If you are like us, you have wondered MANY TIMES over the past 30 months what would be the inflection point, to borrow a phrase from Kamala Harris, at which it would be time to FLEEEEEEE. Mine is "when they seize my bank accounts." Not really any going back from there! Luckily, we have a Wonkebago. And Canuck friends? We have YOU!
We haven't felt the itch to run even once since we got our passports, after some State Department fuckery, in the US mail. (They weren't accepting Old Dad's "birth certificate," from "New Jersey," as a form of ID.) But since we've got 'em, and you've been asking, and it's almost time for a working vacation at Shy's family's cabin*, well get out your calendars and your recreational marijuana because Spokane, Seattle, and VANCOUVER CANADA, we are coming to see you ... temporarily . Consider it a dry run.
The deets to come. (Please post nice park suggestions, for where we can grill up our tofus just kidding we don't grill tofus, in the comments!) But set your G Chat Calendar Book reminder for:
Spokane, Wed., Aug. 21, in the evening.
Anacortes, Washington, Thurs., Aug. 22, at Washington Park!
Vancouver CANADA(NOT WASHINGTON), Thurs., Aug. 29, in the eveningish too!
Seattle, Fri., Aug. 30, evening also!
If you haven't been to a Wonkette shindig before, they are fun, and people are nice, and you are allowed to be introverted and weird, everyone else is too! Bring some food to share but DON'T STRESS ABOUT IT if you are not a cooker, there is always so much more than enough.
*Shy's family's cabin, which his dad helped his grandpa build with their own hands, is on an island four miles out in the ocean in the Puget Sound, and there is no electricity or internet, so when I say "working" I mean "fuck you."
Now is the time when we OPEN THREAD!
Wonkette is ad-free, independent, funded SOLELY by YOU and we spend your donations buying you beer!
GAS US UP!
The only impression my son can do really well is Dick Vitale. So he often does impressions of combinations of people, and some are quite amusing. Last night he did a brief version of Marianne Williamson as Dick Vitale.
"What'd I tell you about those dark forces, baybee!"
Shy's family cabin sounds awesome. Hard to get to, but awesome.
