I Guess I Should Say I Am Sorry
Ξ May 7th, 2008 | → | ∇ ramblings, tequilacon |
I am in San Antonio for work until early Thursday and I am too whupped to really write a post today. Certainly there are a shit ton of things to talk about, mostly all the fond memories from TequilaCon that are still floating in my brain, but seeing as how so many others are recapping the festivities so well I will just apologize for giving you this little “hi!” and running. So, Hi!! (and Sorry!)
Oh wait! I have to tell you a quick story that cracked me up. My coworker and I are working the trade show reception hard on Tuesday night. we do the whole Divide and Conquer. So here we are, meeting lots of great contacts, kicking ass and taking names, when he comes up to me all pissy like. Immediately I ask what is wrong and he says he is mad at me, but “we’ll talk about it later.” Oh fuck no. You got an issue with me buddy, we will straighten that shit out now. Right. Now.
ANYhow, we step aside from the crowd and it turns out that his issue was that every time he reached into his pocket for a business card to hand to a new contact he was pulling out one of the condoms that Avitable gave out in Philly. We both burst out into hysterical laughter and went back for more new people. So thanks for the smiles, Adam. I’m glad I took your condoms. (And so is the little boy at the gas station when I was on the PA turnpike. When I went to pay for my gas I saw one and said, “Hey, if someone gave you this at a party, would you take it or tell them to fuckoff?” He got a huge grin and said that he’d love one. Of course at that point I told him to keep Avitable’s condom, to use its lubricated goodness in good health and to check out Adam’s site. Maybe a new reader?)
Several Marker’s Mark bourbon and ginger ales after the coworker condom incident and I was back in my room, finally sleeping for about 11 hours straight. Thank God! I’m off to shower, see the Alamo and get my trade show booth set up.
Wow, lookie up there. I did sorta post up there. Wahooo!

As I said before, condoms are a very thoughtful gift.
I don’t know that I am ever going to write a sufficient story about TC. I was far too busy having fun to let a post take root in my brain.

I want a condom…although I don’t know what I would do with the damned thing. I’m a eunic.

That’s awesome. I bet he makes some good contacts - my condoms are good luck.

Curse that bastard for thinking of condoms before me. Maybe I can do Pointless Drivel tampons…

Mine was sitting on my dresser next to my NY condom My cleaning lady must think I am nuts whatever
Don’t ask the people at the alamo to see the basement - they don’t think it’s funny anymore.

turn - bad news is that kentucky isn’t currently on the list until the next maker’s mark mile. good news is i plan on adding a few days to that trip!
finn - yep, i started reading everyone’s recaps and figured fuck it, there is just no way i could do the fun justice, nor can i compete with how they can keep a funny situation funny in their writings. so i am taking your advice and just being me.
hill - then i am on your tard short bus because i will have a flashback thought from the philly weekend and giggle like a school girl in front of folks who have NO fucking clue what is wrong with me.
britt - hmmmm, i just heard that you wanna break up with avitable for me! schweet. although, you just moved to florida. do you really wanna schlep your family to pittsburgh so soon? besides, addaminabitable (that’s what karl said) would have my head on a platter if i stole you.
donnie - the condoms are damn cool. avitable gave me several. think he means anything by that?
avit - well, your condoms clearly are not coveted by all. (still shaking my head that your condom was shunned. i love mine. thanks!)
fabby - your likeness on a tampon? i’m thinking i am not shoving you up my hooha. no way. i mean, what would your lady think?
libra - you have ny condoms? how come i didn’t get one? you holding out?!??!!

Why were there condoms in his pocket?
I was at a funeral with my inlaws today and every time I looked in my purse, there it was. I was afraid they would glance in there and see it, too.

Don’t forget to see the basement at The Alamo! Can you believe I’m in SF right now and NOT meeting Othurme and Jester because they’d rather see KT Tunstall? Shuh!

Ooh I LOOOVVVVEEEE San Antonio.
Go down on the Riverwalk and just enjoy for me, m’K?

shelli - i had jokingly given him one of adam’s condoms on the plane. he has 4 kids and i thought it was funny.
gwen - i’ll be in sf over the 4th of july, celebrating my birthday with jester, umb and othurme. you gonna be around then?!??!!
my favorite internet momma - last night i had MANY margaritas in your honor. damn riverwalk tried to kill me! (i totally love san antonio as well!)

All I know is the Alamo is nothing like you imagine it. I always think of it as this fort out in the middle of the dessert where you would see a lone horse rider approaching for miles and the truth is it’s right smack dab in the middle of downtown San Antonio. I wouldn’t be surprised if they added a KFC/Starbucks/Nike-Outlet combo inside of it by now.

othurme - i loved the alamo. got chills and felt overwhelmed. sure, the tourist trap aspect was there, but i am still so thankful that i made the time to check it out.
