hahaha, if there's a chance that's true, then Bast blew it big time. 
100% completely TRUE!
I even PM'd him the other day explaining how he fcked up...his response?
"...didnt feel like driving".
Poor kid.
If I may tackle that answer for you, Lord Squadfather...if I were in BAST-ado's shoes. I would have went there...went to the Pride booth where she was working, hugged her and whispered in her LEFT ear, not her right ear...her LEFT ear, I'd put my hand at the small of her back and move her closer to me and whisper something along the lines of...
"...hey Jenny...I'm picking you up after this expo thing shuts down...I dont care what you're doing cancel it...I'm picking you up at 9..."
Then walked away without giving her a second to tell you NO.
I would have hit her with a TEXT at 8pm(1 hour after expo ended) with the name of hotel ONLY and maybe room number...map-quested it and fkn GOT IT DONE!
