the first is at the above location on sattiday the 15th around 8ish. I'm having a housewarming and all monkeys everywhere are invited to hijack planes and swing on by. (though i guess you could just drive if you're local...) the second is on the 23rd or 24th (soon, ALL will be revealed) at that giant UFO near LAX, featuring... *girlish squeal* ...tracicle! ooh! aahhh! yay! (such a social whirl it is out here in old hell A.) come on by, bring a banana....see ya there!

  • I won't be there, but I'll take a picture of myself in my underwear and email it to y'all, or something. Have fun!
  • You guys should just hurry up and move in together, already. /jealous
  • we're actually picking out a nice tree....
  • Oh, and duh. I'll obviously be there.
  • /gnashing teeth
  • May I suggest a nice lingerie pillow fight for the next meetup mpg?
  • *sigh*
  • next meetup mpg? Wait. There's some video of a previous meetup? /searches unsuccesfully in archives
  • I wonder how long the LA meetup lasts before tracicle gives someone "the look."
  • I'm moving out to LA this summer, so I can finally go to one of these frickin' things!
  • So, squiddy, the last straight man in West Hollywood has finally moved to what I always used to call "The Wilshire District". It should be far enough from my previously-stated area of toxic nostalgia for me to make it. Are housewarming gifts required, and can I buy mine at Wal*Mart? And, Mickey, if someone were starting a pool, I'd pick "30 seconds" myself.
  • walmart carries antiques now? wow, what do ya know. yeah, anything Louis the XIVth will be just fine, but if they're all out, then anything chippendale or L.C.Tiffany or even Noguchi if they have it....
  • I checked, sexyrobot, and W***mart is out of the Louis quatorze but they do have a limited Chippendales selection.
  • Wendell, I think you might have your wires crossed. Sexyrobot, who is much higher (or is it lower) on the kinsey scale is the one having the housewarming party. I am still holding down the hetro fort here in boy's town.
  • Ooooops... how did I read the wrong name on the post? I'm just not used to seeing a L.A.-centric thread that WASN'T started by squidranch... Considering it's sexyrobot, I guess I'll have to upgrade my housewarmer shopping to the 99 Cents Only Store. (Hey, I once saw a budget decorating show where they made a pop art sculpture out of 99-Cents-Store jars of hair gel)
  • Okay, sexbot, I know you're ignoring me now, but do you have any advice for parking near your new location, or are you going to be testing it tonight?
  • Wendell, I am about to leave for the said party, but judging from last time I was there it is pretty much a catch as catch can situation regarding the parking.
  • /gnashing teeth gnashing AND seething!
  • I have returned from n UNsuccessful attempt to get to the par-tay... Apparently, the wendellmobile is a more delicate instrument than I thought, because it apparently wasn't able to cope with bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 101 at 8:00PM on a Saturday evening and turned into a reason the traffic got even slower... (I could barely cope with the traffic myself even before the breakdown - exactly how many people did you invite?!?) The fun part was when my loose battery connection added insult to injury by shutting off everything, including the emergency flashers while I was still in the third lane. For the record, I had with me the WeaselTrek weasel (which I'd hoped would get some photo ops) AND a housewarmer for the sexbot (hint: I couldn't come up with a sexy robot, but I found a very sexy monkey - in fact, I think it was molesting the weasel when the car broke down). I even had prepared "home shoutout kits" (mini-packs of paper napkins and cheap pens). So allow me to join the GNASHING AND SEETHING.
  • Hey, that was me around 10pm (I know, way too late), at your locked front gate halfheartedly waving a banana in the air and weakly calling out hey to the folks on the porch a split second or two before deciding to flee back to my distantly parked car while I could still do so safely, your small, decorative yet functional gift in tote. I might be more chicken than monkey, and perhaps not cut out for meet-ups. But now I am tempted to look into metro/shuttle methods of getting to LAX, if only to avoid parking problems. P.S. sexyrobot, my parents lived on Reno when I was born.
  • So we've heard from two poor monkeys who couldn't make it. Where's everyone else?
  • Well, after several unsucessful attempts at making it to to my car, I was able to convince (barely) sexyrobot that I was able to make it home, which I did after hitting McDs for a late, greasy dinner. So, I'm home safe and sound. I love all you Los Angeles Monos.
  • omgpy! there's no lock on that gate...it just requires a little jigglijng....come by tomorrow.....sp kitty is still here and we're missing you and wendelll...and what happened to wendell...aliens as usual, i bet....he's always trying to make it seem a little more mundane, but we really know its the pangalactic u.n. thats keeping us from seeing him.....either that or he's my antitemporal double and we cant possibly meet ever.....but then how come he had a gift,see, when i didn't have an anti gift, see? come by tomorrow, too...... kill the president!
  • Sorry I couldn't make it. I wussed out on taking the 45 minute bus ride at 9:30 pm after I got back from dinner. I'll be there at Encounter for sure.
  • Hi Guys. I just woke up and feel surprisingly well considering what I consumed last night. Call me.
  • or don't.
  • I looked up 'squidranch' in the L.A. phone book, and found a store that sells butless six-legged chaps.
  • I'll be there. heh.
  • never mind.
