Jeez. Am I the only one here who LIKES swimming? Don't worry; I'm not cruel enough to show up in a bathing suit. That'd be just plain mean to anyone with eyes.

Swimming. Ew.
Is it just me or is it getting a little solipsistic in here?

I like to swim.  In a pool.  I don't like other types of water much, especially if it moves.

Ah, but does the hotel have an INDOOR pool??  ::)

Butch, awesome job arranging the agenda.  Most awesome of all, of course, was getting Jim & Shannon.  Hospital or no, 2011 is starting off with a big wow in my book b/c of MarsCon... :) ;D :o
Milo, where's the Tollbooth?  Love, Tock.

I love to swim, too.... swimming pools, oceans, wherever....

But I haven't been in a swimsuit in over two years and THERE'S A REASON. No one needs to see that.

The Hotel does have an indoor pool but it's not that large. Can't do a whole lot of swimming. It's more for lounging around with your kids or friends.

i've tried to do it.  didn't work out so well on account of the terror of open water.  yeah there's a reason kittens don't go in water.

there's a bloody fireman's coat in my dinning room for some reason. Whatever could it be.

How bloody?  Are we talking punched him in the nose and ran off or slit his throat to get the ultimate costume part?
Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

Why are my lights still on?

As in the girl wearing the fireman's coat was shot in the thigh by a Red Court lackey, and she may have gotten swiped by a few bloody claws along the way, though the kevlar and chain mail lining installed by her mother prevented said claws from reaching her flesh. :D

A question for the con:

I am an amature brewer who is always looking for new subjects tasters; would anyone be interested in trying some Oatmeal Stout or Blueberry Oatmeal Stout?  They were bottled in mid December.

Why, yes. Yes, we would be.

PG and I brew, too, but we haven't had time to make anything. I'm kind of bummed, I was hoping we could bring some to the Con. It may just have to be absinthe, though.
