Internet Friends, Now With Skin On
Ξ May 6th, 2008 | → 14 Comments | ∇ alcohol, tequilacon |
I am to be on an early morning flight to San Antonio for work. There is laundry to be done (although contrary to what Adam might tell you, even the spin cycle doesn’t make me excited for laundry) and packing to be completed (read as “started”). Yet what have I done all fucking night? Read blogs and Twats. Yep, “wasted” my night with laughter at all of the internet friends that I was finally able to put skin on.
So much of me wants to write about our adventures in Philly, but I really think you need to go digging around for stories yourself. Like a scavenger hunt. Doing so myself has brought me to laughter filled tears several times tonight and I haven’t even gotten to half of the blogs of the folks I met at TequilaCon. Sure, part of me knows this is a copout, but the other part knows that a) these fuckers are much funnier than I am, b) I gotta get some shit done around here before I am out all week traveling and c) I sure as hell don’t wanna be the one telling stories that I shouldn’t be tellin!
Start here and be sure to make jumps from the comments: nycwd, poppy, adam, britt, karl, hilly, shiny, black belt momma, jen, dave2, metalmomma, shelli, finn
How about I am already looking forward to next year’s West Coast adventure. Bring it on. Just so long as I don’t have to room with Karl. (Maybe by then I will know how to get Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s “Relax” to play whenever I write about Karl’s late night adventures.)
I wonder if now that I met these people in “real” life, now that I have hugged them, broke bread with them, raised many a glass with them, if now I can officially refer to them as “my friends” and not have people I have known for years think I am crazy. Like Popeye I am what I am, but it really should not have to do with my love of my internet posse. Sweet, sweet posse. hehe…Hilly has ruined me on that phrase. And I love it.
P.S. I am curious if any TequilaCon participants made it out for Margaritas on Cinco or if enough was enough…
EDITED TO ADD: Ok people. Seriously. If you don’t go to Karl’s to read his pee your pants recap or over to Adam’s to watch the video that includes a mighty might penis being whipped out into my face or over to Dawg’s place to read about the Avitasuite or over to Britt’s to see photos, then you can all suck it. This is funny, funny stuff here people!
