You watched the stream? You couldn't miss me. I was the only one wearing black!
We had a brilliant time mixing with like-minded people, all of them smiling and eager to engage. Max's bar was hopping every night, jam sessions with all and sundry including Andy Kaufman and Steve Falconer. On the downside, the anti-UV net they had covering the audience just didn't work and I was burned to bits on the first day. We live and learn. It's a sombrero and an umbrella for me next year!
I'll join you! I saw Jeff's wife give her approval, but if I'd been her, I woulda decked him for putting me on the spot like that. I don't remember anyone in black, but I still have some watching to do. What do you think of Kaufman? Is he worth $800 bucks an hour for a consult on all things, not just medical? He lives near me, I wonder if people made fun of him for living in NYS. I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS!
They auctioned 30 minutes with Andy and as far as I recall got $1100 for it. He's a fascinating guy with knowledge of many subjects and a knack for explaining things succinctly. I'd say he's worth 800:) I'm tempted to join his fellowship. We need to be able to deal with medical emergencies without running to the hospital and on this I've already learned a lot from him.
I can't say I heard anyone slagging him for being a New Yorker, but I suppose they weren't that type of crowd.
Ok I'll give him a shot then. Given that he is somewhat local to me, he might even get me involved with an in-person community of people.
I can't wait to see you with your black clothes and your sun hat and your parasol next year. You wouldn't consider wearing white?
do you discord?
White? No! Certainly not. It doesn't suit my complexion at all:)
I do hope we both manage to get there next year. I think Jeff half expects us all to be locked down by a world war. He's offering no refunds anyway!
Edit: The only time I ever used Discord was for organising the freewrite encouragers
I was worried about that this year!
I won't be wearing white either, but black in summer is not my thing. It's too hot!!! Even in this clime!
I'm so excited. It sounds like a dream come true. Jamming at Max's bar! All those healthy and happy-looking men half my age!
Apparently, when we were there the weather was very hot, even for Acapulco. It wouldn't have mattered if you wore your birthday suit, you'd still be dying. As to the men, there were lots of hot older guys who hadn't turned into dumplings, well worth a third glance from behind one's opaque sunglasses.
I kept hearing about how hot it was there, but no one was sweating that I could see. And what about those earthquakes? DEWs or geoengineering? Oh now I'm talking myself out of going, good thing the older men were hot. Healthy is what I am most interested in. Someone who doesn't have contact information for thirty doctors stored in his phone.
I woke up in the early hours to find the building swaying from side to side. A little unnerving but I managed to get back to sleep!
Don't you dare talk yourself out of going! Aside from the earthquakes, the mosquitos and the heat, sure it's a fabulous place.
