    No PF for me, either. I just got home after visiting various bars around the North side of Chicago. I jumped on the Red Line @ Fullerton around 1:00, headed downtown and have been barhopping since then.

    Checking in again, just got home from a night on the town and did not one but two fingers of Beam in honor PF '06. Saw a couple of mediocre live bands and drank quite a bit of Vodka.

    I have to say the only thing I was disappointed with at this years PF was the lack of new faces. All of you that found some excuse not to come really missed out on one helluva good time. I sincerely hope that you will make it to PF '07.

    Hey Jesse, I was busy attending the anti-polk fest.. Stuck in KSA during Ramadan. WTH could be nicer than getting stuck in a dry country that will chop your head off for smuggling booze and during their "festival" time were no restaraunt is open between sun up and sun down, nor are you allowed to eat or drink anything? Oh yeah, work in an un airconditioned warehouse with running deisels and temps pushing past 120F and 80% humidity. Hows that for an excuse?

    Grrrrr.... I AM AT ANTHONY'S NEXT YEAR!!! AND I WILL MAKE UP FOR THE ABSENSE!
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    One year hopefully. It's one hell of a trip. It's a 6 hour plane just to Toronto which would be my drop point for the mid or east area of the USA. Then the trip to who knows where. That is 5,207 klm or 3,235miles just to TO. One hell of a car ride.
