This can be a few things here :
A run-up to the event coming the weekend of May 26th thru the 30th.
A sporadic report from the intimate festivities.
And a place to show incriminating pics and video-clip links afterward.
So, attendance has shaken-down to just a few: Cerrita our Lead`a / Big Stoopid Me / Truck Farmer / & Crowfan . . . . oh, and some hapless random host-couple in Austin called the DePehls or something.
pre-edit -= There ! , I got this thread started . . . but I'm bizzy man !!
I'll be back to edit in more of the facts as they stand now. I've got it all in mind, but with other projects at hand, I figured I just "jot down" a thread to return to . . . . .

I'll add a personal perspective at this point. I was consistently encouraged to still attend, post FC banishment, equally by RAD & Cerrita. At first, in those numb first days post Bamming, it seemed right out . . . pointless and painful to consider going. But all my life, everytime I check, I seem to have been staying close to "destiny's path". Not only did the whole ordeal at FC bring out amazing & touching statements from 15 to 20 folks, but it also showed RAD, Cerrita & Capt.Hygiene to be real & true friends. ( and I get to meet 2 of `em soon ! ) At the same time, the number of attendees kept thinning out . . . down to a group that didn't include any who'd judge me harshly ( and uninformed ! ). This seems to go hand-in-hand with the "true friends deal", altho' . . I gotta tell ya'. . . . I'd love it if a Siamesin or Atari did pull a last-minute "I can make it afterall !!" I've always connected well w/ folks "in person" . .. . really well. It's this online world of casual judgement that was brand-new to me 2 years ago. If a couple of "those people" got a genuine / "cleared-up" impression of the loathsome Big Stoopid, would I feel vindicated ? _____ only in a sincere, warm way !! And, as I said to RAD in a message yesterday : This whole idea of coming and meeting is now becoming quite real. For me right now, it's mostly about meeting a few folks I've been calling friends , and yet have never seen nor spoken to them.You may have been into computers since, what, the late 80's / early 90's ?? , but communicating this way is still new for me. I grew up sitting across from people and , yes, speaking to them ! ( imagine ! )
And while the thrust of this for me is meeting you, Alicia / Cerrita, Crowfan and any wives you may have, I expect this MSTy get-together may do a lot to rinse away any post-banning taintings and let me enjoy the darn show again !! ( How could it not stir feelings from the past few months ? )
So I'm lookin' forward to that crap too !  |

Have fun, guys. Pretend I was able to make it. and I'm "pre-recalling" it already . . . mmm, we apparently had a blast. I see a small cozy group of 8 having intimate conversations on a wide range of . . . . wait. . . .wait . . . . something's coming in . . . . . . It's becoming clearer that the Mega-Million tickets I ain't checked yet contain the big fat-ass winner of $196,000,000. I make good on my intention of financing the Meet-Up top to bottom. . . yes . . .. . and everyone has come to a ridiculous blowout . . . . . what this ? . . . .. .ah yes, I see I have also bought out Jim Mallon and it's now become a 3 week celebration of "MST Reborn" ! cool |

Boy, it's becoming clearer to me all the time that I'm too darn "active" for this place . . .or it ain't active enough for me !  Same deal.  I haven't had to work so I'm jumping on mornin' / noon / night, plus I've still got the level of drive that the FC-Board could sustain, only I'm stompin' all over here with it. Ah well, what`cha gonna' do, huh ? Anywho , I came here to say that I was pondering how ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT I'll be in Austin, and so will Calandra, and then I thought "Hey ! that's the only 2 "involved" staffers here !!
It's like Mom & Dad are goin' outta town on a trip . . . so you kids behave while we're away !!
But we'll be checkin' in and sharing reports and pics and stuff !, so forget what I said. ( I know I have ) |

Yeesh ! I hear no-one's posting in "the other board's" Minn. Oct. Show thread . . . . this one gets very little attention . . . . and I just spoke with RAD who was in a MSTy-cluster with Calandra/Cerrita , Crowfan & Truck Farmer !!, all of whom I will be with in 24 hours, my time ! I figured with this weekend being such a big combination of newness for me ( 1st ever flight, meeting these MSTys, meeting Mary Jo ) ___ I should bust one a' those cherries and have an interaction with RAD over the phone. We've emailed near a year now, and I've had his phone # without finding the right time to get all bold & use it  . . . so I felt connecting a step further would help diffuse this big ball of newness and MSTy anticipation. The last few nights have felt like a long version of Christmas Eve !! . . . . sleeping solid ?, not so much ! But talkin' with RAD for a good 20 minutes, then having Calandra ( Mrs. Stoopid you know ) get on the phone locked me into what I'd started feeling already. . . : I'm in that 24 hour bubble and a warm Zen calm has kicked in. . . I'll finish packing tonight, sleeping better then the last few nights, and not get up late !! I'm still puzzling over why so many "other boarders" dropped out of a weekend with RAD & MJP ( ), and I await seeing if any a' y ou clowns will be checking this "live report" of a thread over the weekend. I'll have my MacBook with me and hope to have others in the room to contribute to the "updates". we shall see ! ;D ❅ ❅ ;D |

Hope you guys all have fun! And get some sleep before the big weekend. XD Oy, that hits a nerve ! Only because I felt so calm about it all being imminent and was sure I'd sleep normally. Yet I did not !( where's a little smiley for cross-eyed and sleep-wacky when I need it ? ) But no, I feel "ok" considering I awoke at 4am on 4 hours sleep and couldn't drop back off. It's been like that the past 4 nights or so . . . maybe I just became officially old this week and I'm now a codger who gets up before the birds are tweetin' ! My ride to Newark Airport is here in less then 90 minutes, so I best finish the last bits of prep, but remind me to go to "MST Dreams" later and detail the one I had last night !! Alright, alright . . . . short version : I rarely dream about those in my daily life, just how my brain feels full of reality in the waking world and accesses alternate worlds for dream fodder, but last night featured me and Phantom Engineer at some weird resort . . . . he was quite friendly and embracing. . . .at first !! I saw some promo on TV that ended with a subtle shot of J&TBs and said "Sundays at 7" ! Oh HO !! . . they're back !! Phanty encouraged me to find it on the tape while he went and took a shower or something . . . but the machine had a strange knob I couldn't control too precisely and I kept shooting right thru it, couldn't pause it . . this caused Phanty to turn on me ! ( shades of banishment ? ). That's what I remember, and I guess I hauled-off and shared the full version, huh ? Hey !! I gotta get ready cuz my friend Jimmy will be here in 70 minutes and I have to be sure to . . . . z-z-Z-z-Z-z-z |

Wow you've never flown before? I hate flying, but having Mary Jo and RAD waiting for you at the end of it a pretty great reward! Makes the inexplicable terror worth it! ;D
