Sun, sand, beautiful people, all that stuff is overrated.

I mean, you think you can get decent Chinese food in Bermuda? Huh? Think you can catch a Broadway show on the beach? Eh? What if you suddenly get a Grey's Papaya jones? What're you gonna do then? I ask you, what are you going to do!?

Dude, go to Bermuda.

Uhm, was there a chat on Monday?
Is there a transcript for those of us who's significant others are ARG-widows (and won't let us chat when they are home)?
Thanks.

[joebrent]

The chat didn't really happen, and it really should be rescheduled soon. I was still in transit, Bags was doing his thing, and poor Rose was left Buellerizing alone somewhere in the irc ether. Sometime later this week?

[krystyn]

You were SO in transit, joe!

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Explanation:

I thought I'd have some time in my layover at Midway en route to St. Louis, so I emailed Krystyn asking if she wanted to meet up for a bite and a beer. Krystyn graciously agrees, but somewhere at 30,000 feet above the American midwest, our company manager makes us all aware of the fact that we will be landing manymanymany gates away from our next departure, so we have to rush, and that we don't have much time between flights anyway. I email Krystyn saying no go, don't take the trouble to go out to the airport... ALL the way out to the airport on the train... just to meet me. Said email goes to Krystyn's "trash" folder, which is just about right. Krystyn takes the train to the airport, wanders aimlessly for a while, emails me asking where the hell I am, I reply with phone call saying I'm at gate A13 waiting to board a 727 to St. Louis. Weeping, moaning, and gnashing of teeth ensue.

Of course, all this is compounded by my utter disregard for the aforementioned company manager's warning when I popped out of the terminal for a cig, meaning I was blithely unaware that Krystyn was probably stamping her feet no more than 20 feet away from me at some point.

[GabrielBlade]

You weren't able to psychically feel the annoyedness eminating from her? Oh, thats right, you were at an airport, place was probably drowning with it.. Heh..

[krystyn]

It's just as well - I suspect that even for someone as nice and sweet as Joe, there is still brimming anger underneath the surface over the October 1st image. I probably extended my lifespan by missing the connection that day.

[joebrent]

Oh, gosh, you're such a sweetheart -- I'm just sad I didn't get a chance to speak with you and g...oh, hell...DIE, GLITTERBITS!

Huh? What just happened? I blacked out...oh yeah, I was saying, I'm so sorry we missed each other...

UPDATE!!

[konamouse]

Ghod help me, I've gone and booked my flights.

Jet Blue was close to the best deal without much hassle and nice seat selection. Their website is pretty easy to navigate. Wasn't as cheap as the quotes a couple of months ago (I missed those $99 flights).

I'm taking a red eye from Las Vegas to JFK, just need someone to let me know what I do on Saturday morning when I arrive (in order to hook up with everyone).

[joebrent]

Well, if it's your intention to hook up with everyone, at least you're starting early.
