Yee-hoo! I have never visited your fine city and now I have one more reason to kick myself into gear.

Here's some more pics. Yes, scarabic. Bring your hat and we'll have a "hat-off". ::wink::

What a superfun time, thanks for hosting such a great get-together. My friend was like "those are your INTERNET friends? They seem so normal..." Off to the airport.

And here's another batch of photos from last night. Even though I left early, I'm still the photo-posting straggler.

Ditto Twiggy - I had to work late, as well. Despite my best efforts to leave, I kept being drawn back into the black hole. I even had the whole transportation thing figured out! I'm so sorry guys. It looks like you had tons of fun without me, though!

So, do I get extra Internet Points for skipping a meet-up to go see Snakes on a Plane?

r.a - Yeah, in my book, you do! By the way, we didn't win the T-Shirt competition. :( We didn't even win one of the three third place awards!!

My first shout out ever! Jessamyn, you have rocked my tiny little world. mwah! (Also, this was really cute!)

Megan - I have no idea how the judging process works. All I can figure is, lawyers have no taste. The winners are up on our website, if you're curious. For the record, yours was one of my top choices. And people around the office are intrigued by the material.

What the fuck, huh? There's like... three million shout-outs on that one page, but no Civil Disobedient. Is the name too long? Is that it? I have yet to recieve a single goddamned shout out. Is it because I mix up the "i before e" rule? What does a guy have to do?

w00t! Shoutout numero uno! Lookin' good, Jessamyn.
