BlogMeet, Etc. Report

Pretty good turnout for a spur-of-the-week BlogMeet: Old Grouch, Shermlock, the recovering Brigid, Don -- aka Lurker 2 -- and spouse, The Jack, Tam K. and Mr. Engineering Johnson, a first-time attendee! Photo to follow, if it came out. (Brigid's came out better.)...Which it did. Several folks decided to not be photographed in, of all places, a pub (and I can well understand, Carrie Nation not being quite as departed as one might hope). (That's a joke, I say, that's a joke, son....) This did not include The Jack, who fell victim to my photographic, er, "skills." (I prefer candid shots -- but they do not always work out. Or is it "always do not?")

I did get some things in a very short visit to the Indy 1500: two books (including the latest M. Z. Williamson) and a knife for a co-worker. And possibly more; stay tuned!

    I got a few photos, will post in a couple hours after I finish Frau Helga's Physical Therapy assignment for the day (it involves a large inflatable ball, unflattering gym shorts and several four letter words).

    It was great to see everyone again.

    Cool! All I did today was shoot and install a TV in the basement.

    Did Mad Mike have a table at the Indy 500?

    Durn it. Sorry I missed you all but especially Brigid.

    Just try to keep the next one away from the 12th of February; I'll be on the road headed west from the Den of Iniquities, AKA Washington DC, that day.

    Glad you are feeling better. I was hoping on making the Indy show and blog meet, but sleeping in won out. Hope to make the spring show.

    I'll second Nathan's motion and amend to request that you schedule for Feb. 19. I'm sorry that I couldn't make it this weekend.

    Her eyes! I can see Tam's eyes!

    Would a scream be funny at this juncture?

    I understand Padre attended too. I'm glad he was able to meet you all.
