Piece of Information #1: Sometimes I am an idiot.

Piece of Information #2, VERY VERY CLOSELY RELATED TO #1: I have two free passes to the CT Ren Faire on my fridge door.

Why Oakenguy, didn't you go to the CT Ren Faire yesterday?

Yes, yes I did. With my niece and her two friends. Who spent nearly the entire day shopping. Six hours of shopping.

And when your niece wasn't shopping, what happened to her?

She...oh god. I can't say. It's still too painful.

Go on. We're all friends here.

...she was chosen as the "Designated Barely Legal Hottie" for Poprah, brought up on stage and given a seat on sotpchris's lap.

Oh my god.

I KNOW.

You're a horrible, horrible uncle.

I KNOW.

Anyhow. When did you realize you'd left the passes at home, and would have to pay full price for you and your niece?

About a half hour into the trip.

Not your best day, was it?

No, no it was not.

Anyhow...as a reward for having read all that, are there any locals who'd like those passes? The Faire's got one more weekend to go, and (trauma aside) it's really REALLY good. Worthy of a whole other post, in fact, but that'll have to be later.

Think it'd be fun with a three-year-old? :) Here she is at 10 months...

In the case of your three-year-old, I think it'd be an amazing amount of fun. :)

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

Well, then, if they're still around, I'd put them to use!

heh, scarring the children, one tot at a time :)

Hopefully, with therapy, she'll get over it. But I have to say, that it wasn't my fault. All that I did was to choose the designated swearer.

The funny thing is, we had to leave the hypnosis show in order to make it to Poprah on time, and I asked her, "Do you want to stay here, or do you want to see something completely inappropriate and unsuitable that will probably give you mental scars for the rest of your life?"

I'm just Cassandra, is what I am, stumbling through the ruins of Troy.

*waves* I'll take them!

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

They're yours! Where would you like to meet so I can give them to you?

[pamlin.livejournal.com]

Um... do you work tomorrow? I can meet you after, somewhere in Back Bay/Mass Ave area?

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Best Buy around 5 in the PC Games area? I'll be the guy in his 30s, you be the attractive woman?

[pamlin.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Um.... which Best Buy?

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Oh! That WOULD help--the one at the Hynes T stop, the intersection of Newbury and Mass Ave?

[pamlin.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll be there about 5:15 (because I'm at the Seaport, and it takes a bit of time to travel)

[pamlin.livejournal.com]

Hi!
Ali (the little blond who was with us at BaconFest) will be meeting you at Best Buy at 5:15, on my behalf (ErikKitty is at the vet's and needs me to go pick him up)

Can you email me your cell number (in case she can't find you) at pisaacson at gmail dot com?

[redfishie.livejournal.com]

if others fall through, I'd take them as well...

[eclecticavatar.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, the Poprah gents are harmless... mostly.

Mi scusa

You are not a horrible uncle... but I can see where that thought might occur. I paraphrase the T-Mobile ads when I say maybe you shouldn't have such a hot niece.
And I greatly appreciate you *not* grabbing the nearest peace-tied weapon, breaking it free, and running me through with it as that irrepressible lunatic Chef Giuseppe Roma Bertolli Ramsey took over my weak-willed body and caused me to parade your adorable 19-year old niece in front of the raving mob... and bounce her on my knee in a truly inappropriate pony ride.
I hope it puts your mind somewhat at ease to know that I'm certain if it had been a random stranger and not my beloved friend's niece... much much more terribly inappropriate conduct would have ensued.
