Kinda spoils the whole "spontaneous" part, but it's a hefty one, so I thought I'd ask.

Wanna go to Minnesota next week? Alison wants to talk to my friend Guido about signing his band for her new record label, and I wanna be there when she pops the question, because he's going to do something amusing like wet himself or fall over. Pleasepleaseplease say you'll come? She's asking Lorna, and I'm gonna see if Doug wants to go too, but you're kind of essential to the plan because a. you're essential to the plan and b. Guido isn't entirely convinced you exist. It'll mean long hours sitting right next to me . . . *puppydog eyes*

Alison wants to go surprise Guido with a record deal, next week. Wanna go watch him implode?

And don't worry, I asked her, she's bringing an extra one of Doc McCoy's remote-system doohickeys, you won't miss any important e-mails. :)

I'll pack Wet Wipes, then.

And AHA!

I don't think you have to worry about it. Check back to this post of Doc MacTaggart's that got insane numbers of comments--she was way too easily flustered. And she thinks you have a nice butt. There are worse starts.

Sounds good.

And no. No Aha. There is nothing at all to see here, move along. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, bro.

I...I dunno, man. Look at my track record. :-/

Um, and I am sortakinda IMing her right now. And no, you may _not_ try and find where I'm camped out with my laptop to read over my shoulder.

Could she come with us to Minneapolis on the Great Guido Embarassment Trip? She gets back next Monday, and we were planning on leaving Tuesday, right?

From: {Y'know, I like that Lemur of the Revolution thing.}

Ah, but denial implies there's something there to deny. Thus the aha. And forget your track record, this is an entirely different thing.

Good luck with the IMing. ;)

And sure, she can come. I'm bringing Kitty, and I'm pretty sure Lorna's bringing Alex, so hey.

Okay, maybe there's something to deny. At least on my part. I remain unconvinced that there's something on her part. And I think my track record is _entirely_ relevant. It's not different. It's me being an idiot over a girl. Again.

And thanks. Will let her know. She can apparently really use a trip with people who aren't terminally cranky and so forth.

Well, hopefully she'll get clue enough to convince you, then, I know I won't be able to.

And your track record is irrelevant. You're doing this completely the other way around. Paige and Marie, you started with the deniable feelings and then you felt like you were settling for friendship. Angie was your friend first, will continue to be your friend, and maybe if you both play your cards right (ahaha, just my little joke there) you'll be something else too. Worked for me, you may note.

No worries on the cranky score. We may need to rent a bus, but it'll be a terminally uncranky bus.

Okay, I think we've exhausted stupid email aliases.

That presumes that she _wants_ to convince me. Which would require aforementioned deniable feelings on her part. Which we have no clue about the existence of.

And yeah, maybe I came at this from a better direction, but...I was speaking more of complete lack of deniable feelings on the other person's part when I referred to track record.

Very uncranky bus. And what's wrong with these newfangled things called airplanes?

Oh, fine, but only because it's late at night.

You have seen her comments in Lorna's post, yes? She's doing math homework. You're the code-boy, break that one. :)

If we went on an airplane, how would it be a road trip? Road trips need roads. Otherwise they're just trips.
