…I'm still planning on using lestat as a pillow/attack cat.. thou, that may not seem enough… do not under-estimate the spirit of the dying crow I tending to in the back of a station wagon many years ago.. that spirit invoked me when I was a very small child, and we are one in the same now.. Caw-Caw!!!

-Caw!

Bite me. No one said you had to use it.

I will be cooking all weekend for those who wish to keep their spending money to a minimum and eat better food than you can get eating out anyways. Nothing will be grilling too. A small fee of $20 will be collected upon arrival for those who wish to take advantage of this.

For those of you who think me cooking is a scary thing, I have references. Narcissus, Caden, Forget, Drom, and several others have all eaten my cooking and didn't die. On the contrary, they've come back for more.

Steaks, pancakes, burgers, hot dogs, mashed potatoes and other tastey treats will be some of the things offered on the Nothing and Nevermore Household menu Mudfest weekend. I promise to keep squid and fish eyes to a minimum for the sake of poor Shaba's delicate stomach.

BIG Thanks to Len. (L. Ron Hubbard) & Raven for hosting Mudfest 2006, had a great time, and got to see zeus again too! (:x).

It was nice to get to hang out with everyone again (and meet some people I hadn't met before).

I am now cultured in the "water-mellon" arts.

w00t!

Just wanted to second Caden's sentiment. I had an awesome time on Friday night, and it was fun meeting everybody.

Representin' for my Bottom Porch homies,

Sorry I missed everyone :-( I was either working or waiting around for kitchen contractors (in vain, of course) all weekend. grumble

MMM that's some good cooking.
