Sorry I didn't get more but here's what I got. If you took pictures as well, link them here.
Posted by adampsyche at March 23, 2003 10:00 AMI have some, and will post them tonight after I get home from work. Should have them up by the end of the Oscars.
Had a good time, and it was great -- as always -- to see everyone, not to mention meet new friends.
(and great picture of Pips asleep, adam! Much better than mine.) by the way, I think you're misidentifying Mo Nickels in your third shot...but unfortunately I can't remember who that is.
Posted by: Vidiot on March 23, 2003 11:47 AMThat bespectacled gentleman would be the inimitable anathema, who came bearing vinyl. Good to finally meet ya dude.
Posted by: jonmc on March 23, 2003 12:01 PMYou guys suck, getting to meet up like that. It's not fair to those of us in the more geometrically angular states, I tell you.
Posted by: Crash on March 23, 2003 12:11 PM(didn't recognize without that suave jacket he had on earlier.)
Posted by: adampsyche on March 23, 2003 12:14 PMI'll go next. I found these in my camera this morning. I didn't take all of them.
adam, those pics are great. (I'm the hairy arm wielding the Pocky stick. I recognize the watch.)
There was that other table of latecomers (that was anathema? okay, cool), none of whom I recognized, and I kept meaning to go over there to be obnoxious and then everyone started leaving and they were gone and I hope they got shot as much as the rest of us did.
I had a ton of fun, but can I just say it was weird being home by midnight?
Posted by: Chico on March 23, 2003 12:15 PMYeah, Crash. They used to give me a number to call. Now, not even that.
Though I did get a head start on that Fair Isle sweater I'm knitting for the neighbour's Peke.
Posted by: Miguel on March 23, 2003 12:15 PM*wonders what cocktail can be made from a base of sour grapes*
Posted by: Miguel on March 23, 2003 12:16 PMI thought that was you, but misidentifying a limb is pretty embarrassing. Trust me.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 23, 2003 12:19 PMAlso, since no one would see it in the other thread, the person that sets my teeth on edge is Jimmy Kimmel. Just whose cock did he gum to get not one, not two, but THREE different television shows? I'm telling you now that his fame is one of the signs of the pending Apocalypse.
Posted by: Crash on March 23, 2003 12:19 PMI'm sure it's a trick of the lighting, but our witchstone appears to be mustachioed in this picture. I'm sure she'll appreciate me pointing this fact out.
Posted by: Crash on March 23, 2003 12:22 PMCan anyone recommend a good program for pictures? I notice you used Gallery, adam. How do you like it?
Posted by: Vidiot on March 23, 2003 12:42 PMAnd I have no idea what I'm doing here.
Pictures of me suck.
Posted by: Vidiot on March 23, 2003 12:44 PMLove it. I used an older version on my old host, and it was pretty good. This one has a few new features. 'Tis good.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 23, 2003 12:51 PMSad to have missed this bacchanalia. Meanwhile, in another bar in another part of the city, I was being terrorized by a window dresser for Bergdorf Goodman.
Posted by: cowboy_sally on March 23, 2003 12:52 PMI was being terrorized by a window dresser for Bergdorf Goodman.
But do you have pictures?
Posted by: Vidiot on March 23, 2003 01:02 PMLet's see: *holds one hand up* monkeys, *holds other hand up* window dressers.
Damn.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 23, 2003 01:04 PMSorry for the verbal nonsense today. I'm at the ranch, and there's four employees here and a grand total of 0 customers.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 23, 2003 01:05 PMYou guys *do* realize what torture this is for those of us in other parts of the country. These meetups always look so fun and, you know, familial. (Wait, you mean everyone's family doesn't simulate sex with stuffed monkeys? Uh oh...) Seriously though, it looks like a great time and I, for one, an envious.
But -- why is this thread posted here, and not at MeTa?
Posted by: boomchicka on March 23, 2003 01:10 PMSorry I missed it... :( But what's this "home by midnight" crap?! :o
Posted by: roe/metrocake on March 23, 2003 01:20 PMFor the next one, we're going to procure some Roxxoff and become "randy super beings".
Posted by: liam on March 23, 2003 02:45 PMNone will actually contain Viagra, produced by US pharmaceutical company Pfizer, relying instead on Chinese herbs such as cordyceps and epimedium grandiflorum, better known as Horny Goat Weed.
Of course Liam and I will always know it as epimedium grandiflorum.
Posted by: Miguel on March 23, 2003 03:14 PMDefinitely makes me want to be sedated...
(Although, to be fair, pretty much everything does these days...)
Posted by: Cyrano on March 23, 2003 06:22 PMI was fantastic meeting everyone. Sorry I cut out early. I needed to take full advantage of my last free night at a fancy hotel! I know you all understand.
Posted by: anathema on March 23, 2003 06:39 PMPost meetup MeTa thread. It was fun seeing all of you, let's do it again when ebk's in town, if not earlier
Posted by: riffola on March 23, 2003 10:06 PMPost meet up thread. It was fun seeing all of you, let's do it again when ebk's in town in June, if not earlier.
Posted by: riffola on March 23, 2003 10:07 PMMy calendar's been cleared for weeks now. What is so rare as June in EnWye, with a side of EeeBeeKay?

Goodnight. I'm going to bed.
Posted by: ColdChef on March 24, 2003 12:04 AMwhat for?
I suppose obligatory "churchisprayingforthetroops"
video. I think they interviewed my hubby's teacher assistant (hubby wrangles 7 year olds in Children's Church, more power to him.)
This is along the lines of-you can't have a hurricane or a snowstorm without video of people buying copious amounts of milk and bread.
On a more on/topic note, do any of you apes live anywhere near North Carolina? It's beginning to feel pretty solitary around here.
where in NC? I'm from a little town near Raleigh. (but live in NYC now.)
Posted by: Vidiot on March 24, 2003 02:17 AMFayetteville. (What little town near Raleigh? I did spend a year or so in Raleigh at one point.)
Posted by: b*nnyf*re on March 24, 2003 08:52 AMI'm sure it's a trick of the lighting, but our witchstone appears to be mustachioed in this picture.
Crash, it was not a trick of the light. Obviously, you have discovered my evil twin.
Posted by: witchstachio on March 24, 2003 10:20 AMI wish we hadn't eaten all the caramel Choco Flake, I could go for some now.
Posted by: jonmc on March 24, 2003 10:49 AMFirst: Dang it! I hate missing meetups with my adopted NYC mefi crew. I will never forget walking through the door at Blah Blah, looking around, and having someone come up to me and say "Here for the pancakes?" Ugga-wugga.
Second: Bunny and Vidiot. I'm going to be in Greensboro on bidness M-W next week. Drinks, maybe?
Posted by: Fes on March 24, 2003 11:15 AMI bet that stuff tastes even better a few days after you open the bag.
And witch, I couldn't help but notice that you and your chocomoustached evil twin were never in the room at the same time. I appreciate good evil twin work, and you, my friend, are a master.
Posted by: Chico on March 24, 2003 11:16 AMFayettenam! I lived (and my parents still live) in Wake Forest, just NE of Raleigh and E of Durham. Went to high school in Raleigh, though, and have worked in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary.
I miss the Triangle and don't get back there as often as I should. Looking forward to coming back there next month for my mother's birthday.
Posted by: Vidiot on March 24, 2003 11:23 AMwould love to have drinks/pancakes with you Fes, but I'm in Noo Yawk now. Have a Cheerwine for me!
Posted by: Vidiot on March 24, 2003 11:37 AMAdampsyche: Your wife is a total babe. Seriously, how'd you land that one?
Posted by: brittney on March 24, 2003 12:27 PMThanks for sharing the photos folks, glad to see ya all had a good time... :)
Posted by: Thomcatspike on March 24, 2003 12:34 PMIndeed, looks like fun was had by all, and the rest of are exceedingly jealous, trust me.
I just wanna know when Stavros and Hama7 are going to have a Seoul Meet-up.
*ducks*
Posted by: ufez on March 24, 2003 12:53 PMWell, she scored me by having a femullet.
I think it was mostly Jasper who charmed her. I'm just the luggage that came along.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 24, 2003 01:18 PMApparently, there was much hair confusion. But, she had one serious mullet.
Posted by: adampsyche on March 24, 2003 02:56 PMI guess I remembered it from the show over the summer differently. *shrug*
