As named by Nicole on another thread, and it's about time it had its own thread. Post info, threats of attendance, plans, etc. whatever here, and revive as necessary. Keep in mind that this is not merely a holiday but a holiday weekend, so I have a sneaking suspicion hotel space or whatever will be at a premium...

I think we should go to Hoboken and burn it to the ground, and then throw their tea in the river, I think that's why we have July 4th anyway.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:28 (twenty-three years ago)

i hate you all, u r all gay.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn, I didn't know you liked tea so much.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually, I'm not sure if I'll be in town now. I forgot that my friend Nick's wedding is around then. Then again, fucker hasn't sent me an invite yet...

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll come dressed up as a pirate.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:32 (twenty-three years ago)

FUCK YES NOW WE ARE TALKING, THEN WE WILL TAKE HOBOKEN.

For serious, I mean what are they going to do?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I just realised it's theoretically possible for me to go to this, I will be at least on the same land mass. The chances of me coming are slim to non-existent, but it gives me a thrill thinking that I could...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Neditee, didn't you say you may make a Boston appearance at this time?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I was considering that, yes. But I think what I'm going to try to do this time around is fly into NYC, go up to Toronto for that Canada Day thing, watch Sean and Bryan's heads flap in the breeze as they eat Kraft Dinner, then return to NYC to watch Hoboken burn to the ground after being defeated by the Dread Pirate Kearney and her minions. I would sneak in a side trip to Boston in all this if I could but I'm not sure I'll have the funds.

The mysterious neditees, meanwhile, are often found floating in pools of warm water in hot climes. They are extremely sluggish and like their leisure, but can be roused into action at points. Their cousins the manatees laugh at them, but they themselves are also extremely relaxed, the sweet buggers.

more like "Neditwee."

That is now officially vying with the Evil Cat as the best real creature ever.

are you asking to be photoshopped?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:35 (twenty-three years ago)

NED that was hilarious!

I will be either:
a) living in NYC, and hence, at the FAP or,
b) so sick of living at home and saving money that I enlist in the military.
Since I am a pacifist, I think it will have to b(e) a.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

When haven't I, Chris? ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:36 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe I can convince the wife to take a NYC trip around 7/4. The in-laws are only an hour away by train in Ct. Hmmm.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:38 (twenty-three years ago)

It's exam week that week, but they don't tell you days until Jun 6. Also I need to get a job first.

However, if Nicole's coming, I can retake the year easy enough.

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Ally don't go stealing my catchphrases!

I'm not sure if I can make it or not, actually. Word is the family might come up from Virginia for the 4th, in which case rampant partying would be impossible.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:05 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm gonna be in brooklyn most of july i think

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm pretty certain I'll be at this, yes.

― M Matos (M Matos), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

If I were to book a flight for Friday afternoon, what time would it need to arrive?

(I'd still need cash, of course)

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I love that evil cat. Will it be attending the FAP?

I also know a second-hand bookstore (around the corner from the Strand) that had a resident cat the other times I was there. ILX field trip!

I should probably bookmark this post. Whether or not I have a regular job by July 4, I will be coming up from Washington for that weekend. (What's a little more credit card debt between friends?)

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

j.lu, that cat in the bookstore, is it really big and ginger?

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:34 (twenty-three years ago)

The one I'm thinking of is big and tortoiseshell.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

However, if Nicole's coming, I can retake the year easy enough.

Dude, don't go retaking a whole year on my account! It's not even certain I would be able to go, anyway.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm planning on being in New York for half of that week, theoretically getting started on jobbing/housing stuff. But there is a very real possibility that some friends here will make me go to Ohio with them instead. I'm torn between the old world and the new.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:51 (twenty-three years ago)

discover Columbus! you'll have plenty of time for NYC

(i say this cavalierly cos i will not be there)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I intend to set sail on the 1st of July. < /iwish>

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

thats the one j.lu, i think. my mum has a picture of that cat. i will get a copy and post (its like totally huge right?)

He should have his own movie. Like Free Neddy.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:20 (twenty-three years ago)

poor ned! eaten alive by a manitee!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:23 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, yeah. The Neditee gets caught in the waters off of Manhattan around July and needs to get back home. Ally, the pirate is trying to catch the Neditee to make a neditee skin vest. If she does, everyone will blame hstencil.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:24 (twenty-three years ago)

(NB I think my girlfriend owns the evil cat.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:24 (twenty-three years ago)

i think my ex-girlfriend owns the Neditee. she keeps it in the tank in the basement. it undulates when it hears MBV.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

( laugh) That pic is so sad. Why am I thinking of a mix of grand karma and serious indigestion?

But seriously, if I can juggle my schedule, I'm there! Somehow, NYC will never be the same after we're done....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 17 April 2003 15:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned the Hutt, that photo. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

you just keep digging holes for yourself Ned.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, there's no standard representation of the God Emperor of Dune, who would be the other candidate.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Cat of Dune?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

If she does, everyone will blame hstencil.

Even tho I may be in Michigan, yeah.

― hstencil, Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, there's no standard representation of the God Emperor of Dune, who would be the other candidate.

Possibly, but then Gods always get toppled in the end by disillusioned worshippers.

I just made myself laugh out loud. Can i post it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, go on.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:24 (twenty-three years ago)

no its not a photoshopped Ned. Just the Jabba above.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:25 (twenty-three years ago)

It's all beautiful, m'friend. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:39 (twenty-three years ago)

That thing is sending me into positive FITS.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 17 April 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm afraid I will be in New England for a family reunion July 4 weekend.

Help help! I mean, rockin'. But Chris will shame all of us guys with his alpha-male LURV dancin'.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 10 May 2003 23:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, but what are we going to do? Please tell me it involves panties.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 11 May 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Panties are overrated. Commando is the way to go.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 10:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I may be able to go to this, actually.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:11 (twenty-three years ago)

!!!! Wow! That would rule! :-) You and Mike can have the St. John's reunion and reinvent emo. ;-)

...and then translate it into ancient Greek.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I would not hold you back from this noble goal.

This is the worst advertisement for a FAP ever.

Best advertisement for a FAP ever:

"Not to change the subject," he said as he did so. "But that manatee up at the top looks very unhappy. Like he has gas or some shits."

― jm (jtm), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Well that's cos he ate Raggett.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-three years ago)

im going to throw up at this.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah.

― jm (jtm), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to go. Maybe me and Sarah will completely change our vacation plans so we can do this.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

(Is this the point where I get all hstencil and type "Fuck you, Ally! Just fuck you!" Because I could, but I don't really feel a pressing need.)

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, don't make fun of that manatee. He's just calm.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey if anyone is looking into an extended NYC trip around this time I'm subletting my Brooklyn apt for the dates between June 18 - July 9th. I live on 4th Ave in Brooklyn next to a central subway hub that can take you to Manhattan in 20 minutes (if you want to go there, pfft). I have a fairly huge room with its own entrance, its own bathroom, and a door directly outside to a back patio. Email me if you're interested.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

get with the program, Meeder. Ally and I declared a truce long ago (at least, that's what it seems like to me).

― hstencil, Monday, 12 May 2003 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I know THAT. I refer directly to the glorious days of yore.

*OR*

Fuck you, hstencil! Just fuck you!!

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

so if I take offense to the latter, it means I "can't take a joke?"

― hstencil, Monday, 12 May 2003 16:06 (twenty-three years ago)

We'll think about that one and get back to you, hstencil.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

It would mean that you certainly can't take this joke, which is your right, so I hereby abandon it.

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Monday, 12 May 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone should definitely rent Tracer's place, so we can throw a monster party in it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Whatever floats yer boat, baybee.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, I think I've worked it out so I can do this...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:25 (twenty-three years ago)

i think I may possibly die during this thing. maybe i should consider not coming. ugh.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Nobody's going to die, I've already promised not to take anyone up to Riddler's, so it's all good.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:43 (twenty-three years ago)

And unfortunately in real life, im quite shy and not really like I am on here. So be prepared for me to sit in silence and awe all night.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I think the problem is that you've just not hung out with the NY crew yet.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

If you all promise not to call me mean names, I'm coming.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Dude, not only am I not calling you mean names, I actually promised to help ya'all Canadians out and have prepared get-out-of-work-free excuses, wtf?

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:14 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be on holidays, so no excuses are required. People who will get drunk with me and tell me I'm cool are the things I need.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I promise faithfully to get completely bombed and I will tell you anything you want to hear.

As I said, my room is large, and I have an Aerobed. My roommate won't mind your shenanigans as long as you buy him bourbon and don't touch his balsamic vinegar.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:28 (twenty-three years ago)

What happens if the balsamic vinegar gets touched?

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Then my hair attacks.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Are Tracer and his roomate planning to make a salad with the vinegar and your hair? Strange meal choice to serve to the ilx massive.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Just got hold of a mate's spare ticket, so I might (if luck and fare sales hold) be able to swing in. However, I humbly request space on someone's floor, as well. As I'm small, space shouldn't be a problem;>

Only if you let me play the Kinski and Guitar Wolf albums through it. Fistfights and evictions are up to everyone else in the hotel, because there's no way they can stand up to the assault.
