Brilliam (+ Friend) in your NYC For Blip Festival! Lend me your Couch/floor/etc! [NVGR]
Brilliam | 3:57 PM on 09.24.2008 9 comments




So, Blipfest is happening from December 4-8. I couldn't do PAX, due to time/money constraints, but I'm not making that mistake again! I will be there, assuming all of my passport shit works out. My friend is also coming up.

That's where you come in, gentle reader!

We need to crash somewhere because we're poor mofos who can't afford to stay at the... what do you guys call it, the Ritz? Even despite your crumbling American economy, and your potentially rock-bottom dollar, our Canadian Benjamins (which are called Beaverbills north of the border) (not really) won't stretch that far.

If you are thinking, "hmm, I dunno. Brilliam seems like a bit of a dick," I understand your position, as I've written some pretty angry crap on here. But I swear to baby Jesus, in real life I am the most pleasant young man ever. You can even show me to your parents. They'll be all "Wow, isn't that Canadian boy polite?" Likewise my tall friend Kelvin, who is also in town for the weekend. I can also cook you a meal or two while we're there; I hear nobody does that in your craaaaazy city! Maybe I'll even try to smuggle you some Canadian produce. Just kidding! That's a felony!

But seriously... I am really a friendly, quiet, respectful dude with a quiet, friendly, respectful friend. And I'd like to quietly, friendlily (wtf? friendlily?), and respectfully borrow your space for a little bit. I hope to sleep at some point on from Thursday to either Sunday or Monday. If you cna hlep us at all, let me know. I am around the IRC usually, and my e-mail is magacid at the gmails, Skype = wa.mitchell, my twitter is Brilliam... and my comment box is below! Help me out or I might not be able to go! (but don't feel bad if you can't! I still love you!)

It's true! Our Canadian skins are thick, but not that thick.

Cool, thanks for the link, GBug. I will look into it (although I am still gonna try and mooch because I am poor, after all). But I might also borrow some flow and just bite the bullet.
