I'm bringing a ban-hammer. What could go wrong after a couple of drinks?
. Six hours (one way) is a long drive for drinks. Maybe next time!

What the hell! Where's your dedication? Where are you at MG? I may be swinging by Austin on my travels. >> ^MarineGunrock:

I'm in Phoenix. I'll be seeing DarkRowan pretty soon, though.
I'd really like to go, but I'd have to drive Saturday, hang out there, stay at at hotel , and drive back. It'll be over $100 just in gas. >> ^dag:

LA is soooooo 1990s!
I will rape you all.
@MarineGunrock When was the last time you saw Brokeback Mountain? They drove all the way from Texas to Wyoming.
I'm very tempted to come, as it's a pretty short drive from here. My schedule is a little dicey that day, but if I can get free, I'll be there.

@MarineGunrock - I wish I knew how to quit you.

Great! I'm putting you down as a definite. >> ^Sylvester_Ink:

The "Til they kick us out" in "7p.m. til they kick us out" usually means 7:15.
wtf? no texas sift up???? you don't want to smoke a joint with me and choggie and listen to our beautiful coon ass poetry and eat our delicious baked goods??? also, we give amazing hugs.
we might be abrasive on the internet, but it's totally a front to how soft and cuddly we are on the inside. >> ^dag:

We seriously need transporter/portals, especially for me when I am disabled and don't drive.

OH BOY OH BOY! I'm IN!
And yes, this will be my last CA sift. @MarineGunrock and I will be meeting up some time after I move and the end of August. We'll have to see how many AZ sifters there are!
Yeah, I guess I have to balance out this sausagefest. LOL

Tempting. Especially the baked goods. What's the best city for a Texas Sift up and how many Sifters / permanently banished Sifters could you rustle up?>> ^peggedbea:

Eww. Avoid it!
aww shame about the timing, i just got back from amurrca.
in the fort worth area you have me, inflatablevagina, drax and alternating weekends brain is up from houston we're all buddies and meet regularly on my porch.... i also go to houston a lot... where my boyfriend (brain) and his brother are old sifters. the boyfriend would go, his bro wouldn't. choggie lives there, i bet he'd be down. also ctrlaltbleach is in htown but ive never met him. austin is smack in the middle of the two cities and has the best bar scene by far and at least four of us are usually down for a weekend trip to austin, given enough notice. oooh and geesussfreak is somewhere in the hill country area... near austin. >> ^dag:

Hmmm. My friend's wife is coming into town next Friday. Seeing how he's staying with me, it may be rude of me to ride down to OC to see a bunch of internet nerds. Will keep you posted, but I may need to miss this.
Have fun everyone going
Will @youdiejoe, @poolcleaner, @volumptuous, or @Grimm be attending? (Did I miss anyone?)
Magic eight ball says "Check again later"... I'll let you guys know one way or the other later this week.

http://www.xkcd.com/920/ and http://www.thedoghousediaries.com/?p=1242 (http://blog.xkcd.com/2011/07/04/oops/ ).
Also, can we have a live cam party?

Asians.
^Oh, you said "is". Then Asian.
Bummer...I'd be there if I could...but I'll be partying like it's 1699 in Costa Mesa that night at a Weird Al concert.>> ^lucky760:

I know, I'm just messing with you. But the real question should be whether or not they're good drivers. Sadly, no.

People think so too because I don't have narrow eyes and pale (don't go out much).
Bay Area next?

The first time I came to LA I got lost in Compton. True story. I think I saw the alley where Ricky was shot.

Sorry folks, not going to be able to make this one... Sadness.
Has there ever been a Sift-Up for the northeast region?
>> ^critical_d:

Yes, our old comrade James Roe held a Portland Sift Up a couple years back. Also, dag and deathcow got together in Alaska, but that's way northeast. Not sure if there were any others. Search Sift Talk for "SiftUp" and you should find more info.
Dang, when's the Nor Cal meet up?

Like where? In Boston? Boo to Celtics! Go Lakers!

What about YOU? I have to go through bad areas of L.A. due to work.
Can I join you guys by hangout on google+ instead of driving all the way to orange county?
Sorry or the last minute ditch but I'm feeling a bit ill and am forced to stay in. Have fun without me
WHERE IS EVERYONE? I AM THERE/HERE! OH RIGHT...

My allergies were kicking my butt/abdomen yesterday with itchy eyes running nose.
VS needs a live cam for to do it online for us! I should had built a remote robot like Sheldon Coopers did: http://videosift.com/video/Steve-Wozniak-Woz-on-The-Big-Bang-Theory ...

I don't have Google+ profile/account yet.
Any bloody lips ? broken noses ? destroyed livers ? inflated stomachs and increased brain function ?

It started to end when IssyKitty left. A while later Sylvester_Ink split. Dag and myself chatted for a while longer. A ST post with images (and maybe video) will appear soon.

It's always IssyKitty, eh? You guys should get a live cam or hang out in the lounge's chat room. I actually came in to see if anyone was there during it! Who else was there?
Dag and I were looking at the chat room briefly, but we were having too much fun to type anything.

Bah. Does your lappy have a camera for live video? [grin]
There was no laptop, just cellular telephones.

Ah. Did they not have wifi there? Bummer. I would have brought a very old lappy (PowerBook G4) and do my VS stuff (e.g., submission) there.
