embargo.... hmmm... someone has very juicy info that they have to keep all to themselves. No fun. Would this embargo end Thursday by chance?
I think everyone involved is under one of these. People I was tight with as of a month ago from *a certain place* won't email me back.
Maybe it means something different in Spanish? :P
So...what you are trying to tell me is that I'll be buying a ticket to Vegas soon??
I'm saying nothing of the sort! I have no official information... and when I do get it... I won't be allowed to tell it for a while. Unless Sandi can come up with a different translation...
Awww, I hate that word!!
hmmm...i thought an embargo was some kind of boat thing... ;-)
Okay so I couldn't sleep last night and kept thinking up scenarios for today's announcement. lol :)
So..what you are telling me is that you will know hours before the rest of the world, but are sworn to secrecy until the embargo is lifted in the "undetermined city" that just happens to be in the Pacific time zone.
Do you at least get to go to that part of the announcment too?? Hope so!
