While I'm at it...

Is this supposed to be taken condescendingly or jokingly? I can't tell. I know a flake a lot on this but I can't help that.

A gingerly goad because I REALLY want you to actually come one of these times because, I mean...jamspace. Last time we jammed was at Taucer's in '09! I'm crossing my fingers that you can coerce your friends this time.

I am totally set on going, though I wont have any people from around here to go with so I'll have to split a room with some OCR people it looks like. Would prefer people I've at least talked to a bit on IRC or whatnot, but hopefully I'll figure something out.

So exciting.

=D awesome, man! if i'm going, you're on my list of newbies to meet :<

I apologize for accusing you of any malicious intent, I should have known better. :<

But yes, hopefully I'll be able to come and we can all rock out like one big family. <3
