If we've met and I've forgotten you, /msg bill and I will add you to the list. Don't recognize me? I'm the chubby guy on the far left in the gray shirt in this pic: http://www.accipiter.org/gallery/browser/index.pl?album=hotdamn2&img=075.jpg Also, http://profiles.yahoo.com/billdozer74.
Bill Dauterive was here!
(I thought about posting this to the aftermath node, but it's getting a bit lengthy, so I figured this was a better place.)First, I want to apologize if I came off as a bit aloof. This was my first noder gathering, and I'm normally extremely shy. Keep this in mind: in a situation where I'm in a crowd of seventy people, only a handful of whom I'd met before, my normal instinct is to run away in terror. Instead, I really tried to introduce myself to as many of you as I could. You're all intelligent, interesting, fascinating people, and it was a pleasure meeting all of you.
A few things I'll remember:
- Zot-fot-piq's neigbors calling the gathering a "go-to-hell party". More than once.
- Having one of the best seats in the house to the Node slam (which rocked, by the way--Walter has my sincere thanks), and having kmcardle lay his head on my lap.
- Listening intently to ideath's vivid description of her flight, during which she saw many distant fireworks displays. It was like watching stars being born and dying...
- Getting a little plastic ninja from NinjaPenguin. Thanks!
- Just chilling out with some noders at Goodale Park.
- Monkey Ball. 'Nuff said.
- Struggling to put up the badminton/volleyball net with Zot-fot-piq and ideath. It's a good thing Bart's parents did most of the cleaning up before we got there, because we had a hard time putting that damn thing up.
- Playing badminton with randir. Too bad the combination of too much beer, too many cookies, too much heat, and too much Bill Dauterive got me winded way too quickly.
- Speaking of randir, he really liked the socks I was wearing.
- qousqous walking up to me, removing my name tag, putting it on, then walking away without saying a word. I think he had ten name tags on at one point.
- radlab0 walking up to me, smiling, and scratching my head without saying a word.
- Finally meeting jessicapierce!
- A new measuring standard: The Sharpie! (11.5 Sharpies=1 ideath)
- Getting tickled and clawed at by dizzy's and Katyana's ferrets.
- ccunning's and karma debt's wonderful dinner. I took a bite of one of the portabella mushrooms, and my knees buckled. I must know how to make these! (update: karma debt says re: yr h/n.. I'm glad you enjoyed the food!! To cook the portabellas like that, just marinate them in some balsamic vinegarette salad dressing.. and grill for a few mins on each side. Bon Appetit!!!)
- Watching WonkoDSane blow huge bubbles, and seeing the pictures Accipiter took of them. They turned out really well. Go to Accipiter's site and take a look.
- Doodling on the sidewalk with chalk. Someone came up, and asked about everything2. A future noder, perhaps?
- Watching Spackle and Chris-O jam. I wish I'd known the songs--I would have joined in.
