That statement sounds too passive.

I take great pride in musicianship.....I may not be the best drummer out there but I'm proud of the fact that I set up, break down, tune, and play all my own stuff without any electronic help. In fact, if anyone wants to hear a song my band just recorded, head over to www.strongerthandirt.com and click 'play' at the bottom of the screen. It's just a rough mix (hasn't been mixed/mastered yet) but it was all recorded live in the studio. Enjoy!

Oh man....that stinks!! Maybe you can get dismissed for looking like a zombie because you flew all night and didn't get any sleep???

Wonder if TEH BOX is taken in NJ.

And since this comes up every so often, where is Steve GadFly? He was supposed to have his anti-ERJ plate by now.

Edit: Found out not yet via text.

I'll get to it.....I promise. Things have been crazy lately with two back-to-back vacations and lots of work travel in-between.

Gotta go run some errands. Later Box!

Wowzers.

Should be an upgrade no?

ConciergeMike Apr 23, 2010 4:58 pm

Date Night One, this is :rolleyes: Center. Hold at the outer marker and await further instructions. Receiving airfield closed for hair, makeup, and ironing.

Maybe, maybe not. 762's are what, 25 up front? Depends what equipment was on the mission.

OOOOHHHHH - details and photos please afterwards? :) If HKG makes it onto next year's itinerary, I think that's the place I want to go for. Still not sure about points/C+P/whatever in all the various locations, and I have no significant points to speak of (or status) other than SPG.

630 MCR points = 2,000 Priority Club points. Not bad. I'm nowhere near the threshold though (almost never drink the stuff myself, but I do go around scrounging caps from whatever discarded bottles the kids go through around here - there are more than a few).

Haven't killed myself or anyone else yet today. I consider that a major accomplishment. Still way too much work to do before the party, but why stop to nap now. Delusional and tired is much more fun when drunk. :D

Well done, dude. ^

I don't think we've hung out in quite a while in a context that didn't involve at least one set of parents, an airport dropoff/pickup at a painful hour, or a frighteningly looming deadline. Such is life. :D

I refuse to answer.....it may have been a pizza coma.

That thing must have been over 4 feet tall. :p Lots of superlative praise from the judges, who are all three senior/emeritus faculty at fairly big-name university music departments. I was VERY proud. :D

:-:Congratulations!!:-:

Did you compete against Vocal Adrenaline?;)(Hopefully, you watch Glee.)

From a 752, absolutely an upgrade (unless they were supposed to get lie-flat).

And I'd take a BF bird over a domestic (738/739) any day of the week. Especially a widebody.

I just noticed that Kiwi Flyer has a post count of 49,999:eek:

Neither of us leave the house in a non-presentable condition. Ever. :D

I was referring more to seat count, but yeah, agreed.

Date Night One cleared to land. I'm really leaving now.
