#OCCUPYBAR

Sadface that I can't be there. (I always say this.)

So are we doing this or what?

ATTN BOT YOU STILL GOT MY CONTACT INFO?

Gotta represent in Malta next week. Anybody else gonna be in Malta?

awesome.

it's really too bad my trip to Malta was postponed til July.

Tombot what did you think of Prometheus

I was supposed to be rolling with some other feds but GSA dickwads fucked it up for everyone, so I get to be the solo joker carrying all of our GMT-5 water out to GMT+1 country. I was looking forward to this when I put my abstract in the CFP hat, now I'm like FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKK SHIIIIIIIITTT

I can't see movies dawg, I got a 16 month old. I haven't even gotten to Avengers yet. Balkan Beat Box at the 930 this Friday though.

I wonder if my brother is going to that

sup bot man

Hi bot! Thanking u for taking care of the internets for all of americas.

hi tombot let's get our toddlers on skype with each other

how are the kitties

kitties update: Josie is retired. She gets along fine, occasionally exhibiting signs of dementia in the middle of the night but otherwise a perfectly affectionate and reasonable cat. Dr. Ben, on the other hand, seems to have lost the ability to not misbehave, as in, as soon as everybody else in the house wants to go to sleep, he thinks it is time for singing practice and/or mock interviews with the furniture. It would appear the diet food and the toddler have conspired to make his lose his tiny little mind. We'll pull through.

T'bot, get child ready for Nats' World Series run this fall

Gotta represent in Malta next week. Anybody else gonna be in Malta?

Aw that's fantastic! My old band got played on whatever the college/indie/pirate radio station is there. If you have a chance for tourism, check out the bar where Oliver Reed's Last Stand was. It's on Archbishop Street and it's just called "The Pub."

I miss your Google Reader shares... Where are you bookmarking things these days?

I am not. I read like three blogs now. on my blackberry riding the bus. It's kind of sad.

it's good to see you, tombot.

estela OTM

this is awfully indelicate but is the mother of your children a former ilxor or someone else?

dominique downer!

WHOOPS

it's good to see you, tombot.

I'll second that.

Very good indeed.

I miss your Google Reader shares

She posted on ilx like six times way back in the day because I told her you all were interesting people. then we both got distracted. hint: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431150/

I told her you all were interesting people

oh well

I have met her and she rocks.

anyhoo malta http://conference.first.org/program/index.aspx

just in the interests of open, transparent government, so you know what the $6,700 of our money is going towards. I was supposed to have a side meeting with a guy from EE GEE WHY PEE TEE but that's definitely gotten "fascinating" in the last 48

i have been to a conference at that hotel

El Tomboto, I have missed you super much

yah welcome back

I probably intend to use this thread as my internets respite from the 9-day work week I'm about to embark upon. this is going to be a trip.

an odyssey

an enchanted journey

I can only imagine a trip to Malta going down like Final Justice.

just in the interests of open, transparent government,

that was fucking exhausting

filed my Trip Report. FOIA it as you wish. CISK is not particularly good beer, but it is generally served cold and only comes it at around 3.3% ABV which is about right for the price and frankly I ought to be thankful for that statistic

So how did meeting up with the one guy from the one country go, if it went?

Oh man didn't you get to do anything fun?

did you see any falcons or templars?

it was hella stressful but I made it and I got a room with an ocean view patio.
The Pub closes early on Thursdays so all we have is a photo of the sign with the shutters down. All told, another amazing adventure for the Tombot and I managed not to get arrested and I still have a job. seriously though, representing a superpower is no fucking joke. I tried to be forthright (no good relationship is ever built on snappy patter) without sharing any official dirty laundry. Literally, because of travel budget cutbacks and previous commitments by people who weren't allowed to travel because of previously noted cutbacks, plus org chart shuffle, I got to play the roles of 5 people that week.

Next year it's in Bangkok.
