The Blue at The Red: Pictures of the June 22nd, 2007 Santa Cruz, CA Meetup! (original thread's closed...)
posted by Ambrosia Voyeur to MetaFilter gatherings at 1:11 PM (16 comments total)

In attendance: Annaramma, Contraption, gramschmidt, Doublewhiskeycokenoice, spiderskull, Nice Donkey, tacit_urn, and some very nice lurkers flagrantly spending at least five bucks per drink.

I had a LOT of fun. Thanks, spiderskull! Let's do it again.

You guys look way too cool to be mefites.

Still wonder what gramschmidt looks like ;->.

Discerning, intelligent company and the least obnoxious lounge in Santa Cruz make for an enjoyable time, and enjoyable photos.

And just to re-iterate, for posterity: Ralph never speaks in metaphor. There is no alternate interpretation. QED.

Hi Cran. I've been on a self-imposed, months-long absence. When did "longboat" become a verb?

Hi gram. Nice to almost see you. Nice to see Nice Donkey too. Perhaps Language hat will rule on longboat becoming a verb.

Oh, and I also had a lot of fun with you all! Let's meet up again sometime.

Also, apparently, Doublewhiskeycokenoice lives down the block from me, so I can superstalk him and his stylish beret.

I think an excellent time was had by all. For me, it was the perfect antidote to an anti-social workaholic week. Thanks for making it happen spiderskull and thanks for posting the pics AV!

Please ignore Contraption, the photos don't lie, we're all sexy hipsters with perfect hair.

Apparently I had such a good time, I posted twice!

Ya'll were some dapper ladies and germs. Also, RTS, my nose and I would like to thank you for saying we looked to cool for anything. It was a...new experience.

MetaFilter: It's called "owning it."

Indeed! I quite thoroughly enjoyed our event. MeFites make waaaay better company than the denizens of Pacific who ask me for spare change. As if I didn't owe waaaay more money than one could ever scrounge from the streets of Santa Cruz! THEY should be giving ME change.

Hi Cran!

Aw, shucks, Chuckles! I wish I could favorite that twice, once for flattery and once for affinity. Kisses!
