The Big Ottarz

[madshutterbug]

Good days so far. Left O-town about 13:30 and arrived in St. Pete area an hour and a half later; missed most of the nasty Tampa traffic. Stashed my gear at Skippy's place (Skippy was BARFing, Kid's Day), chatted up kenshusei via cell, and then another old friend of mine (not on LJ) and went to meet her for dinner. BackFin Blue, in Gulfport, is Teh Die For seafood.

Yesterday, both of them from fatfred, and rosewildeirish and I headed out to BARF. Helped Skippy get up and running then started wandering the Faire. Checked in with them periodically if they needed help, and to drop off schwag. Also, firesmith arrived about, well, early afternoon. He and I wandered the Faire through the afternoon looking at all sorts of interesting things; firesmith admits he will never be the same... I'll let him tell his own story though.

Evening off to Crazy Buffet to celebrate someone(who shall remain nameless but who's LJ handle is rosewildeirish)'s birthday and overdose on Sushi! Then back to Skippy's where we discoverd more Ottar Debauchery underway...

If you are part of the Ottarz Mob... be afraid. Be very afraid.

There is now another Ottar as big as Fat Fred himself. He hasn't said much more than "Hoh!" but he does know all the Sekrit Ottar Pawshakes and the Rub De Buddha dance. Popper and Dredd ran into him in O-Town, I think at Wet'N'Wild, and brought him back to the hotel with them.



The rest of the gang is already off to BARF again today, but I will be heading Back to the Ranch after availing myself of Skippy's DSL network connection and a shower. Oh, and Houdini? I'll be coming home today. Should be home in a few hours.

TTFN

Am I on the Ottarz filter yet? Alas, I am on my mother's PC right now, which was built in about 1984, so I'll have to wait till I get home to see this picture...

There is NO WAY to filter Ottarz. They will Invade Yore Life. They will Twist Yore Mind. Run away while you can!

On the other hand, you are on Da Artsy Farts filter.

Yup. Me too. Glad you're home safe. And, Thank You Very Much for the Book.

I never give books away

[firesmith.livejournal.com]

unless I know that they are going home with someone who will love them.

Re: I never give books away

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

One of my favorite bits of dialog from a story or movie occurs in Out of Africa when someone is describing Denis' response to a question about a never seen individual who failed to return a loaned book to him:
"You wouldn't loose a friend over a book, would you?"

"No, but he did."

Books are precious.

[rosewildeirish.livejournal.com]

Much fun was had. :) Thanks for your contribution to it!
