I tried to read the first book, and put it down 70 pages in. I can think of lots more books more worthy of an HBO series. Even a vampire novel more worthy. Tanya Huff's vampire novels are fun.

I've also heard of rent parties, which can either be roomates pooling cash for a keg or a good DJ then charging X per head to get in.

VM worked the best for me it has all season, and I chalk it all up to Percy Daggs being motherfucking brilliant.
I've been a little meh on VM this season up to this week, and agree with your assessment. Last season I didn't like it so very much at first either. Interesting. Or, perhaps not.

I think that if you put a charge on an event, you should let people know what they're paying for -- food? music? drinks? -- then they have a way to gauge if it's worth it to them. That seems more like a pot luck to me. I can decide if it's worth my time/effort to be there with an entree.

I have. If there's too much lag time before the tickets arrive, I'd print out the confirmation e-mail from Expedia and take it to the airport just in case.
It's an e-ticket, so I'll be bringing some printout with me anyway.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I never take printouts with me when I fly with e-tickets. Even when my printer was hooked up. I usually have a copy of the confirmation e-mail on my PDA, but that's for my reference -- not something I show anyone.
Only once was I hassled -- the security woman told me that everyone else had showed her one, why couldn't I? I explained I didn't have a printer and she looked confused but backed off.

Most checkins these days print you out a ticket. I guess you could get through security with an itinerary and get a ticket at the gate, but... I usually get a ticket on flimsy paper at the check in counters, or prior, at home onm my crappy printer.
OK, I'm jonesing for thin mints. This is wrong. I don't like cookies that much.

Ah, ita, you have more faith in the network than I do.
It's 2C outside, but I am still refusing to turn on the heat. I do really need to put socks on, though.

Sue is crazy.
It's 67 F in my apartment, and I'm wearing 2 layer and this is just too cold.
