January 9-10, 1999 Munch Report
Subject: DC/Philly Munch Report
Well, though an unfair system of whining, guilt, and trickery, I was
elected to write up the munch report.
The munch began at 10:30 Saturday morning, when Angie(*), Roger(*),
Scott, Seth and Jon all showed up at Judy's apartment on time, where
Judy, Steph and I were. We had assumed there would have been a few late
arrivals, so we had plenty of time to kill playing Bust a Groove on the
Playstation. At last, Judy decided it was time to go to the Metro
Station.
We arrived at the Smithsonian around 12:30 and had lunch in the
cafeteria, where we ran into Jamie(*) and JenE. Around 2:00, we made it
to the Star Wars exhibit entrance where we found Josh(*), Diana(*), and
Jen(*). I personally found the exibit very interesting (it was about
myths/society/tradition as portrayed though Star Wars.) Others seemed to
have an unnatural obsession with Bobofet. After leaving the exhibit, we
ran into timo(*), Kristin(*) and Jim Riley(*).
Our now large party (minus Diana, who wasn't feeling well) went down to
Food For Thought on Dupont Circle and munched. The restuarant was a
great choice for all of us vegetarians, and I had a great pita-zza. Not
much extrodenairily exciting happened, but it was a good meal with good
conversation. (Ok, I shamelessly bugged Jamie to tell me all about her
mom.)
The munch then transfered back to Judy's apartment, with the sad loss of
Jamie and JenE and Jim. After all parties arrived (Josh's group was a
bit slow, something about getting beer... Kristin's favorite on sale for
$5/6 pack... yada yada yada) a rousing game of trivial pursuit ensued.
For the record, the Judy, Steph and Seth's team kicked ass.
Then... much drinking... bottle of wine missing... determined Wendy
drank it all... dizzy... blackness... missing time...
The next morning, we decided to have a traveling munch to Philly. Josh,
Judy, Steph, timo, Kristin and I piled into my Avis unlimited miles
Buick Century[!] and did NOT caravan with Roger, Scott and Angie.
Uncomfortable ride, but I went to Deleware for the first time. We are
calling this the first traveling munch, but other RABbits might have
done a similar thing before.
We dropped timo and Kristin off at their apartment (where the largest
cat in history lives) so they could get ready for work and the remaining
4 of us had a mini breakfast munch at Phila-deli.
At last we made it to Infinite, where the official Philly munch started.
Joining the group were Angela(*) and Luis(*). Of course, much piercing
took place, with Kristin performing most of it. Josh got his belly
button pierced (see hilarious post), Judy got her conch redone by
dermalled it at 8g (the punched tissue -- complete with scar tissue --
was really cool), Scott got his nipples done, and I got my septum
pierced and my navel stretched to from 14g to 12g. Kristin was a
wonderful piercer, and my navel stretch was actually more painful than
my septum. Neither of them really hurt, though. Unfortunately, my
retainer fell out in the shower this morning (*&%*$*#) and I couldn't
get it back in. Waaaaaah!!!!
And then us DC folks went back, I caught my flight back to Denver, and
so ends another fun DC munch.
Many thanks to Judy for putting up with me for 4 days and letting me
sleep on the couch.
Wendy
PS - sorry if this post isn't very detailed - I'm having a shitty day,
with the whole losing my septum pierce and all. Waaaah again.

Seth knows sports. Who woulda guessed it?
We neglected to put a Trivial Pursuit game piece in Josh's ears, but we
did manage a Meat Snack. (You know, those gift-wrapped sausages in
christmas baskets.)
Much beer was consumed.

I have to say, though, that Buick was posh. *And* it had cruise control.
Rockin'.

Kristin is My Hero (TM). I've got an experience written up that I can post
here, but I was also planning on submitting it to BME complete with
piccies.

For the record: we stopped at McDonalds for their $.49 cheeseburger deal.
They almost wouldn't give us 10 cheeseburgers. With 5 people in the car
and a limit of 6 per person, we could have gotten 30, goddamit.
I still think we should have.

i got there aroun 1:30, and i was sitting around waiting, when i saw a
lovely lady with a couple of piercings walk by. i was wearing my rabcon
shirt, and i look like i do, so i figured that anyone coming for the munch
would be able to figure out that i was part of the group. apparently,
Diana was too shy to talk to me. i didn't approach her, because sometimes
people have, uh, issues with someone like me coming up to them.

Boba Fett. get it right. he's clearly the most important character in
the trilogy. besides, they had the actual Boba Fett there. all of the
other displays said "Han Solo-Costume," or "Darth Vader-Costume," but when
we got to Boba Fett, there was no mention of costume. it was him, i tell
you.

yes they did. and for those of you that are wondering, noodle, biscit,
and pumpkin are all words for the head, according to the game.
we also watched fox files, and jim rose on the people's court, which is
the source of our new favorite word, "unsturdle."
> Then... much drinking... bottle of wine missing... determined Wendy
well, the rest of us talked, kristin rubbed my beard, Steph yanked on my
septum, alcohol was consumed, and wendy got tanked! it really was quite
entertaining.

i showed up with bagels and juice for everyone, and all i got was "where
are the donuts?" what a grateful bunch }:).

home of sales tax free shopping and a toll road. whee!

when i walked outside, there was a pack of about 7 alternateens hanging
about. when they saw me, their conversationhalted, and there was much
pointing and whispering. after a couple of minutes, their ambassador got
up the courage to ask me to buy them a pack of cigarettes. when i
declined, one of the lower ranking officials of the group exclaimed,
"deeeeeniiiied!" i thought it was funny.

i still can't believe i did that. i've joked about it for years, but now
i actually did it. i can't wait to stretch.

Just curious about the exhibit - do they mention Lucas's outright piracy of
both material, character types, and even writing/production methods from, among
others, Kurosawa's films like The Hidden Fortress? ;) Take that with a grain
of salt - I like Star wars, and I believe that to be a great artist you can't
just be influenced you have to steal (as the saying goes) but even the most
attempted pop-academic looks (like most exhibits tend to be) at Star Wars and
Lucas seem to overlook or leave this out in favor of a token nod to eastern
influences of philosophy in terms of the force and Jedi concept development.
The two main characters in The Hidden Fortress ARE C3P0 and R2D2...

So, yes. And no.

cold doesn't bother me, as was discussed repeatedly throughout the day.
some people just can't handle a guy in overhauls and a tshirt on a
pleasant winter day.

i have no use for such niceties.

then he shouldn't have gotten it done when there were so many
blabbermouths like me around. how do you know i wanted my intimate,
personal piercing announced? oh yeah, my post. i forgot }:).
> I'm a honorary DC resident. *Thwwwtt*
not until i see you succesfully navigate one of our traffic circles.

Gross.
> hey wendy, how cold was that water?
I'll tell you a secret. The reason why our water is so cold is because we
keep a jug of it in the fridge.
Don't tell anyone else though.
ObBodMod: it's so cold in my office my hands have turned a permanent shade
of blue

COLD. But hey, you got find that out for yourself, eh? Actually, I
spilled on PURPOSE. Muhahahahah! Ok, it wasn't on purpose, I was
unsturdle and I apologize. But, better I spill water than a WHOLE BOTTLE
OF WINE and 3 beers, hmm?

No arguements here.
One question though.....when Jabba/Boba/et al were trying to kill Solo &
Skywalker, what was the name of that thing/animal that they were getting
thrown in to ??

Sorry we didn't join y'all... but I had promised my sweetie a nice quiet dinner
and night at home together. :) (not to mention a trip to all the sex shops in
Dupont...
Thanks for a great time y'all... it was awesome. My tape turned out great...
about 20 minutes of munch footage (most of it of Josh half naked in Dupont with
Kristin not doing too good a job of holding his pants up) supplemented with
footage of Jen cleaning her belly button and my daith. (I can't see the holes
to clean it myself... I'm glad she's so gentle and will do it for me
Youse guys rock my world :)
