mp_en_viaje: you still hq'd in panama ?
jfw: yep
mp_en_viaje: well that's like an hour's flight, huh
jfw: yeah not bad, probably more time in waiting and ground transport
mp_en_viaje: aite, so hop on
jfw: got a time frame in mind yet?

mp_en_viaje: jfw, well, i plan on maybe going to rio late may ; other than that i'll be mostly around. pick a day, i don't specifically care which and it doesn't make any sense for you to try and coordinate with large groups at large distances -- if indeed there's a gathering you can take the hourish trip down again, at the considerable cost to you of a lunch out or w/e it is.
jfw: mp_en_viaje: alright, I'll go for Saturday March 28th. If that works for others too, so much the merrier.
mp_en_viaje: cool.
jfw: mp_en_viaje: what would be the town to stay in?
mp_en_viaje: costa rica is small, there's only practically the town of san jose.
jfw: heh, well whaack managed to find a beach with a commute to the grocery store
mp_en_viaje: everything else is you know, subrural. not as in, evansville rural, but as in "there is not a hotel here, just a gas station" rural.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, try and get a place on the west side, all the nice beaches are on the pacific coast, it'll save you an hour or so in infernal tico trafic to cross the town.
jfw: ty, noted
mp_en_viaje: heredia (where the local aspie class huddles) is pretty shitty, santa ana insanely expensive, escazu full of retarded (mostly retired) gringos.
mp_en_viaje: pick your poison.
mp_en_viaje: of course, if you're curious you can also go live downtown, hire a room in one of the prostitute hotels, get some very real 1950s bronx experience under your belt.
jfw: ooh, with complementary bedlice?
jfw checks, notes "bedlice" not actually a word
mp_en_viaje: nah, lifetime poor people are universally cleaner than the suburban priss mind gives them credit (on the basis of their very limited experience of bums, who are very specifically NOT the same thing -- a bum is an idiot with delusions of grandeur, a poor kid from a poor family is simply bereft of means)
mp_en_viaje: just, you know, ACTUALLY threadbare sheets, something i doubt you've ever seen irl.
mp_en_viaje: toothless 30yo women, "you get 32 teeth at birth, you can have 32 explanations in this life", and so on.
jfw: I admit I haven't seen.
mp_en_viaje: cuz they're hard to make, you know, chinese sheet can be had for what, $3. threadbare sheet can be had for 5-10k nights slept in, and handwashing weekly. what's that cost, $1mn ?
jfw: They must have them only at the finest places!
mp_en_viaje: i read once a sf story about some future world so bereft of actual meaning, people were buying "memories"
mp_en_viaje: so, yes, rather -- only at the finest places.
dorion: mp_en_viaje , jfw I'm game for the weekend of the 28th.
billymg: count me in for the 28th as well
mp_en_viaje: billymg, i thought you lived here
mp_en_viaje: dorion, a nice!
billymg: mp_en_viaje: yup, i'll be there permanently as of next monday. just figured i'd doubly confirm that i'll be around that weekend
billymg: mp_en_viaje: i didn't mean to invite myself to anything though, if it was meant to be only for a smaller group i'm happy to wait until called upon
mp_en_viaje: not that, but i figured we actually go have a cup of coffee this week
billymg: ah cool, yeah that would be good too
billymg: anytime after tuesday should work, just so i can rest after the flight over
whaack: mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-03-01#1958708 Apologies, I had responded to this without having +v and didn't realize the message didn't go through. (thankfully jfw pointed out I had missed the msg) I'm in Playa Junquillal, a beach in Guanacaste (the nearest city is Santa Cruz) . It's pretty close to billymg's location. I am game for the 28th.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-03-01 11:35:04 mp_en_viaje: speaking of which, where in cr are you whaack ? i dun remember
mp_en_viaje: billymg, cool.
mp_en_viaje: whaack, i usually beach central rather than north, but maybe we drive up there one day, check it out
