Did You Worry...

... about my fitting in, here?

Weekend Recap, Succinct w/Lessons Learned

Wink is deceptively simple... for morons, apparently. If I hadn't seen this screen 100 times since Friday evening, I wouldn't have had to viciously cockpunch that old man for innocuously uttering "uh-oh" in my presence, today.  ;)

Eighth and Roast's hipster/quasi-vegan (not) biscuits are small, pricy and delicious.

Landlady felt guilty, gave me this.  :)

There are good people doing good works in Nashville. Click to, well, you know. h/t Ed.

Honda kicks major ass, forever and always, ramen.

Mormons can  be people, despite the majority who present as advanced androids with can opener personalities.

Awww, KITTEH!

Awww, HOPPY BEER!  I want the 12pk/2-flight "Deconstructed" set... brewmaster preparatory classes!

Steve is a fellow Smyrnan, rides a kickass Vespa 300ie Super and knows some awesome backroads in Roofie County. Also?  Hell of a Nice Guy, and newish friend. Here's our ride today, map junkies!

Steve and I are considering a counter-club alternative to Nashville's The Snakes SC. That would be the Volunteer Scooter Cooter Collective of Middle Tennessee. Must be age 40 or over to enter. And if your main ride is Chinese, under 100cc or pink and/or flowery, you must have a visible tattoo.  ;) Face/neck, preferably.

GoodYear is spying on me. I knew I shouldn't have started with the Michelins and the Wink mesh net.

Great Gal

GingerSnaps. Rawk.

My Youngest Nephew

Steven Cary Preston, Jr.

Awwww.

Cameraphone, I reckon... but what a cutie.

Stalker Recognition File

Here I am!
Rock you like a tropical depression!

All Hail Ivy, The Gweat and Tewwible!

She picked up Episode 2 of Healthy Chowhounds, the project I'm doing with sittenpretty.

Yay!
.

Ginger Said I Could!

Another kateo shot. That's (clockwise, from left) GingerSnaps, Malia, Holly, (a thankfully very blurry) Jeffraham, Halfdan, Steph (whose blog URL I have misplaced! is now here, thanks to the Bez), and the right forearm of Chris Wage.
.

This Is Why

... one should never hand kateo one's camera, and ask her to take snaps at the local blogger meetup. A cautionary tale.
.

Katie Lane

We actually happened upon this on our way to Steele Creek Park. It's right close to the Bristol Motor Speedway, or whatever that thang is called.

Ms. sittenpretty.

UPDATE: Isn't this a lovely photo?

.

Still, In Spite of Patrice...

We had a fuckin' good time.

You can only see half of Halfdan.

Soprano and Amie (sp?); the former being the wonderful lady what gave me a ride to work, Lo those Many Months when I was scooterless, and the latter being the wonderful lady what organized Nashville's Drinking Liberally.

Give 'em a hand! *applause*
.

ATTN: V for Virginia

Yes, I will be there. I may be early, late, or may have to leave, mid-beer (or a combination of any of the aforementioned), owing to a work commitment that is literally around the block from our chosen venue.

Hang out, have a beer with Halfdan and Soprano.

T3h Kittehs Taste Different In East TN

Mustn't gnaw on OPP...! This is Harry, the cowcat.

Funny lookin' kitteh! Razzle Basil.
.

Call Ivy Anything, But...

..."welsher" would be inaccurate, untrue and slanderous. She pays her gambling debts in a timely fashion.

Also, she's not a chickenshit, like each and every local regular Republican voter, who instead, talk a mile of shit, and only let a pipsqueak popcorn fart when challenged to put up or shut up. Fairies.

You have to admire that in today's youth. You really do.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

:lol:

Drinkin'

Short notice: Drinking Liberally, tonight! Meetin' up with Halfdan, and potential future co-workers.

Flying Saucer, behind Union Station, next to Frist Center for Video Diagno... er, Arts.

Official festivities @ 6:00 -- I'll be there somewhat before, wearing an ESS t-shirt (I came home at lunch today, to change my '70s pimp shirt, and to post this meatspace alert).
.

Happy Little Clouds

I found out tonight that a solo guitar bit I did for this guy's ending up on the final version. Dang! Stoked!
.

Ee-EE-vil Woman!

[Rhodes piano]

Can you believe this bitch is willing to pay to have a CD sent back from someone who said they'd return it, months ago? The noive!
.

NOW it CAN be TOLD

We had a wild orgy at Flying Saucer, and y'all missed some world-class, Guinness/Ripley sex. Believe it or not.

Sorry!

Gnashvegas Atriotic Meatspace Interface

SCROLL DOWN for new cat pixels!

UPDATE III: I'll be there! Looks like Soprano and nashvegasdawg will also be there, and Dr. Vola will not, and it's unlikely SoBeale will make it. Halfdan and badbadivy look like toss-ups.

UPDATE II: I'm considering canceling this one (again!) from lack of RSVPs. Dammit, people... I know, but I'm getting frustrated. So, what I did was create a "free time" calendar for all y'all. Please use it! :)

Or:

"Interfacing in Meatspace with A Gnashvillian who Is Not going to Eschacon,"

(also known as "NAMBLA")... seriously, the waitresses wear the short skirts, but it's all good.

When: Tuesday, January 29th, 2008, 5:30 p.m.-???
Where: Flying Saucer (address above, but behind Union Station, near the Frist Center parking lot; park below for, like, $2, w/validation).

Come have the widest beer selection in Gnashvegas (and a fair mix of wines and spirits), and commiserate! Smoking allowed; 21+ age, only.

All the cool alien cats drink at the Saucer.

UPDATE: Future timestamp to keep it up top.

I Keep Forgetting I Have A Webcam

Oh, there it is.

I'm having weekend hair. Need to get it sawed off, again. This is the only drawback to scootering: Helmet hair.

L.E. wants in on the action.
