Monday Monday, bah dah bah dah dah dah.

I may have done that song for karaoke on Christmas Eve. I remember MTA for sure, but not that one.

Edith · « **Reply #102 on:** 02 Jan 2009, 15:19 »

Y'all settle down, we're driving back Monday. If we leave by 6 am, we can get back to Cinti by 10 or 11 pm. I hope.

I'll crash with Linds on Monday night and roll back here on Tuesday for work Wednesday.

Sound good?

Sounds good to me. I just needed to know, because they scheduled me for that Monday. So I can ask to trade that day for the following Saturday!

Is that including dropping me off?

You said it's 10 minutes out of the way, right? If so, then yes.

Cicero · « **Reply #106 on:** 04 Jan 2009, 08:08 »

Hope you guys have a fun time. Boston is trill.

If you take 2. If you take 90, i'm a good 30 minutes north. Though I could probably meet you guys in Pittsfield.

Edith · « **Reply #108 on:** 04 Jan 2009, 08:28 »

On the way in it should be no problem to come get you in N.A. On the way home, leaving you in Pittsfield might make more sense so we can get Linds home in time to sleep.

Lines · « **Reply #109 on:** 04 Jan 2009, 15:04 »

I would prefer to be home before midnight, since I have to work Tuesday. ^_^

Sooooooo, our leg of the trip. I just looked at the bus schedules and none of them have me leaving and arriving at reasonable times. (Meaning in the middle of the night or the middle of the day.) But I CAN get up to Columbus or Cleveland at reasonable times in the morning. I can get to Columbus by 8:10am and Cleveland by 11am, both on Thursday. There's also the option of me going to Indianapolis Wednesday night and getting there around 10:30pm.

Let me know what's easiest for you.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #110 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 03:59 »

Hey everyone, since this is basically in a weeks time we should maybe organize some things?

I'm getting into Boston Logan International at roughly 11:05pm on Thursday the 15th of January. Is anyone meeting me there or am I getting some kind of taxi cab to Jon's place? I feel this is the kind of thing I should know.

pen · « **Reply #111 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 05:24 »

Jon and I will meet you at the airport. Haven't figured out whether we're taking the train back or if we'll just use my car yet. The train is easier but driving is faster. We'll see.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #112 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 06:21 »

I'll pm both you and jon my flight numbers and whatnot so you know where I'll be coming out.

Prepare to be hugged.

All of you.

0bsessions · « **Reply #113 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 06:46 »

Car will be faster, but I recommend T, unless your flight ends up delayed. 11:05 is plenty of time to catch the subway back and the tolls to get to the airport are fucking ridiculous (Like $7 each way now, I think). Even if you'[re delayed by like half an hour, if we can get to South Station via the silver line before the T shuts down, taking a cab back to my place would still probably cost less than actually driving there.

Unless you've got like eight billion bags, that is. If you'[re traveling with anything less than three or four bags (Easily carried between the three of us), we'll be fine on public transit.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #114 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 06:48 »

I think between the three of us we can handle one reasonably sized suitcase and a messenger bag.

pen · « **Reply #115 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 07:30 »

That works. I'm so excited!!!

Lines · « **Reply #116 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 14:18 »

About Edith, Shane, and I, we don't know exactly what time we will be arriving, but if we were to arrive Thursday night instead of Friday morning, is this okay?

Also, I dunno what the sleeping arrangements are, but do I need to bring a sleeping bag or something?

pen · « **Reply #117 on:** 07 Jan 2009, 15:27 »

Thursday is absolutely fine, and Jon would recommend a sleeping bag. I'm not sure who gets which futon/loveseat, so better to play it safe.

valley_parade · « **Reply #118 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 07:40 »

I am NOT sleeping on that small-ass loveseat. It fucks with my spine and I have to de-compress for an hour or so when I wake up.

Edith · « **Reply #119 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 10:18 »

If Rachel can show me where to buy a few supplies when we park the cars on Friday morning, I would be happy to make breakfast for everybody.

Not if I've had insufficient sleep on a small-ass loveseat, though.

valley_parade · « **Reply #120 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 10:31 »

You're shorter than me, Eed. It might actually work out for you.

pen · « **Reply #121 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 10:42 »

There's a Whole Foods right down the street from Jon's place. I'm sure we'll find something. OR I could go to the store the night before. Make me a list, lady!

Edith · « **Reply #122 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 10:44 »

Okay!

Lines · « **Reply #123 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 12:12 »

I can help cook, too!

(And if no one wants the loveseat, I'll take it.

)

Rachel, I've never been dancing, so let me know what kind of clothes to bring, because I haven't the slightest clue.

pen · « **Reply #124 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 12:22 »

I'm trying to figure out where we're going first. My friend suggested a certain place, but they require "throwback attire" for the night we're looking to go. I think that means early 90s? I have no idea, so I'm trying to figure it out.

0bsessions · « **Reply #125 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 13:22 »

Oh god....you're not talking "My So Called 90's Night" out in Allston are you? Please say no, because I would be legitimately tempted to borrow some flannel from Chad and go to that.

Lines · « **Reply #126 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 13:36 »

That would be awesome. I can look like I fell out of the 90s.

Edith · « **Reply #127 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 14:32 »

Look like? I *did* fall out of the 90's!

PLEAAAASE, let's ALL go to this, Rachel! Please?

Tyler · « **Reply #128 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 14:34 »

I am so sad I am not allowed out on ladies night.

0bsessions · « **Reply #129 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 15:04 »

We could just sit in my apartment playing games from the nineties listening to all the terrible music we've both admitted to listening to in the nineties, if you'd like.

Edith · « **Reply #130 on:** 08 Jan 2009, 18:23 »

Rachel, I know I sent you a list but we should shop on Friday morning, don't you think? That way we'll have an accurate head count and be able to change our minds and just go out for brunch if we decide to. Y/N

Well, so did I! And yes, I think this needs to happen.

pen · « **Reply #132 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 04:01 »

I'm fine with that. I just figured the guys wouldn't have an interest in dancing, but hey, that's cool.

Also, Eed, I'll probably grab at least the basics because Jon has NO FOOD at all, and I'm not sure grocery stores will be open by the time we need to move our cars.

This is the place we'll be going to. It's got a $4 cover, from what I read, and all of the reviews are great. (the DJ boycotted the Macarena!)

Can we at least drink recent beer?

Lines · « **Reply #134 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 07:32 »

Or you could just come with us.

Lindsey, what is the saddest thing? Shane, Shane, Shane. It is a guy who will turn down the internet because they want to shake their butts.

C'mon. I'll buy you a drink. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Ooh la la. And I just bought those plaid flannel shirts, too! I GUESS I AM IN.

Lines · « **Reply #140 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 16:45 »

Yaaaaaay! I need to dig and see if I still have my NSYNC shirt... (It was from elementary school. Don't make fun of me.)

Liz · « **Reply #141 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 16:48 »

Oh man I used to have one of those. Luckily I think we cut it up to use for rags in the barn.

Lines · « **Reply #142 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 17:19 »

Nope, no NSYNC shirt. But I do have oversized flannels, cut off cargos, and those super wide leg pants. You know, the ones so wide, the bottom of the pant leg is probably as big as your hips? Yes, those pants. Yeah, I don't know why I wore those either.

Liz · « **Reply #143 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 17:23 »

Oh man do you have the ones that zip off at the knee? Or with bungee cord type things?

Lines · « **Reply #144 on:** 09 Jan 2009, 18:05 »

I have one of each. The ones with the zippers are faaar too big now, but the ones with bungee cords still fit.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #145 on:** 10 Jan 2009, 03:07 »

I'm so glad I spent most of the nineties being too young to remember it now.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #146 on:** 10 Jan 2009, 04:33 »

I spent most of the nineties wearing more or less the same clothes as I do now. So I guess that means that I'm all set for this?

Lines · « **Reply #147 on:** 10 Jan 2009, 05:57 »

Hey guys, my computer is making god awful noises because of the stupid cd/dvd drive, so I'm not going to be using it again until Monday, when I'm getting the damn thing taken out of my computer. (I'm at work now.) So if anything important pops up, give me a call/text.

valley_parade · « **Reply #148 on:** 10 Jan 2009, 07:08 »

Authentic 1990s (98 or 99ish) Birdhouse Skateboards t-shirt (that still fits?!)..CHECK.

Ok, I got my bus ticket to Columbus last night. I will be arriving there at 8:10 (there being 111 E Town St, 43215). And it turns out that I have to be at the station here by 5am to get my ticket, so I hope I'm not practically a zombie when I get to Columbus. (Hopefully, I'l ba able to nap on the bus.)
