Only after you finish modeling a few... gotta make sure your gifts fit ;-)

Someone needs to go run a bit more

[Trebs]

Naw, a little something to grab onto is sometimes nice ;-) Plus, for a tall guy, that's not ~that~ bad

[dkstories]

BTW, Trebs, I'm very worried I might know you...but if I did you'd have probably recognized my name...I did live in Sacramento from 95 to 97 with Manuel. 16&H Streets, and 13&G were the two intersections for the complexes we lived in...I went to Faces and a few other bars a lot after the breakup.

 

I was even on News10 during 1997 for an interview about a gay non-discrimination bill I was testifying on for Sheila Kuehl. (Remind me to talk about that in a blog sometime...I also sat next to the Rev. Lou Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition).

[Trebs]

Worried?

 

You lived around the corner from where my work was then (20th & I) - I was living at 29th and G myself...

 

I never was much of a bar person, though I did go a couple time to Faces and to Beau's... But I'm one of those that only talks/dances with the friends I go with, and get scared to talk to anyone else... (ogle - ya, talk - nope, coward...)

 

 

'course, if ya really wanna verify if you knew me or not... I know some good coffee places around town... it is only a 70 minute drive up, as you pointed out yourself

[dkstories]

Is that brick coffee house still there, the one that use to be a firehouse and that has a laundromat across the street (yes, I'd go there to do laundry and have coffee while waiting for the tumble dry.)

[Trebs]

Nope, original New Helvetia closed - building is still there, but think it's empty. The branch they opened near DMV on 24th south of Broadway is still open though. I used to go to Cornerstone myself

Are we having a Dan convention in Sacremento? That would give me an excuse to get to Sacremento

[dkstories]

Well I may be going to Great America with Manuel this weekend. We'll have to see.

At least you're not trying to stab me with a sword

Before you complain, you should see the sword.

[dkstories]

I feel a road trip to Missouri coming on me...

Ooooo. Playing both ends against the middle

 

Ooooo. You've been learning Dan's tactics

[NaperVic]

I was just re-reading the posts on this thread and I thought to myself, 'Self, is this where Trebs & DK all started?'

 

Dan? Trebs? Or were you already talking/meeting before that?

Hadn't met before that - this was the first time I put out there to him about meeting though (I'm pretty sure). This was actually the 2nd big exchange - the first being the Dan live chat that was set up (was going to be a regular "Chat with the Authors" thing).

 

But it was a week after this thread that in Live Chat he mentioned not having seen Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and me sending him a note about going down to Modesto to see it with him if he were interested...

[NaperVic]

Wow, I just realized it's been about 2 years since Trebs(Robert) & DK met.

Jesus, now THIS is real-life irony that makes its way into my stories. I loved the New Helvetia coffee shop. It was in this old brick firehouse from the 1800's. It's a really nice building, and just had this wonderful ambiance that I loved. It was one of my favorite spots in mid-town Sacramento. Lots of good memories there, and I was sad to hear the coffee shop was closed way back when I posted that and Trebs replied.

 

Guess what?

 

I now WORK in that building! The second floor of it is office space (there's now a nice restaurant/catering business on the first floor). The campaign/consulting firm I work for is located in the office space on the second floor, so I spend most of my week there. I've got a lot to be thankful for over the last two years since Trebs finally wheedled me into going to see a movie with him.
