The ProgBloggers BBQ

...was held on Saturday, July 28th, at the good Vijay Sappani's place. A great time was had by all. I left with my sobriety intact, and didn't try that joke with the lampshade.

It was fun putting faces and voices to the people you meet on-line. For example, Cherniak was there, and was disarmingly normal...actually charming. The whole "elfin" thing is overblown, or at least I saw no overtly elfin behavior. Had great conversations with "Buckets" and Steve V that will no doubt advance the cause of the revolution, and Vijay whomped up some impressive chicken wings.

A most pleasant way to spend a (mostly) sunny Saturday

    As promised @ Vijay's Garden Party: I re-posted the "Hick Hop" - Asylum Street Spankers video.

    Enjoy: they're sheer comic genius... but, you can't say you weren't warned.

    Honestly, I can't help it: whenever I see a party of folks talking politics or philosophy... I get a background soundtrack of 'Whatever'...

    now to go ferret out those photos!
    I had to leave while the sun was still up &, as I recall, that fridge was still sporting a lot of brews!

  8. Olaf,

    Might have been me. Apparently, though, the big debauch took place later, after I left. Isn't that always the way?

  9. I'm hoping for some photographic evidence of that then ;)

  10. So does this mean none of you were invited to the FD (as in "FornicatingDuo") "we're finally making it legal, if not moral" bash?

  11. Nah.. we don't obsess over stuff like that Reality - that's the conservatives and blogging tory obsession.
