The other thing about the whole meetup situation that I thought was neat was the proposal for building their own version, which made me all nostalgic and stuff. There seems to be more and more of that going around as the suits try to stick it to their non-paying customers.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

OK. I'm in. If the ebay sale doesn't cover the shipping cost, I will hunt you down and...
...smother you in smooches.
t hopes beej is a femme, 'cuz otherwise there may be some degree of squick
Profile addy good.
eta: Get the guy's name, and anything that might legitimitize provenance of the tapes.

Gus--I ran the fellow's name (which I'm not comfortable sharing on the interbunny considering I don't even know him, despite his being a neighbor) but got no hits.
The estate sale gargoylelady was loathe to give up the tapes before the end of the sale (roughly 2 hours). I left a note for the gentleman and will anticipate his call.
Stay tuned.
Yup, I'm a chick. Just for clarification purposes, you know.

OK. If you need to bid the tapes, to close out Gargoyle!Lady, and feel good about things, I'll cover like $50 on that account.
If this all turns out bogus, of course, the $50 and the shipping are coming back to me in smoochies.
I insist on this last point.

Holy crap! Two solid months of 10-hour days, 7 days a week, to clear the Going-to-the-Sun road in Glacier National Park.
(Um. Deserved the "holy crap!" but not two of them.)

We'll have to establish the value of an individual smooch. I see some math coming on...
No worries on the bid. A) No one will even ask about the stoopid box before the end of the sale and B) Dammit, he said free. I'm holding him to it...in a very nice, quite refined way, of course.
Plus? I think there may be more than 20 tapes, on reinspection. And, if I have to speak to the guy, I can ask where the tapes came from.

Who can put a dollar value on a smootch?
Don't answer that. You will make beej seem mercantile with her affections. As for me, my smooches are $50 per bunch.
