That was in the early days of DU. It was like the Wild West; emphasis on the ‘Wild’.

My Friday Night drinking threads are fun. And I love you all. But parties at The Grotto were next level.

The Lounge members are expanding so I do believe that we need to add an addition.

I'm not saying we need a ridiculous tacky ballroom addition for the record.

We've picked up a few additional Lounge members and so that's what I meant by expanding.

I noticed that we have another Lounger that's MIA, besides LuckyCharms. I can't remember their DU handle though.

Then when you point out that MIA is MIA people would think you're talking in riddles.

Lucky will come back to us. I know he will.
