Coming to Seattle in late May -- Donutbitchalooza!

Or something. Point being, some friends of mine and I who all know the dear Donut Bitch from many years back decided a few weeks ago that visiting him was an Urgent and Key thing to do sometime later this year. I've talked about it with a few ILX folk as well, and this has now sorta evolved into a 'come to Seattle for a megaFAP or two over Memorial Day weekend' kind of thing.

I'm planning on going up Wednesday May 21 and staying through Memorial Day itself (May 26), and those of us in on this are plotting ahead to get hotel rooms, splitting the costs, etc. The idea of this would be meet up with all the good ILX Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia crew, DB's circle of friends, anyone else who wants to join us -- basically a big ol' West Coast equivalent to the monster get-together starting to brew for July 4 in NYC.

So join in if you can! Given DB's bad couple of days with the job interview bastardry he had to endure, I wanted to get this going more fully, both to get plans set up more quickly and also, if you can't make it, to have a thread where we get to say how cool the Donut Bitch is (and he is, you know). More about this as the time gets nearer!

ned if we are in the same room together i'm not convinced the world won't explode

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Just don't wear your antimatter wardrobe and we'll avoid creating tachyons.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:51 (twenty-three years ago)

can i wear colorforms and cling wrap?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Like I said earlier, I'm in on this. Just haven't decided if I'm going to drive or not.

― Chris Barrus (xibalba), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:54 (twenty-three years ago)

can i wear colorforms and cling wrap?

This is all a pathetic attempt to counteract Nancy's seagull love, I can tell. *hides*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 04:58 (twenty-three years ago)

UNLEASH THE FUCKING FURY

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm pretty much always here (seattle that is) and would love to meet up with any and all

― ron (ron), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Bring on the Dancing Cats with Glow-Sticks*

(a heretofore unreleased Echo & the Bunnymen demo!)

― Tad (llamasfur), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmmm...I may be in Northern California about that time - if I am, count me in.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 21 February 2003 05:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be on the coast for a few days then, the 21st, in Van and then Victoria, think i can swing thru seattle.

― anthony easton (anthony), Friday, 21 February 2003 06:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Mega-FAP, West Coast-stylee -- woo! I will be THERE.

― Jen (nstop), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Maybe someone can beam me to Seattle, seeing as I refuse to travel.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought I spilled the beans on something secret when I mentioned this recently during a chat and DB seemed completely unaware that such a meet-up was planned. I'm going to look into costs etc., and might be there. But I want lots of ILXers to show up! Like, loads!

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:30 (twenty-three years ago)

If I didn't owe my parents a trip home AND Joei wasn't singing in an opera that weekend, we'd be there like *that*. As it is, y'all must FAP like the dickens for us.

(haha trust me to make FAPping sound dirrty)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Count me in for the Dickensian FAPpery.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I just idly priced flights via Expedia out of SFO to Seattle and the same date range as I'm going for is $214 or so via Alaska, so there ya go, Sean.

Dan, just tell your parents that you'll visit them in spirit and tell Joei you'll provide a blow-up doll of yourself for the opera audience. It will cheer randomly and emit wolf whistles. Easy!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:39 (twenty-three years ago)

If I spend $214 to get there I really demand an extravaganza.

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Par-TAY. Etc. We'll just take over the Space Needle or something. Besides, there has to be some sort of glam section in the EMP. Maybe there's a cheaper flight out of Oakland?

Oddly enough, I paid only a small bit more for my OC/Seattle flight...strange.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 February 2003 18:59 (twenty-three years ago)

D'oh, I'm afraid I might be in Rhode Island that weekend!

But if not, I will be @ the FAP. :- )

― lyra (lyra), Saturday, 22 February 2003 06:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Bah, we come all this way and you have to be elsewhere! ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 February 2003 06:35 (twenty-three years ago)

damn it, I'm going to Seattle in April, not May. fuck fuck fuck

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 22 February 2003 07:30 (twenty-three years ago)

:-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 February 2003 14:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't say anything for sure before 1) I get a new job and 2) get my finances cleaned up enough to pay for such a trip (especially since I already want to go to NYC for 7/4). But I'd like to visit Seattle anyways, and this seems like a prime chance.

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 22 February 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, it's rarely a bad time for me to FAP, no matter when anyone's in town, Matos. Can you deal with being Nedless in April?

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

And I am extraordinarily shocked by all of your kindness and seriousness in all of this. I'm blushing.. seriously. :)

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 22 February 2003 18:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Nedless in Seattle...coming to a theater near you in April.

― lyra (lyra), Saturday, 22 February 2003 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

i am down for drinking whenever, as always

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 22 February 2003 21:47 (twenty-three years ago)

beforewarned, jess. The hard drinks in this town may be as much as $3 or $4!

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 22 February 2003 22:11 (twenty-three years ago)

(mmmm. visions of $1.50 rum and cokes at that one bar on 4th street in Olympia that feels like all the other bars, which all feel like biker dives)

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 22 February 2003 22:12 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

okay, so um, what's up with this?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 12 May 2003 03:18 (twenty-three years ago)

cuz anthony is buggin me about it and i need to put aside money and such

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 12 May 2003 03:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Still on in some way/shape/form. I will be there the night of the 21st and will leave afternoon of the 26th. Anthony will be in town on the 26th itself, but there is a movement afoot to swing down see youse guys in Olympia earlier in the weekend as well or something. Beyond that, vagueness still rules for the time being.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 04:06 (twenty-three years ago)

bah!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 12 May 2003 04:16 (twenty-three years ago)

:-(

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 04:16 (twenty-three years ago)

:-P

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 12 May 2003 05:11 (twenty-three years ago)

i really want to see art. can we do brunchy and then see the art musuem ?
please.
i offer money or fellatio !

― anthony easton (anthony), Monday, 12 May 2003 05:14 (twenty-three years ago)

(again, I envy you all. but I will be visiting in summer or so)

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 12 May 2003 05:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I could probably make the Oly night, and maybe Seattle too.

― chester (synkro), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Rah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

if you can't make it, to have a thread where we get to say how cool the Donut Bitch is

I think the Donut Bitch is cool. Just wanted to say that, thanks.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

i offer money or fellatio !

Who can refuse incentive like that;>? Anthony's new marketing strategy....

Cheap Beer! Women! Insomnia! Hangovers! Amnesia! All the ingredients of a good time.

Sorry I can't be there, but DB (in his coolness) will appreciate and understand...

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Aaaw shucks, guys...

Well, I found a show that week!

THE FROGS
CAUSTIC RESIN
at Graceland
May 22nd

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 02:37 (twenty-three years ago)

!!!!!

OH MY GOD WE ARE SO THERE!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 02:54 (twenty-three years ago)

(haha Ned you are doing nothing to dispel the myth that we are the same person)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

D'oh! ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 11:22 (twenty-three years ago)

So what's the tally here? Locals and visitORS...

Locals:
* Me
* Jess & Nanc?
* Jen?
* Ronny?
* Lyra?
* JS?
* Chester?

Visitors:
* Ned
* Anthony
* Chris B.?
* Chris P.?

anybody else?

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm another visitor... getting in on the 22nd, leaving on the 27th. Wouldn't mind seeing Caustic Resin either, though there may be alternate plans for me already on that night.

― martin m. (mushrush), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be painting the folx' house that weekend so the chances of actually getting up to Seattle are unlikely :(

But if you're up for an Oly dive-bar-crawl, I'll almost certainly be there.

(The image of being called "Chester" in person was suddenly very frightening. Thus...)

― chad s. (synkro), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 18:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Skipping 56 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

i can only go on monday after all.

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 07:32 (twenty-three years ago)

anthony, how long can you stay from Monday on?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:13 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, so now Saturday afternoon is looking unlikely for me, however I am free both Friday and Saturday evenings and would like to come up to Seattle to FAP if that's still on. I'd vote for Saturday, but either should work (I'd also vote for the Elysian though I've been to all but two of those places and they're all good).

Jess I don't know what your plans were but I could give you and Nancy a ride up and back, though I'd have to come back the same night.

― chad s. (synkro), Thursday, 22 May 2003 00:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Bump (a dump dump). Seattle is cozy so far, again.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 May 2003 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

aight, here's the deal. being Dead Broke, me and the lady can only really afford one get together. travel is possible (to seattle) but not preferred, and really only doable on saturday.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not a problem.. we'll trek down to Oly on early Saturday afternoon then as originally planned. Jess, do you know of any other worthy places to eat or hang out where you won't have to spend too much? The Voyeur and that Indian place are both good, but a little overpriced, me thinks.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

at some point can we have a summary of plans so i can figure out what i might be able to do :) assuming it's possible, maybe still too up in the air

― ron (ron), Thursday, 22 May 2003 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

i will get into seattle at 10 am and i will leave for van at midnite.
i dont want, for a variety of reasons, to spend more then one day there.
but i really want to see everyone.

also we are going afterwards to oly.
so what i would like, if god is merciful, and bryan is untired, is a brunch, then the art musuem, then down to oly.

also i would like homosexual sex with a latvain dwarf.

― anthony easton (anthony), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:22 (twenty-three years ago)

so that's monday right? is DB going to olympia twice? or anthony are you making a separate trip down there? i'm sure monday late morning/early afternoon hangout is no prob for me - art museum, etc

― ron (ron), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:31 (twenty-three years ago)

i am going alone, so i can snuggle with jess and nancy, i would like to think of jess's snuggling to be as soft and lovely as a wombat.

― anthony easton (anthony), Friday, 23 May 2003 00:36 (twenty-three years ago)

OKay... well here's the summary so far...

Tonight: Ned and I see the Frogs at Graceland.

Friday night: FAP dinner at the Elysian around 8pm. I will contact everyone that I can and make reservations.

Saturday afternoon: Ned and I and maybe others drive down to Oly to see Jess and Nancy.. maybe we meet the PDX KRU there?

Saturday night: ?????? PDX HOMEEZ GANGBANGIN', i suppose

Sunday day: Fremont Flea Market, hanging out

Sunday night: ??????

Monday morning: try and do stuff with Anthony and Ned. Seattle art museum/Pike Place Market/1st Ave in downtown walk?

After that, plans are like Anthony and the wind, baby.

Anthony, your chauffeur is going to be extremely tired on Monday, I hope you know. :)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:16 (twenty-three years ago)

he suggested the fucking thing, i tried to pull in tomorrow night. BRYAN DO YOU FEEL FUCKING LOVED ? LOVED LIKE A LATVIAN DWARF?

― anthony easton (anthony), Friday, 23 May 2003 01:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Anthony, you're like an aurora borealis.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:08 (twenty-three years ago)

how so?

― anthony easton (anthony), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:20 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks B

if i can shake loose friday night, i may try to track y'all down (maybe if somebody has a cell phone, email me the #??) but i'm not sure

i would be up for some hangout on sunday and the monday stuff sounds good to me. doesn't ned leave on monday? on the late side, i'm assuming.

as far as olympia, i do want to meet jess & nancy & others, but i'm not sure about trekking down there (deja vu) :(

― ron (ron), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:31 (twenty-three years ago)

how so?

Cherished spectacle from the north that can only be seen for mere hours at a time, then gone in a flash.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

(You forgot the part about fucking the Latvian midget.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:38 (twenty-three years ago)

What is this gangbanging that me and my assorted homebodies are meant to be doing?

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 23 May 2003 07:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway we need more details on Saturdayness before I will be able to gather the signatures together to move a motion to pass it from my dossier to... wait I think I'm in the wrong thread now.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 23 May 2003 07:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, Saturday may be best for more of a hang-out-at-my-place dealie?

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 08:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyway, I'm gonna make reservations at the Elysian for 8pm later this afternoon.. so just a quick ilx specific roll call here:
* myself
* ned
* jen
* martin
* JS?
* Ronny? (you hinted you MIGHT make it, and if you could it, come anytime you can :)
* PanicNow dude? (DO IT!)

Keep in mind, there are other non-ILX folks (or perhaps FUTURE ILXERS, MUAHAHAHA!) who are likely coming tonight too.. so it will be fun!

http://www.elysianbrewing.com/

..and as it turns out, they just opened up a Wallingford location, as stated on the front page.. so to make it clear.

WE ARE MEETING AT THE CAPITOL HILL LOCATION ON 1221 E PIKE ST.!

There...

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)

oh yeah... addendum to roll call...
Chad?
(add yourself here)

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:36 (twenty-three years ago)

donut beeyotch I will not be fapping tonight after all.

Though you should post the details of the Oly meetup here. I'd still like to try to make it if I get back to town in time.

thank you btw for single-handedly doing all of this organizing of festivities and the like. you are truly the most fuckable latvian dwarf camp counselor there ever was.

― chad s. (synkro), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

db i don't think you need to make dinner reservations for me (but maybe there's no harm in overshooting the list a bit) - but i am going to try to meet up with you guys tonight, at least for a little bit. it's too good an opportunity to meet certain people

― ron (ron), Friday, 23 May 2003 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I am planning on being there. So please include me in the reservations.

― JS Williams (js williams), Friday, 23 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Good.. good.. things are coming together for tonight..

As for tomorrow...
JESS, EMAIL ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER AGAIN YOU LOVABLE LATVIAN DOMINATOR YOU

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 May 2003 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess is the number one dominator.

(Currently at Rich and Maki's place, they're both in for tonight for sure.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 May 2003 21:24 (twenty-three years ago)

HAYLL YEEEEA...

Thanks to all who showed up for tonight's FAP! (Jeff, Jen, Martin, Ronny, Carrie, Ned, Heather, Brian, Rich, Maki).

I worked really hard to hire those street people to come out and entertain us outside Bauhaus Coffee, so I hope you enjoyed the show.

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 24 May 2003 07:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone e-mail with details on Oly! C'mon, at least tell me what time it's happening. I still don't know if we will make it or not, but we can't make it if we don't know when to be... well, in the greater Olympia area.

― Chris P (Chris P), Saturday, 24 May 2003 14:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Hmmm, I can't say too much other than things are kinda up in the air with Oly now... and I won't really be able to know until right before we'd theoretically leave. :(

Chris, email me your phone number again, and we can chat.

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 24 May 2003 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

i have been neducated! :)

― ron (ron), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

yo db, i just emailed you. shit is on.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Right on.

well, looks like me and the ned will be in Oly around 2:30pm... I've contacted all interested parties through email and/or phone... and you all know how to get hold of me now.. so dey it iz...

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 24 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

ok whats happening tomorrow, someone tell me.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 25 May 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait, you're going to be in Seattle on Sunday then?

Um, if you are.. come join us for Fremont Flea Market stuff...

(A, you have my number right?)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 25 May 2003 02:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and Olympia FAP went well.. :) yay Jess and Nancy, and the dude on the bike screaming "fucking NARCS!" in our general direction..

(chester, did you try to call me? Either way, ah well, we'll meet up at some point)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 25 May 2003 02:57 (twenty-three years ago)

oh i meant monday. sorry.
i did but when i tried it didnt work.
please email me.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 25 May 2003 04:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Last night was good fun -- Chris Piuma has now seen and believed re: The Pumaman. He now knows his new powers (ie, flying around dorkily...).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 May 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Allright, so I guess zee plan is to get to the Fremont Flea Market around noon or so... (I'll actually be doing laundry in the area, but it's just blocks away, so it will not be a problem.)

― donut bitch (donut), Sunday, 25 May 2003 15:41 (twenty-three years ago)

(And Brian wants to note further that anyone in the Fremont area for the flea market should just call him up on his cell phone close to noon so we can meet up properly etc.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 May 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and Olympia FAP went well.. :) yay Jess and Nancy, and the dude on the bike screaming "fucking NARCS!" in our general direction..

Yes to that! And yay for Jess and Nancy for both being hypercool good sorts, they are. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 May 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Further flea market addendum...maybe more towards 1 pm? In any event, just give the man a call. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 25 May 2003 16:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Sunday rocked it. Lots and lots of folks at the Fremont area... thanks y'all... Chris P., Charlotte, Jake Y Joanie, Jessica, Steve, Billis, Big Gay Sean, and Peter Buck, and everyone else from above!

Lots of A2A action on Sunday night with most of the PDX KRU.

Awaiting Anthony and posse in about 20 minutes or so, then some form of meal/snack combo deal to quickly follow.

Will post more details as they come!

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 26 May 2003 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

And I'm about out -- will be meeting Anthony shortly and then it's off for home. Thanks to everyone for a great vacation! :-) DB is once again the man of the hour, week, year, etc. More should be like him. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 May 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

for the record: very loose plan involves trying to meet up in/around pike place mkt and then maybe going to SAM :) 1:30-2 ish??

― ron (ron), Monday, 26 May 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Hopefully that happened! I'm home now and will commence unpacking and settling back in soon, but to all the ILXors -- Jen, Martin, JS, Ron, Jess, Nancy, Chris and the inimitable Anthony, for all that meeting the latter was far too brief a time, and indeed that grand ol' DB again, whose warmth, wisdom and attitude I do very much value coming from the dear friend that he is -- my thanks. Will be back in Seattle in December for the Squirrels' Xmas show, and maybe even sooner!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 May 2003 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

i just got home from spending the afternoon with donut bitch and pink moose. there were piroshkys (ies?), mr pibb EXTRA, knish, strip joints (well ATM in the lobby, anyway), art museum, zines, goth blocks, sex toys, and hostile drunks! (not necessarily in that order) in particular, there was no commingling of sex toys and hostile drunks, unfortunate as it may seem in retrospect.

thanks again to DB for being the 'go-to guy' for the whole weekend :)

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 00:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I
can't
believe
I
survived

damn, guys... i love you all.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 01:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry I missed you, Anthony. But hopefully another time!

Anyway, yes all, thanks for a great weekend. I enjoyed Seattle (as a city) more than I ever had before (although I still don't really like it).

I can't believe I have to work tomorrow...

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 01:54 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe I have to work tomorrow...

Le sigh.

I think I'm going to take care of bills while playing "Metal Machine Music", then doze off gently.
