Fango Con

[Johnny Butane]

The Creeture and I descend upon L.A. in exactly TWO WEEKS for the Fango Con. Who the hell's going? Or just wants to try and hang out?

[Smilin' Jack Ruby]

When are you leaving (to go back)? I wanted to propose a dinner-type thing Sunday night after the last bell.

[Will]

Johhny, HAM will return for the CON and will be there, I am fairly sure. I know he'd really like to see you and Creetch if it can be arranged. If not, you should meet with Jason even if it is just for dinner. Just send creetch over to my place me and she'll be fine! :D

[CTDeLude]

Someone give me info on the stinking thing and I might look into it. inbetween that and everything else going on it might be hard to make time.

I seriously doubt I'll go. Sure there's some people I've been dying to get face to face with for some time who's SUPPOSEDLY gonna be there, it frankly ain't worth the goddamn money any more...

[Johnny Butane]

So, who's going?

[Smilin' Jack Ruby]

Me!

[Johnny Butane]

Cool...wanna pick us up from the airport?

[Greg Hansen]

Well, in case I haven't made it painfully obvious...

I will be there.

[Django]

Django, MMD, and The Team WILL be on the attack. Bitches beware...

[Smilin' Jack Ruby]

Johnny Butane:
Cool...wanna pick us up from the airport?Private me the information as to when you're landing and where you're staying. I don't know if I can make it, but yeah, I probably can.

[girlcreeture]

Johnny Butane:
Cool...wanna pick us up from the airport?Just for the record, while my dearest is ever the pro-active one when it comes to making sure plans are in order, if he's whoring me out behind my back for a ride, just so you know, I don't do anal beads, enemas, or bukkake 'kay?

Oh, and uh, can't wait to see everyone!

[MADMAN]

But otherwise you're okay with it? eek!

[Django]

Well hey if Tuesday Knight does it...

[Ripley]

Everytime I try to go to one of these it's on the one and only weekend of the summer I have plans for!

Well, I'll go to Vegas and wait for the post-FangoCon report *sigh*
