If you think flying with a baby is hard, I'm gonna be on a plane with Phungi, Lynn, Guinness and Ramonz. Do you have any of that valium left?
I have to say, I'm feeling it much more for Phungi, Lynn, Guiness and Ramonz.
Don't think we haven't considered pitching in for a First-Class upgrade for Clams
I guess desperate times really do call for desperate measures.
Who's #22 for the Gators?

None to my knowledge, but if you wanna take it all the way back to England probably so. I'm of the North Georgia "moved in when Wilson Lumpkin booted out the Cherokee tribes" Bishops.
Sad to say that it looks like we will miss our first Homecoming in six years. Thankfully we did have a great weekend in Asheville to ease the pain. Hopefully there will be a stream to go along with your wild accounts of the proceedings so that we can stay in touch.
"to love is to feel pain there ain't no way around it."

My brother from another mother! Looking forward to the family reunion. I'm from the whitebread midwestern can't trace the family tree back any further than my grandparents side of the Bishop clan.
My first Homecoming in 3 weeks. Can't wait to see you fuckers. Listening to my first show right now, with a fat red wine, Southern Thing w/intro at Cat's Cradle ("we never do this one"), Cooley shitfaced, Jason en fuego....goddam I love this band. Can't wait to see you guys.

As Ramonz' de facto travel agent and wing man, I can tell you that barring travel delays, we hope to arrive in Athens around 3pm on Thursday.

Thanks UR, 'tis gonna be great! I look forward to that first beer.
And thanks Clams - you know you've finally made it when you have your own spokesperson. Yes!
So, about PACING YOURSELF at Homecoming. I'm worried about this part. In most situations like this (festivals, multiple-night DBT shows in Richmond, etc.), I typically get crushed the first night and am a zombie slug the rest of the time. I very much want to avoid this, but I've never had much luck. Any strategies for HC? Will everyone be going hard 24/7, or will there be pockets of sanity? Guessing naps could play a prominent role, but never been to Athens so will want to explore. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks!
That's always been my MO too, but I will say that Athens has a kind of restorative quality, it just never seems as bad as it does in the real world. I think it may be more of a pace yourself daily approach. usually I sleep a little late, catch some breakfast somewhere, then crack a beer. That's where the pacing thing comes into play, for me at least.
Reluctantly, our hero rises to the day, with a moan and a curse to an absent God.

Well if there's any sliver of a silver lining to the fact that Swamp won't be there, it's that the chances of dealing with a killer hangover just went down by about 90%. But basically GW is right: sleep late, lots of good coffee and a mid afternoon switch over to beer. And avoid the temptations of the Wisconsin crew.

stick with hallucinogenics on Thursday, and ease into the alcohol intake on Friday?
We got messed up minds for these messed up times...
