<< Tuesday Neurotica | Main | And A Flower In My Mouth, Too >>

And I'll Wear Effin Flowers In My Hair!

I. Am. So. Excited!!!

Deb and I got all our travel plans for BlogHer in line today.  I arrive in San Jose for the conference a day early - Thursday at noon.  Don't really know what I'm doing all that day - probably sitting at the bar drinking mojitos and crying uncontrollably anytime I recognize a blogger.  Lord help me.

And Lord help all of you. Seriously.

Then, dumbass Deb arrives Friday night.  And then there's some conference or something. But we don't care about that part.  What we DO care about is that we're staying an extra day.  And then?  On Sunday?  Guess what we're doing?

HELL YEAH!

We're going to drive our happy asses to San Francisco and play around the city all day!  YAY!

And, of course, when I say "play around the city all day," I mean we're going to drive around and try to find a place to park so we can ask directions to any touristy things because we haven't been there before.  We won't find anything AT ALL because everyone will spit on us because I'm from Oklahoma and she's from *cough* Los Angeles, so we'll find a local pub and order a LOT of liquor. Then, once we get lost and wander into the wrong part of the city, we'll get mugged by some guy in a trenchcoat, and we'll cry a lot and try to find our way back to our car.  Then, when we get to the car, we'll realize we're both too drunk to drive anywhere, so we'll stand on the corner and panhandle for spare change so we can go to the Starbucks down the street, buy a Carmel Frapaccino, and photoblog about our misadventures, where we'll title it something like "SAN FRANCISCO FREAKING RULES WITH MY BFF AND OH YEAH P.S. WE'RE STILL DRUNK!!!!!"

I can't wait, yo.

 

T minus 23 days....and counting.

I wanna go. Bah. Oh, and no one's going to spit at you in SF, and you won't get lost. It's remarkably easy to get around. And once you're down by the bay, where all the restaurants and stores are, it's a BLAST! (Oh, and you can see Lombard Street from there.) OH! And go to Nob Hill, and see all the big, gorgeous houses.

hey, thanks for renting my blog! :D i just had to pick yours when I read that post about the Head Gripper...lol

OMG, do you need me to drive up and be your tour guide???? LOL.

Ok. I came here from Kevin's place. I met him in Chicago last month. You've mentioned a few things that are still smacking me upside the head: mojitos, BlogHer, and coffee. Not necessarily in that order. I, too, plan on doing a lot of crying. A LOT. And drinking. And getting to San Jose on Thursday. We have so much in common. Mostly, the crying right now. Then, the mojitos.

Wait. One more thing. I just read through your list of 100...errr... 92 things. When I saw you mention Eddie Izzard, I about fell off my chair. "Do you have a flag?" "Cake or death?" "Englebert Humperdinck. I just wanted to be in the room when they were working THAT one out."

OH! And this post totally reminded me of a phobia of mine... Bridges. I.don't.like.bridges. And, let me tell you, when you have that phobia, driving over the Bay Bridge is NOT FUN!!! There are sections that are still broken off from the earthquake, and they still have scaffolding on the sides. Um, no, thanks.

Who's waiting till we get to San Fran to drink? Um, hi, it's like an hour drive from San Jose. I thought Karl was coming with us?? I thought he was going to drive and guide us around and pay for our meals and drinks and buy us preety things?? And, yes, Hilly, we do need you to drive up to be our tour guide. I already have a bad feeling about us since Chase is such a slut and I am such a lush.
Posted by Deb_LA at July 5, 2006 06:26 PM

where does going topless fit into all this?
Posted by Chanakin at July 5, 2006 09:24 PM

I'm supposed to come friday morning but suddenly I'm thinking I should come a day early... convince me?
Posted by Mom101 at July 5, 2006 09:41 PM

Oh, yeah...I'll pay for everything, provided you and Deb are naked and on my lap for most of the day. Are you guys staying in SF overnight? That'd suck if we can't all drive out together.
Posted by Karl at July 5, 2006 10:57 PM

Adena - I was kinda hoping to tell people I got lost, though. That way I could dump Deb's body in the ocean and say she left with some pimp (because she's a big ol' whore) and I didn't see her since. Thanks for ruining that one. >:( Dawn! - Thank you for the space! I'm thrilled to be there. I can't promise I wont spill anything on the carpet. I'm a mess!! Hilly - I think that's probably a FANTASTIC idea! :) :) :) Karl will be with us (I think!) Mocha - HEY! We'll get along juuuust great, methinks. Meet me at the bar. I'll be the one people are pointing at and saying "stay away from that one!" (and, by the way, "it's not guns that kill people...it's maneuvers") Adena - Haha! I don't mind 'em. Have you ever driven through the Florida Keys?? It's ALL bridge! hehe! Dear DebLA, bite me please. Thanks. Love, Chase. Oh, and p.s. Stop being a slut. Chanakin - As soon as I get on the plane, the bra is coming off! Mom101 - We will discuss this where I have more room to say YOU HAVE TO COME, YOU JUST HAVE TO!!!!!!! Email on its way...commence convincing :) Karl - Nope...we'd have to stay in San Jose. We both have to leave early Monday morning. You should be fine. I'm gonna email you...

I wish I Was coming. Just to meet you, Chase, I think it would be worth it. You sound hella crazy. And why does that scene you described sound like it came from a movie?
Posted by Celise at July 5, 2006 11:13 PM

Hey! "Hi! I'm Crazy Eddie! I put babies on spikes. Do you want a rack of babies? We've got babies on racks! Mmm, they taste of chicken!" Also, Celise, I will remember that comment... When did I start commenting to your commentors?
Posted by Deb_LA at July 6, 2006 12:24 AM

Celise - I wish you were coming, too! Though, I'm really not as crazy as I act on here. I'm really a sweet, innocent little angel. *snort* Deb - Go comment on your own blog you thunder-stealer! Grrrr. "I like my coffee hot and strong...like I like my women : hot and strong. With a spoon in them."
Posted by Chase at July 6, 2006 12:41 AM

Right, well, uhm... lets just hope you aren't psychic ;) I am SO jealous of you though :( I want to meet other bloggers but I seem to be the only South African fatblogger on the planet... woe is me! *sulk*
Posted by bee at July 6, 2006 12:55 AM

Um...okay kids. So sorry to be the one to flaunt my fabulous Europeanness (sure it's a word! I typed it, didn't I??) BUUUUT...I may have just recently scored a pair of tickets to see Eddie Izzard LIVE in London. (I know...I am a bitch.) But you're the one who gets to go hang with my good friend Kristen (http://motherhooduncensored.typepad.com) at Blogher so...say hello for me, would ya? And I'll be sure to mention you to my good friend Eddie, as we sip from pint glasses and share funny stories about life in London... ((sigh)) ((wink)) ((sigh again))

"And then there's some conference or something." Hilarious. I keep forgetting about that part! I just want to meet my people.

You will have so much fun in San Fran! But take a sweater, b/c it can get windy and cool in the evening. OK so go down to the Warf and have a bread bowl with clam chowder in it from Boudins (I think that is how it is spelled)(YUM)...then go out to the pier just to the right of the warf to see the sea lions...SOO FUNNY! and of COURSE ride a trolley!
Posted by julie at July 6, 2006 07:12 AM

Chase, we'll be in the lobby with our laptops and our drinks all afternoon. So stop dithering about whether you have plans. YOU HAVE PLANS. And Mom-101 - uh...YEAH, if you can make it there on Thursday, then I certainly think you ought to! I thought you had work obligations that kept you from coming in early.
Posted by mothergoosemouse at July 6, 2006 08:17 AM

SF ROCKS! But if you do tear up the town, please leave at least a little of it for me. I'd hate to fly out to nothing but a worn-down wasteland.
Posted by Kevin at July 6, 2006 08:23 AM

Bee - I wish you weren't so far away, too! That just sucks. I'll posts lots of details and pictures that could get SOME people in trouble. I swear! :) Hill - First of all, you can't go using "Europeanness" already! Isn't there a time limit on that one?? Secondly, I hate you hate you hate you. I'd SO love to see him live! *WHAAAAA* Meany. >:( Supa - Hey lady! :) I hope your nametag is going to say "supa" on it...I'll look for ya! Julie - I will do that! I looooooove clam chowder. And bread bowls?? Don't get me started! YUM!!! Thanks for the advice! Mothergoosemouse - You know, you're absolutely right. I'll try not to be drunk before you all get there. Aaack. ;) Kevin - Don't count on anything. Deb and Karl will be with me...and you know THOSE two. I'm an angel compared to them!
Posted by Chase at July 6, 2006 08:33 AM

Ride the trolley. Street car. Whatever they call it out there. I know -- totally cheesy and touristy, and SO MUCH FUN!!! I went to SF once. Loved it. Being a tourist is a good, fun thing.
Posted by kT at July 6, 2006 08:35 AM

Oh my gosh, I was ROFL at your scenario!!!! You are so freakin' hilarious!!! And I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooojealous that I'm not going to be there to get mugged with you all!!!
Posted by ABlondeBlogger at July 6, 2006 10:32 AM

kT - I think that sounds FUN actually!! And, maybe even more fun to push Deb off of one. Hmmmm. Blondie - Heheheh! You were soooooo jealous it went past my line. LMAO!
Posted by Chase at July 6, 2006 10:51 AM

AHHAHA That's bloody hilarious and a ton of fun. Who cares about the sights. Drinking in a strange city is always the most fun.
Posted by themarina at July 6, 2006 11:16 AM

I am not one to flaunt my LAishness but I just saw Eddie live in a small theater where I sat in 2nd row. HA! See, this city is a soulless wasteland of crap but I get to see Eddie Izzard live at a moments notice! Maybe I'll stay!! HA NOPE!
Posted by Deb_LA at July 6, 2006 11:32 AM

your plans for san fran sound RIGHT up my alley!
Posted by Dawn (webmiztris) at July 6, 2006 12:22 PM

Dude. I'm even more bummed that I'm going to miss it now! I love - love - love San Fran!! Ya'll are going to have a blast!
Posted by Lisa at July 6, 2006 12:28 PM

Don't forget to drive down Lombard street when you're drunk and in your rental car:) I loved San Francisco when I visited there. Came by way of Dawn's blog...
Posted by Becky at July 6, 2006 06:13 PM

Thank you for your awesome email. I'm working on changing the flight to come in thursday... we can drink mojitos together, but something tells me we should stick with bottled beer at the Hyatt.
Posted by Mom101 at July 6, 2006 07:23 PM
