blathercon_alberta palm yea, nea? http://www.motionnotion.com A great place. 050617 ... Doar wow. i'm in! . 050618 ... palm Doar.. I secretly looked you up the other day. You're less than two hours away from me. Did you know that? 050618 ... Doar Yep. You and borealis are just 2 hours (well, maybe 1.5 hrs the way i drive). :-) 050618 ... palm And Borealis and I live across the street from each other. 050619 ... Doar so are you and borealis headed to this thing? . 050619 ... palm I'm going. Along with pete and a girl called Kate. Kate does not blather. 050619 ... Borealis I have prior commitments, sadly 050619 ... pete i hope my boss confirms my days off.. i booked them 3 weeks ago now *oi* *is not from alberta, though almost moved there 14 years ago* 050619 ... Doar hmmm....so is this the same "pete" that's going? also, is this like a rave thing? because i'm afraid i wouldn't be able to keep up (doar getting hypothermia in the general walking appendage area). 050620 ... Doar and borealis isn't going? damn. 050620 ... pete if by "pete" you mean me, whose been an off an on blatherskite for a year and a bit and currently has the big green journey envelope beside him, yup 050620 ... palm I really don't know what it's like. I know there's dancing. But I intend to do a whole lot more frolicking and wandering than dancing. 050620 ... Lemon_Soda Damn, that looks like fun. To late, though. I'd have to plan and save alot longer than I have to go. 050620 ... Doar well if pete and palm are going i don't think i should miss the opportunity to meet them. but i'll leave the dancing to the young-ins (and probably the frolicking as well, but definitely not the wandering). looking forward to it. 050620 ... palm I look forward to it also. How are you for a tent? And camping supplies? 050620 ... Doar i've got a tent and supplies but i was thinking of borrowing a truck with topper and sort of just throwing a mattress in the bed to sleep on, the reason being i'm a terrible and nasty snoring perpetrator (the truck cap probably still won't help but maybe i won't sleep either which would ease the suffering of the many for the discomfort of the one, me). i haven't done much other planning as of yet. 050620 ... palm I am tres glad you're coming. Used french for emphasis. And don't worry about the snoring. [read: I'm not afraid to smother you with a pillow.] 050620 ... Doar ! ! 0 {read: me thinking i've made a huge mistake, as i'm deathly afraid of being smothered by a pillow by "palm" while snoring loudly} :) 050620 ... nomme) i wish i could go... 050620 ... Doar i wish you could too nonme. :( 050620 ... palm nomme how far away is vernon from cranbrook? 050620 ... palm or... revelstoke. 050620 ... nomme) in summer or winter? i'm emailing you the answer... 050620 ... nomme) http://www.bcnetwork.com/distance_calculator/ 050620 ... Borealis I am chained to my own city for ten days this summer..the tenth being the last day of motion notion. though I have every intention of meeting both doar and pete, sooner or later. consider yourselves warned. 050620 ... doar smiling *considering himself forewarned and forarmed as well* well I'm a bit dissapointed now because i went to get a weekend package deal from ticketmaster and they say that the tickets have been on sale since April!!! no weekend passes were available, so i had to make due with the saturday pass. oh well, one day should give me enough time to scare the ever luvin bajesus out of everyone. RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!! 050621 ... how many knucks are Canadian? 050622 ... Doar knucks? . 050622 ... poo do you mean Canucks? 050622 ... pete i bought my plane tickets today :D 050627 ... doar ALLRIGHT! What about the ticket for the event? . 050627 ... pete palm has taken care of that 050627 ... anne-girl ahh... this looks like such fun... i'd stalk y'all there, invited or not, if i didn't live in Quebec :( 050627 ... pete i'm flying from ottawa 050628 ... Doar i'll try to find my sadly hardly used camera and take some pictures (but it's not a digital so the pictures will take slightly longer to get done). 24 more hours. oh my gosh! 050715 ... Death of a Rose couldn't find it. so i bought 3 disposables (sp?). one for me, one for palm, one for pete. only qualification is that all 27 pic's must be taken tomorrow. let's see where this takes these 3 intrepid explorers that are called blatherskites. . 050715 ... Death of a Rose ok. i was a bit late (12:30pm) but i did show up. got the blue wristband, wandered around a bit, ate a slice of pizza from the funky pickle, hung out at the top of the hill reading a book thinking that palm, kate and pete would be looking for me (didn't happen) and after having spent around 200 dollars (ticket $55, gas $50, disposable cameras $60, relaxing foldable chair $50) to sit around reading a book i could have done more comfortably at home i decided i'd had enough. so i went home at 7:00pm. i don't know what happened to palm or pete. hope they had a good time though. . 050718 ... pete :( we were down at the bottom of the hill the entire weekend. we had an amazing time, though it sucks that we didn't end up hanging out 050718 ... Really Dissappointed so you didn't even try to look for me? . 050719 ... anne-girl man, that sucks *hugs* 050719 ... . cell phones 050719 ... Doar yes i did have my cell phone on me. it's both our fault in roundabout ways. like i said i was late (simply because i'd set out and then realized after driving 30 minutes that i'd forgot to grab the ticket to the event off of my dining table). and i am the most forgetful idiot at times. i do though have photographic proof of me being there, which is getting developed today. i still have 2 disposable cameras left though. anyone want them? 050719 ... Doar :( and cell phones didn't work below the hill. only at the top could you receive and send calls. . 050719 ... pete we did much wandering around the festival itself, and thought we saw you a few times though it was never you.. we also had no sense of time or watch or anything like that... *feels really bad* we did, for the longest time, hang around the central area hoping to see you go past... 'fate is fate is fate is fate'... 050719 ... palm Yikes. Reading this made me nauseous in the worst way. I feel wretched over my lack of organization for the entire weekend. First with Kate and Pete. Secondly with you, Doar. On Saturday we drove to the top of the hill in the afternoon to drive into Evansburg. According to your times, you should have already been there. I checked my cell phone for messages at the top of the hill but there were none. By this time, things in my car were so chaotic that your phone number was missing. So I was relying on a message from you of some sort. Please do not feel like I did not look for you. In fact I had a consistent pit in my stomach that you were wandering around and we simply kept missing each other. I even told other people to keep their eyes out for a heavily pierced individual. [it is definitely not helpful that I didn't even know what you look like, nor you I] *shakes head in dismay* I'm terribly sorry I didn't spend more time making this successful. I am not sure how I could possibly make it up to you. Perhaps I will drive to you. And pick you a bunch of roses from a bush I'll plant myself. And I will learn how to properly smoke cigarettes so that we might puff a little together. I feel so wretched. 050719 ... Death of a Rose like i said palm. it was both our fault. i forgot to grab your number from the e-mail you sent, so i was hoping that you would try me on mine. i kept looking for a drew barrymore lookalike (with red hair????) but there was simply too many people. at some point i want to tour the zoo again down there, so there might be an opportunity at that time. 050719 ... palm I have platinum blonde hair. And it's short. Did you see anyone body painted? 050719 ... palm I haven't been to the zoo since high school. It's so great. 050719 ... Doar hmmm....i saw quite a few youngins with painted extremities and bodies. initially i parked right down behind the main stage. then i thought what if you were up top looking for me, so i went up top and parked right beside the security peoples tent. then it started to get way too windy up top so i parked west of the main entrance road beside a green jeep with blue windows. 050719 ... Doar and whatever you do don't take up smoking! *sternly waves hypocritical finger* 050719 ... Doar still has Farmfish in his brain i believe i'm headed to da big ole city of calgary dis coming sunday to do da whole shambizznit wid da aneemals. . 050802 ... suicidalchinadoll come again? 050802 ... Doar i suppose in a way i'm coming again. read my post on 050719 chinadoll. *admits he is a bit excited* 050802 ... pete its times like these i wish ottawa had a zoo... even peterborough has one! 050802 ... Doar ottawa does have a zoo pete. it's called parliment. 050803 ... pete that's not a zoo, its a day care :) and i see it everyday on my way to work 050803 ... Doar well that went to shit pretty damn fast. should have learned from all the other attempts. . 050810 ... Doar Maybe the old brainpan is slipping, but this would still be anticipated. . 080104 ... auburn In 2 and a half years I'll be getting married. I'll invite all blatherskites, no doubt to the absolute dismay of my counterpart, but nonetheless. And it will be a blathercon alberta. Because it will be in alberta. 080821 ... past congrats on the engagement 080822 ... auburn is not engaged. I can see why you would have thought that as per my above statement. I have merely decided that on 110611 I would like to get married. If I am not engaged by that point, I'll marry words. Either way, I'll still have a very nice party that everyone can be invited to. 080824 ... past ohh, well, words are well worth marrying. 080824 ... Doar make it a mountain marriage and I'm there. . 080825 ... auburn How very coincidental, it will be a mountain wedding! 080825 ... Doar I guess at least with "words" that the wedding vows would be easy. Unless you plan on using magnetic fridge poetry and then it would be pretty confusing. *thinks really, really hard* 080826 what's it to you? who go blather from
