At EnderCon, after "The Polish Boy" reading, there was the Star Party (you know, where all the dorky PWeb kids were singing campfire songs ).
Well, I had gotten myself pretty drunk before the reading. Well, actually, during. We brought in Gatorade bottles which were actually half vodka (there's another adventure story about our attempt to find a liquor store in Utah, but that's for a different thread).
Anyway, I was in no shape to drive to the Star Party, so my cousin and I somehow met a guy who was driving up there. I have no idea what his name was, or where he was from. Maybe Jersey. Or Texas.
On the way back to town from the Star Party, there was a sharp curve in the road, and we skidded off the road into a big bush, almost hitting a tree. We got out to inspect the damage, which turned out to be just a few scratches. "Good thing it's a rental.", he said.
My point? Is this mystery man any of you Hatrackers? (And would you admit it? ) Or will this surreal experience remain a mystery for the rest of my days?

He sounds much like me, but alas, it was not...

Frisco, you were at EnderCon?
Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
I was.

Katie, I was thinking the same thing.
And I was one of those dorky Pweb "kids" singing at the star party. Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
Heh. And now that I think about it, I remember meeting a few people at the Star Party, but it was so dark, it was only voices.

Oh, the mystery man behind me?
All right. I was that guy reading "The Polish boy" to you all.
Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
You could've been. The memory's a bit hazy to me.

I'm curious as to why you haven't brought this up before, it's been, what, 2 years now?
[EDIT: and no, it was not me, I was with my mother and we would've noticed picking up strange, drunk people ]

Just something I thought about when sndrake brought up the idea of a Surreal Hatracker.
That guy, to me, would totally be one.
Also, I forgot. You'd be amazed at all the things you can forget when you get a good, hard drunk on. One morning, I woke up at a strange apartment and everyone was calling me Rico.
Anyway, I'm gonna bump this until one of you guys fesses up.

It was ME!
Seriously, when is something like this going to happen again? By that I mean something like EnderCon.

Oh we have those every once in a while. We just don't invite you. Ever wonder why some weekends get so slow?

This was an older guy with a moustache and goatee, no? Might have been wearing glasses?

I heard there was something like that planned for Chicago.

*eyes Mabus suspiciously*
Glasses? Yeah, I think so. Older? 30s, maybe. Don't remember facial hair or lack thereof. Why?

*snicker* I was suggesting you had been helped out by OSC and hadn't recognized him...a silly idea, I know, which is why I suggested it.
