Comments on Tonight Is the Night

you're having NAME TAGS?!?! Now I'm really pissed I live in fucking misery, I mean, Missouri...

Well folks, i don't have scabies, but i can't come tonight because its right in the middle of finals. fuck, this first night would probably get more of the delicious trolls than later nights.

I love name tags. I'll be there.

Can someone please liveblog this event for those of us who can't make it? Plus, how meta would that be?

You’ll find name tags, Stranger swag, happy-hour drink specials, and Sloggers near the back of the bar.

I wasn't going to show up but I'm a sucker for free swag. Unless the name tag is being counted as swag.

Is Larry Mizell gonna be there? He's friendly, I'm scared of most of the rest of you.

I see you shivering with....

An...tici...pation.

I know I am.

Turns out I will not be able to make it. You may not be spared me next month, Sloggers. Be afraid.

kinkos will be there next month

Ah jeez, I'll be there...I was on the fence, but the promise of swag and $2 wells sold me. Kind of apprehensive about showing up alone, as I've imagined many of you as somewhat frightening people.

By the way, do the drink specials last all night? I might not show up until later on...

I agree with Hernandez - you're all intimidating... and so are nametags. But, I might still come.

We write our own name tags? Bring it on, bitches! I am the original Laughing Man!

Don't count on me to break up any fights if I stop by.

@12 - Holy shit! Are you dropping Stand Alone Complex references?!

Are they the shitty "My Name Is" nametags, or the cool "Hello, I'm" nametags? Because only on the latter can you write really hilarious descriptions like "Hello, I'm Drunk" or "Hello, I'm Your Worst Nightmare" or "Hello, I'm Hoping To Bang You In A Bathroom Stall Later".

Fnarf: How about My Name is: Original "pit bull raping" Monique?

@14: Hell yes I am.

No, it just doesn't have the conversational flow of "Hello, I'm Taking a Break From Raping Pit Bulls Just To Talk To You"

"Hello, I'm wishing I had a life..."

@17 - Awesome. Kudos, friend.

I'll be wearing a name tag identifying me as Dan Savage.

Except that we all already know what Dan looks like, NXIV, so we'll automatically know it's you.

Curses! Foiled again!

So how nerdy is this thing going to get? Power outlets and wifi? I'd rather get some work done there than at bauhaus like I normally do.

If you open up that laptop I'll kill you with my bare hands.

I would go but my girlfriend is making dinner and I am getting a spa treatment from her.

Next time?

Not unless you bring dinner and spa treatments for everyone....

@26

You son of a bitch.

I am in the don't-live-in-Seattle camp, but, ironically, will be there next Thursday. Liveblogging, or, at least, a recap of the best arguments, would be nice...

Sorry, my company Xmas party is tonight.

I'll be there next time! Provided there is a next time!

I guess that means no stealing furniture or anything, then...

Your girlfriend fits completely inside the right half of a pair of gloves, doesn't she, Bellevue Ave?

@33: You're thinking of the Kenmore massage parlor treatment, I think.

fnarf, I thought you had moved on and were no longer trying to coax me into a liason with you.

It's OK, BA, I don't want the gloves back.

Can't go! School's left me too sleep-deprived. But, I'm intrigued to her how it went.

On days like these, I wish I lived in Seattle. Maybe I can time a visit to see my relatives in Renton with the next happy hour.
