Yay for Dave's safe return from Iraq!
Hey Jon, do you still need me to send you money for the Illuminations Tour ticket, or were you able to find someone else to take it?
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

We're fine, Kate. VW and Nutty had gotten tickets for the wrong trolley, but then VW couldn't make it either. So Nutty got your ticket, and sold off the two extras she'd bought. I think. In any case, it all worked out.
By the way, thanks to everyone for coming on the tour. I agree with Nora that it's not the best way to really get a good look at the houses, but it's fun to go as a group, you help support the Arts Council, you learn stuff and hopefully I point out a few things you might not have otherwise noticed. It serves as a nice introduction. That's why we give out the maps -- so you can go back and get a better look at your favorites.
I'm glad a couple of people got my Bronski Beat joke. When I told the same joke on the second tour (where no one I knew was on board), I could hear crickets.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
At least it wasn't thirty years old.

We're fine, Kate.
Oh good, thanks!

Ha! He didn't tell that joke on the second tour. Said (good-naturedly) that he didn't want me giving him crap about it again.
For those who weren't there, before the trolley driver introduced me (the tour guide), he told a joke involving Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, a priest and a hippie. When he handed the mic to me, I told the passengers that I couldn't promise my jokes would be as funny, but at least they wouldn't be thirty years old.

Absolutely- and it was fun to go as a group. I didn't mean to sound negative about it, at all. Jon, you rocked as a tour guide, and I'd love to do it again.

The Bronksi Beat joke almost killed me.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I'm just guessing.
