Great party, many thanks, but..........
Everyone except for me & J1ll are MAD RONG for not wearing ugly golf shorts! (Although at least a couple people insisted my golf shorts weren't ugly enough, but harrumph to that.)

Who is lxy? Did I meet you?
― The Reverend, Sunday, 1 July 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Jergins, did I hear a song during your set about "going down on a girl who looks like me," or was I just drunk?

Thanks, by the way. We need to get everyone together on Capitol Hill soon.
both drunk and yes, that was r kelly: "I always wanted to go down on a girl who reminds me of me."
capitol hill, yes.
lxy was our hostess, in the red check shirt and black shorts.
thanks for coming, everybody! next time i actually need to play some croquet.

Oh, alright! Lxy and Jergins, thank you so much! A toast to them and to our awesome djs!
― The Reverend, Monday, 2 July 2007 01:54 (sixteen years ago) link
jergins, better you than me @ the croquet. I rather drink and watch the chaos. Also, RAH Reverend, for the plaid shorts and WINNING the 1st round!
― Jaq, Monday, 2 July 2007 03:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Ha! Is that on the new R.? I own it, but often listen to it from the other room, so haven't mastered all the lyrics yet. I loved your set, by the way. Did Brian spin again? I wish I hadn't had to leave.

thanks. yeah, he played for a while longer and our friend josh played, too. at that point i was too drunk to figure out what was going on. i couldn't find my camera or my drink so i passed out. starting early always gets me.
thanks again people we rocked some shit

Oh damn, that song's on that Ludacris album with my current fave "Slap."

Does anyone have photographic evidence the fete?
― The Reverend, Monday, 2 July 2007 20:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I know someone was taking pictures of hot croquet action but I dunno if it was an ILXor.
― clotpoll, Monday, 2 July 2007 23:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey guys!
Thanks so much from me and the 'posse'! You made us so welcome. Dave is very pleased to have become famous for his (fluky) croquet shots.
We had a super time, the food was A+, and it was great to drift from conversation to conversation listening to people's music talk. Very sorry to have missed all the dancing.
They're keeping us pretty busy here still, but it would be cool to see you guys again before I go back to Blighty - will email if it looks at all possible.
Thanks again, you guys rock.

let us know
― Lingbert, Saturday, 7 July 2007 04:11 (sixteen years ago) link
and i guess "will email if it looks at all possible." = you will let us know, so yeah
― Lingbert, Saturday, 7 July 2007 04:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Only move here if
1) You aren't planning to drive a car 2) You don't mind taking the bus or biking 3) You will move to a spot near your job rather than commuting 4) You aren't one of those idiots who has a gas guzzling SUV. If so, you deserve to die and I don't care whether you have kids or not. GLOBAL WARMING DUMBASSES.

Chill dude, sometimes it's just people heading from California/Oregon up to visit Vancouver BC. But may I add:
5) If, when you do drive, you are extremely deferential to pedestrians and bicyclists 6) If you are wont to drive under the speed limit in the fast or commuter lane on the freeway when you do drive 7) If you think it's charming when your vehicle sprouts moss

Marilynne Robinson is giving a free public lecture at 7 pm on 8/15 at the Henry
this whole series is pretty amazing. they're bringing in writers who have written about the northwest or used it as a setting. the writer comes into a UW class (that my stepdad's teaching, which is why I know about it) and then give a public lecture later in the afternoon or evening. Lx link?
― jergïns, Monday, 9 July 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Somehow I will stagger onward into my powder-less future. Thanks for trying!
