Toronto Blog Meet was great!



We met, drank and talked as though we had known each other for ages. The actual fact is that we do know so much about each other. We have shared lots of stories, advice and anectodes, but had never met until last night. As I walked up to the pub, I knew who they were even before anything had been said. It was obvious to me. Maybe a weird connection.

Thanks to all for a great evening! Rib Breaker and I had an awesome time and I hope to do it again without the wifey next time (wink wink).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops, I should add an addendum here to my 'wifey' comment, and just clear the confusion. When I said 'without the wifey' I meant my wifey Rib Breaker, not St. Dickeybird' wifey, who is also Nursie, whom I have not met, but if I did meet Nursie wifey, who is St. Dickeybirds wifey I am sure I would love her. That should settle it.

I had a great time too.
But Wifey wasn't there! That was NOAS/Mainja's friend.

NOAS/Mainja's friend? huh?

mainja said...

dickey is saying he didn't bring *his* wifey. i'm pretty sure you were refering to *your* wifey.

he's talking about bevy (heather) who is friends with no one asked us and me.

so very convoluted...

mainja said...

general comment, where is the picture of you and rb? i saw you take one, it should be up here too. he's not in any of the pictures 'cause he got delegated to taking them. i want pictures of rb dammit!

I am so sorry I didn't come now. Looks like you guys had loads of fun. Oh well, next time, or else housewarming in Owen Sound for moi.

mainja said...

we did, we had an excellent time. and as for shyness, well, we were loud enough that you could have quietly sat and observed and not actually had to interact, just something to remember for next time. ;)

Snooze said...

Great photos! It was a lot of fun.

Daelyn - we expect you to be there teh next time and jon the melee! And as Mainja said, we were pretty loud, so I can only imagine what people were thinking. Should have seen the faces of the tables next to us when NOAU picked me up! LOL - that was fun.

Mainja - I was referring to my wifey (RB). There is no picture of RB cause I chopped his head off (in the pic people, in the pic!!), but I will post one of us later.

epicurist said...

Snooze - It was AWESOME meeting and chatting with you as well. Please let me know if you would like me to fwd the pics to you. :)

Booze and trash talk. God honey it don't get much better than that. I love my laughs and especially when someone else is there to enjoy them with me.

Snafu - We had a drink for you.

Whatcha all think? This way we can enjoy the summer weather

Snooze said...

(picture kid looking in through the fence railings) I guess I do not post here often enough to get an invite to such gatherings. Sounds like lots of merriment. And the ubiquitous boob grab.
