From: [identity profile] emo-snal.livejournal.com
Granted most of it didn't happen. It started with:

(7:01:59 PM) hobocagefight: where did you go to?
(7:02:27 PM) snail of DEATH: hmmm an apartment off 10th street in seal beach
(7:02:29 PM) snail of DEATH: second floor
(7:02:34 PM) snail of DEATH: or actually I guess that's third
(7:02:36 PM) snail of DEATH: kitchen
(7:02:38 PM) snail of DEATH: and livingroom
(7:03:07 PM) hobocagefight: that is specific
(7:03:54 PM) snail of DEATH: I hung out in the southwest corner but the guy playing bartender was located behind the bar in the northwest corner
(7:04:46 PM) hobocagefight: >Look DELICIOUS BEER
(7:05:58 PM) snail of DEATH: hahaha "you behold many delicious beers, and some undelicious"

...

and from there on out we were pretty much making things up and being goofy. (:
