I wouldn't miss it! And esp. since I'd be right in the city if I DID work that day... Isn't that in a few weeks? Was that date even officially agreed to?

Not so much... its fallen on the back burner for me ever since I fuckered my shoulder up. Of course now I'm in a sling, etc etc... PM me about it.

HA! hahahahahahahahahahhaa. I used to work at a video store with a porn section (that job in and of itself has an entire forum's worth of stories, hee). When it was slow we used to snag a video and play it in the store. There were a few times we had to hit the stop button REAL quick as people came in there with their kids a lot.

Look at the Log, bitch...look at the log.

I missed this topic when it was first posted, so congratulations Julia. Whenever I make it to B-More, I'll come by your restaurant for some grub if you're working.
