p.s. i am bringing anzacs instead of hokey pokey as mentioned earlier up thread because 1. anzac biscuits are better 2. my hokey pokey biscuits were a huge FAIL 3. and if you like brownies i will also bring a pan of my AMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAZING VEGAN BROWNIES. yes.

― estela, Sunday, 15 May 2011 05:15 (twelve years ago) link
ruby. is it time yet?
― lxy, Monday, 16 May 2011 20:58 (twelve years ago) link

now?
― lxy, Thursday, 19 May 2011 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
really really soon!
p.s. i'm worried about the baked goodies getting stale - the latest i can bake them is saturday, and we won't be in seattle till thursday... will they be gross by then?? i don't have much experience in this area, bc baked treats usuallly only last 2 days max in our house
― smoove operator, Friday, 20 May 2011 03:10 (twelve years ago) link
anzac biscuits were purposely designed to not go stale, during WWII women in nz and australia used to bake them and mail them to the troops in europe who sometimes wouldn't get them until months later.
― estela, Friday, 20 May 2011 09:55 (twelve years ago) link
i can't vouch for the brownies though.
― estela, Friday, 20 May 2011 09:56 (twelve years ago) link
so ruby, if you can't resist digging in during the trip, go for the brownies first, since they're an unknown.
― lxy, Friday, 20 May 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
and since i've never had an anzac biscuit.
Is Friday still okay for general free-for-all-bbq-madness at Jaq's house? b/c I will send out a pile of invites if so.
― jaq, Friday, 20 May 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
yes i think i will make a double batch of anzacs instead - i mean, my vegan brownies are fab, but you can get brownies all over the place.
friday bbq is still good for me!
― smoove operator, Friday, 20 May 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
Invites sent! (Plz forward to anyone I missed)
― jaq, Saturday, 21 May 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link

― smoove operator, Saturday, 21 May 2011 00:40 (twelve years ago) link

― jaq, Saturday, 21 May 2011 02:21 (twelve years ago) link
ruby, sorry you're hurting. you get here, i'll hook you up with some painkillers.
― lxy, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 04:07 (twelve years ago) link
we're in portland!!! not long now!!! AND OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE IT: WE HAVEN'T EATEN EVEN ONE OF THE ANZACS!!!!
ok so i had a pretty big cry last night and today bc i was in such excruciating pain and nothing was working and it seemed to be getting worse, but jordan set me up in the car so my leg was propped up and i'm feeling much better now.
also: holy fucking shit i didn't know oregon had like this HUUUGE mountain range!! and also these crazy rock formations that make you feel like you're in arizona!!
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 01:29 (twelve years ago) link
oh my god i can't believe you're so nearby!!! and you're going to be here tomorrowwwww!
do you have a plan for seawa, beyond fapping at jaq's on friday? will you come over tomorrow night for a meal?
― lxy, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
no plans for seawa! visiting you tomorrow night, jaq's on friday - and bringing buckets of good cheer in the form of anzacs! that is all! i think jergins said we should visit the space needle, so we'll probably do that. we're in seawa for 3 nights so we have lots of time to use up.
it's raining in portland today :( so we are having a lazy morning and then going to my favouritest sock store in the whole world and then probably back to powells.
why is jergins not on this thread getting excited about seeing me?! i'm starting to think he just doesn't EVEN CARE.
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
yay, dinner tomorrow, then!!! i emailed my phone number; did you get it?
good that you'll have new socks, since it'll be shoes-off for measuring. maybe you can go to a hair-flattening store, too, to expedite matters.
(you only have to be shoes-off for measuring, not for coming in the house.)
anzzzzzzacs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From: lxyDate: Wed, May 25, 2011 at 11:27 AMSubject: IMPORTANT: ACTION REQUIRED!To: jergins
dearest,
please go to ruby's thread in the sandbox. she's beginning to worry that you're not excited about her visit, and we cannot risk her turning around or skipping seattle. we HAVE to get our hands on those anzac biscuits!!!
thx.
luv,me
― lxy, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
I CARE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!
― jergins, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:04 (twelve years ago) link
it will be great to meet you ruby.i've already started cleaning house.we've been strategizing on what to cook.fun fun, we will have fun fun
― jergins, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link
a few live updates would be good.
― estela, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
seawa better be good bc i think i <3 portland!!!! this town is soooo cute! **just out of curiosity** i looked at aptmts on craigslist and goddamn it's cheap to live here!!!
i bought about a million pairs of knee high striped socks so i will be attired appropriately in the foot dept.
jergie i thought maybe you had left town for a while in order to avoid meeting me and i was v v </3
― smoove operator, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
i will have drinks tmrw and then if i remember YES YES.
yeah portland's cheaper than seattle. one of my best friends (he lives in portland) has been looking for places up here and i think it's discouraging him that he's going to have to pay ~30% more in seattle.
lx pull out ur cutest socks, make this a competition.
― jergins, Thursday, 26 May 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link
not competition. exhibition.
― jergins, Thursday, 26 May 2011 00:16 (twelve years ago) link

― smoove operator, Thursday, 26 May 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link

harbl what was your favorite part of seattle?where did you go?
― tehresa, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 23:54 (twelve years ago) link
we went everywhere you can go in two days, i think. i liked georgetown! i also liked the beach. most of all i loved the produce market though! i was thinking about it just now. we also went to kubota garden which was great. and tacky flea market, we got a sambusa from a somali lady and it was delicious. also the best public library. i did go to mine yesterday and did not lament its lack of things, i like them both.
― spite n ease (harbl), Thursday, 13 October 2011 01:22 (twelve years ago) link
also jaq's shower is awesome :)
