Internet Friends, Now With Skin On
Ξ May 6th, 2008 | → | ∇ 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!

Lord, I can’t believe I managed to finish my epic story before midnight. SEVEN hours. Off and on, but mostly on. Finished at 11:59.
You rock and had me laughing as much as everyone else did. Laughter is crucial for any woman I plan to marry.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of all the stories! Altho, I’ve already read Karl, Britt, and Hilly tonight and am on my way to Adam’s. With each blog… the whole picture gets more detailed and i get more envious. What an awesome event!

Have fun in San Antonio!

I have trouble bringing the funny too. I’d much rather leave it to the pros anyway!
Have a safe trip.

Um, I went to TequilaCon and then went out for Cinco de Drinko. Please don’t judge.

“Sweet, sweet posse” giggle giggle giggle.
You are awesome. It was a total blast. I’m following your Twats now!

I really should have made an entire weekend out of it. I missed so much. It’s good there are all these recaps out there. With commentary, it’s almost as good as being there.

karl - do we have to get married? can’t we live in sin or something?
win - it really was fun. sorry i never really got drunk enough to call ya. and when i did break out the phone, jester talked to karl forever (as you probably heard.
fabby - i’m still slightly mad that you weren’t here at this one. although i am also glad coz it meant that i got to sit with shelli at dinner. ha!
avit - no matter how much fun i have down here it will pale in comparison to my weekend. although almost joining the mile high club with the smokin hot bald headed goatee wearing muscular man next to me on the plane would have trumped whackin it, jackin it and peeing on the floow. little dude was hot! at least he took off his shirt for me (had to show me his tattoos…yum).
finn - smart advice. leave the funny to the professionals. that i shall!
kat! - judge? hell, not here. here i will raise a glass and say way to go!!
hill - i’m so glad we shacked up together! it certainly helped me to fall in love with ya. (how about i am so sitting here with my towel the way we talked about…under the boobs and between the legs, baby)
zz - i’m so glad we had a chance to say hi, although it was entirely too brief! thanks for stopping by. i will be sure to tell jester that you appreciated his work.
shelli - hmmmmm, i think i like you following my twat. i mean TWATS. xoxo
bbm - now we all know for next year. honestly i didn’t know what to expect. it was quite the adventure. and i wouldn’t have it any other way!

You are *very* funny … and don’t forget — the first blogger at Tequilacon not afraid to question (seeming) authority.

delmer - and YOU, my new friend, give off one hell of an authoritative presence. i really enjoyed meeting you. i am out of town for work and so bummed that i don’t have more time to spend reading new blogs…can’t wait to really check out your site.

No margaritas for me on Cinco de Mayo, unfortunately. Come to think of it… I don’t think I’ve had anything to drink since TequilaCon. MY GOD! WHAT’S HAPPENING!?!?
