Facundo:  I'll be back in town the very next day. Unavoidable tongue Definitely will be at the show on the 21st though!

Looking forward to this!

I think it's a fundamental law of the universe that I must have a cold for every 8static. BUT, my ticket's purchased, and this is happening.

This looks great. Really hope to make it out to one of these, sometime.

And:  this thread is hilarious.
I've found that it's warm on the west coast, and that the people there are nice, intelligent and attractive.
But yeah, fuck that coast!

AWWWW YEAH
I need more chip shows. I've been spoiled for the past several months. This will hit the spot.

Thanks for having your birthday party be a 5-act chip extravaganza, Carl. This was really great. Thanks to everyone else involved too, you all rocked.
