On my death bed just as my heart is stopping, I'm hoping to arrange some folks with a large mobile PA roll it into the room and crank "she caught the katy" as I die.



good day.

Elwood: There's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Joliet Jake: Hit it!

Love you Jen.
As you can see I’m ready for our Midwest version of Zapcon light social distanced responsibly convention. The phone will soon be replaced with a Bud or Bud Light, I’m showing a lot of curve on the midsection.

We had a change of plans and the meetup is today.

I was going to make pizza but there isn't enough time with the change in plans.

I am going to parboil some brats in beer and then throw em on the grill.

Here at Alpha Centuri we cater to the ever changing needs of our guests.

Love the Alpha Centuri gear TTC. There will be more the next time Zapcon rolls around.

I thought you were going to mention the red beer cooler. I think the sight of that can still give Ond a hangover after all this time.
Anyhow, I have Word of God level proof of any and all claims of my travels and activities below. You only see these things in the movies or whatever I claim to be.

WTF?  Literally I’m the only one in the entire parking lot and this silver bastard parks next to me. Do you want to follow me to the bathroom next and take the urinal next to me too. Can’t wait for the movie theaters to open up so he can take the seat next to me there.

WTF?

Of course, now he’s on his cellphone with the window down.

I hate that.  I park at the end of the lot so some jackass doesn't run into my car and it never fails there's somebody parked next to me in a half empty lot when I come out.

Good eye Jennifer. That would have been a good ride with plenty of soft grass at the end.
We need a BYOAC group roadtrip next year.

If anyone asks this wasn’t my idea...

How hard would it be to make ourselves Guest Hosts on opt2not’s twitch stream?  I think MikeA and TacoTownCharlie could do a pretty good job until we got him banned from Twitch forever.

Just need someone who knows UNIX.

Hey MikeA, great news. One of your “friends” said you really love this stuff. So I bought you a house warming gift. I won’t tell you his name but his first initials are “P” and “B” and his last name starts with “J”. He says you have to drink it all!

I just want everyone to know what a great guy MikeA is. If you are anywhere near Chicago you have to drop by. An hour, a day or night or longer- MikeA will be a great host. If you go you what makes our BYOAC group truly one of the best things in our lives. Don’t be shy or worry about being too polite; if you are ever near hit him up.

While not as coveted as an “Inspected by PBJ” sticker I can give my wholehearted approval and will stake my BYOAC reputation on MikeA’s generosity and hospitality.

This is what makes BYOAC a great group.
