I'm restarting this one.
Since it was brought up on the show, who's all in for this shindig?
plus where are we going to get margeritas and appletinis?
And any bets on how many drinks it'll take for Linds to pop out "the girls" and steve to drop trou? I would add Eric getting handsy but you can't drink fumes.

Are ya'll going to stay in Boystown w/ us or near the convention?
SOOO excited!!!
And I don't need drinks to show off the girls...my plan at WW is to wear a low cut shirt everyday, advertise I'm a lesbian and kiss Val a lot...we'll have so many fucking listeners just after that!! Appeal to the straight man!!
Eric, how's your guide coming along?

|
|
| Ultimate Xavior and I are looking for a homebase while there. Clean with moderate pricing for me (can't speak for UX), near the Blue line or near the road that takes you out to WWC. I have stayed in Edgewater or Rogers Park before with friends. That kind of location would work.. HELP!! |

| I'm writing a visitor's guide for y'all for the convention, and have been for the past few weeks. I'll fast-track it so you guys have something to look at regarding restaurants, bars, events, transportation, etc. Charles saw a draft of it and said that he found it helpful, so I'm hoping you all will too. |

bitch i like it D I R T Y! The more bugs and mice running across my feets at night THE BETTER!
J/K!
I've been playing on craigslist looking for what they term "vacation rentals". Cheap and safe screams HOMO-HOMEBASE to me. That rules out staying with the CBQ'ers.
Eric may be cheap but he's handsy so it's ain't safe.
Steve may be cheap but the ballgags are MURDER.
Linds... her "girls" have minds of their own thus making her neither cheap nor safe.
Brett... he's a pimp and i can't afford to bring no Christal, but if he's pastered...PROBABLY safe.
lol.
But if anyone DOES have any thoughts about cheap B&B's or stuff let me and Other Eric know.
