Breathe Through Your Nose
Blogstock 2007 or ‘The Vancouver International Bloggers Drinking Convention’ as it is now being called was all kinds of awesome.
On Friday at 4pm-ish I met up with Keira-Anne as she was getting off work and we walked to meet Rebecca to head on over to Steamworks for some pre-blogstock drink action with Duane, Tony and Adam. [John was working.. boooourns!!] Some interesting and great conversation was had by all and boobs came up a lot. I absolutely love that Keira goes on about them pretty close to as much as I do. Get me drunk and not just the conversations come up but the baby cleave and then some comes out.
It was then basically off to the Railway Club sans Rebecca and Keira though because Rebecca was getting up to do The 24 hour Blog-a-thon at 6am. She completed the Blog-a-thon this morning raising close to 400 dollars for the Surrey Food Bank. Well done!! Even though she missed a great time.
It was a tad bit surreal walking in and seeing so many faces I recognized from two and a half years of commenting, lurking and wondering and sometimes wrongly assuming how someone would be in person.
Jared and I have wanted to meet for AGES probably well over a year now of chatting and saying LET’S MEET but I am such a snob about leaving the West End we never ended up meeting, I’m sure it wasn’t ALL MY FAULT but it just didn’t happen until Friday night. We had planned on Facebook to pretend we had known each other forever, since the sandbox, not a big surprise we hit it off in about two seconds. I was disappointed that his partner wasn’t there but very happy that he had arrived with Elizabeth and her beau who Raymi has been suggesting I meet since she recently moved here. Foxxy who we also spent time with on Wednesday night at the fireworks was there but she left early with Jared and company, I think.
In no particular order I also met and had good times with:
Pat Zaph
Carmen
Chad
Danielle
JaG
Nome
Jennifer
I have to say that for me the night went better than expected seeing as I really had no idea what to expect. I am really glad that I took part. It is just insane to me that blogging the thing that keeps you behind your computer nerding out is the thing that seems to be getting me out more and more lately.
Be sure and check the rest on my flickr.

ha, partner in crime, eh? well I DIDN’T LET ON to anyone that you were already titsy when i got there, but YOU told everyone I was a cheap drunk! at least there was a nacho to absorb the vodke from my one double caesar.
it was awesome going out, sans baby and f-wit, for sure. it was totally relaxing and exhilarating and let’s be honest…we were *this* close to making out, so it was good times.

i would like to take this moment to coin the term Autopaparizzm.
thats 2 zs, not one. because the viewer is the viewed.
we are now all autopapz.
VIVA LOS AUTOPAPZ!!
soon, all the autopap bloggers will write in the third person about the person who they took pitures of being them. then the self depricating dialogue will be easily directed at a third party, and they will hold interventions with themselves.

ach bein claudette is correct!
Lindsay Lohan does need a blog. Ill set up for her, make it all pink, with a matching MySpazz page. Then i’ll spam her little brains out…. using Shakespeare.
Oh sweetness I can see her now:
“duhhh what does to be or not to be mean in the context of fancy shoes and pricy stuff….”
Actually that is very bad impression.
I’ll add that to my to-do list
Mental note.
Set up Lindsay’s blog.
Start a Marxism fanzine/Coffee Morning.
Suck trousers and laugh like a Jackal on Meth.
…and ….
Improve Lindsay impression.
Job done!
Many thanks.

i get super jealous about all these blog meet ups. toronto. vancouver. and since I am stuck smack dab in the middle (basically) and have a hard time believing there are even other sask. bloggers, a blog meetup is waay in the distance for me. it looks like you had a crap amount of fun though. awesome!
July 30th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Wow, looks like you all had a great time. I wish I lived closer so I could come crash the partay!!! Maybe one day ;O)
