Dianne and I enjoyed the evening very much!
Thank you to all who attended and participated.
Meeting each of you was a pleasure.
And to Christa and Writer Girl,
Thank you ever so much for setting things in motion for this evening to happen.
You both exhibit, and live, what it is that builds a strong community.

It was a great time! My thanks to Christa and Emmy…and I enjoyed meeting everyone. Please, let’s do it again.

The twenty minutes or so that my wife and I spent there was the most fun I’ve had without my kids in a long time. Thanks to Christa and Emmy for organizing it.

Let’s do it next month at Cally’s (Calhouns). The temptation to toss someone off of the roof simply won’t be there. :-)

Time for Sime, folks!

Though the roof was not a point of temptation for me, I agree with everything else that folks have said. Finnegan gets kudos, too, for starting the blog in the first place. Community building is cool.

I had a good time. I’m glad I got to meet you all. If we’re are going to do it again we should do it on the roof of John Calhouns Feel Good Ragtime Beeratorium and Old Fashioned Vittledashery, so the throwing off of the roof thing could still be a possibility.

My only complaint was the beer bottles were too big!!!!!!!! I did manage to polish it off though!

I like to pretend the bottles up there are regular size and I’m simply tiny while saying things like, “They coome in pints?! I’m getting one!”
Sara and I also had a great time last night. It’s definitely going to make the blog better for me being able to put faces and voices with the screen names. Thanks from me as well to everyone who had a hand in finally organizing something like this.

An interesting evening, to be sure. I’d have stayed longer, but I was putting beer on top of an empty stomach and I got a little ahead of myself. Great to meet everybody, except for Myron.
Him, I already knew! :) And he’s still Myron, that’s reassuring somehow.
Briggman, I second your motion. Next month at Calhoun’s. Been meaning to try out their micros anyway, haven’t quite gotten around to it yet.

Here’s the TV3 Creswell story from the Sime soundbite last night. Sorry, guys: no video of us in the background.

Finnegan,
Me, my wife and Josh was on TV-3 when Mr. Sime was shaking hands.(FYI)

Damn, Benny, you beat the living crap out of that sentence. :-)

It probably should have been something like:

My wife, Josh, and I were on TV-3 when Mr. Sime was shaking hands.

Oh yeah, Myron’s got yet another press release coming when he returns from a couple of days at the beach.

Good to meet you last night, Dave.
Shoot me an email, wouldja?
I wanna back up that bomb I threw on the way out last night, but I don’t wanna do it on this board.

Aw, come on Kestrel…we all like a little drama in our lives. And Dave…you be nice to Benny…you guys were playing so nice last night….I have pictures to prove it…and I’ll post them when I get a minute.

Emmy..you looked like you were drunk in them!!! Come over and see them tomorrow and help me set up the Flickr acct Finney was telling me about.

Comment from kestrel9000

Setting up flickr is easy, Christa.
It’s just yahoo.
Go to flickr.com and log in with your yahoo ID and password and it will walk you through the rest.

I don’t have yahoo….

Comment from kestrel9000

You can do it that way, and set up a yahoo account, or you can use photobucket.com or imageshack.us.
With imageshack, you don’t have to set up an account. There are size and bandwith limitations on imageshack and the free photobucket (I subscribed to photobucket ‘cuz I use it to death) that are more rigid than they are on flickr.

I always look drunk in pictures! I’ll help you if you don’t figure it out tonight.

Sorry Dave,
I got my hitch mixed up with my giddy-up.
