I’m Packing Extra Boxers Just in Case

May 2nd, 2008

Funny, when I was on Jester’s radio show last night (filling in for someone) with Hilly, Jester asked how close Hilly and I are. We both answered, “Pretty close.” We’ve known each other for seven years now and, even though we’ve hung out in person only a few times, we’re like brother and sister. I mean, I’ve seen my sister’s tits (kind of scarred me a little bit emotionally) and I’ve seen Hilly’s tits (kind of just made me stand there and stare until she screamed and slammed her bedroom door).

We talk on the phone usually once or twice a week, bullshitting and trading smack-talk. We say “I love you” and actually mean it. But not that kind of love. I admit that there was a time early on in our relationship when I could have felt that way, but we’re very similar in this respect…once I get onto the friendship tip with someone, there’s really no going back to the sexual healing.

When I say we know each other pretty well, I mean it. I don’t know that I could name her favorite foods or colors, but in the deeper more intimate knowledge, we’re pretty solid. For instance, just last night she called and left me a voicemail, giving me a “Woo hoo! Tequilacon!” message. She said that I was probably packing for my trip. “Oh hell, you’re probably still doing laundry.”

And she was right. My laundry was still in the dryer when she called.

Laundry

Because, you know, in less than 12 hours I’m heading out to Philadelphia. I get in around 1:45pm. Look out, City of Sisterly Love, Karl is coming!

TequilaCon, Baby!

That Dave does amazing work, doesn’t he?

If you’re going and I haven’t already given you my cell phone number, just e-mail me and let me know. My e-mail address is in the sidebar of my blog. I’m sure we’ll be doing dinner tonight, but I don’t know the details yet.

I also wanted to show you some very cool photos. Well, I took the photo at Sea World, but my friend James did some amazing doctoring during a spell of boredom.

You can see them on Flickr. Here’s the first one, and here’s the second.

    Packing extra boxers. Reminds me of my trip to Orlando and waking up realizing I didn’t pack any boxers. I resolved that with a trip to the store.

    Have fun at TC 2008.

    I’m excited for you guys, I bet it will be a blast! I’m totally going to have at least one shot of tequila tonight in honor of the occasion. :)

    Amanda - thanks, I will.

    Hello - not a problem. Us bloggers have to stick together!

    DutchBitch - I figure you wouldn’t want to call me long distance, anyway.

    Martymankins - well, last year I ended up giving away a pair of my boxers…the ones I was wearing. So I’m prepared this year.

    SJ - Me? Take photos?

    Glenda - I don’t actually drink tequila, but hey, have at it.

    Supertiff - Uh oh.

    Heh, I was right.
    You are so funny with the last minute stuff!

    Killer Whale photo is great (the blood one of course!)

    how did all you outta towners know about this thang?! was it only advertised outside of Philly? And I was just content yesterday walking around Rittenhouse with copious amounts of beer and 13th Street’s BBQ with copious amounts of gay men.

  12. Secondhand Karl on May 5, 2008 12:59 am
    Hilly - You know it!

    Radiomom - I had a lot more than that.

    Anonymous City Girl - It was heavily publicized all over the Internet. It’s the best kept non-secret there is! Can’t believe you were there, but didn’t know about it. Bummer.

    Usually I can sniff out a tequila event anywhere in the city (search tequila on my blog and you’ll have plenty of reading material).
    Granted the last few times there were events, I was greeted by a giant inflatable tequila bottle in the middle of the street when I went to get my morning coffee (show me a sunrise that’s better than that!).
