# that would be me

# i thought it was you
sneak in!
would be nice to have local b3tans...
i work right on mass ave, about a stone's throw (with a good arm) from harvard square.

what brought you this way?

# have a friend who goes to MIT
and my boyfriend and I wanted an excuse to go, so we just took off semi-spontaneously
and I am semi-local, compared to the other Amerib3tans :)

# true enough
Amerib3tans seem to have several hundred miles between them, at the very least.

makes it very hard to have a proper bash.
*sigh*

# I've been trying to think of somewhere
that's convenient for everyone, but it just doesn't exist.
Someone suggested Philadelphia a while back, I think that's the best idea so far.

# wow
that is quite possibly true, in a very depressing kind of way, if you know what i mean.

# Yup.
This AmeriB3tan lives in Canada.

:(



To make it worse, I used to live in Manchester before I found B3ta, so I see all the bashes I *could* have gone to.

# yikes
I'd be bitter

# we'll have to...
addend the term to "North Amerib3tans".
to be more inclusive.
although it still won't change the fact that we are all at least several hours of travel from each other.

# EVS is in Philly
about a 45 minute drive from me, but that's as close as we get, I think.

# i've heard rumor that
"sosumi" is a fellow bostonian and he and/or she (but i think he) claims there might be a couple more.

# hm, I wouldn't mind having an excuse to go back to Boston
if there are several of you there, that would be a perfect reason

# hmmm, even better
if you have a friend to mooch off of when in the area!

# are you volunteering?

# edit: not intentionally
but you mentioned an MIT person you were visiting.

but hey, i may have a couch to spare.

# oh, heh
of course :)
sorry 'bout that.
we just had a hotel when we were there, as said friend has a roomate and no couple-compatible guest accomidations.
(KnitWit, Wed 9 Jul 2003, 3:29, archived)
# oh i see
no proper mooching then.
well anyway, we may have the beginnings of the inklings of a hint of a plan.
we will talk more on this at a later time as i have to be up in increasingly few hours and intend to pass out in a second.

right....now.

# heh,
Northamerib3tans sounds good. I'm in southwestern Ontario which is closer to most parts of the states, than, well, most parts of the states.


Still a long bloody way away for a bash though.

# IT
WILL BE HAVE TO BE SUCH A DAMNED GOOD BASH THAT IT CAN ONLY BE WRITTEN ABOUT IN ALL CAPS, IT WAS THAT DAMN GOOD!
