[D]

In a nutshell, I'm sad I went.  It was pretty mean and hurtful all around.

[Alice]

I was going to go this past year.  But mother nature intervened.

com'on alice, throw caution to the wind.

I would love to, but I really don't have the cash.

And as great as this would be, there's something else I want to spend my vacation days on.

[Jessie]

I love Ricky Skaggs.

Beefy, did you know that My Morning Jacket is from Louisville?  My sister in law was just telling me that she waited on the drummer at her bank the other day.

[Jessie]

OH man, that's not even far from here.  If I had the cash, I'd totally drive down and meet you there, D.

[dazie]

go to this one instead:  http://www.wakarusa.com/

Chiggerpalooza!

[Gamplayerx]

Good luck?

[Alice]

Preparations are almost complete... I'll try to take lots of pictures.  I hope I make it through the weekend.

My friends are going to this - I just dreaded my one friends hair today.

If you see a dork in dreads with glasses, next to a dude with a backwards baseball hat and a wifebeater (with a nasty scar on the back of his arm, but don't mention I said that's how to look for him) and a girl that's tall and skinny - tell them to say hi to Colleen. 

[dazie]

Where's Dlights?  I want to know how it went!

[Gamplayerx]

I just hope he stayed away from Ricky Scaggs.

[Jessie]

I just hope he stayed away from Ricky Scaggs.

That's a terrible thing to say!  Ricky Skaggs is amazing.

[Gamplayerx]

Er.  I was referring to the guy who got killed when he was plowed down by Ricky Skaggs' tourbus.

I understood what you meant.
