Damn you, California

It's also rather interesting that the Whore of LA doesn't understand the concept of meeting business contacts outside of a main venue.

Now, now, you haven't even arrived yet. No need to stereotype yourself so soon.

That's probably the lamest comeback you've attempted... other than your books.

You get what you deserve.

If you have time between all of your important meetings, are you meeting anybody from here or TBBS? I know you'd never have the courage to meet me face to face, but I figured you and KIRK would probably hook up.

Still on for meeting up when I get there, garamet? What part of LA are you in?

Santa Monica. Not too far from LAX, if that's where you're arriving. When will you be here?

I would never meet you alone, but I would be happy to meet you with Kirk if he is available.

Need him to hold your hand?

Seriously, that would be a fantastic idea. Will you ask him?

LA is a great big freeway. Put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star.

Paging KIRK1ADM...

No tricks, no strings, just a RL meetup. You did it once. Would you be willing to do it again for Poodle?

I'd have to drive/fly/walk several thousand miles, but one day I'd love to see California.

J.

Dunno exactly - probably in October. We could get Kirk to go as well.

I'll let you hitch a ride with me. I've got to get out there someday to visit my son. I was planning a plane ride, but I can always drive.

Bump.

You and KIRK sitting across the table from each other having a drink and chatting? That would be like matter and anti-matter. We could sell tickets!

Thanks for bumping this, Poodle. Maybe KIRK will respond. When will you be out here?

And J. Allen, someday you'll have your beach to walk on.

I arrive late the 18th. I am attending seminars all day the 19th, and hope to spend most of the business day at my supplier's warehouse on the 20th. I leave early on the 21st.

The one day I would like to get to bed before 10:30 is the 18th, as I want to get all I can out of the next day's seminar. I spend anywhere between 10 and 19,000 a month on online advertising, and this microsoft course should help me maximize that.

Well, I tell you what. If you can get KIRK to come along (though you're welcome to come on your own) and find your way to the Santa Monica Pier at any time during your stay here, there's good eatin' at Rusty's Surf Ranch.

I'd get a kick out of meeting you in person.

Personally, I would not enjoy it. I find you belittling, dishonest, and truly disgusting.

You are a uncouth ruffian of ill-breeding, a fact that is readily apparent to all who are introduced to you.

Now cease your blathering or I will be forced to trounce you.

In other words, you're weaseling out. As I expected.

Flaming pink bondage poodle says that in that case you will enjoy it!

I agreed to meet with you. I then said I don't think I will enjoy it. How is that weaseling out? Are you planning on me not coming or something? Sounds like you're weaseling out.

I guess I misunderstood you. Most people don't go out of their way to do things they don't enjoy. And since you set a provision from the beginning that you'd only meet with me if KIRK tagged along, that suggested reluctance, if not a little fear.

Or perhaps just your assumption that KIRK would never tag along, which would give you an automatic out.

I'd appreciate a clarification.

My clarification: If it sucks talking to you, I can talk to Kirk. I will go if Kirk goes. I don't "owe you" a dinner or my presence.

Characteristically, your post is riddled with false assumptions, but your courage is obvious.

I think you two need to get a room.
