...and entry into the MPC
I've quit being a bum, now I'm making pizzas in denver. So with my first paycheck i re-upped on my premium membership which i would have done ages ago if it were not for the aforementioned bum situation. I also signed me up for some mpc. Id wager that you can count on an appearance by pops as well.
Funny story though about how it is I'm able to attend the mpc.....remember that plane ticket you guys bought me to worlds? Well after taking the train from bookers back to the airport I'm sitting in the terminal waiting to board my flight. When what should I hear over the loudspeaker but an offer from united airlines, I take a later flight instead of this one and they give me a free plane ticket! Well I'm up at the desk/kiosk thing before the lady has even put down the phone. She starts punching up the info for the switch or whatever when she realizes that taking the later flight will make me miss my connection in sanfransisco and the next flight out of san fran isnt till the next morning. So I ask what about the morning after that, can I get a flight then? Though she is clearly confused by why id want to do this she says that i can do that, and so that is what I do. You see, my mom lives like an hour from SFO so I even got a free visit to my mother in addition to a round trip ticket to anywhere in the continental us (includes philly!).
So that is why I am coming to the mpc! now can somebody tell me how to edit my blog so it doesnt look so monotone?

That's awesome! Yeah, getting bumped is really sweet, it's only happened to me a couple of times but when it does it's GREAT.
Glad to hear you & your dad will be at the MPC, see you there!

"If that is what people do what becomes the accepted way things are is the story that is most likely to be retold rather than the theory that best stands up to the challenge of observed reality. If nothing is ever challenged then the truth will be buried and crowded out by the good story, the nice sounding lie, the pleasant whimsy and the elegant myth."
