It's that time of year again, boys and girls. It's time to drive to Atlanta, stay up till the wee hours, and fondle your friends without getting slapped. It's time to drink like fish, laugh like hyenas, and haggle for the return of whatever clothes you left on that girl's floor. It's time for Fantasm. Ideally, I would have been rested up for the journey into decadence, but that wasn't my fate for this trip. After working a couple of doubles, I was dead tired. Additionally, after nursing a cough for 2 weeks and watching it wax and wane with dubious intentions, I was a bit rough around the edges. Sleep wasn't my bedfellow, for Nyquil and a sack full of cough drops had kicked that bitch to the curb. But, I was planning on leaving Sleep at home anyway, so I guess it was letting her down early to avoid her for a few days pre-con.

So after sleeping till 1pm on Thursday, running errands, and incessantly bitching about the time, I finally got on the road by 3pm. Crap... and here I was planning on driving up on Wednesday! Anyhoo, I got to the hotel and claimed my little spot of hell for me and my crew. The hotel was a notorious dive, but I was prepared. If the room was too foul, I had extra sheets, clean towels, and a disco ball to help out. Additionally, most of the rooms had fridges and microwaves, so I had plans to hit the local grocery and stock up on in-room consumables. Who needs "real" food when you have booze?

Time too hook up wit da crew. I love that my Huntsvegas friends are active at Fantasm!

The Jonestown group held a Revenge of the Nerds party on Thursday Night to get things warmed up.

But I didn't really need any help getting warmed up... I got to see old friends!

And a few stars of film and tv... Check it out! It's The Enigma and Katzen.
You might recognise him from X-files or The Jim Rose Sideshow.

What would fantasm be without flirting with Stacy?

BODY SHOTS! Man, the lesbians get all the fun!

All the movie fraternities and sororities were represented... notice the Tri-Lam in the background.

AAAAH! The Alpha Betas have shown up!
"Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!"

What would a fraternity party be without keg stands?

Earl is Booger... and I'm an Alpha Beta... HAHAHHAHA.. ME in the pretty-boy frat!

You know Dave is having a good time when he lowers his gaze... And check out Kim... rawr!

Here are the REAL nerds, sitting on the sidelines in the computer room.

Kurt shows me what he wants to do to me later... the sweetie.

I can't help but ponder what's inspiring that face...
Is it the butt?
