I had this totally inspiring post all ready about how I actually managed to swing air fare to the east coast which means I am indeed going to be attending TequilaCon'08 in May. However the wind has been chased from my sails by the news that Brandon will not be able to attend this year.
There is not a frowny faced emoticon large enough to convey how this makes me feel.
I will go. I will eat cheesesteaks, and ice cream, and tater tots. And if they don't have tater tots I will tell them to go to hell or at least to Idaho (which is kind of the same thing...except they have tater tots). I will drink. And then I will drink some more, but then someone will remind me that I'm the Rick Astley of inebriation only that no one thinks my one-hit-wonder status is good enough to trick their friends into watching. I will don fake tattoos and smiles.
But at the appointed time I will stop. I will seek my brethern and my sistern and with out curly powers combined, we will pour one out for the homiest of homies. And while the irony of that act won't be lost on us, neither will the meaning of it be lost on him.

Oh Brandon... why hast thou forsaken us?
My money is on Hannah Montana concert tickets...
@ Dave2: Oh Snap, I bet you're right. He's probably going not even to see Miley Cyrus, but more in the hopes of getting to touch Billy Ray's mullet curls.
oh, those are much better excuses than AHA (acute herpum attack).
which, for the record, is NOT the reason. it's totally because i've got, um Hana Montanna (sp?) tix.
i just want to reiterate that this has nothing to do with herpes.
@ Brandon: Wait...you gave Hannah Montana AHA??
Can't believe Brandon isn't going. But I'm happy that you are. We'll have to do a tater tot adventure, where we wander the City of Brotherly Love on a quest to sample tater tots at every restaurant that offers them.
I am now doubly saddened to learn that Brandon's non-attendance has nothing to do with herpes.
you know, i was just thinking about you the other day because it occurred to me that a very good friend of mine works for google and i don't think i've ever given you the chance to be properly jealous. in philly, perhaps?
It's definitely bittersweet....first he was coming and you were not. And now I squee with Churro Boy delight bur lament Monsieur Herpes ;)
hope to see you there; my plans remain nebulous, not unlike myself. But FYI Philly isn't known so much for tots as for criss-cut taters in cheese sauce. Worth a try. Also, funnelcakes!
The curl balance of the universe will definitely be tilted askance. *sigh* On the other hand, there WILL be tequila.
Um, I don't want to break any hearts hear but Philly doesn't have tater tots :(
We have soft pretzels, Tastykakes, cheesesteaks, hoagies and if you drive a an hour out of the city you'll hit Pennsylvania Dutch Country...my neck of the woods...home of the gizmo, scrapple, Good's potato chips and lots more fat ladden foods.
But no tater tots.
See you at TequilaCon
OMG, I spelled "here" as "hear"...I'm ashamed to say I graduated from college.
