Dlish, does that mean you'll be coming out too for more time with the Ninester?

SO - TIMELINE!

I know there are a couple TFP folks in the area who haven't chimed in lately that might be interested in coming or meeting up with us at variout points, so just going to kind of outline what's on the agenda so there's a tentative idea of where we're at and what we're up to. All subject to change depending on hangover status, Plan's smooth spot, and weather. PM me for my address and # if you don't get my blitz PM today.

I can either whip up DIY pizza dough and pizzas or the consensus is Giordanos - see above for address/info.
Games at my house.

Brunch. Cinnamon Rolls. Hangover Food.
Preferred list so far has included Ann Sathers of the Andersonville variety. ETA to be determined on how much drinking happens the night before.

Hey, wow, all kinds of planning happening of which I had no clue! Well, I know now, skinning alive will not be necessary! (Thank you amonkie for PM blitz! ) I think that I can definitely be around for Saturday dinner/games (I'll bring Taboo, it's the only one I have that's not on the list) and probably Sunday morning brunch as well. Smeth should be able to join us later Saturday night if nothing else, possibly Sunday breakfast if it's early enough. If I do stay in the city Saturday night then I'll probably crash at Smeth's temporary place, sounds like amonkie's already got a pretty full house. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I am looking forward to Saturday night. Especially a visit from this:

Fortunately we'll have the right guy in the room to deal with all the sewer vapor that's going to be produced.

So the party has begun...


What better way to kick off a voyage to Chicago than the ritual to enjoy Chicago Style hotdogs? And no place better than Superdawg.

They were kinda hungry.



Hey! Look there's 3 of us.... Lets see the count grow as the weekend goes on!



Apparently.. the Superdawg hot dog boy is Plan's Smooth Spot Twin




Making the first run for stuff.. in the picture:

Pictionary
Jim Beam (BIG BOTTLE!)
Yellowtail wine
Captain Morgans
Coors Light

Kashi
Milk
Coca powder/butter - Monkie is baking a cake tonight!

Woooo! I'm excited.

amonkie

9er and my dog have befriended each other. Dog was making such a fuss about being given a treat he decided to see what all the fuss was about.


Wow! Its a big shiny box! Sure got the dog's attention




Hmm... looking at the ingredients list. This actually sounds pretty yummy. I think I'll try one!




What do you mean I have to share?? And yes. He did actually eat the cookie.. we all had one. That dog is a little spoiled I have to say...





And the group is growing... we added 1 for dinner at Heartland Cafe.. the lovely ONO!




And just as I crawled into bed since I have to get up ridicously early, 2 of 9ers non TFP lady friends showed up. That means right now the count in monkie's apartment is 4 females.... 1 male.

I never pictured 9er as an orgy guy. Guess I deserved to have my little world-view rocked.

Never had a gander at his recently released sex tape?

(looks like a very nice weekend - if I wasn't spending my own snow day inside with my Lady you'd have to colour me jealous)

the Shindig continues.. our group continues to grow! Over the night there were 11 different people joining in on the fun. So I would say this was a lot of fun!


Doesn't Spinelust make a great dog? 9'r and I were practicing rope knots.






We must build up our energy before starting Epic Pictionary Night

Thinking about Team Strategy



None other than the Big G..



Some more of the crowd




Someone lost their face. Call us if you find it.





Shooting the shit











9'r and Jazz explaining their family tree to chat - apparently 9'r doesn't believe whatever his dad is saying at this moment.


Like Father, Like Son!



This is how Jazz spent the time.. hogging the webcam.




Meanwhile semi hostile subversive forces were taking action on 9r's toe




Pictionary Time!!!





And in this big white space here... smeth is telling the team they should draw boobs.





Some of the drawings from the night








Someone tried to cheat.




When asked how they felt about the night.... Some responses










Stay Tuned...

I still see no capes, dammit. I waved when I flew by today. And then I yawned, laughed, and played scrabble for 20 minutes and was gone again.
