Patty is Dead said...

Unknown said...

ColScott said...

Saint


Walk away from the gravestone and DO NOT touch the charcoal

Patty is Dead said...

Truth or Dare colonel I want to see you face to face and look into your eyes when you make your accusations. I will tell you what i know to be true. I will be in LA For the tour.

David said...

Are we still back there? Remember the “grave rubbings” were my idea last year.

That said, I’d really like to meet you this tour, Col.

Unknown said...

lol Col was a class act and real gentleman in person... I too hope to see him again as well as everyone else 😀

ColScott said...

St. You were the surprise of my one and only trip. A great bloke as they say. I enjoyed that trip very much.

Since losing the love of my life (Matt) I could not imagine a future tour. I will miss Patty's bloodshot eyes

David said...

Ok, Col.,

Can't do a tour event. How about lunch? I'll come down early if that works or stay late.

Thanks very much Col!

I hope we can all get together and just move on as friends. My fingers are crossed!!

David I am looking forward to meeting you as well!!

See you all very soon!!

Patty is Dead said...

Actually you came on two tours. There are pics of you and Liz; Liz and ST have never met. I know it's hard for you to keep details straight. You're welcome.

ColScott said...

PataCake Graver- I went on one tour. I introduced Hendrickson to everyone and Max Frost. I paid for a Van rental and a big dinner at El Coyote. I was open and supportive of everyone- it was a great trip. Then I pointed out several tours later that your (and others) fangirl behavior with killer Adam Gabriel and collection of murder "souvenirs" was unseemly and somehow Matt decided that the criticism was directed at him alone and has not reconciled with me yet despite my desire and attempts to do so. So as the great Kurt Vonnegut would say, "Take a flying fuck at a rolling donut..."

ColScott said...

David/Saint

I expect to be on a Yacht in the Exhumas through May 25th, drinking Mai Tais and photographing swimming pigs. I also understand there is a famous plantation murder site on one on the Islands and Stoner is hoping I will get him some Slave Murder Souvenirs. (Arrested Development Narrator: "I won't.")

I am sorry I will miss you but I am certain the group will take you to all the fabulous places

Terrapin said...

At this time every year i wish that at this time next year i'll have the funds to travel from the sunny shores of Australia to the sunny shores of California for this tour. But every year it rolls around i seem to be in a worse financial position than the last. Once again i'll live vicariously through you all so make sure youse have a great time :)

Unknown said...

Sounds amazing Col. Have a safe trip and maybe next time...

Unknown said...

Also Col...

You went on two tours. The rented tour can you met Liz. You met us at El Coyote a second time because Liz was not on the tour I went to ...

Also - I picked up the tab lol. Getting to finally meet you was a thrill. They would have had to shoot me to get that check out of my hand lol but Max was there too maybe you are blurring them 😀

In any case it was a great night and a lot of fun to meet you

Unknown said...

The tour you rented the van for I meant. I was not on that tour...

ColScott said...

St

I may have joined you at El Coyote a second time then, but I did not partake of tour events that time methinks

Unknown said...

No you just came for dinner 😀

ColScott said...

Hence, I did not partake of two tours.

All this is moot since Matt now a hater

Zelda Formaldehyde said...

Still considering joining .... work schedule is a bear at the best of times. By the way, Zelda isn't some maudlin, murder freak-woman with a bad name, but actually a conservative, Canadian fellow. Hanging with Matt The Hater doesn't scare me.

You guys should do a Susan Atkins Tour. Starting from Her home in San Gabriel, then Her home in San Jose, to Carlton Elementary School, to Leigh High School, to Her home in Los Banos, to Los Banos High School, to the place where She worked as a telemarketer, to the place where She worked as a waitress, to the place where She was a topless dancer, then to the Black House, the place She was living when She met Manson, to 636 Cole St., to 14400 Sunset Blvd, to the place where they lived in Mendocino, Spahn Ranch, and finally Barker Ranch. A tour to honor Susie.
