8:30 AM. Eyes pop open, bright eyed and bushy tailed. I was a bit worried initially that I would be too tired for my presentation later that evening, but I felt great in spite of rolling into 48 hours with 6 hours of sleep. The four of us get dusted off and head out to get some food.



3 dashing bastards early in the morning.

We then walked around and asked some cops were to get breakfast. Snow White cafe was about as legitimate as one could find as far as city diners go. We ate there every day. Dingle whined like a bitch about it too, but more on that later.

After breakfast, we walked through Liberty Park on our way downtown to South Street. We gazed up the buildings where the Declaration of Independce and the Constitution where drafted. It was pretty cool to think about that place. Then we were off to see the Liberty Bell.





Me and the bell.

After the bell, we walked downtown. Philly is a pretty cool city. We stopped into the Condom Kingdom (BnB has a pic in his thread) and all wished we could have bought the pocket pussy there. They also had butt plugs, big ones, but nothing like Puffy's. We did get mord a present though.

We leave Condom Kingdom and walk about 30 feet when Dingle asks: "Hey guys, I gotta take a shit. Anyone want to stop for a beer?" We happened to be in front of Fat Tuesdays, so we stopped in.

As we were having our first drinks (it's about noon right now, maybe even a little earlier), we get a call from MstrG and the Super8 gang. They had arrived at our hotel, so we gave them directions and waited for them to show up. It didn't take long.

They showed up and we gave mord his presents:





So here is the throng thus far:



mord, G, jinx, smug, lunacy, goat, dingle, BnB, PMG



Smug, lunacy, goatboy, dingle, jinx, Nute, mini-MstrG, MstrG, PMG, mordecai

I had to leave around 2 PM to go to the conference. When I left, everyone was pretty sober and Fat Tuesdays was still empty and rather tame. I walked back to the hotel and then caught a bus to the campus. Here is a picture of the old capital building from behind I took at the bus stop.



My conference went very well. No technical difficulties, I ran on time, had good feedback, etc. etc. Good experience for me. Afterwards, I downed a big coffee (running close to 10% sleep over the last 2 days) and caught a cab back to the hotel. Dropped off my computer and walked back down to Fat Tuesdays.

I had no idea what I was walking into....
