Damn that was fun.
Though I was a little anxious at first, I went to Match for Blogtoberfest and ended up having a great time. It was great to put a face to the blogs I read on a regular basis.
Thanks to Jenny for putting on such an awesome event. It really was a lot of work, and she pulled it off better than anyone could have possibly expected.
Here are some of the blogs from some of the excellent people I met. I really encourage you to check them out:
- Jenny- of course, the hostess of the event.
- Sarah- Who knew immediately why I only said “the beach” when she asked where I lived.
- Stacey- Who’s blog I read on a regular basis and was very nice to talk with.
- Tom- Who I talked with about Miller Lite, fantasy football, and the art of blogging at work.
- Andy- Who calls himself a “blog snob.”
- Eileen- Who was my accomplice in hiding from the cameras.
- Lisa- Who, like me, didn’t know many people there and didn’t care.
I’m sure I’m missing people, but if you go here, you can see all the great people who were at the event. It was awesome.

I was thinking I hadn’t met you, because I was thinking your name was Fred, but it’s not. It’s Nathan. I met Nathan. That’s you.

hey! haven’t caught up on this site in a while….reading through though I had to give some of my guesses regarding Lebowski….I, like you have watched it couple hundred times (isn’t that also the number of beers Tom Hanks plans on drinking that summer in the burbs?)…Let’s see…haven’t seen it in a while, but bunny’s plate is definitely lapin (thank god for high school french), the dudes car is a ford torino, and donny’s last name is kerbatsas or kerbatsos or something…he actually has another first name too, huh? Can’t remember. I think the in-n-out was on radford ave, and the dude drinks at least 8 or nine white russians..or was it 10? Don’t know the others…who was the actress with the nine toes? I should watch it again it’s been awhile. Oh- and the actress in logjammin was a real life porn star, right? I’ll have to think of some for you…. or maybe I’ll ask about boogie nights.. anyway, have you seen the science of sleep? I can’t wait to see that. Also like to see Babel. Hard Candy was descent, I thought, and I’d love to hear what you thought of Brick (check it out if you haven’t seen it).

Nice to meet you last night! You were the guy who was looking for Tom, right?

It was so nice to meet you!
Thanks for the shout out! I am a total blog snob. And my blog is nothing to write home about!
Can’t wait to read the archives to find out what Tell “em Fred means!

See, I told you that you should go and I don’t even know anything about the webmaster/blogging world!
Sounds like you might have had a fun-filled weekend

JK about the “girl” - of course, you’d be the first ever Miller Lite MAN. Nice meeting you!

Hey - I met you and you reminded me how to block someone from my blog. Which was very helpful because sometimes I’ve very slow.
And I do not live on the beach, but I do live in skunkstown.
