Am I a dweeb because I am in SF and want to make it a priority to visit the Fluther offices (and get more lurve too)?

Asked by JonnyCeltics (2721points) August 31st, 2011

…just wondering :)

I don’t live here, live in NYC, so…..!

I am pretty sure there is no such thing as the “Fluther offices” anymore. Well, there is – but it’s @augustlan’s home, which is not in SF. Sorry!

But to answer your question, nah, that doesn’t make you a dweeb, not in my eyes!

Judi's avatar

Oh no! I hope there is still an office! I want to go some day too!

downtide's avatar

No, there is no Fluther office any more. It’s run from @Augustlan’s house (which is almost certainly not open to random visitors).

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

There’s not an office in San Francisco anymore. Sorry. :(

Keep_on_running's avatar

Just curious, what happened to it?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I beheaded everyone with my shovel and burned the office down. They weren’t around to rebuild.

Yes. Yes you are. But that’s cool.

Um, you have to stalk Auggie, now, to get the Guacamole Award. She has a whip and she’s not afraid to use it. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

AmWiser's avatar

I wouldn’t say you were a dweeb (maybe needy) ~. But seriously I don’t think there is one jelly that wouldn’t want to get that LURVE.

Allie's avatar

Well, if there’s no office anymore, I guess you could visit where it used to be – 2431 Mission Street.

Judi's avatar

@Allie , do you think if we asent @augustlan a picture we would get the award?

AmWiser's avatar

@Judi what a swell idea, but don’t you think many pictures would be duplicated just to get the Guacamole Award?

Judi's avatar

Humm. There would have to be a way to prove that it wa authentic.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I had to venture into the wilds of West Virginia and get smacked with a whip to get the damned award. At least it was bejeweled! The whip, not the award…

@Keep_on_running Just curious, what happened to it?

The founders of the site were hired away by Twitter.

Keep_on_running's avatar

Oh, so who runs the place and looks after all the technical stuff?

Mariah's avatar

Yeah you can get Guacamole by sending Auggie mail.

FutureMemory's avatar

Augustlan is the head moderator/manager of the site. It seems the technical stuff is still handled by the original “technical people”, when they have the time. That’s how it appears, anyway.

marinelife's avatar

There are no more Fluther offices to visit. Sorry. But if you find yourself in West Virginia . . .

Idea for pilgrimage to the Fluther Holy Land: What if a local hid a geocache near the original offices containing a unique item. To get the award, you could message a description or photo of the item to Augustlan.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

If no one is camped out at the SF office any more, then we need to consider Augustlan HQ.

I like the idea of a geocache. It would be really cool if Augustlan made one in the form of a guest book, where members that visited her or she met up signed a guest book using their Fluther name. Maybe it could be more of a scrapbook with their photo and moniker.

augustlan's avatar

Since Fluther HQ is now located at my house in West Virginia, I’m afraid being in SF doesn’t do you much good. Maybe you could take a picture of yourself outside the old HQ, and send it to me? (You can also get the award by meeting me or sending me mail.)

The geocache is a cool idea, too. Any SF locals interested in collaborating on one?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@augustlan HA! I didn’t realize I had the guacamole award! At least I don’t think I knew that… ffs I have no memory anymore!

augustlan's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate Sending me a whip in the mail will get you everywhere, darling. :p

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@augustlan Ooohhh baby! What if I send handcuffs next time? ;)

XOIIO's avatar

What’s where the offices used o be now?

btw @WillWorkForChocolate Nice… necklace, that’s totally why your picture is so good.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Dammit, @WillWorkForChocolate, don’t give her handcuffs, we barely survived the whip!!!

Berserker's avatar

I’m still planning to send Auggie some porn so I can get that damn Guacamole award.

I’m actually really serious about this, although what I send may not be porn.

Dr_C's avatar

@Symbeline she’d likely appreciate the porn.

JonnyCeltics's avatar

Can I plead for the award (name?) for visiting the offices in spirit? :)

zensky's avatar

Open a new office when you get there. Put Dr. J in the window and wait for us.

augustlan's avatar

Hey, @JonnyCeltics since you’re already there, take a pic of you outside the old office, and just PM it to me. I’ll count that. :)

Nullo's avatar

If you’re a dweeb, you at least have good company. :D I wanted to do the same thing.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@JilltheTooth But, handcuffs are sooooo fun! And I really enjoyed the whip!

chyna's avatar

@JonnyCeltics I just want to flaunt the fact that I have the guacamole award.

augustlan's avatar

By the way, this question has prompted me to look into getting a PO Box for just this reason! I’m working on it, people. :)

JonnyCeltics's avatar

Arghh – I left without checking this and being able to visit @augustlan. I’m sure I’ll be back at some point. :) @chyna – jealous!

FutureMemory's avatar

@JonnyCeltics Did you even read your own thread?

There is no San Francisco office anymore.

zensky's avatar

@augustlan Just blow up a pic of Dr. J poster size and hang it on your porch. That’ll suffice. I don’t know if anyone will send an actual letter anymore anyway.

FutureMemory's avatar

If Auggie posts a PO BOX, I would bet a thousand bucks she gets at least 20 post cards within 30 days.

augustlan's avatar

Which would be so much fun!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@FutureMemory I don’t do post cards. I send bondage toys. =0)

JonnyCeltics's avatar

@FutureMemory – chill. was referring to @augustlan‘s mention of being able to take a picture of the old offices…
