Yet another celebrity shout-out to #1. I'm jumping on this bandwagon and renting a recumbent for Halloween.
Nee Mafita Wett.

You're definition of "celebrity" is quite different from mine.

Not familiar with Maggie Mason- what is she "famous among dozens" for, exactly?

Yeah, Maggie is a friend that I can't really call a celebrity.

I know that's her tagline and all, but she's got enough readers to sponsor her own weekend getaway for fellow bloggers. And Intel sponsored her to-do list. That's plenty of celebrity in my book!

I don't know Maggie Mason, but anyone who can wear a fat dookie gold rope chain non-ironically* is cool with me.
*Maybe dookie gold rope chains are back in style. I wouldn't know. But unless Maft wears them, and it's part of the joke, then I'm guessing it's part of her ensemble...which is awesome

So. "Broad Summit." Huh. Someone care to explain? Does it involve, like, broads? Clever.

I've been following Mason's blog for years, especially after she developed Mighty Goods. I thought this was a fun shoutout. And fwiw, here's my daughter's humble addition to the "not Matt Haughey" meme. (Also not really a celebrity, except with the grandparents.)

She needs to at least add the glasses and helmet.
A party at which everyone was dressed as another MeFite, past or present, would be pretty fun.

I read Maggie's blog, too. She's definitely internet-famous, for a certain subset of internet (i.e.: people who read Dooce, finslippy, etc.).
