-survive Dusty McNugget, a death fan and a death cab
-2 people even got engaged!!
So, this just proves that together we can do anything. Seperatly we are pathetic.
Come join our commune. It will be lovely. lots of hippie beads, drum cirlces and tye die.
HAHAHAHA! Kristy you are hilarious.
I really did think we were going to die in that cab.
Ooooooooooooh we also got the FIRST Neily-FT pic! |

well put Kristy. Here is an example of me on my own. I just touched my forehead to discover it's bleeding. I somehow scratched myself so hard I'm oozing blood.
Though Kristy can attest to my liquid issues. At breakfast on Sunday I spilled water and tea on the mat, table, napkin, and my arm.
So at the commune can someone teach me how to drink? In exchange I will teach you how to flirt. |

I need that lesson please. Although your methods scare me.
Yes, you did have issues that morning, didnt you Sunshine?
Have we shared yet that Dusty invited you back to his place to smoke pot?

Anne, we are so alike in our clumsiness. I constantly spill liquids everywhere. You were a swimmer right? I think we are just uncoordinated on land. |

And by flirting you mean petting and touching people on the nose. |

Hey thanks Meridith. I just got in from work and saw this - you boardies did us proud!! I did notice that Andrew was hiding from the camera and Anne, nice job on promoting the gig :-) I would have peed myself laughing if the Travis guys had come into the bar for a "quiet" drink that evening!! |

WOW
I have just read through everything there now. I'm so happy you all had such a wonderful time together! Sounds like it was loads of fun and the pics I have seen so far, hilarious! Going to check out the photobucket pics when I get home and the videos ofcourse. I just haven't had time to check things out the last couple of days. :( |

LOL! That was so funny! So, what happened to Dusty anyways? He stayed after for hours! Did he meet the band or wander off into the night?
So, I'm getting ready for work now. :/ This sucks, you guys. I will be 100 percent usless today just thinking about how much fun this experience was. |

I've learned a lesson. Don't talk to non-boardies about ABC adventures. I was type/chatting with my friend in Kentucky about it and her response was:
"Man, you are ate up with it."
This cracked me up, but made me realize that outsiders do not understand about the feeling you get when Dougie smiles directly at you. Or when Fran spells your weird name correctly. |

At least they didn't ask if you've gone on some hippie jam band venture |

I'm glad I'm not the only useless one! Have I cleaned up my house yet? Noooooo. Laundry only because it's in the basement near the computer where I've been sitting every spare moment, reminiscing.
I got a good night's sleep last night and I'm almost back to 100%. I can speak. My only lingering injury is from burning the bajeepers out of my tongue on hot chocolate coming home from Cleveland. Ohio Starbucks is apparently 25ยบ hotter than Illinois Starbucks. I sipped before testing and I think I burned off every taste bud I own.
And I agree, Nikki does a great Dougie walk. |
