Anyways this dinner was very clearly a "non-sponsored dinner" from the getgo. But a whole pile of people ended up showing up..

Well inevitably the cheque showed up and everyone bolted like the cheap fucks that they were. Magnus, Joel from Gamma and a few other people got stuck with the bill.

This situation has happened to me personally so many times I care not to remember. Hence the reason I won't go to a dinner that will inevitably turn into a clusterfuck with people either forgetting their wallets or expecting me, Sleazydream or Platinum Dave to pay LOL!

Anyways I don't want to talk down or discourage a webmaster dinner it's just that if it's going down please make sure you bring your wallet and don't be a cheap fuck when the bill shows up.

We remember cheap asses ;)

DH
thats why i always make sure i find out and if not i let people know that i am more than willing to cover my part plus some of the people that bolt. if i am invited i always make sure with the people doing it that i am invited and offer to throw in.
