14 October 2005

Mine eyes have seen the glory, and yours are about to.[More:]

Cali, Frisbee, and I met up with the peripatetic (and sniffly) Specklet in SF's Mission District this evening.

Wish y'all could have been there, but you weren't. Sucks for you.

[By the way, we were treated to visual proof of the "glory that is Specklet's breasts." You should all hope to be so lucky someday.]

A word about the shout-outs -- and specifically, the lack thereof. A collective decision was made to shout-out collectively, since none of us wanted anyone's feelings to be hurt by the inevitable memory slip.

So, collective shout-outs are here.

There were a couple of exceptions: Matteo, because of a specific kindness he showed to Specklet. Kenko, because he wanted to join us but couldn't. And Dodgy and Taz because, goddammit, they deserve it.

I made a list last night of all the shout-outs I wanted to squeeze in. If you're wondering whether your name was on it -- yes, it was. If you're wondering whether you'll see your name on a pumpkin, a bumpkin, or on Specklet's hooters, you won't.

I'm sure you'll agree that the UberShoutOut, sent to all of you with much love and snorking, is mighty fine.

And, apologies for the photo quality. We needed a DaShiv, but we couldn't find one.
Wow. Can I say, I have a preferential crush on Specklet. So nyeh! :)

I love the "I (heart) metachat" pictures.
Goes to work happy. With maybe *too* much of spring in my step.

Nice. I need to attend a meetup one of these days. Alas, San Fran is a little too far for me. You guys want to come out to Denver? ;-)

Specklet has hair now! Not that I've ever met her, but I've only seen the shaven-head picture.

I've been a bit down lately but that's really cheered me up - thanks bunnies!

And, my, aren't you a good looking bunch
posted by dodgygeezer 14 October | 04:27
Damn, I look like ass. I'd make excuses about being sick at the time, but so is the oh-so-lovely Specklet.

It was great to meet you all, sorry I had to duck out for a nap so soon.

!!!!!!!!!!

Love you!

posted by taz 14 October | 05:03
cali, i think you look fine, but tired.
and aren't we all?
so it's then merely fitting, if not de rigueur

I was thinking about the SF MeChaMeetUp last night coming back from Ikea. I had wood.

It made a nice desk.
posted by urbanwhaleshark 14 October | 06:56
dirty!
posted by ethylene 14 October | 06:59
great pics! and our first cleavage shoutout!!!

(i'll have to top it from Paris)

We've had a pants shoutout and a clevage shoutout - surely a penis shoutout cannot be far away. Come on guys, all it needs is partial wood, a soft tipped pen and a camera!
posted by dodgygeezer 14 October | 08:28
maybe for YOU it needs partial wood.
posted by sciurus 14 October | 08:37
What a way to start the day! Excellent shoutout, excellent pictures. Thanks.

On preview: I have some shoutouts on my camera from when Dano and some Mefites and I got together, but I've been busy and haven't downloaded them yet. I will soon.

Very cool. Eminently lickable.
posted by gaspode 14 October | 09:28
Oh, my. That was nice.
posted by jonmc 14 October | 09:50
such unbearable hotness.
posted by quonsar 14 October | 09:52
I ♥ boobies.

Well, I'd be able to shoutout to everyone individually, with notes, and pictures...
posted by jonmc 14 October | 10:03
"Welcome to Metachat, have a nice day!"
posted by Hugh Janus 14 October | 10:38
I know who isn't going to be on my real shoutout next time. I am not "MetaChat." I am an individual. Lazy ass Californians and Oregonians.
posted by dame 14 October | 10:52
dame, I really hope you meant that in jest.
posted by Frisbee Girl 14 October | 11:08
These shoutouts are simply unparalleled.
posted by agropyron 14 October | 11:33
and perky.
posted by jonmc 14 October | 11:36
Mostly. I don't like being lumped in to a group--that's how you wind up with no vegetarian sandwiches, or mustard on everything, or shoutouts on boobs, which really don't say much to me.

But I'm a pain in the ass.
posted by dame 14 October | 11:55
* puts dame in the "pain in the ass" group *
posted by dodgygeezer 14 October | 11:56
That's one hot table.

O, to be a red marker...
posted by me3dia 14 October | 12:01
Oh, do we use safety pencils and a circle of paper?
posted by dame 14 October | 12:01
Yay, gourds!!
posted by danostuporstar 14 October | 12:04
But I'm a pain in the ass.

Or just plain rude and childish. By all means, please do exclude my lazy ass from any and all acknowledgement in the future. Sheesh.
posted by Frisbee Girl 14 October | 12:06
I remember a crotch shout-out from dana/cowboy sally, but I have no idea where it is. I think it was to stav.
posted by whatnot 14 October | 12:09
I was there for that. I also made my own retort to coldchef, remember?
posted by jonmc 14 October | 12:12
I think you misunderstood where I said it was mostly in jest.
posted by dame 14 October | 12:13
thanks ladies! looks like fun was had!
posted by Mrs.Pants 14 October | 12:14
there should be a directory of mefi/9622/monkeyfilter/metachat meetup galleries.
posted by whatnot 14 October | 12:21
I love Frisbee Girl and dame. Can I just distract you guys for a minute?

I'm working on a personal campaign to put the prick back in prickly. I've already got a huge head start, and I'm thinking grassroots, man.

For real, my heart beats for you guys. Easy.

Hey, no arguing among the Cutie Bunch Friendly Pal Pack.
posted by danostuporstar 14 October | 13:02
You are all beautiful.

Someday we should have a simultaneous, multi-city meet-up. All on the same night. Perhaps updates with pictures throughout the evening from each locale.

Not a bad idea, huh?
posted by mcgraw 14 October | 13:15
What a gorgeous bunch of MeChas. Sigh.
posted by deborah 14 October | 14:44
Y'all are all adorable and it looks like so much fun, I'm jealous! ;-) LOVE the shoutout.
posted by mygothlaundry 14 October | 14:47
I fractured my elbow and wrist last night (of my dominant hand, no less!) and I don't even get a topless shoutout? Wah.
posted by kenko 14 October | 21:12
Oh, poor Kenko! What happened?

Not to rub salt in your broken bones, but I think the topless shoutout was reserved for those of us actually in attendance. Of course, mine is not the final word on this. I don't know if Specklet is taking requests for make-up shoutouts, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
posted by mudpuppie 14 October | 21:21
Glorious indeed. Why are the other people on MeCha all so good looking?
posted by dg 15 October | 05:47
By that, I mean apart from me, of course.

that is incorrect.
posted by matteo 15 October | 10:56
...those of us in attendance, and matteo.

damn, i wish i had a camera phone.
posted by mudpuppie 15 October | 15:38
Yay! Thanks for all the sweetness, bunnies! I'm back in Portland (and internet access) now, and almost over my cold. Woo.
