 | 03:49 am - The Alamo Marsathon: Overture
It goes without saying that I owe a debt to many of my flisters who've sparked memories I may have forgotten but wished to record. So, if the next few posts feel inhumanly packed full of detail...I only remembered, say, eighty percent of it. And only seventy-five percent of it is one hundred percent accurate.
When last we left our intrepid hero, he was on his way out of Houston with  eirefaerie. Let's switch persons and tenses and continue the story.
Erin was playing a mix CD wastedfairy had sent her, and the first three songs were songs I loved on the very first listen: "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" by the Arctic Monkeys, "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt" by We Are Scientists, and "Munich" by the Editors. The girl has good taste in music. Almost as good as mine!
We hit mad traffic when Erin decided to try a "faster" route. Good job, whore. I decided to occupy myself by writing dates on the mix CDs I'd made for the VIPs. My ulterior motive was to be able to play them for Erin, and it worked. She wanted to hear Jason's, so I obliged.
At this point, in order to keep you all in the loop, I repost my explanation of said mix CDs:
Kristen gets an alternate VM soundtrack. For every song on the actual soundtrack, I chose a different song by the artist, if I had one, or a song that sounded similar to it. Similar is a relative term.

Anyway, I mentioned that Jason's wasn't really the best, musically, but it was fun. She commented on some of the fun, angry ones like the Smashing Pumpkins and System of a Down. After Jason's, I put in the first disc of Rob's. She was honored to get to listen to music I was giving to Rob Thomas himself. She said this to Jenn (carpedi7) when she called. She also told her she had killed me and put me in the trunk or dragged me into a ditch or something like that. This will become important later. Kind of.
We got through the first three songs on Rob's second disc before we reached the Embassy Suites. Erin began the checking-in procedures. They needed some plastic to secure the room charges, so she called me: "Come here, Moneybags." I provided my check card, which was covering the marathon on Sunday anyway. *pets PayPal account*
The Embassy Suites is one of those hotels with a hollow middle and rooms all around the perimeter. On the bottom were many tables and chairs for eating and drinking. Above them was only air and more air, surrounded by pseudotrapezoidal hallways providing access to rooms. The elevator was half-glass, allowing a view of our upward flight to the sixth floor. Room 608 was at the first corner on the left, not far from the elevator.
Holy crap, the room was huge. Maybe I'm just not used to staying in hotels, but I thought it was pretty sweet. One room with a couch and a chair or two and a TV and a table or two. A teeny little fridge and, I think, a coffee machine across from a sink. A bathroom. A bedroom with one large bed and another TV. Somewhere in all this business was a thermostat, and Erin charged me to find it while she parked the car.
I called the front desk and got my answer: it was behind the frickin' door to the bedroom. I tried to make the room less cold.
My cell phone rang. It was Jenn, who was surprised that I picked up the phone, being dead and all. "Braaaaaaaaaaains," I answered. She informed Jandy (faithx5) that Erin had killed me and I was a zombie. "Braaaaaaains," I said again. She noted that she didn't have any brains and so would not be, as they say, crazy delicious. "Siiiiiiiiiiiix oooooooooooh eeeeeeeeeeeeeight," I said. Again. And again. And again. Until she finally understood what I was saying. By that time, I had exhausted my repertoire of clever zombie dialogue (which is...quite sparse). I remained silent until I was allowed the opportunity to deliver a final "Braaaaaaaaains."
Soon after, Jenn and Jandy knocked on my door yay! There were hugs involved. Jandy was wearing Veronica's green jacket, the one in my icon! So cute! There are too many exclamation points in this paragraph!
When Erin got back, we headed downstairs to meet people. I could see txtequilanights's hair from the sixth floor. Right by the aquarium, I met ethanvahlere, who was wearing a sign that said "TWOP" on one side and "I Used to Be Cool" (or something like that) on the other. VM4 represent!
Then I proceeded to meet like FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE. After, you know, slipping on one of the stairs in order to make an entrance. People did not flock to meet the great and amazing Polter-Cow, so I introduced myself to everyone there to suss out who I might know and/or recognize. txtequilanights was wearing a Neptune Pirates hoodie. And I think that was, like, the only time I even saw her all weekend. tlynne75 (Tracy) had really pretty hair. Joslynm wanted to take her picture with the king of the boards, so I posed for one right then and there, which was a good call because I don't think I ever saw her again.
Who else was there? leila6, who was very cute. I finally met dkissam (ostentatious on TWoP, Donna on Earth), who looked very professional and spoke very articulately with a distinct accent. There was beppergirl/Moonlighter/Gaby. lunarmars, whose name I wouldn't remember the next three times I saw her. The same went for lex_83. To make matters more confusing, there were many more people than I expected who were either lurkers or didn't post online at all! How was I supposed to remember them, too? Funnily enough, one of those people was a woman named Heather who had a take-charge attitude that totally overshadowed the fact that I had no idea who she was or where she'd come from.
If I met you there and didn't mention you...I'm sorry. Pipe up and slap me.
I always introduced myself as Sunil, because that's who they were meeting. That Polter-Cow bloke is just a front. Pity he's way cooler. It was strange to meet so many people who knew me when I had barely heard of them.
After I met everyone, I went back up to the room. I have a feeling my chronology may be off here, as the discovery I am about to describe may have occurred before I went down. In any case, I had planned a viewing of Battlestar Galactica tonight in our room. I flipped through the channels so I could leave it on SciFi. ESPN, ESPN2, CourtTV....
They didn't get SciFi. This $119 hotel room did not get the fucking SciFi Channel. I mean, maybe this was something I should have checked into beforehand, but WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY NOT GET THE FUCKING SCIFI CHANNEL?
I called Joran (joranbelar) to tell him the bad news, and he was dismayed as well. He wondered if we could watch at iheartbridges's place, so I put her in on a conference call. She said it could be a last resort. I called Jacob (mostlikely2), who suggested finding a bar close by or breaking into one of the student unions to hijack a TV. As a last resort, he also offered to let us watch the episode at his place the next day, since it would be on his TiVo until he did the recap.
I should note that Erin was having a total cow while I was talking to Jacob because she hearts him so much and here I was talking to him on my phone like he was just some guy, which...he is. So I drew an "Erin + Jacob" with a heart around it on the mirror.
Erin didn't think she could get us into any student unions, so I went down to the front desk to see what they could do for me. First, they said I should try asking the restaurant for control of the big TV in the Happy Hour area, but that area was going to be closed off soon. Then they named a couple bars within walking distance that could work. They also sent me over to the bellhops, who were more familiar with bars. But not familiar with bars that would have SciFi. So I called some of the places the helpful ladies had given me, and the man at Aussie's said he would check to see if they had SciFi. They didn't expect a big crowd, so they could accomodate us.
I walked around outside and noticed that Aussie's really was right across the street, just as the ladies had said. I sauntered on over to see what it was like. It was like a volleybar and grill, that's what. They had a lot of TVs, and I found one and flipped through the channels, looking for SciFi. It didn't jump out at me. I called them again as I walked back to the hotel, and they said they did get SciFi and didn't mind giving us a TV. It was a bar, and there would be music playing and people talking, and it wasn't optimal, but...it was something.
Back in the room, Erin had been wondering where the hell I was. It was about time to hit Trudy's, so after whatever happened in the room, which may or may not have included Jenn giving me a whole lot of Hershey's dark chocolate and my giving Laura (Agent Laura/schnappycat) a whole lot of British chocolate, we went downstairs. I met and hugged Rae (raelee), and then we all sackhed off like Katee.
Erin ran about fifteen more red lights, which confounded poor Jandy, who was following us. When we arrived at Trudy's, we found out that "Hey, you don't need to make a reservation; we'll have room for you" meant "Hey, we have no fucking room for you guys! What the fuck is up with all the people?! Let's put you under heat lamps and stick you outside and throw you to all four corners of the establishment!"
So Trudy's was kind of a mess, but I met more people, including Joran (joranbelar), who was not a dog-faced boy; in fact, he was quite a fetching young lad, as the ladies will attest. The Trudy's folk assented to seating us in the non-restaurant section but still letting us order from the full menu, and after we stared down some couples sitting around and talking and drinking water, we snagged one table. Some people stood outside while they waited for another to open up.
Rae and her peeps had come early and been seated in a corner downstairs, so I went to see what was up with them. Heather and Rae had chicken quesadillas, and the table already had chips and salsa. The outside people also had chips and salsa. Our table didn't have chips and salsa. I explained our situation to them. Heather said there was no way she was going to finish her entire quesadilla and offered me a piece. Like, she didn't know who in the bloody hell I was, and she was still offering me food. Props to you, Heather, wherever you are. After eating my piece, I took the chips and salsa back to our table since they didn't need it anymore.
I fluttered back and forth, outside and inside. I sampled conversations and conveyed information. I didn't really have a...place, per se. You might describe my actions as being that of a social butterfly, but I'm more of a social caterpillar. Also, I was trying to organize my BSG viewing, and I didn't think we'd get fed in time. I began gathering intel regarding after-dinner plans.
That's girls in the corner. That's girls in the spotlight, eating their spiced chicken. Heather gave me another piece of her quesadilla, and Rae gave me a piece of her non-spicy chicken quesadilla. Rae was interested in the BSG viewing, whereas everyone else was going to Stubb's afterward for the "As Heard on VM" concert. I didn't know everyone else. Who was this attractive young female in green? I introduced myself, and she shook my hand and introduced herself in a very friendly manner as sincerelysummer. And my brain nearly fell out of my head in disoriented astonishment.
WestCoastLovin, see, was my VM4 archnemesis. She had gotten me warned for a Meet Market rant about Logan/Veronica 'shippers (that I frickin' apologized for) and had been randomly bitchy to me many a time. I had resolved to punch her in the face. But from my two seconds of interaction with her, I thought she seemed like a nice person who was not being bitchy to me.
Another group of people had found a table, so I introduced myself to them, and they were names I recognized! lissa_triana! sometimescrazy! lovelife! I didn't really know any of them, but I'd seen them around.
You know who I did know, though? The people coming back from the hockey game, like violet4120, shutterbug1, petunia846, and iheartbridges. I gave bridges a hug, and it was one of those hugs where both your arms go around the other person's stomach so you get a good squeeeeze out of it. I also hugged petunia for finally meeting her.
I had ordered the chicken flautas, which was also what Joran, that fucker, had gotten. But we'd gotten different beans. I chose refried black beans because I'd never heard of them. The food was pretty good but not spectacular.
The BSG viewing seemed to be falling apart, as the prospect of watching the show in a bar wasn't very appealing and time was not our friend. Tracy defected to Stubb's. Laura was considering defecting to Stubb's, but she wasn't really interested in the concert. She just wanted something to do after dinner. It seemed like everyone was going to Stubb's. I hadn't been planning on going because I didn't know any of the bands. But there were going to be cool VM giveaways. And Rob was going to show up eventually. Then again, I didn't feel like meeting Rob in a dark room with loud music. It should be some sort of momentous event, with light and the ability to have a conversation!
Joran and I finally decided that, okay, Stubb's it was, then. I didn't really know what I'd do just staying at Trudy's. bridgey wanted me to stay, and she was one of the people I most wanted to hang out with this weekend. Courtney (dachelle) had arrived, and it was good to see her again. The Trudy's environment just wasn't doing it for me. I vacillated long enough that my decision was finally made for me, as everyone who was going to Stubb's had left, and bridgey had made Joran stay.
I listened to conversations, not really participating. I listened as Joran commented on the iPod instruction manual and how it referred to the iPod as if its name were iPod ("Turn iPod on." "Remove battery from iPod."). Somehow, he strung words together in such a way that he had to clarify that his name was not iPod, at which point Courtney promptly told him that yes, yes it was. And thus Joran became iPod, and the name has stuck, in no small part due to his propensity to burst into showtunes.
I put my head down on the table and closed my eyes. It's always interesting to hear what people say when they think you're asleep. It's my way of hiding.
I moved to the other side of the table and sat next to bridgey. She said she wished I would smile more. I gave her my patented "Eh." I was in A Mood. The Stubb's/no Stubb's debacle had cracked my soul. I like plans. I like following them. I use order and structure to make my life possible. This was the kind of thing I feared would happen to my socially dysfunctional self. Unable to integrate, I have to withdraw.
bridgey was one of those girls who can pick up when I'm in A Mood and who have an honest, sincere desire to see me happy. They try their best, but it doesn't really seem to have any effect. Here's a little secret: they're more helpful than I'll ever let on.
iPod began singing some Gilbert and Sullivan, but it wasn't a song I knew well enough. He switched to another one that I recognized from Butter Battle, but I couldn't remember how it went either. Lips should...curl, yeah. Eyes should flash, that was it. Brow should furl. We couldn't put it all together, though.
Then bridgey and I sang "Fuck Her Gently" for Courtney, which helped my mood a little. When we left Trudy's, I rode with bridgey because I try to ride in as many different cars as possible. She put in a mix CD that began with "Fuck Her Gently," and we sang along to it. The next song was Dynamite Hack's "Boyz in the Hood," and we both sang along to that as well. That right there is one of my favorite memories of the weekend. Singing along to music is a very powerful bonding experience for me.
Up in room 608, we watched "Lazy Sunday" on Adam Clayton, Courtney's video iPod. This would not be the last time we watched "Lazy Sunday" this weekend.
Then we had a pillow fight and I hid under the covers.
Erin and I tried to figure out how to hook up the DVD player so she could introduce us to Spaced. After we messed around with many cables and I pinched my hand underneath the television, she called a tech.
Larry (heretofore referred to as Larry the Cable Guy) arrived. Erin greeted him: "Oh hey, we've got some trouble here, we can't figure out how this is supposed to work. Here, it's in THE BEDROOM." Cue the porn music, guys. We don't know what the hell they did back there, but after a few minutes, he came back out and told us he'd hooked us up. Then he taught us the sign for "money" or something like that, which is what he thought he deserved for coming up here after his shift had officially ended. Erin dropped a Hamilton.
We all squished onto the bed to watch the Spaced pilot, which was very funny. My favorite bit was this line, complete with fucking hilarious graphics: "You're scared of mice and spiders, but oh-so-much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross-breed to form an all-powerful race of mice-spiders who will immobilize human beings in giant webs in order to steal cheese."
I was very tired, so I was semi- to unconscious for whatever Spaced and Black Books episodes we watched after that. But I got to cuddle with Erin, so there was that.
Finally, a night was called, and people went back to their respective rooms/hotels/apartments. I went to sleep on the pullout couchbed. I needed to get some rest.
Tomorrow was the big day, after all.
Current Mood:  tired
Current Music: Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong

Polter-Cow, look over here! See me waving? Over here! I listened as Joran commented on the iPod instruction manual and how it referred to the iPod as if its name were iPod ("Turn iPod on." "Remove battery from iPod.").
Yes! That is one of the things the iPod manual that I laughed about. Another was the statement that "After you download music and other audio to your iPod, you can listen to it"
Yeah, Embassy suites rooms are generally fairly nice and large as hotel rooms go. Plus they come with a refrigerator that you can actually use, as opposed to the minibar things that they charge you for opening.
As to cable channels at hotels... most hotels end up with somewhat strange and limited selections of cable channels. I'm not sure why. But it's usually not even the full 'basic' package, much less any tiers or optional things. Except they all have HBO, Showtime or both... but usually only the main channel of those, not any of the six other channels that are part of what you get when you get those channels now. (Or at least that you get on digital cable which may have spoiled me.) The Scifi channel is, alas, not usually one of them. Actually, usually the mix is something like - local/broadcast channels (usually including PBS), CNN, one or two sports channels, Disney and/or Nickelodeon, weather, some local attractions/tourist info channel that you never see outside of hotels, 2-4 other random popular 'standard' channels (e.g. USA, TNT, A&E, or Comedy Central), 1-2 spanish language channels, HBO and/or Showtime, and Pay-per-view something or other. I'm sorry you weren't having a good time Friday at Trudy's. I suck at life!
You didn't talk about how you wouldn't talk to me at all on the drive and I thought I hated you. Are you saying this should have been longer?
Also, don't worry about Trudy's. It's me, not you. I agree with Nicole - see more Spaced. Awwww...you liked my hair! Want to hear a secret? I dyed it about 2 weeks ago. It's really just plain old brown, But, I have to say, I love how it came out! And, just to clarify, the only reason I defected to Stubbs was that you and Laura told me I should go since we couldn't watch BSG. Then, you stood us up! But, that's okay because Laura, Natalie, and I ate the best chocolate chip cookies EVER while we were there. Hee, I can't wait to read the rest of your recap!
Your hair was fantastic. And, yeah, now I remember how the whole Stubbs thing worked. Sorry if I misrepresented you. My memory is fuzzy.
Damn, now I want some cookies. I don't CARE about Friday! I want to hear about how much you loved ME!
*whines*
Just kidding. Very funny and engaging recap. If I squint, I can totally pretend I was there. I want to hear about Kate too!!!! /waves to P-C
Glad you enjoyed the quesadillas. And the olives! ;) Thanks for being social and coming over to say 'howdy'. We kept getting everywhere ahead of the pack and being on the edge of the action. Oh God, you're Heather! You do have an LJ, and you do know me! I'm a moron. I remember now that you told me. But you claimed to be just a lurker who didn't post much.
And I forgot to mention the olives! I gave them all to other people since they were soaked in Mexican martini. Erin took most of them. According to Mars, an Orgy, by law in Minnesota, consists of four people with no shoes on. I hate it when plans go awry too. I miss you, male Mean Girl.
And I hate all of you who got to go to Austin. Bitches. Maybe the iPod manual watches Arrested Development, and decided to co-opt Buster's Army affectation. (I wonder if iPod has a half day, too?)
If I had known that you were making an all profanity, all the time mix for Jason Dohring, I would have offered up Tiger Army's "F.T.W." I love that song. (Dude, I almost wrote, "I love that dong," which is a totally different subject.) Oh man, I forgot "Die MF Die" by Dope! Just as well, really, since I decided to be a stickler and go for the requirement of having the full-on word in the title. I didn't really think Jason would actually like the music or anything, since I don't know his tastes. It's more the principle of the thing. ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/26840894/1411223) | | From: | kieyra |

If you liked Spaced, you will like Green Wing. Hee. Awesome recap. In the interests of catching the next installment and also because I love you a LOT for putting 'Fuck Her Gently' on JD's mix, I am now friending you:)
P.S. We did meet over the weekend, I am one of the ones who lurks:P Oh, hey! I remember you. You even get a veiled shout-out in the next post. Because of the thing with the thing. ![[User Picture]](https://l-userpic.livejournal.com/90763632/3866806) | | From: | lex_83 |

Ok. So I totally friended you a couple days ago, and I was going to be oh-so-coll and just mention it now.
Then I saw that you had Songs:Ohia on the CDs and it made me dance a little.
I was now determined to the cool about this.
But then you had to go and like name me. *looks around, leans forward, whispers* I was mentioned by PC in his journal. At which point I actually had to call a friend so I could freak out without sounding like a complete idiot.
The moral of this huge thing? I should never try for cool. Also, I friended you. | | From: | lex_83 |

And I just totally showed my spazziness by misspelling cool. *headdesk* More! I want to hear more!
Now I'm sad I didn't go. But I guess you had to start at Friday morning, which I would never have been able to do, except if I skipped classes. |
