Damn I wish I could go.
But I was psyched to get handed a copy yesterday.
And??? How did it go???
(and you no longer accept urls from blogspot?? but I’ve never spammed you — pouts — punishing the majority due to some — goes off to cry)

That was a blast, thanks for the heads up!
How fun was that?! Very, very fun indeed. Can’t imagine a city that’s more in keeping with the spirit of the Onion.
Man, I tried to go. But then I saw the line stretching down the block and figured there was no way I’d get in.
