mookieproof: hey guys, it's 6:33. in his diary, longtime canadian prime minister william lyon mackenzie king used to keep track of the angle of the clock hands when he woke up--he thought it was an omen.
all: ...
mookieproof: i wonder what he would have done with a digital clock?

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

added up all the 90 degree angles?

― carly (carly), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:09 (twenty years ago)

oh no we are speaking different dork out languages!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

HOW MANY OF US WILL BE AT FAP I MUST KNOW.

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

ALSO WHAT TIME IS IT

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

IT IS 4:13 PM WHAT DID THEY NOT TEACH YOU TO TELL TIME AT DUCK???

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

I can't. I was going to make the 2.5 hour drive to DC yet again to go to some open houses and visit some other places & then stop by the FAP, but I'm just not up to it. I'm so tired. I'm sick of driving. Have to wait for the next one. I slept for like ten hours and I'm still exhausted.

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

7:30! 7:30!

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! wait. is this tonight?!?

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

Shut up, you already know it's tomorrow.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

ha ha I just printed out a bunch of schedules (between date and FAP I will get to take three! bus lines tomorrow) and yeah I didn't note that each of the pdfs are about twenty pages long and my coworkers are all like "bus dork WTF?" as they wait for their print jobs to come off the shared printer.

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

BUS schedules, that is. Also forgive lack of subject-verb agreement. I R an editor, you know.

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

Wait, seriously, what day is it?

― dar1a g (daria g), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

Tomorrow (Thursday).

― quincie, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

THURSDAY 7:30

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 26 October 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

WAIT IT'S NOT STANDARD TIME YET IS IT?

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 27 October 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I asked myself that question for most of Sunday. And probably will again.

I'll be at the FAP, but don't let that stop you.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 27 October 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

How will I recognize everyone?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 27 October 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Cherchez les dorks!

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 27 October 2005 02:55 (twenty years ago)

Oh, well then. I knew there was a reason I couldn't get my shit together to head to DC today.

Wait, what's that in military time plz?

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 27 October 2005 03:08 (twenty years ago)

What are the cross-streets?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 27 October 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

I think my date will wrap up around 8:30 or so (alas, my hott geophysicist has to return to his stunning wife and gorgeous children), after which I'll hop the 42 bus and join you all. Keep an eye out for an unusually tall brunette carrying a red bag filled with PRESENTS!

― quincie, Thursday, 27 October 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

Stephen, if you weren't at the FAP I actually think I'd be pretty sad.

Mary I'm not sure what the cross streets are but it's smack in the middle of the 18th St drag in dreaded Adam's Morgan (that's like what Columbia & 18th?). On the same side of the street as Heaven & Hell, a few doors down from it IIRC. You will recognize me as Girl #3 from The Magician.

In military time, that is 1930.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Thursday, 27 October 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

18th & belmont. oooh, presents!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

I am wearing black pinstripe pants from H&M, black doc marten square-toed loafers and a grey ribbed zip mock sweater. I'm Hi, Dude Generic.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

Aw, Ally.

I look like one of the guys they bring in to fill out police lineups.

― Stephen X (Stephen X), Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:30 (twenty years ago)

Oh god, I will never find parking. I didn't realize it was in the smouldering heart of Adams Morgan. I am wearing: black sweater, jean skirt, brown boots, black tights, brown plaid blazer. Will be reading: The Princess Cassamassa if arrive before everyone else.

― WORKER, Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Is j.lu here posting under a different name? If not, where is she??? Tis the season to be KNITTING.

― quincie, Thursday, 27 October 2005 13:56 (twenty years ago)

there is usually (or at least there was when i lived there three years ago) parking available on florida around v st/ontario. walk up 18th, though, rather than cutting through the marie reed center.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Sorry to distress anyone, I just haven't been posting as much on ILE these days. Although I have been following this thread. Pharmacy Bar tonight after 7:30? See you there.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

this is zack and me - we'll be there at 730 or so...

― petesmith (plsmith), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

I might try and show up to this.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm tall and look like a hurricane refugee. J-Lu might remember our encounter at the Unrest show earlier this year.

― adam (adam), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

that was a pretty great show. if only they'd played a bit longer.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Thursday, 27 October 2005 16:11 (twenty years ago)

I'm headed out of the office early to maximize pre-lecture beer consumption. See you all tonight. If you ditch Pharmacy for elsewhere before I arrive, maybe leave a note with the bartender or something.

Also: I have just received a flu shot, so if I look a little peaked just get another drink in me and I will be fine.

― quincie, Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

did dc really wait for me to leave to start being fun?
that is so lame of dc!

― carly (carly), Thursday, 27 October 2005 18:50 (twenty years ago)

Where is Flordia,I am coming over the 14th street bridge. Should I just go to V and then turn (left?)?

― posting from work, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

Florida is between Georgia and Cuba!

I apologize, Mary, for doing that just there.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

sure

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

Heh, I thought that might happen. Actually, I think I turn right on V?

― posting from work, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

nah, turn left on V

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

Okay, thanks. I will probably be there early (leaving work soon) unless I have parallel parking panic attack and end up endless circling the joint.

― WORKER, Thursday, 27 October 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Didya have fun?

― curmudgeon (Steve K), Friday, 28 October 2005 03:51 (twenty years ago)

the metro should run later
noone should be puked on "a lot"

After you drink Baron Von Munchausen's beer he waits until you go to sleep and then fires 100mph bean bags at your head for 6 hours. The more you know.
