Link is probably not a positive experience for the arachnophobic.

I’m kind of bummed that Yutsano/Yatsuno is organising a Balloon Juice meet-up, on my birthday of all days, and didn’t invite me. Yes, I know it’s in a bar, and Seattle’s out of my way, and I don’t drink and besides it’s Ramadan, but still … Pout.
MikeJ
@Amir Khalid: We will hoist at least one in your hono[u]r.
Just Some Fuckhead
I’m having a P90X and Corona party right now. It was sorta last minute.
NotMax
@Amir Khalid
Well, the time set is after sundown.
MikeJ
@NotMax: 7PM is way before sunset here. Sometime after 9.
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: P90X? With Paul Ryan? Y’all wearing your caps backwards?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: Mrs. Fuckhead is doing the P90X. I’m just drinking a beer, ogling her downward dog.
NotMax
@MikeJ
Hoocudanode?
Dark by 7 here.
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: There’s a Mrs. Fuckhead?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: 25 years next month.

A couple of interesting-sounding upcoming movies:
HBO documentary — The Battle of AmFAR, about Mathilde Krim and Elizabeth Taylor teaming up to fund the early research into AIDS
Fruitvale Station — a docudrama about the death of Oscar Grant, who was shot in the back by a San Francisco transit officer. It’s getting HUGE buzz on the indie circuit, including Oscar talk about former The Wire star Michael B. Jordan, who plays Grant.
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: Well, happy early anniversary! Never would have guessed.
A Ghost To Most
@MattF:
That thing needs a disembodied (re-embodied?) dolls head, ala Toy Story.
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: Weird. What was I telegraphing through my indiscriminate use of words?
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: What’s weird?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: Why would you assume who is married or not based on pseudonymous commenting?
MomSense
There has been a little discussion of a possible Maine meetup in August when Handsmile will be here.
Just Some Fuckhead
@MomSense:
Whoa, JGabriel’s dad. Nice.

@Hal: When I was at Ft Lewis in the summer of 68 we’d go down to the Ave in Seattle and the only one that would sell bud to our skinhead GI asses was junkie/Navy Vet named Cowboy Bob.
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: I don’t. Why would you say that I do?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: I dunno. You’ve confused me now.
Violet
@Just Some Fuckhead: You sure it’s me that confused you?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Violet: I’m not sure of anything anymore.

@Mnemosyne:
Man, that Wallace just can’t catch a break.

@Amir Khalid:
Also, everything in pike’s place brewery has bacon in it.
Opie_jeanne
Yatsuno, will you be there? We are back in town now so we can come.
NotMax
Not to keep on beating the Sharknado drum, but found this a little bit interesting.
Opie_jeanne
@NotMax: no, 8pm is not after sundown here.
MomSense
@Just Some Fuckhead:
I have no ill feelings about jgabriel at all.
Just Some Fuckhead
@MomSense: You shouldn’t. He seems like a really decent person.
Gin & Tonic
@Just Some Fuckhead: That’s a pseudonym?
Just Some Fuckhead
@Gin & Tonic: Technically, yes.

@lojasmo: And the fries are cooked in lard.
McDonald’s used to cook their fires in lard, so my gf in grad school and I couldn’t go there. She was of the same faith as Amir.
Yatsuno
@Opie_jeanne: I definitely plan on being in attendance, unless this cold I’ve been fighting finally decides to flatten me. I plan on whupping the sucker though.
NotMax
@efgoldman
Cue cyber-Cheers theme:
…where everybody knows your nym…
Yatsuno
@efgoldman: Hawai’i works for me. We can grill steaks on the beach and eat tons of musubi for breakfast. Plus Kona coffee and pineapple. Nomz.
NotMax
@Yatsuno
Balloon Juice Luau.
Love it.
Sort of a Hogmanay in paradise.
Yatsuno
@NotMax: ALOHA!!!!
Yatsuno
@efgoldman: Once we find each other, we start with nyms, then move on to real names, then go from there. I haven’t figured out where I’m going to get green balloons as of yet, but I have plently of time to figure that out tomorrow.

@Yatsuno: Make sure PsiFighter+17 has a safe way home!
Elie
Have a great time! I look forward to meeting up with you all once we finish our move in late august —
Yatsuno
@Redshirt: His hotel is literally a stumble away. And he doesn’t even really have to cross a street to get there. So he should be just fine.

@Yatsuno:
Down post alley, eh?
