A ROB UPDATE
I see Rob's brother David has announced there will be a memorial service for Robbie at Fox & Weeks in Savannah at 4 PM on Thursday. I plan to attend. If anyone needs a ride, or a place to stay in Savannah, I am at your service.
I had originally planned to sponsor some fellowship at the Exchange Tavern after the service, that establishment being a favorite for me and Rob, and where I first met him. However, David has graciously offered a celebration at the family home, at 1505 Buckingham Way. That sounds perfect. The ancestral stomping grounds.
And as David's tolerance goes, so go we. I may still host an after-celebration celebration at the Exchange, to give the Smith family some respite. Acid Tales do tend to run long, and Mother Truth finds herself, if not ravaged, then certainly egregiously fondled.
But that is a mere potentiality. If anyone plans to attend Rob's service, and needs assistance, please e-mail me.
Sure wish I could make it Velociman. Cheapest flights down & back are running almost $1500 Cdn. Argh.

Posted by: og at June 27, 2006 8:17 PM... see you in Savannah, Kim...
Posted by: Eric at June 27, 2006 8:18 PMFor those who wish to attend, but cannot, I plan to burn a homeless person at 11:05 PM. Not to worry about the environment, though. I'll use a dumpster.
I'm just kidding. Sheesh.
Got a ride, but I may be begging for a place to sleep. Sure to see you there.

Posted by: ga at June 27, 2006 11:37 PMV-Man, I'll see you on Thursday. I'll have son in tow, but I'll be there.
Posted by: Gennie at June 28, 2006 12:31 AMSee you there, Kim.
The Exchange was beloved unto Robbo; it's the least we can do to toast his memory there.
Posted by: Elisson at June 28, 2006 12:50 AMA dear friend of mine and I are working on it, trying to see if I can come too and if I'm able, I may very well need you myself, V-man.
I'll letcha know as soon as I do.
And, man... you're words are... "poetry" doesn't do them justice.
Especially the previous post.
(And, you are aware that you are on my (very short) list of "Beloved Ones", right? Goood... S'long as you do know that... *hugs*)
Posted by: Stevie at June 28, 2006 7:22 AMWish we could go. Someday, though, we'll be down that way and meet up with you.
Posted by: Jay at June 28, 2006 11:40 AMV-man, I emailed ya... just wanted to give you a heads up...
Posted by: Stevie at June 28, 2006 6:07 PMI've rolled it around in my head seventeen ways to Sunday and I just can't make it, so please hoist one for me at the Exchange in his own self's honor. Maybe make it one of those flaming shots so he can have the Viking funeral he asked for.
I'll be with you folks in spirit wishing I could hear the stories.
Posted by: Libby at June 28, 2006 8:11 PMI am most dismayed at the astounding fares they want to get my furry ass from Tucson to Savannah at this late date. I'd very much like to attend, but alas, I can't swing it.
Posted by: Desert Cat at June 29, 2006 1:38 AMHi Vman,
I have used your sidebar pic's on my site, I hope they are not copyrighted.
Cheers
A report? I want to at least have attended the festivities vicariously.
Wait...it's 11 AM Savannah time. There's no way the hangover will permit coherent writing for at least five more hours.
Nevermind.
Posted by: Desert Cat at June 30, 2006 11:13 AMI'm afraid you're probably right DC.
** waiting impatiently for the Vman's take on things**
