Wash, DC Shore Leave 2005 July 8th-10th

I had a great time!

Here's my pics:

Shoreleave 27

 

Ok I now learned what happens after 900 years of living by the Jedi Code... pics are forth coming and are not for the faint of heart.

Lori, it was about time we meet and oh yes we need to get together on the creation of this new garrison you speak of...


Peace bond my ho English!!


Chrissy, your birthday presents were wonderful.


Sarah, your costume was wonderful and I'm glad you won a prize for it even if you were not in the contest!


Lastly to Ken & Eugenia, oh my god what did we do to the "kids"!?! And thanks for letting me crash overnight.




Hey anyone know how to get ahold of Sporkman!?!


If I have forgotton anything, I blame Yoda!!

 

I too had a really wonderful time yesterday. I think I started laughing almost the minute I got there and didn't stop till I left. I'm still chuckling over some of the stuff we talked about.

"Can you peace bond my Hoe, English" cracks me up everything, mostly with Wendy's initial reaction of the nearly losing her drink. I've already been researching how to quilt, LOL.

Wendy, I'm so happy you enjoyed your gifts! by the way, I'm only 29 too, what a coincidence!

Sarah, again, it was wonderful hanging with you and I loved your outfit. When will we see you again?

Eugenia and Ken, hilarious as usual. Thanks for offering the room. I think I probably should have stayed, the drive back was a little long. Yes, I took the wrong direction on 695. The tunnel scared me.

Joe, fun as usual *throws devil horns*

Lori, I'm happy to have met you! I'll probably be purchasing my armor bit by bit. I'll contact you when stuff starts arriving.

Yoda, that dirty old stinker.

 

WHOO HOO!!!!!!! Shore Leave was great...some of you guys missed something REALLY hilarious today in the lines..Chrissy will probably appreciate this more than most but here it goes:

Apparently yesterday Steve Bacic was making fun of one of the interpreters (Meredith) and kept asking how to curse in ASL (of course). Well one of my friend's and I went out and got a few pamphlets of ASL sex signs...we made photo copies today and gave it to Steve with our signatures and e-mail addresses. He couldn't stop laughing! So Shari went and made another copy of one of the pages and we went around and handed the pamphlets out to all the actors (since they wanted to know waht the commotion was about) and got their signatures on their favourite sexual sign/position/most descriptive of self...was HILARIOUS!

Party last night was great times...Joe you still owe me a drink and I still owe you that shirt...Wendy has cajoled me into coming down next weekend for the meeting at the very least to give you the shirt so there you go.

Chrissy I loved your present too, I wore it last night as well as today! I can't believe you made it!

Ken and Eugenia, it was great finally meeting you in person, LOVED the Mara Jade costumes! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for Dragon*Con.

Wendy, hope that hangover gets better LOL After you guys left for the diner Spat and I were still dancing at 10-Forward until we got kicked out...no pictures though oh well LOL Was some pretty fun shtuff

Sarah

 

Someone pinched my ass so hard that it left a mark. Anyone care to fess up? Sarah? Ken? YODA?
I'll bet it was that little green letch.

 

Gosh, that explains how Yoda ended up with 20 bucks tucked into his robe.

 

Yoda claims to have no memories of what happened on Saturday.

$20!?! He's holding out on me!!!

 

Yoda is a cheap tart!

 

OOH! Can I wear a fezz?

 

Ummm... no.


BTW, here are my pics, minus the infamous video because I can't seem to get that up yet.

A fez? We could be the Shriner Garrison! Tooling around in little miniature tie fighters!

 

How many freakin' garrisons are we going to become now!?!

 

The Shriner Garrison? I like it...tooling around in our tiny TIE Fighters, each wearing a fez with the Imperial cog...sigh. Wouldn't that be awesome in parades?

Or the garrisons could march together- the TIE squadron would be followed by the Lancaster County folks in their rickshaw speeder bikes and beards. How picturesque!

 

Hey if we're serious about this then I need to start making some quilts don't I!?!

 

I saw Yoda do it! I really am curious now who pinched your ass LOL Sorry to leave you hanging Joe, I was off talking with a really cute Austrian guy


Sarah

 

Sarah you ratted on Yoda!?!

 

Well he probably didn't remember doing it! In all fairness, he WAS pretty drunk! (well who wasn't?) I just remember thinking "Wow he pinched Joe's butt, I thought I was supposed to do that, dammit he stole my idea" which is why I'm ratting on him ;-)


Sarah

 

Yoda says he doesn't care who wanted to pinch Joe's butt, he got to it first!



I am in shock that Yoda would say or even do such a thing...

 

Why can't I get beautiful women to pinch my ass? It's always little green aliens.

 

The great thing about being Yoda is that with the Force, he didn't even have to get close to Joe to pinch him. This helped him avoid the task of finding out what really was under that kilt for another con. It's good to be Yoda.

I'll start hoarding hair for the beards.

It was great to finally meet you, Sarah - and I think anyone who can win a prize and NOT be in the masquerade is truly a slacker worthy of the GS.

Chrissy, always remember - the tunnel is not on the way home, but at least 695 is a circle.

And now, to look at the photographic evidence....

 

Come on you had them hanging all over you, surely one of them must have done it ;-) If I fit into that catagory, I might have done it anyway ;-)

Sarah

 

I have to admit, that is going to be one of my favourite stories from now on... also nice to know I've found a group of people who have induced the slacker within me...that's why a bunch of people told me on Sunday they were worried about me because I dropped out of the masquerade...told them I decided to hit the bar instead LOL

Sarah

 

Ok Sarah that alone should qualify you as a member of the GS!!


*Wishes there was a drinking emotioncon to put here*

 

Where's my membership card dammit??


Sarah

 

OK will someone please come up w/ a drinking emoticon??? It's just TOO relevant...
