I'm back from the NYC Agro meetup. The pics are downloading. Will post soon.→[More:]
NYC Mecha folks are so cool. Amber, thanks for letting be a bum all night. Great to see you. And the rest of you folks... I <3 you all!
I was going to crop and make pretty and attempt to rival Dashiv but I suck. Well that and I drank one or two more beers then intended...so suck on that and enjoy. TPS, you are in charge of identification :) (I grew tired of captions...)
That was fun. The one photo of me is terrible. I should have vetoed it. Hey ho. Very cool to meet mr and mrs agropyron. Tired now. Beers on Thursday night = the bad.
I wish someone had taken a picture of me kicking jon in the nuts, though. Or that he hadn't reflexively blocked my kick. That wasn't nearly as satisfying as I thought it would be.
Confidential to amberglow: You are such a catty bitch! We should definitely be hanging out more often.
Oh, and the best part of the night was actually while I was waiting for the 10:19 train home. I'd bought a bag of $1.25 popcorn to munch on while I waited and apparently there had been a Rangers game tonight. So the concourses were filled with fans in their jerseys waiting for their trains, too. I was watching the board for my track number and two guys passed by, one of them lingering by the board. I had way too much popcorn, so I just kinda held the bag out to him. He was obviously more drunk than I (I only had three vodka tonics) and was also obviously trying to pick me up. Seeing as I've had enough of boys for a while (and NYC guys are really forward!) I was nice to him and let him have more popcorn, but I wasn't about to do more drinking with him.
So his friend who is more sober than he is comes back to get him on the train to Ronkonkoma, and I offer him one more handful for the road. He then pulls out his wallet and hands me a five dollar bill, in payment for letting him have some of my popcorn. I graciously refuse once, then take the money. I also graciously refuse his offer of whatever he was offering, and shoo him on his way.
So tonight I got to geek out on comics with safetyfork and agropyron, set out the lure with TPS on Vegas, square some things with Pips, kick jonmc in the nuts, and I got $5.
awwww! I am bummed I missed this... Considering that I missed it for work. Hugs guys, you all look so happy and cute. Especially cute. Eeeek! that's a cliff right there?
I drank a little too much of the free booze from "big daddy" but it was great to meet mr and mrs agropyron, as well as the nyc crew I've missed before. Photos of me with my mouth open are bad and somehow accurate. And, Lola_G that's some wicked fast turnaround, I think you might have DaShiv beat there.
TrishaLynn: I'm saucy in another tab right now, excellent!
You kicked jonmc in the nuts, and you wish he hadn't blocked it? That would make it hurt more! Obviously someone hasn't learned the lesson about hurting people.
