    Chicago!?

    Sorry I wasn't able to make it, but - well - sometimes life happens... How was it? What'd I miss? If I don't see any photos, then you weren't really there!

    BTW - I "unstuck" Steve's other thread, it's right here if you need it.

    I don't remember anything. It was all a cold, wet, cold blur.

    You know...

    ...the more I think about it, the more I think you guys were pulling a fast one on me when you gave me that lemon snow cone to eat.

    It sure tasted funny, and besides, who would be selling snow cones in Chicago in December?!?

    Other than that the weekend was a lot of fun...

    Nobody told you it was a Cincinnati snow cone, did they?

    Sorry I couldn't make it, too much stuff at work I hope to make it next year.
    It looks like Sebastian and Steve had a tough next day. I am sure that all of us feel sorry for the two of you. :cornut:

    I've got to be careful what pics I post of him and how I caption them, as he's now a condemed man, er...I mean happily engaged to a lovely woman!

    BTW, we also used his lighting gear, so it goes without saying that his contribution to the shoot was major... :thumbsup:

    I too, had to make many difficult creative decisions throughout the exhausting day. Here I'm trying to figure out: should I use the Ultimate Heavenly Plunge Bra or the Total Extreme Push-Up one...

    The color of the one in your left hand clashes with the color of the writing on your shirt. I think you'd look better in the other one.

    Well, you're overlooking two very important details. One, I would not be wearing the shirt after I put the bra on. I mean, c'mon now, be serious.

    Second, the lighting where I do my "act" is very dim and dramatic, so that (obviously) affects the whole color thing...

    Will the crossdressing jokes never cease?

    Overall it was a good day. Very exhausting, and I had my car broken into, but overall a good day.

    Re: Chicago!?

    When a man travels with a suitcase full of ladies lingerie, he has to expect some cross dressing jokes.

    Your car got broken into? Wow, that really sucks. Hopefully the damage was mininmal.

    Jokes? Who's making jokes?

    That stinks that your car was broken into - hope it wasn't a huge problem...

    Re: Chicago!?

    Here's a few. I was a total tourist. I think there was a guy with his digital Rebel and kit lens who was feeling sorry for me.

    I call that last one, Steve, in thought.
