The "I'm not at the International TB GTG" thread.

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm not in NYC this week with a bunch of fellow TBers - I'm in New Orleans programming sounds for my new band, UFO Death Cult.

I'm not sure if it's more or less sad to say that I'm not at the GTG. Perhaps I'll make a thread about it. That's decidedly less sad, is it not?

OK, maybe I'm a little jealous.

Well, this can be the "I didn't go and I'm not sure how I feel about that" thread.

EDIT: Perhaps many of them are going out for a beer right now. Now I'm definitely jealous.

I'm not at a Korean massage parlor at this particular time either.... I'm also not snowboarding in Hokaido. Nor am I surfing Cabo with my buddy. I also don't have plans to surf indo with some buddies next year either.

see, being 19 and living at home is a weird experience. it's like you can do what you want, but you still have to ask.

Me: "Can i got to New York?"
My Parents: "Why?"
Me: ""

Plus i would have had to do terrible and unpublishable things for gas money

I worked 10.5 hours last night (until 8am) and am back at the office now for another 10.5 hour shift (got here @ 9pm).

It just wasn't in the cards for me this year.

It was in the cards for me until I had the opportunity of a lifetime to meet a potential future employer. An open door in my future just barely beats out a giant room full of guys from the internet. Shame I couldn't make it though.
