Love the Blue Liz,

Cybernet Expo is always fun, and choosing SF made it even more enticing.

Trouble is... in this town, will any work get done

Thanks, Craig! Looking forward to seeing you -- some exciting things to talk to you about

Will I get to see the vivacious Mrs. T, too?

I have a funny story about them and Cybernet Expo.

We were out there at the opening party in San Diego the 2nd year they had it there at some kind of white trash party thing.

Somehow we ended up on the deck of this thing and I had not met either the Mr or the Mrs. So I introduced myself [yeah I know its a rariety] and I thought she was being a smart ass calling herself "Mary Taint".

So I told her I had not met many taints that were so happy. Usually they were irritated or felt slighted.

Thank god she either couldnt hear me or had been drinking enough not to understand what I meant.... or maybe she was just being polite to the fat guy that she thought was being an asshole.

Later on LAJ let me know that wasnt how you said their name and told me that it was a real last name.

Nice people all around and always seem to have something new to talk about.

Heh... I'd forgotten that story Gonzo!

Liz... your pic looks like an avatar for a fantasy game!

*snort*

That's just 'cos it's all fried to hell 'n gone and I have those big ol' eyeballs starin' at you

This time next week, the blue will be gone and I'll be back the blonde-brunette you know and love!

[Hammer]

I'm still undecided but if I do get out there I doubt I'll spend much time around the convention. I spent a lot of time in SF when I was a kid and we lived in California and it's been a very long time since I've been there so I'll be like a kid in a candy store.

Oh my! Ah well, in another lifetime, perhaps.........

I am going to say "thank you," even though I am a little confused by your comment. But Mama always told me to say thank you when I thought it was a compliment.

Yes it was a compliment, brainy and attractive. Without straying into "in my day it was 5 miles uphill both ways in the snow to see Skinny Puppy" stories, I'll just say my goth/mohawk-boy days ended sometime back in the mid 80s, hence the "perhaps in a future lifetime" comment with the wink thrown in for a lame flirtation effect.

oh!

Well, in that case, allow me to give you my very best corset-clad curtsey, and say that sadly, I am having my teenage rebellion much later than I should... And ask what's your favourite Skuppy?

And to Hammer and Dirty D: Why thank you, you handsome things. Maybe by the next show, I'll be something new and fun again - I am thinking purple for the summer shows

Purple, pink, green, whatever fits your fancy... Just don't mess with the eyes.

[Robert]

Are you asking my favorite album? Sounds weak I know, but I like them all. Just depends on what kind of a mood I'm in. I do tend to like the older "rougher" releases better than the newer more polished ones. Now that I think about it, I may still have origional cassette versions of "Remission" and "Bites" around here somewhere. That whole period is a little fuzzy, but I've been told by witnesses that I had a good time.

You're still learning GonZo.

Here's another case where I can help you thru the learning curve.

GonZo buys and owns lots of cameras. He occasionally remembers to have them with him when they're needed. And on those occasions, he might even snap off a few pictures.

But dont expect to ever see those pictures. He'll never dump them off the camera. And if he does, he'll never get around to uploading them anywhere.

It's part of his gimmick.

Now, if you shame him hard enough to get him to actually upload them, then that sets in series a whole other set of often annoying events. But that's another lesson for another time.

[Hammer]

And if and when he does upload the pics they'll be so huge you'll have to scroll your monitor four or five times to get from the top to the bottom.

[RawAlex]

6) Maybe the only adult event in San Fran where guys don't have to worry about what happens if they have to bend over to pick something up.

O HAI, this is a thread about CyberNet, and not about moi?!

... whoops. *laughs* (thank you, though, everyone for the flattery :">)

SO!

Who all is going? I've never been to San Francisco - do I really have to wear flowers in my hair? Where's kickass to eat (other than French Laundry, 'cos like I can be off-site that long? Not even as much as I would kill and/or die for the Kellergasm)?

Edumacate me!

There are wayyyyy too many kickass places to eat in San Francisco to even try to list them. What type of cuisines are your favorites?

I'll hit my brother up for some recommendations, he's lived in the Bay Area for almost 20 years. He moved into the city almost 10 years ago, while attending California Culinary Academy. He worked for a number of years after graduation as a pastry chef, but got tired of the hours. Plus he doesn't deal well with authority, and executive chefs tend to be a bit overbearing.
