Oh my god, Leotrotsky looks exactly like what I expected! (I mean, other than actually looking exactly like Leon Trotsky, obviously -- although on second thought, give Leotrotsky a goatee and a Red Army cap, and there just might be a family resemblance...)

Funniest line of the night was by IIHAA: "Wow... I've never had to say that out loud before."

Well...you did notice their location, right? Dead center of Pandamonium and Dis?
I kid, I kid. Indeed, there are a few cuties, but I have to say that I'm in total awe of eviltiff's shirt. It's fabu.

I wish I could have made it, but alas...next time. Looks like it was fun, though.

Why, WHY do I do things like this in pictures? Keep the hands down and the mouth closed, man!
That said, it was very cool to meet you all, and to get clobbered by multi-talented jessamyn in pool.

Well, I have been accused of worse -- I am the spawn of a DC lawyer.

Thanks for the photos, terrapin.
Not pictured: Tom, the metafilthy guy. Did anyone catch his meta-identity?

Actually, any meetup featuring jessamyn automatically "pwns", since she can edit^H^H^H^H persuade others into confirming her victory. Only meetups featuring the dreaded #1 can trump her presence.
Alas, the best I can do is to turn a few of my photo subjects into crushes under people's contacts. Doesn't seem to work on the photographer himself, though.

It was great to meet everyone who came out. I had to leave early so Jessamyn couldn't beat me at pool.
Thanks for the pictures.

It was good fun meeting everyone. Thanks IIHAA for mentioning that TP was present but not pictured (in my shots, at least). I too forget his username, and if he doesn't chime in to remind us, he may just become known as MetaFilthy (a great nick, that I hope he has sockpuppeted by now).
I should have kept snapping photos once we moved on to Cold Stone Creamery for late-night ice cream.
It was a good turn-out for a "school night" but hopefully we can get more folks out next time.
MrMoonPie: When are you going to post your photos? And for that matter, when are you gonna join the rest of us lemmings and get on Flickr? ;)

Didn't I only win because you scratched on the 8-ball, trots?
