It would be sweet, but alas I am far away. I guess I'll just have to murder puppies.

I made it down to the Pub the last time I was in New York. Nice place, I didn't see you but there was a republicans for Voldemort sticker. The place was fun before nightfall but after sunset frat boys filled the place like vampires ready to feast on the blood of the eclectic. I can't make it this time perhaps in another 10 years.

I have that same problem. There's this continent in between California and New York... We tried to move them closer together, but all that happened was that Colorado got a crinkly.

Despite the strong desire to claim such an occasion as an emergency, we have inventory at work and attendance is expected. Being a grown-up sucks.

Perhaps... I'm off the weekend before for travel so I may not want to drive from VA to NY.

I can't think of anything keeping me away on a weekend, plus, well, beer...

10 years? Holy crap. I don't know about anyone else, but that's definitely at the top of my "consecutive strips read (active)" list.

Not that I found the site on Day 1. In fact, I can't really remember when (or, more accurately, how) I stumbled upon it. I just recall that I was still working on taking data for my thesis, and I finished that up in May, 1998.

Damn -- this is going to start a whole chain of maudlin sentimentality, isn't it?

Count me in.

And my lease is up 4/1. Don't care. Whatever doesn't get moved, my landlord can keep.

As incredibly, ridiculously awesome as that is, it's nowhere near possible for me. I live several states away (boo, Arkansas! You suck!), am temporarily without transportation and a couple years underage.

Cruel fate, why must you force me to murder puppies!?

I'm performing down the street that evening, so if I'm smart enough to head out early, I might show up.

If I have a secondary party in Sydney, could we video conference? (or should I say, video party!)

Would anyone show up for that? Syndeysiders raise your hands if you are over eighteen!

I just read Jack Shafer's article about you on Slate. Now it makes perfect sense: you've had international-league-quality pedant training.

I live near DC... a four-ish hour drive to the Peculier on the most important holiday ever devised by man sounds pretty plausible. Then again, I might be way too hung over. All things are possible.

I may actually be in Philly around then. I'll pencil it in.

I cannot get out to NY that day, so I'll kill a puppy or 2 in penance.

You are far away, else I would buy you a beer. By a happy coincidence, however, March 31 is Puppy Clubbing Day in my hometown: I shall bludgeon an adorable, helpless animal in your name!

All of this talk of puppycide is very unsettling...

I live near DC... Dude!

Amtrak.

$10 cab ride from MSG to Laguardia&Bleeker. That's *with* generous tip.

You'd be a *fool* to drive. There's no where to *park*.
