    New England, USA. That used to be the location on my profile, before "virgo supercluster" and others.

    I liked the song. I watched it on youtube though.

    I could hardly believe that was true, but every source that I checked said it was all true.

    Larry was so awesome, I wish there had been a happier ending to his story.

    Well, at least he survived his flight.

    I think that there should be a Larry Walters memorial flying lawnchair balloon event.

    I guess flying in a hot air balloon would be a somewhat tamer version of this.

    I hear there is a kinda fun tradition of bringing a bottle of champagne along, and whoever's property you land on you share the champagne with them.

    thanks everyone for the congratulations. the shock is still wearing off - we've known for 6 days. ...and now i have about 8 months of non-Dad-ness left in my life!

    exiting and scary and happy


    :2thumbsup:


    yeah that story about him is pretty unreal.
    Pinback is an awesome band.

    i think i've heard of other people attempting the lawnchair thing, but i can't recall specifics.

    I just had my first ultrasound on Monday 3/31 and ended up finding out... well, I'll make a thread about this in a min or two but I'm further along than I thought by almost 3 wks-I am 15 weeks along tomorrow and due Sept. 24. :)
