Bruce Mowbray: The hat has induced a trance, perhaps.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Yep, home.
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: the week went by so fast for me, I didnt even go, and havent been here either :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods. it's hard to do all the things in our lives.
SophiaSharon Larnia whispers: anything new going on with pab?
Corvuscorva Nightfire whispers an aside. "I've no idea."
SophiaSharon Larnia: (? whisper, I hit something on the keyboard)
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heheh
SophiaSharon Larnia: I get this thing with the recorder, sometimes harder to take than others
SophiaSharon Larnia: i just looked at the pab wiki and saw a retreat in new orleans, omg

--BELL--

Corvuscorva Nightfire nods...tell me if you have any ideas for place or anything.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I've never been.
SophiaSharon Larnia: holy crap
SophiaSharon Larnia: I have a few
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Corvuscorva Nightfire: well thank god.
Corvuscorva Nightfire grins.
SophiaSharon Larnia: :D
SophiaSharon Larnia: (wonders why wait for the rest of 90 seconds when she tromped on it? )
Corvuscorva Nightfire laughs.
SophiaSharon Larnia: I know the nice places in the quarter
SophiaSharon Larnia: and where to avoid
Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh good!
Corvuscorva Nightfire: send me all your best places, then.
SophiaSharon Larnia: out of the quarter too, depends on the budget
SophiaSharon Larnia: no need for transportation within the city itself
Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods...I was thinking it could be retreat for those of us in the us who were a little uh..less than wealthy?
SophiaSharon Larnia: unless you want to, but parking is awful (sneaky signs and such)
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm retreat like though
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: a dimension I didnt explore when i was there
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heh
SophiaSharon Larnia: other the voodoo shops and the like
SophiaSharon Larnia: haha
Corvuscorva Nightfire: hehehe
SophiaSharon Larnia: than*
Corvuscorva Nightfire grins. I would love to explore the city some before or after the retreat
SophiaSharon Larnia: retreat like, prob dont want to be in the quarter or around frenchmens street then, more the garden district? hmm
Corvuscorva Nightfire: voodoo shops included.
SophiaSharon Larnia: smiles
Corvuscorva Nightfire bows to your wisdom. I'm totally ignorant
SophiaSharon Larnia: there are some nice tours
Corvuscorva Nightfire: except as to history.
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: i volunteered there 3 times, a week, 2 weeks, and then a month
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods. so you spent a good bit of time there.
SophiaSharon Larnia: i spent most of my time working, but did rent a car and drove around a lot and took time off

Corvuscorva Nightfire: laughs
Corvuscorva Nightfire: it would be a full time job for any of us to keep up with all of it.
SophiaSharon Larnia: sometimes :) Things may not change for a long time
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
Bruce Mowbray: movin' on, folks. Have a good night.
SophiaSharon Larnia: good night Bruce :)

Corvuscorva Nightfire points out that SHE is way behind
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs

--BELL--

SophiaSharon Larnia: yes it felt funny saying that to you….since youre here since close to the beginning
Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles, nods. well, sorta close, anyway. but I used to read every change.
SophiaSharon Larnia: ok when I start typing sentences like that, its time for me to go to sleep ha!
SophiaSharon Larnia: i usually do actually, maybe once a day or every other
SophiaSharon Larnia: just havent
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods. yeah, it's fun to do.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: promise you'll send ideas for the retreat?
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh yes definately
SophiaSharon Larnia: the retreat aspect tho, takes some thinking
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: seriously :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heheh
SophiaSharon Larnia: I stayed in a hotel in the commercial district and I do not recommend
Corvuscorva Nightfire: no, that doesn't sound good at all!
SophiaSharon Larnia: it was a $ issue :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods...you were there for a long time at a time.
SophiaSharon Larnia: well, most of the time I stayed with a group in volunteer housing
SophiaSharon Larnia: the hotel was just one weekend with friends for jazz fest
Corvuscorva Nightfire: oh I see!
SophiaSharon Larnia: but i saw some places in extremely strategic locations :D
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heheh
SophiaSharon Larnia: and reseached endlessly for the trip before hand
Corvuscorva Nightfire: ooooo
SophiaSharon Larnia: tried to stop myself actually, can go crazy preparing too much
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods. bites her bottom lip.
SophiaSharon Larnia: haha
Corvuscorva Nightfire: it's easy to get sort of seduced by the possibilities.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: and almost as much fun as the doing sometimes.
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh yea, i had a list of everything i was going to see, even if i just had enough time to run in look and run out
Corvuscorva Nightfire laughs at the picture.
SophiaSharon Larnia: do the city on roller scates
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'm bettin there's still alot on the list, then.
SophiaSharon Larnia: skates*
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes
SophiaSharon Larnia: indeed :))
Corvuscorva Nightfire laughs at how that one word, that one meme...indeed...has been incepted into conversation at PaB.
SophiaSharon Larnia: i know i use it rl too
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heheh..me too.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I know I got it from Wol.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: "caught it"
Corvuscorva Nightfire: like a virus from her.
SophiaSharon Larnia: ah! who's is that? < -- ah :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
Corvuscorva Nightfire: hehehe
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I think I'm a carrier of all those sorts of things.
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes i put it up pretty easy too, like 'perhaps'
SophiaSharon Larnia: pick it up*
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: most of sl is like for me
Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: I saw so many graveyards when i was there, its hard not to, theyre every where, but i never saw st lewis cemetary #1 the most famous
Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: as an example of how you can miss things easily
Corvuscorva Nightfire: so next trip, that's on the list.
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs with delight
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods...yeah..but it's not always the "big" things that are most interesting.

--BELL--

SophiaSharon Larnia: and although there may be oil in the water (?) Eliza did remind me that it was doing that part of the country good, to go there
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Sophia, it's time for me to go....nods..yeah.
