[9fans] Possibility of a lift to Boyd's wake ...

[Dave Lukes]

A couple of people (not me: I'd already booked my ticket) may be 
driving over on Saturday
(assuming it's on Saturday) and there may be a spare seat or 2.

If anyone's interested, contact me and I'll put everyone in touch.

i'm really sorry for losing boyd.  i hope it wasn't premature (though
those things are always premature).  if i could catch a lift from
canada...

the way i'll remember him is the way another 9fan described him to me
after my countless attempts to understand him -- "battle scarred" they
said.  that put everything in perspective and made it clear.

sad loss...

Too bad I'm not in Holland anymore; I'd muster up some cash and I'd _so_ 
be there. It's a bit too expensive and far from San Jose, California 
(where I am now).

Though if I had the money, there'd be no price too much to be there. 
I'll be there in mind and spirit. If someone who goes would relay a 
goodbye from me, it'd be quite kind :'(

Devon/Andrey/Steve/Anyone else,
With your permission, I'll put together a list of "absent friends" to 
be read out out at the wake.

So far, from 9fans, I've got:

Steve Simon
Devon O'Dell
Andrey Mirtchovski

Anyone else who wishes to be included, please email me.

Dave.

Please add my name to that list.

Though I have to say....  I think Boyd would be, while undoubtedly
somewhat flattered by the attention, also somewhat taken aback by all
this sadness.  I could imagine him saying something along the lines of,
``Bollocks; drink some red and go shoot something instead of sitting
around crying about it.''

Dave, you knew him better than I did; what do you think his reaction
would be?

I agree: the sadness is for us: the large quantities of (il)legal 
psychoactives we will consume will be for Boyd:-).

  ... " and get that plan9 USB floppy boot working".

You're right, Dan.
I suspect he would have described the whole concept as "fucked to 
buggery"
and called bullshit on it, but would nonetheless have been flattered.

Please add me to the list, I have nothing to add to what has already
been said, better than I could say it, except that I will also miss
Boyd greatly.

That's a very kind thought, and I would like to take you up on it.

I quite often defended his posts to this list.  I always read them.
Sometimes I understood them, but I could always count on them
being short and to the point.
I'll miss them.
