So by now you’ve read all of the various accounts of the events of the past weekend (plus a few more entries). What do we learn from all this? All of our friends are geeks 🙂 That’s OK, we love them anyway.
A common theme in a lot of those entries is inertia, but I think that’s maybe a misnomer. What we really had was a great enjoyment of spending time with one another, and something of a reluctance to shorten that time in any way. datahawk likened the party to a small convention, and in a lot of ways that is exactly what it was. My biggest complaint about conventions, though, is that there’s always so much going on that you don’t have time to spend with the folks you don’t get to see much, the ones that live halfway across the country. Well, I guess this was our own selfish way of getting around that 🙂 Thank you all for coming, and for making this a truly memorable and enjoyable weekend. Will we be doing this again? You better believe it. Hey, I hear that NC Pride is on September 28 this year. Wouldn’t it be a hoot to have folks down for that?
But what about the folks that live all the way across the country? *sniff*
Luckliy, it seems that, as of late, I’ve been metting some of the locals out here. And, while I have no problem with them and some of them are cool, they’re just not you guys. You’d think with a lot of them being stoners that I’d fit in a bit better with them, but I do miss all you guys something terrible. If, gods willing, I am in a position to travel next fall, I may consider a trip to Memphis, but, unless you guys can sneak to Chicago for a quick weekend in mid-August, it’s going to be a while. 🙁
Re: But what about the folks that live all the way across the country? *sniff*
We’ll be at Memphis, of course, but I don’t really see us in Chicago in August. You’re certainly welcome to join us in September, though unfortunately we’re not exactly around the corner from Oregon.
Re: But what about the folks that live all the way across the country? *sniff*
Yeah, the trip to Memphis won’t be until next fall, unfortunately since, after my trip home in August, I’ll be gearing up for Conifur in October and FC after that. So, I’m left with a dilemma: Go home for my birthday next summer or go to MFM. I guess it depends on where I’m at in my life and how my trip home in August goes.
Fags on parade!
I know I intend to be there, assuming my life allows,
Was a lot of fun last year.
Hello there
Hey is it cool to add you to my friends list? Of course you are welcomed to do the same =)
