone who has a jacuzzi (even if it only fits about 4 people at a time), pool, Wii and a bbq....hmmm...it seems like there was someone...

Tell me more....

I just wanted to say that I had a lovely weekend with all that were around! The faces on the residents was absolutely priceless! Would love to make it an annual thing for sure, especially pitching in more for things!


I think it is a signature of Austin. We take care of our family and others as well. I was thinking today that it would be nice to adopt a facility or a classroom or something. We could do this sort of thing at Glynniece's muahahaha more often.
the kool- guy is visiting?


I was thinking about Arwen's, but your's comes with doggies!

:cheesy:
:thumbsup:

I have reported your indescretion to Nayru and Batman and Flynn. They demand an apology or treats. Or both.

[Gemme]

Hmmm. We do need to do a party at your place some day


Wait! I think I almost saw you. :|


I have reported your indescretion to Nayru and Batman and Flynn. They demand an apology or treats. Or both.

We thought about having a housewarming/both birthday get together thingy in mid-May but we just haven't put the effort forth that would be required in planning such a thing.

Ebon's birthday is May 14th and mine is May 31st. My boss' is June 15th and her daughter's is May 3rd. There's some birthdays up in HEAH!

If you squinch your eyes juuuuuust right....oh, nope, sorry. That's the hairy guy next door.

:|

Flynn is NOT a doggie. Batman isn't either. He's a face and ear washing machine. Nayru is a doggie. I shall apologize with bacon to her soon.

[Gemme]

We need to decide where we're eating tomorrow. Suggestions (not Chili's)?

[Arwen]

You are just racking up the wrong kind of points with Flynn and Batman. And you haven't met Vinegar yet.

And ennnh to Chuy's. It's a bit noisy.

So about this weekend. Any thoughts? Do y'all want to come this way or was Glyniece serious? I can never tell.

[Nina]

my son had a grand time this weekend at the austin wedding... or, should that be the wedding in austin?

they flew back austin to LA and then supposed to fly LA to SF...turns out the LA flight was cancelled and they got home 6 hours later after going through phoenix....

so, for me (living happily in crazy-ninaland) I had a great time in austin though a rocky trip home...

thanks...and see ya next time (when I will do all I can to get a direct flight) :)

[canmarielan]

Well, Saturday night I am going to be Angelique's "ass-istant". She is the one who is chair for the Hot Flash dance at Rusty's.

If you don't know what Hot Flash is..

Our demographic is composed of women approximately 30-55 years old with a solid mix of all races and classes.

Hot Flash Dance Parties take you back to the 70s and bring you forward into the 21st century with a mix of 65% retro and 35% contemporary music.

Hot Flash is held early in the evening so you can groove through the entire dance AND make plans to continue to party afterward... at dinner, other parties, or your own private party!

check out the following pages:

I would LOOVVEEE it if y'all could make it :)

Also, I'm not on call this weekend so I'm down for WHATEVER else y'all wanna do :)

Sounds like a ton of fun, but unfortunately D wouldn't be able to go. :(

[Puplove]

For real? Is it a "female-identified lesbians only" event?

Exclusion policies push my fairness buttons and stir up hurty feelings from my past, when trying to find my community at the only place I knew of, lesbian bars. Women there would tell me to go back to the straight bars where I belonged. Ouch on the "lesbian-only" judgment swinging around and hurting many.

I don't really think the "safe-from-men space" justification flies at a bar and dance.

Sigh. I hope I'm overstepping and reading too much into it. I hope Arwen's wrong about D not being able to go if he wanted to (then I could finally quit speaking to that hooker).

I hope we (that's the royal "we") are not bringing a new queer social event to Austin that would judge against and exclude half of our community.

Well here's their policy:

Trans Policy: F2Ms are welcome at women-only dances as long as they self-identify at the door.

While I understand, that's a bit much for me. It doesn't feel like a good thing.

while it's nice to be welcome at a function i don't qualify for, the cover charge seems a bit steep. if it's women-only, then it's women-only, right? which is fine. however, being required to essentially say "i'm not really a guy" is some major suckage.

how about getting about 20 of us guys together to show up, then insist we be patted down at the door?

what is the policy on MtF?

i can see where the sponsoring group is making an effort toward inclusion, toward allowing guys to participate in community functions. but really?

I wondered the same thing about the MtF policy. It really does suck to have to self id at the door.

But I really do understand the need for guy-only and gal-only space. I respect that.

I just wouldn't feel comfortable there. No harm. No foul. I hope it's a really successful event!

[little man]

I'll be in Austin over memorial day weekend---anything fun going on?

always something fun going on here, it seems. keep an eye on this thread would be my advice (that you didn't ask for).

oh, and you had best look me up while you're here. it's been far too long since our paths have crossed.

[canmarielan]

I suppose I didn't think about it either way. Yeah I spoke to the site manager and she said that the person just has to identify themselves as trans at the door. As I am not trans, I didn't know that identifying as trans was a negative thing? Anyway, I understand those of you who don't want to come b/c of that.

Pup...I honestly don't think it's about excluding trans people or being a "female-identified lesbian" ONLY party. It's a party geared toward having women of all ages (though aimed at those above 30), races, classes, sexual orientation come together and have a blast.

Sorry this is causing such a issue, though I don't understand why.

Since this club is also patronized by gay men, I believe the "woman only" speaks to that portion of folks, but I could be wrong. I think its just a "Girls Night Out"

would you be willing to say "i'm not *really* queer" to be able to attend?

i don't think the policy is malicious in intent. i think the wording, the asking people to essentially deny who they are is misguided. it's difficult to see how language can affect others if you aren't in the affected group.

CM! It's not YOU causing an issue, right?

But the policy does hurt a lot of our peeps. I think it's good to air feelings, opposing viewpoints and our unique experiences; we run the risk of starting to think everyone agrees if we never come up against a difference. Narrows the mind and makes conversations dull after a while.

My own issue is calling up the deep hurt feelings of the "get out of our place, you don't belong" I experienced when trying to go to "lesbian-only" clubs as a young(ish) pup searching for belonging. Plus, I get very squeamish about forcing our trans guys to say "yep, I'm not really a guy," and it hurts my feelings FOR them and us.

It's a fun plan for an event that bumps smack into the cold reality that makes up so much of our world, where you have to fit into an accepted gender or appearance or orientation to be welcomed.

It's a lesbian dance, lesbian space. I respect that. It is offensive(however well intended) to ask a trans person to "identify" themselves. Requiring that anyone announce such personal information is offensive. Especially when only a certain group must make the disclosure. Are they checking to see if everyone is gay? There is a HUGE difference between SELF disclosure and required disclosure to attend a dance. You remove a person's agency when you make it mandatory that they announce it.

Honey, I love you and I respect you very much. Please understand that I'm trying to get you to think about this in a different way. It is certainly not a personal attack.

[Puplove]

cough cough...clear throat...little whistle...
oh, looky, is that a falling star?

N-E-hooo.....

It seems teh Arwen needs a pool and a BBQ, Gemme and Ebon need a party. D (arrgh sorry about the name usage earlier damn you hooker for leading me down the path) needs something fun to do since he's visiting.

So...

Hey! How about swimming and bbq at Glynneice's on Saturday?

Swim time starting at 2 (shade starts creeping over the pool about 3, it'll be in the shade by about 5)
Barbecue and stuff probably about 5?

If you want to keep hanging out we can play games (fact) and stuff into the wee hours (crap...probably just one wee hour)
Bring yer drinks.
We'll negotiate the other stuff with teh Arwen and see what we come up with.
For god's sake, don't bring any candy. I may make you all take some home with you.
Oh, right -- we'll have healthier alternatives for snacking too.

[Puplove]

erg, sorry for stepping on your post, Blush - don't want to make it sound like I'm trivializing the good stuff you have to say. Although of course you already know you love me. Oh, I mean I love you.

[Goofy]

I'm not trying to belabor the point Candace (really, I'm not) but I just wanted to try and provide a bit of a different perspective.

It's got very little to do with actually being trans and more to do with being required to disclose it to someone.

I am transgendered. I do not run around in my daily life and tell folks I meet that I am trans. Some people see me as male, some don't; sometimes I correct pronoun usage, sometimes I don't. Now say I were to go to this dance party and the door person sees me as male. Do I have to disclose that I am anything otherwise? Or if they look at my ID and see my birth name, do I then get a "pass"? Do you see how disheartening this could be?

I've got nothing against the Hot Flash Dances and I get the need for lesbian-only or women-only spaces. But I'm neither a woman nor a lesbian, so we won't be going.

[blush]

erg, sorry for stepping on your post, Blush - don't want to make it sound like I'm trivializing the good stuff you have to say. Although of course you already know you love me. Oh, I mean I love you.

Flat ones.

austin continues to offer up opportunity for me.

i wrote a guy who had an ad up on CL to cast a comedy short. i figure what the hell, can't get the electric chair for asking, right? if i'm going to get any experience and opportunity to do production/still photos, i have to put myself out there.

the guy responded favorably to my inquiry and says he may even have some other projects i can shoot for him.

thank you universe for flipping the switch in my brain that said quit this suck ass job and move to austin. all praise the infinite wisdom of wil's universe.

i will, of course, link y'all up with any work i get. i so needed this today.

Honey, the only thing is that the policy says to self-id at the door. That's denying an FtM the right to be the man they are.

And, how are they going to prove it? Drop their pants? :)

(thinking of volunteering now...)

But yeah, I think women-only space and man-only space is awesome. I just think the way they say it is kinda icky. :(

BUT! We can have it all!

We can party for BBQ at Glyneice's. Then those that want to go party to some awesome music with some fabulous women can. :) And those that don't can stay and play games.

SO there! We can have it all in Austin.

And DrSassyPants and Maryoosa too!

[Arwen]

D is heading home now with a cup of strong coffee.

Nobody told Conner that I played him in Wii golf and dropped his score by like 46 points--did they?

I just think it's a sign of how fabulous the Austin BF gang is--weekends like these, that is.:wine:

[Puplove]

Thank you so much for opening up your home, Glyniece! It was a great time. The perfect way to spend an afternoon with the Austin BF family. Even if durrr did try to get water in my wine! And Candypants tried to drown me. And y'all wore poor D out so much he had to have a disco nap!

This town rocks. When's the next party at PartyCentral? LOL


Next weekend, only on the South Side. I have heard promising talk of barbecue or something, and a bathroom to show off?

Damned scheduling - wish I would have realized weeks ago that our Trans-Siberian concert is the same time as the potty party.
:(

Oh, and yeah, we have a great group, don't we? Special thanks to Durrrrrrrrrr for all the hard work (and Oiler as always). I love seeing D, and everyone else too. And, how perfect that the weather waited until today to drop down below freezing. We'll do it again soon.

[Puplove]

Wim says hi to everyone and wanted me to also tell ya her laptop isn't workin right now cuz she would of logged on herself and said howdy to y'all

Oh, good, I can go check her out and she won't know. hee hee hee
Hope you got your garbage can back under control.

Oh hell. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get that score where it was? Couldn't you have just made your own? By the way, Camp Bloofy is open next weekend, just let me know when the kids are coming over.

Sorry we missed y'all this time around.

Well I made it to Dallas in time for lunch and a margarita. Then dinner and pomegranate martinis. We had a great time celebrating C's 50th. I also got to see a friend of Cai's who flew in from Minnesota. I really enjoyed her company as well.

While at BdB's there was a table by us with two lovely BF couples. I didn't wander over but it did make me smile.

Thank you to the fellas in Dale for some yummy food and fun conversation. Sorry about the demon diva dog. :| She was not being the nicest girl in town.

The brisket was amazing.
The gooey butter cupcakes divine.
The deviled eggs delish!

Dr.SassyPants, dead fish tomorrow night! Call us. :)

You should come out to the park with us. Emma long.

Had fun today even if little man and I did get our butts kicked in our kayaks by all the wake from the boats! Ebon, was great to see you! Dr.SassyPants, was great to meet you! Ashton, we couldn't stay long enough for brisket yesterday, but it sure made a great sandwich today!

little man, we will find a more calm place for our next adventure and we will get Puplove out for her maiden voyage in her new kayak! I will check with some of the guys at work who are avid kayakers and find out where to go that isn't quite so overwhelmed with power boats.

Glynn

[canmarielan]

I'm sorry I missed the park and sushi today...but I forgotted! Y'all shoulda called a sista! hahaa.....

[Arwen]

Sushi followed by ice cream was yummy. We need to do it again soon. Candypants, you would have made it even more special. :)

[Gemme]

The dead fish and lively company for dinner tonight was delish. Thanks for being awesome, ya'll.

I admit, I ate a few of those deviled eggs. I'm not sorry either. :blink:

Thanks for a nice, relaxing night last night Ash, Wil and company!

Missy Miss SassyfrassPants, you MUST come back! You are adored.

Ashton, I'm sure we can float back and forth. The pool is at the other end of the complex so I predict migration paths from there to here and back again. :) Maybe a miracle Wii will fall off Craigslist (I've been looking) so we can Wiiiiiii in the house. OH MY! :|

i won't be in attendance (i had already booked a shoot out here), but will send pies in with ashton. let me know what the head count is, so i make enough pie.

[durrrrrrrr]

I can manage the Diet Coke. I think. :|:|

I don't think they make enough cabernet to keep me from running out, big slush that I am. (my only competition is that woman in FL who drinks her wine from a yogurt cup)

And, yep, I do know how it is! But anytime...thanks, and yeah, I know. and who knows, maybe by the time I drive to Austin to pick up Harley and after being gone maybe I just might be to dang tired to drive back that night and may take y'all up on the offer. thank you :)

There's a Sonic up the road.

If I lived in Austin, I'd sure like to meet you all and enjoy your company. Sounds like Austin has a good group of people.

I wanna come! I'm going to be in Austin from Saturday-Wednesday (5/28-6/1) I'm in town for work, but I could perhaps come later in the early evening---what time do you all think you're gonna be hanging out until?


Marisa

I'll PM you my phone number and address. If you need directions...um...you will want to ask someone other than me. I'm really bad with directions.

this is true, mary....i've heard tales of arguments arwen's had with the GPS.

[Arwen]

Sssst!

You've never taken an Arwen 720 tour. Just ask Vic or Gemme. Or ask Conner about talking to me while I'm shouting at Lola for taking me to the destination I plugged in NOT the destination I wanted.

Do not ask Ash what he named his GPS. I still haven't forgiven him.:police:

[Goofy]

Or by trying to figure out which direction you were headed by which side of the car the sun was on...

[wimsiclegirl]

Taco festivities in Austin sound yummy!! Arwen.....I totally understand your directions dilemma ....I am directionally impaired!! I often engage in heated "discussions" with my GPS...Maggie.... when she leads me astray...... :-)

Conner! It was NOON. Mean boy. Lol. Wimsie, Ebon is my witness to Lola leading me astray INTENTIONALLY.

HMMPH. Lol

[Arwen]

Yes! I got two hours plus my lunch hour off. I thought, "Whee! I can go get that library card I keep saying I'm going to get." :|

I work at West Gate Blvd. I drove down that street because it had to run into Manchaca...right?

sigh.

I turned at William Cannon, hit I-35 and came home.

Oh yeah. I just got lost less than 1/4 mile from my destination. LOLOLOL!

Reason #309999999900111 not to get directions from me.

[Ebon]

Someone else should bring the onion. I'm going to get there later than I thought. :)

[Pixie]

[durrrrrrrr]

I'm worried there will be no chips and guacamole.

hope you are able to sleep

[Arwen]

I'm making my guacamole which isn't really REAL guacamole, but I'm told it's good.

This is what happens when that damned Glyneice goes out of town. No Glynncamole. No Hooker wine. No Wii.

I'm sure we can have fun.

Hey I know! We can play "Pin The Dreads On Ebon".

Can someone pick up some heavy duty thumb tacks? :|

[Gemme]

I'll PM you my phone number and address. If you need directions...um...you will want to ask someone other than me. I'm really bad with directions.

Stand up and be counted, my directionally challenged sister!

this is true, mary....i've heard tales of arguments arwen's had with the GPS.

Her GPS is quite argumentative.

:blink:

I :stillheart: your tours. You should do it on the side, as your 4504th job. But only accept passengers who don't speak English. More fun that way.

Or by trying to figure out which direction you were headed by which side of the car the sun was on...

NOON, Goof. Noon!

I'm worried there will be no chips and guacamole.

Well, if you're worried, then obviously you will be joining us.

Your job is to not forget the Honey.

I love the Gemme right up to the point where she puts her foot down. Maaaaaaan. Just one round?

I will stand up and be counted. Which way should I face? Your left or my left or Conner's north?

[Arwen]

Ha this has been hysterical to read. I adore my GPS and always does as it tells me. I'm carless in Austin, so I'll figure out how to get there--- I'm not free until 5:30ish on Sunday evening...so hopefully that won't be too late...

That said, I'm in Austin now---so you all need to tell me...where can a New York Yankee girl get some pink cowboy boots?

Cavender's Boot City on S. Lamar at West Gate Shopping Center is having a tent sale right now. Also there you can find Central Market (upper grocery market) and Amy's Ice Cream (try the Mexican Vanilla.)

[Gemme]

Nope, not even one round. That would count as hitting and we don't do that anymore.

:eyebat:

Good question. Anyone have a compass?

:seeingstars:

[durrrrrrrr]

Good question. Anyone have a ass?

:seeingstars:

I do :|...........

[Arwen]

I do :|...........

Clarification: Have not are.

RUNNING!

[durrrrrrrr]

just for that, I am bringing with me my speedo's for the pool :koolaid::bolt:
