i legit think my favorite pax east thing ever was a nice italian dinner with bros after the chaff had left (scrubs like sig, hakks, etc)
30-person-events are cool like, one night
trying to arrange it for anything else is horrible
crying
it totes would have been nice with you also
i just feel like i can only handle a huge group of lurkers and friends of friends and all that for one night running
i make the trip for friends mostly so my closest memories are smaller dinners or when i'm seated exclusively with friends or whatever
plus wrangling 25 people and getting them to agree on cuisine and time and all that is just a real nightmare (for me, at least. some people thrive on that stuff i guess)
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK A MOOSLIM CAN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVOR?!?!

i think eating like a shark at guy's place was a bad choice because jesus christ how did i spend 70 bucks on lacquered hawaiian chicken and mango puree margaritas
but it was worth it to get all my nyc bro's together
i started a fantasy book i really, really didn't like the other day by 'david gemmell'. it seems like he's p well regarded but i found the thick, stupefying odor of high fantasy + flashbacks + character names + lore + land names to be overwhelming.
I don't think David Gemmell is highly regarded by anyone except people who mainly read fantasy
\
that is the problem. you cannot trust what people who are in too deep have to say, because they have lost perspective. they recommend books based on whether or not the magic system is different from the last fantasy trilogy they read.
On a whim, I bought an anthology of Warcraft universe fiction. There was one by I think Richard Knaack, who's pretty well regarded in fantasy circles afaik.
It was like all the dumb tropes of fantasy novels you can imagine, but with Warcraft names.

Banana Republic is the best. Most flattering cuts. Shirts that don't untuck and pants that don't hit mid-calf when I sit.

Half of that is how Knaack writes and half of that is Metzen being in control of everything
AMA, huh? Reza Aslan is definitely capitalizing on that viral video to promote his book/himself -- which is not A Bad Thing, I should make clear. Just, his agent probably shit a brick when he saw how many YouTube hits that FOX News video got.
Which is all To the Good, imho; Reza Aslan is a gentleman and I guess that other thing (but not on Christianity).
i think jcrew only fits you akwardly because your'e built so solidly, dk. it doesn't seem long enough because it's straining over your apelike shoulders and sicilian python neck
many of my tall, statuesque friends from jiu jitsu and running love jcrew

BR is great for buying one thing and then having no more money and its a polo or yuppie looking button down

DK you should look at some boutique or local places if they have them in Boston; I'm sure the Cambridge area has some stuff

Also the BR in my area is like a closet. If I go in there and someone stops me asking if I need help, saying no and moving on would double the amount of time I'd need to see everything.
