Writeups on Austin Reception Weekend
Wish you were here. (originally posted on April 23, 2005)
(two of our wonderful nomads passed out on Jesse's couch; what you don' t see is the noisy party around them that was still raging 30 people strong. The only problem with this picture is we didn't think about being creative with color markers when we had the opportunity.)
Writeups:
"- That damned picture with Drake posted on the homepage of Nomadlife for all to see...and not finding out about it until the next morning! All these years of maintaining my good reputation, all in vain!" (Sheila)
"-New Austin @er without a tshirt, you remind us of Devrim. You've got a bright future ahead of you, slime away." (Drake) (ed: he refers to JeffFromAustin)
"All encompassing. Mom came along for the ride." (MelT)
"One person held down the body, while another held its neck out and up in order to provide a nice target for the knife." (MixMaster)
"too bad jen and jill decided to waste money on movies and popcorn rather than come to reception weekend in austin."(dturk)
" the drinking chairs around me are empty now. we offered the dode our austin, texas and he graced us with the last supper.<"(johnyd)
"I could have stayed another week, especially if Mike wouldn't have pulled me out of the car with the girls in it." (T-rent)
"Some returned to the water hole to watch drunken swimming squirrels and the sunset from the landbridge."(Saki)
"The only thing that I didn't like about the weekend was how fast it went by."(Amber)
"Surreal is not the word. I always find myself part nostalgic, part dreamy and very often removed from my immediate reality when reconnecting with old friends." (Surya)
"trent and mike did not shower for two days. it was no use to drag trent out of the car full of girls into the car going to the airport,"(Jesse)
" a weekend of drunken revelry, great laughs, beautiful weather, gorgeous people (AIESECers are so hot)." (Tranish)
"Saturday was fun even though I got off to a late start. I had learned from previous day-long hangovers that I can drink large amounts of booze but only with strict guidelines, guidelines I forgot on Friday."(plovegren)
"The much waited shisha arrived later without tobacco and the ceramic bowl; it was DOA (dead on arrival). We tried to McGyvered it but failed; Esprit de Corp hit bottom."(the dode)
Pending writeups:
La Contessa, fnord, cragnes, angie, celestaimee, the dode, wontong
Big kudos to jlovegren for an awesome after party and aga + fnord for hosting the one and only High Society.
This weekend by far is the largest congegration of nomadlifers in flesh which probaby earn an honour as the first nomadfest. The rumour indicates that the next gathering will be in Instanbul, Turkey.
Wanted: Pictures from the weekend.

Damn, I really wanted to smoke the "brat fest" inspired shisha (Onion for a bowl, beer in the izaz: 100% Lady Proof).
It was a great vision that became a symbol for humanities impotance.
